The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap, which can be used in tandem with the TrollStore perma-signing utility to allow users to inject jailbreak tweaks directly into their apps without a full-fledged jailbreak, has been updated on Sunday to version 1.2.7 beta with bug fixes and improvements.
The RootHide development team shared the update in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday morning, noting that the latest beta update introduces the following changes over the previous release:
– Fix Safari causing kernel panic after enable tweaks on some devices
– Fix issue where Safari can’t read preferences after enabling tweaks
– Fix issue of being unable to enable tweaks for apps containing Apple Watch plugins
– Add check to prevent bootstrapping in the wrong environment
– Add check to check for unexpected multiple jbroot directories
– Auto-enable tweaks for the System Settings app on first bootstrap
– Update built-in strap files
Because this is a beta update, it’s not necessary recommended that all users update given the fact that this update hasn’t yet been adequately tested. On the other hand, if you’re experiencing any of the issues that are purportedly fixed in the change log above, then it might be in your best interest to give it a try.
New or prosecutive users are advised to run the latest stable release at the time of this writing, which continues to be version 1.2.6. If you have any of the problems above after installing version 1.2.6, only then should you upgrade to the version 1.2.7 beta until those issues can be resolved in a stable release.
It’s worth noting that because the RootHide bootstrap only injects jailbreak tweaks into apps, that it can’t handle most jailbreak tweaks that make system-based changes to SpringBoard. For that, either a full-fledged jailbreak or a semi-jailbreak such as Serotonin or NathanLR would be required, as these allow jailbreak tweak injection into SpringBoard on supported versions of iOS & iPadOS.
If you’re interested in giving the latest RootHide bootstrap beta a try, then you can download it from the developer’s Dropbox page that was shared in the announcement post. Please note that because it’s a beta build, you do so at your own risk.
The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap supports iOS & iPadOS versions 14.0-17.0.
