Ten years ago, MacPaw launched CleanMyMac. To celebrate this anniversary, the company has now introduced CleanMyMac X. Featuring an all-new design, the software update includes new features, a speed increase, and more.
Hot off the heels of a Rollectra/SemiRestore11 update this Labor Day weekend, developer and ex-Electra Team member Pwn20wnd has released another update to the un-jailbreaking tool on Tuesday. The latest update brings the utility’s version number up to 1.1.2.-1.
In case you’re in need of a refresher, the update that dropped on Labor Day weekend added support for iOS 11.3-11.4.X devices that had been jailbroken with Electra. Furthermore, it added a new option for un-jailbreaking your handset without losing your user data.
On Sunday, Cydia creator Jay Freeman (Saurik) issued a modest update for his Cydia Impactor utility for Mac, Windows, and Linux with bug fixes and improvements.
One of Cydia Impactor’s primary use is to side-load jailbreak apps for modern tools such as Electra, Meridian, and Yalu, but a recent issue involving authentication resulted in users receiving error code 160 when attempting to use the utility.
Whenever you hear the word “jailbreak,” Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV are some of the first devices that come to mind. But while the idea encompassing an Apple Watch jailbreak has been tossed around in the community for years, no large-scale Apple Watch jailbreak has ever made it to fruition.
While a developer-focused ‘prototype jailbreak’ dubbed overcl0ck was released at the start of 2018, it wasn’t quite what jailbreakers expected. But now, iOS hacker tihmstar has gone public with a new developer jailbreak for the Apple Watch dubbed jelbrekTime.
While a clear majority of jailbreak tweak developers are working on iOS 11-compatible projects, some are still developing for iOS 10 or even iOS 9.
Given the diverse iOS support in Cydia, it can be confusing to discern which tweaks will work on your device. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called Compatimark by iOS developer CP Digital Darkroom attempts to make this process easier on the user.
If you’re using the Electra1131 jailbreak on your iOS 11.2-11.3.1 device, then you may want to consider opening Cydia and installing the newest updates to Substitute and Tweak Injector as soon as you humanly can.
These updates, which were issued by the Electra Team on Friday, implement an official ‘Safe Mode’ on devices that have been pwned with the Electra1131 jailbreak tool.
In an unexpected move on Wednesday, Electra Team member CoolStar has published the source code for the Electra1131 jailbreak tool on GitHub.
The move to open-source Electra1131 came after a public spat broke out between CoolStar and ex-Electra Team member Pwn20wnd on Twitter.
The Electra Team’s new jailbreak tool for iOS 11.2-11.3.1 devices received a couple of minor updates over the weekend to address a few issues that were present in the initial release.
Full details concerning the most recent updates to Electra1131 are listed on the tool’s official web page, and will also be outlined for your convenience below:
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the Electra Team released their updated jailbreak tool for iOS 11.2-11.3.1, and more than 34,000 people have already pwned their devices with Electra1131 as of this writing.
These statistics appear in a live counter that is displayed at the very bottom of the official Electra website.
Electra Team member Pwn20wnd announced via Twitter on Friday that the team’s iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak tool would be coming “really soon,” and soon after, the official Electra web page received a notable revamp with download links.
As we can see, there are two versions of the Electra1131 jailbreak tool: 1) a developer version that uses a multipath tcp exploit and requires a developer account to be used, and 2) a regular version that uses a vcf exploit and doesn’t require a developer account.
Good news on Wednesday for those who’ve been eagerly awaiting a jailbreak for iOS 11.3.1: the Electra Team announced that their upcoming jailbreak tool would be released in coming days.
As it would seem, the Electra Team will use an in-house APFS bypass to solve the remount issue that was delaying the tool’s release. Now all that appears to be left is a bit of packaging and polishing before Electra 11.3.1 becomes readily available to the public.
Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad has long been considered a taboo practice by Apple, the manufacturer of these handsets. And now an updated support page published on the Cupertino-based company’s website discourages jailbreaking in its entirety.
The page, updated on June 15th, targets a bevy of potential side-effects from jailbreaking your device. These include, but aren’t limited to:
