Jailbreak news of the week: Novelty jailbreak tweaks, unofficial palera1n GUI, RootHide updates, & more…

Covering the latest information in the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking worlds is a big part of what we do here at iDownloadBlog, so we can only imagine that a good chunk of our readers who stick along for the ride are interested in these topics as well.

That said, we come at you every Sunday with a roundup piece just like this one, ensuring that our readers get a second chance to see everything that’s happening with jailbreak tweaks and jailbreak releases in case their busy lives prevent them from seeing it the first time.

This weekend’s roundup will encompass everything new spanning the week of Monday, September 30^th to Sunday, October 6^th, and we’ll go over not only the latest jailbreak tweak releases, but also any relevant news regarding hacks, exploits, and jailbreaks that our readers may want to know about.

Important stuff from this week

Best novelty jailbreak tweaks for iOS 16

The iDB team has compiled a list of the best jailbreak tweaks that offer novelty functionalities on jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 devices.

You can read all about them in our full roundup post.

Unofficial palera1n GUI released

An unofficial graphical user interface (GUI) for the palera1n checkm8 bootrom exploit-based jailbreak has been released as users continue to wait for an official GUI since an announcement made in December of 2022.

The GUI is an alternative to the command line interface (CLI)-based tool that most palera1n users have been using since inception.

You can learn more about the unofficial palera1n GUI in our full review post.

RootHide Bootstrap updates

The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap received important updates this week, enhancing the features and stability of the TrollStore-based tweak injection method for apps in several ways.

You can learn more about the latest RootHide Bootstrap updates below:

Nugget updates

The Nugget SparseRestore-based system customization utility for iPhones running iOS 17.0-18.1 beta 4, received important updates this past week with improvements and fixes.

You can learn more about the latest updates below:

Nugget v3.0 released

jbredir

The new jbredir web utility makes it an effortless endeavor for jailbreakers to add repository URLs to several of their package manager apps with nothing more than a tap.

Upon entering the desired repository URL into the website, it can display a button for adding that repository URL to various popular package manager apps, such as Cydia, Installer, Sileo, and Zebra.

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

No Redirect

No Redirect is a new and free jailbreak tweak that users can take advantage of to prevent apps on their device from automatically linking to other apps when tapping on URLs or in-app links.

This means you won’t get jolted from one app to the next and lose your spot in your previous app, for example.

You can configure this tweak in-depth, so we recommend checking out our full review post to learn more about how it works.
