Earlier today, the Electra Team released version 1.3.6 of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak with improvements for the Sock Puppet exploit and a fix for random crashes after jailbreaking, and as it would seem, they’ve just now pushed a similar update for the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak.
The Electra Team announced ChimeraTV v1.3.6 via Twitter just a few minutes ago:
An updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool was released by the Electra Team on Friday, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.6.
The Electra Team announced the latest update early this morning via Twitter, noting that it would improve the reliability of the Sock Puppet exploit and resolve a rare crash that could occur shortly after jailbreaking a device:
The Electra Team released updated versions of both the iOS-centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool Wednesday evening, bringing both tools up to version 1.3.4 on the official Chimera download page.
The Electra Team announced these new updates just a few minutes ago via Twitter, denoting some of the changes that came with each new iteration:
The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool late last night, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.3 on the team’s website.
Citing a Tweet shared via the Electra Team’s official Twitter account at the time of release, this update implements support for the new Sock Puppet 3 exploit by @umanghere, which enables support for A7-A8(X) devices on iOS 12.1.3-12.4:
The Electra Team released another update for the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool Monday morning, bringing it up to version 1.3.0.
Citing a Tweet shared via the Electra Team’s Twitter account late last night, Chimera v1.3.0 adds support for A8 devices running iOS 12.4:
The Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak tool officially picked up support for iOS 12.4 within just the last couple of hours, but the team continues to work hard to refine the tool for optimal performance and stability. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the iOS 12-centric jailbreak tool just received another update.
Chimera v1.2.9 was announced via the Electra Team’s official Twitter page just minutes ago:
The Electra Team released Chimera v1.2.8 to the general public Sunday evening with support for iOS 12.4 on A9-A11 devices with iOS 12.4 installed, a move that closely mirrors one made by Pwn20wnd with the unc0ver jailbreak tool Sunday morning.
The Electra Team announced the update just minutes ago via Twitter:
If you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for new ways to trick out your pwned handset, then you’ve come to the right place.
This roundup will discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 12th to Sunday, August 18th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with the rest afterward.
The Sileo Team released another update for the Sileo package manager Sunday evening, this time bringing it up to version 1.3.1.
The announcement was shared via the Sileo Team’s Twitter page just a couple of hours ago, and as it would seem, the update switches to zsh as the default shell for installing packages on jailbroken handsets:
Anytime you jailbreak an iOS device, one of the first things you’re ever advised to do is change your handset’s root password, which is commonly used to access elevated privileges in mobile terminal when entering complex commands. The password is always “alpine” out of the box, but users can change this to almost anything they want to increase their handset's security from a commonly-known password.
As imperative as changing the root password may be, many jailbreakers either forget to do so or shrug off its importance. For that reason, we’re particularly fond of a sleek concept that was shared to /r/jailbreak over the weekend that rethinks the way jailbreakers will interact with their root password after jailbreaking their handset for the first time.
We fashion together an easy-to-digest jailbreak tweak roundup every week such that you can make well-informed decisions about what to install on your pwned handset. This week is no different.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released on most significant repositories from Monday, August 5th to Sunday, August 11th. As always, we’ll discuss our favorite releases first and then cap things off with an outline of the rest afterward.
Users of the Chimera or Electra jailbreaks will be happy to hear that the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager on Tuesday with bug fixes and performance improvements.
The Sileo Team announced the release of Sileo v1.3.0 via Twitter just this afternoon:
