Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
It was just recently shared that Pwn20wnd was working on 4K device support (A7-A8) for the unc0ver iOS 12.0-12.1.2 jailbreak, but that hasn’t stopped the hacker from performing routine maintenance to ensure the long-term stability of your jailbreak.
Pwn20wnd has just pushed beta 33 of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with a bevy of bug fixes and improvements concerning the tool’s newfangled iOS 12 support. The hacker announced the update via Twitter Sunday morning:
It was only a few days ago that hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd dropped the 29th beta of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with full-fledged Cydia and Cydia Substrate support for A8X-A11 devices running iOS 12.0-12.1.2. But the release left many devices, especially of the A7-A8 and A12 varieties, unsupported until further notice.
Fortunately, A7-A8 device users can now rest assured that Pwn20wnd is working to support these handsets. The hacker appears to have changed his Twitter name over the weekend to “Pwn20wnd is preparing 4K support for unc0ver,” an indication that several unsupported handsets are about to become supported:
There’s been a lot of hype in the jailbreak community these past several weeks as we inch ever so close to a full-fledged iOS 12 jailbreak, but those already pwned on iOS 11 might be wondering what kind of jailbreak tweaks they should install.
This roundup will go over all the jailbreak tweaks released this week in Cydia. It will encompass all the tweaks released from Monday, February 18th to Sunday, February 24th in addition to some others. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites first and then outline the rest afterward.
Those familiar with jailbreaking have undoubtedly heard about Sileo, a third-party package manager endorsed by the Electra Team that aims to compete with Cydia for market share; but what if we told you that you didn’t need to have a jailbroken handset to give Sileo a try?
Indeed, in an unforeseen turn of events, the Sileo Team released a public .ipa file on Saturday that can be side-loaded onto non-jailbroken handsets via Cydia Impactor or installed directly with online services such as Ignition.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release to beta 29 on Friday with official support for iOS 12.0-12.1.1 on A8X-A11 devices, but as you might come to expect, this momentous initial release is being closely trailed by a multitude of bug fix updates to warrant tool stability for the end user.
Two of those updates came as revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Saturday. Citing a couple of Tweets shared by Pwn20wnd, beta 30 and beta 31 each tie up some of the initial tool’s loose ends and incorporate an important “safety improvement:”
After much anticipation, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has dropped the 29th beta of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with full support for iOS 12. Unlike the ‘partial’ iOS 12 support that unc0ver picked up just under two weeks ago, today’s news means that unc0ver now bundles an iOS 12-compatible version of Cydia and Cydia Substrate.
Important to note right off the bat is that this is a public beta and should be treated as such. The unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release does not yet support every device that can run iOS 12, however, that’s expected to change soon as work on the jailbreak tool continues throughout the public beta.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd is continuing the hype for his upcoming iOS 12 jailbreak on Friday as he inches closer to dropping the first public beta.
Subtle hints made their way to Twitter this afternoon as Pwn20wnd changed his name once again from “Pwn20wnd is preparing unc0ver for iOS 12…” to “Pwn20wnd is preparing to drop unc0ver for iOS 12:”
Before the days of Electra and unc0ver dawned upon us, there was Yalu, an iOS 10-centric jailbreak too by the talented hacker Luca Todesco (@qwertoruiopz); but apart from a few teasers here and there, the jailbreak community hasn’t heard much him since the Yalu days – that is, until now.
In a bombshell Tweet shared this week, Todesco released what appears to be a WebKit-based exploit that allows remote code execution (RCE) in web browsers with JIT. What’s more is that the exploit was only just fixed three days ago, which means it should be viable on all versions of iOS up to Apple’s latest release – 12.1.4:
It seems like the calm before the storm as we continue waiting for a public iOS 12 jailbreak with Cydia and Cydia Substrate support to surface, but rest assured, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd is on it.
In various subtle updates provided just this week, Pwn20wnd updated his Twitter Bio to say “Jailbroke iOS 11 and iOS 12” and updated his Twitter profile name to say “Pwn20wnd is preparing unc0ver for iOS 12…” seemingly to tease that the iOS 12 jailbreak is nearly complete:
The Sileo Team has been hard at work this week, renovating the Sileo beta preview and its various dependencies for optimal performance on devices that have been jailbroken using Electra.
As you might come to expect, the Sileo Team has been incrementally updating the community via Twitter with blurbs about what's new. Given just how much has changed in the Sileo beta preview since our last coverage, this piece will sum up everything new from this week.
On Wednesday, the Electra Team announced an update to the ElectraTV jailbreak tool for the Apple TV, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.2 to match that of the iOS version of the tool.
In a Tweet shared this morning by the Electra Team, we learn that ElectraTV 1.3.2 now supports tvOS 11.0-11.4.1 thanks to a port shared by @nitoTV and @Jaywalker. Furthermore, the update brings bug fixes and improvements:
While there’s been a lot of news encompassing progress on the iOS 12 jailbreak as of late, that hasn’t hindered third-party iOS 11-centric projects from making historic progress. One of the latest involves an untethered jailbreak for handsets running iOS 11.x.
Indeed, while it might seem too good to be true at first glance, iOS developer Jake Blair Tweeted a demonstration video from YouTube Monday afternoon showcasing his “spicy” untethered jailbreak on what appears to be an unknown iteration of iPad mini:
