The Misaka package manager app received another update Tuesday to v3.2.5, just one day after implementing a kfd exploit-based installation method for TrollStore 2 on iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1 devices.
The XinaA15 jailbreak made a comeback this past weekend after being updated to version 2.0 and picking up a new jailbreak method heavily inspired by Linus Henze’s Fugu15 rootful jailbreak for developers.
TrollStore 2 officially released on Monday, bringing application perma-signing capabilities to a whole bunch of newer devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.5-16.6.1 and 17.0. The previous generation of TrollStore already supported iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1, so today’s update is a refreshing one that gives more users access to powerful features Apple doesn’t want them to have.
It was a big day for a lot of iPhone and iPad owners as iOS developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) officially released a much-anticipated TrollStore 2 with support for firmware newer than iOS & iPadOS 15.4.1 for the first time. But as we touched on in our announcement post, there wasn’t yet a way for all device and firmware combinations to install it, but Misaka developer @straight_tamago has just made it easier, at least for some.
TrollStore, the perma-signing utility that took iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 by storm, received an update on Monday to version 2.0 with substantial changes, including the implementation of a new CoreTrust bug known as CVE-2023-41991 that adds support for iOS & iPadOS 15.5-16.6.1 and 17.0.
If you’ve been following jailbreaking in the past year, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the XinaA15 jailbreak. It was around long before Dopamine was and supported iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 devices, but it used arguably hacky methods to maintain a rootful-like user experience that eventually earned it deprecation in the community due to the community moving full-force over to rootless.
The Dopamine jailbreak tool for A12-A15 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 is the single latest jailbreak available for any device newer than the iPhone X at this point in time. Having said that, it’s no surprise that it’s a popular choice for jailbreakers today.
The RootHide jailbreak detection bypass for the Dopamine jailbreak just received an update to version 1.0.7 Monday afternoon, and not only a few hours later, Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder released an updated version of the Dopamine jailbreak.
The RootHide team on Monday released an updated version of the RootHide jailbreak detection bypass to version 1.0.7, bringing with it a plethora of improvements since the previous version.
The Misaka package manager app picked up another useful update on Saturday, this time bringing the utility up to version 3.2.0.
Apple has stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 17.1, the first major software update for iOS & iPadOS 17 since it first debuted this Fall. This means that downgrades to iOS or iPadOS 17.1 are no longer possible on modern handsets.
The Misaka package manager app received another important update on Wednesday, this time bringing it up to version 3.1.6.
