Jailbreak news of the week: palera1n updates, RootHide bootstrap updates, iOS 17.5.1 unsigned, & more…

The iDB team takes immense pride in sharing iPhone and iPad jailbreak news. We not only cover developments as they happen, but we keep our readers apprised by sharing weekly roundups like this one to make it less likely that someone misses something important.

In this week’s roundup, we will be outlining everything we shared throughout the past week, spanning Monday, August 5th through Sunday, August 11th.

Important stuff from this week

Dopamine updates

The Dopamine jailbreak tool for iOS 15 and 16 devices picked up important updates this past week that you won’t want to miss.

You can learn about the latest updates below:

Dopamine v2.2.2 released

palera1n updates

The palera1n semi-tethered checkm8 bootrom exploit-based jailbreak tool for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-18.x received updates this past week that concern both existing and prospective users.

You can learn all about the latest updates below:

palera1n v2.0.1 released

RootHide Bootstrap updates

The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap received some beta updates this past week to further enhance the project for TrollStore users who use it for app-based tweak injection.

You can learn more about the latest updates below:

RootHide bootstrap versions 1.2.2 beta & 1.2.3 beta

iOS 17.5.1 unsigned

Apple just this week stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 17.5.1, one week after releasing iOS & iPadOS 17.6 to the general public.

This move prevents users from downgrading to iOS or iPadOS 17.5.1 after already upgrading to iOS or iPadOS 17.6.

You can learn more about the implications in our full news post.

Hikari

You can use the new Hikari jailbreak tweak to customize your jailbroken device’s system sounds.

Not only can you choose sounds from the provided sound library, but you can add in your own custom sound files if those aren’t good enough for you.

You can learn more about the Hikari jailbreak tweak in our full review post.

FilzaDirProbe

Some of you are already using the Filza file manager app on your jailbroken or TrollStore device, but if you’re looking to make it more useful, then the FilzaDirProbe jailbreak tweak can help.

This tweak adds power user-friendly features to the Filza file manager app, making the app more comfortable to use for advanced users.

You can find out the different ways it does this in our full review post.

RaiseLight

The RaiseLight jailbreak tweak disables raise to wake on the iPhone whenever you have the rear-facing LED flash turned on as a flashlight.

The tweak also disables tap to wake when you’re using the flashlight. Functionality returns to normal again once the flashlight is turned off.

You can learn more about RaiseLight in our full review post.
