Sunday morning, renowned iOS hacker Pwn20wnd publicly released unc0ver V1.1.0 with a plethora of bug fixes and improvements.
Pwn20wnd first announced the new version of unc0ver via Twitter, and his Tweet also denotes how we’ll see an updated version of Rollectra in the near future.
Just over a year ago, iOS developer Elias Limneos announced a ground-breaking jailbreak tweak called NFCWriter that enabled iPhone users to tap into the full potential of the NFC (Near Field Communication) chip embedded within their handset. This week, Limneos continues that fun with NFCWriter X for iOS, which can only be described as the latest iteration of the tweak.
NFCWriter X for iOS is intended for advanced users and tinkerers with an interest in playing around with NFC tags, Credit/Debit Cards, MRTD documents, and more directly from your iPhone. Nearly anything with NFC support can be tinkered with by NFCWriter X for iOS.
Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool has been receiving lots of updates lately, and if you’re like me, then you’re not always at a computer to download them. Fortunately, a handy online tool called Ignition can help you sidestep Cydia Impactor when you’re nowhere near your computer.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to use the online Ignition utility to install the unc0ver jailbreak on your iOS 11.0-12.4.1 iPhone or iPad [up to A12(X)] without a computer.
iOS hacker Pwn20wnd has been releasing a steady stream of updates for the unc0ver jailbreak tool since its conception, and it has come to our attention that another update for the tool was released Tuesday afternoon.
Citing a couple of Tweets shared by Pwn20wnd not too long ago, unc0ver V1.0.3 apparently resolves a few issues known to occur on supported beta firmware versions and further improves the RootFS Restore feature:
Over the weekend, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver V1.0.1 to disable the integrated RootFS Restore feature because of a problem that appeared to impact certain handsets running firmware versions between iOS 11.0 and 11.2.6. But as it would seem, the clever hacker found a way to circumvent it.
In a bevy of Tweets shared Monday afternoon, Pwn20wnd denoted how the problem appeared impact handsets with pending OTA updates downloaded on them. Upon discerning the cause of the issue, the hacker responded by releasing unc0ver V1.0.2.
It was only yesterday that Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3 was officially brought out of its beta stages, but the tool has since received its first update following the release of V1.
Sunday’s update, dubbed unc0ver V1.0.1, aims to prevent known problems with the RootFS Restore feature on iOS 11.0-11.1.2 handsets. As it would seem, it was implemented in an unsafe manner that compelled some users to restore via iTunes and lose their jailbreak.
It’s only been about a week since iOS hacker Pwn20wnd first launched the unc0ver jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3; nevertheless, it has already received a bevy of incremental updates from RC1 to RC9.
As of Saturday afternoon, however, it appears we’re officially out of the beta-esque RC stages. Pwn20wned officially launched what’s being dubbed unc0ver V1, and it apparently ties up many of the tool’s known loose ends.
iOS hacker Pwn20wnd took to Twitter Friday evening to announce the release of unc0ver RC9, which is yet another update for the brand-new iOS 11 jailbreak tool this week that provides its users with some notable improvements.
Citing the official /r/jailbreak post, the new RC9 release encompasses the following changes:
About a month ago, renowned security researcher Ian Beer announced plans to publicly release iOS 11.4-11.4.1-centric exploits as hacking focus shifted over to Apple’s newer iOS 12 release. It’s been near-radio silence since then, but as of today, those exploits are officially public.
As it would seem, Beer’s latest batch of iOS security exploits encompass the following:
It was just yesterday that iOS hacker Pwn20wnd released unc0ver RC7 with essential bug fixes and improvements encompassing the RootFS Restore on iOS 11.2-11.2.6 and the MP exploit clean-up method, but as of Thursday afternoon, he’s at it again.
Pwn20wnd has just released unc0ver RC8 with a slew of other critical bug fixes and improvements, and all users are advised to download and run the latest version when they can.
If you’ve been paying attention to the jailbreak community lately, then you’ve probably caught wind of a new iOS 11-centric jailbreak tool dubbed unc0ver by Pwn20wned.
Unc0ver has been gaining traction in the jailbreak community all week long, and Pwn20wnd just released unc0ver RC7 on Wednesday with important bug fixes and stability improvements.
Saurik (Jay Freeman) issued yet another update for the Cydia Impactor side-loading utility on Tuesday, bringing it up to version 0.9.50. It’s the third update for the tool released this week.
Cydia Impactor 0.9.50 fixes a bug that would prevent .ipa unzipping on Windows-based platforms. That said, if you’re using Windows and experiencing problems jailbreaking with unc0ver, then you might want to grab this update.
