Stay up-to-date with the latest news and releases of unc0ver, a semi-untethered jailbreak for all devices that support iOS and iPadOS 11.0 to 14.3.
Less than two weeks ago, Saurik (Jay Freeman) released an official iOS 11-centric update for Cydia Substrate, but it wasn’t long after the release that users who installed the package began reporting unexpected freezing issues with their jailbroken handsets.
A support thread was opened on GitHub nine days ago brought some much-needed attention to the issue, prompting high-profile members of the community like Pwn20wnd, sbingner, and Saurik to start looking into it.
Despite Saurik’s decision to shut down the Cydia Store, the jailbreak community is still running strong. New jailbreak tweaks are continuously being published in Cydia and are readily available for you to download.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we’ve shown you this week, from Monday, December 17th to Sunday, December 23rd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.
Pwn20wnd initially launched the pre-release of unc0ver v2.1.0 for public testing almost a week ago, and as it would seem, the hacker has been somewhat busy refining the tool ahead of the upcoming official public launch.
Citing Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release has seen revisions on at least three separate occasions since our original story, with the latest change taking place just yesterday.
Saurik released Cydia Substrate 0.9.7000 on Monday, an updated version of the code insertion platform that brings full support for the unc0ver jailbreak, improved stability on iOS 11, and much more.
Citing a Tweet shared by Saurik Monday morning, Cydia Substrate 0.9.7000 is allegedly the most “well-tested update ever” deployed for the platform, and is verified to work on most significant jailbreakable firmware versions, including iOS 3.0, 4.3.1, 5.1.1, 6.1.3, 7.1.2, 8.0, 9.0.2, 10.1.1 (mach_portal), 11.1.2 (extender), and 11.3.1 (unc0ver):
Just last week, Saurik (Jay Freeman) made the difficult decision to pull the plug on the Cydia Store. But how will this impact you? Perhaps not as much as you think.
Common misunderstandings have caused a lot of confusion surrounding what is happening to Cydia and what all of this means. If you’re searching for clarity regarding the matter, then you’ve come to the right place. This post will answer many of the remaining questions.
Whether you’re using Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool or something else to achieve a jailbreak on your beloved iPhone or iPad, chances are you’re looking for cool new jailbreak tweaks to bring out the best in your newly-pwned handset.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we’ve shown you this week, starting Monday, December 10th to Sunday, December 16th.
Pwn20wnd has been rather busy these last few weeks updating unc0ver with bug fixes and new features, but much like a machine, the hacker continues to polish the iOS 11-centric jailbreak tool with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Over the weekend, Pwn20wnd shared via Twitter the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release for public testing, further refining the jailbreak experience with improvements and bug fixes:
Pwn20wnd dropped the first pre-release of unc0ver v2.0.2 at the end of last week with significant improvements to revoke prevention, jailbreak speed enhancements, and bug fixes. After a couple of updated bundled resources were released over the weekend, it now seems that this particular version is ready for the masses.
We first learned about the unc0ver v2.0.2 public release in a Tweet shared by Pwn20wnd Sunday morning:
With Pwn20wnd actively updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool again this week, it’s clear that the community’s needs are not being ignored. That said, jailbreak tweak developers have launched a bevy of captivating releases this week, and we’re about to share those with you.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we've shown you this week, starting Monday, December 3rd to Sunday, December 9th.
If you’re using Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak on your iOS 11 handset, then it would be in your best interest to launch Cydia and refresh your sources at your earliest convenience.
As it would seem, the Unc0ver Jailbreak Resources package by iOS developer Sam Binger has been updated to version 0.11 on Friday with a critical bug fix. Pwn20wnd announced the update on Twitter Friday afternoon:
Hacker Pwn20wnd began the pre-release train at the end of November with unc0ver v2.0.0, but public testing quickly died down after a few iterations helped squash bugs. Consequently, unc0ver v2.0.1 was released mere days ago to bring the tool out of its ‘pre-release’ stages.
As of Thursday, however, Pwn20wnd launched another unc0ver pre-release for public testing; this time with the version number 2.0.2. Pwn20wnd made an official announcement about the new pre-release this afternoon via his Twitter account:
Given everything that’s been happening lately with the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3, it can be easy for some to forget about Electra and some of the noteworthy developments that were in the works for it.
One that struck us in particular was Sileo, a full-blown package installer that was supposed to replace Cydia on jailbroken iOS 11 devices. Five months ago, the Electra Team teased that Sileo would be “coming soon.” Fast-forward to today, and it’s still not available; so… where is it?
