Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Nugget, the SparseRestore-based iPhone customization utility for macOS and Windows, picked up an additional update this week ahead of the New Year holiday, officially bringing it up to version 4.2.2.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the year of 2024, you’ve probably caught wind about all the efforts to bring the palera1n jailbreak to checkm8-vulnerable Apple TV units. This led to official support arriving in late July.
In a rarely seen walk back on Tuesday, iOS security researcher and Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released and then pulled an updated version of the Dopamine jailbreak tool in the form of version 2.3.
Just under two weeks ago, we reported about the release of the EverPwnage jailbreak for legacy devices running iOS 8.0-9.0.2 with an optional untether included for certain devices. But just this past weekend, EverPwnage developer LukeZGD released version 1.1 with a bevy of enhancements that may catch your attention if you’ve been eyeballing this project.
While perusing /r/jailbreak this past week, I happened upon a new and somewhat interesting release by Redditor /u/Smart-Ad-8635 called MySign that strives to be a convenient on-device sideloading platform for iPhones and iPads.
While some weeks are slower than others when it comes to news spouting from the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities, the fact remains that the iDownloadBlog team keeps close tabs on the latest developments that could have an impact on our readers.
Earlier this week, we shared a story about how palera1n team developers Nick Chan (@riscv64) and @mineekdev successfully ported iPadOS 18 to the natively unsupported iPad (6th generation). With this feat, it joins the iPad (7th generation) as one of only two checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices capable of running Apple’s latest firmware.
One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
The first thing you see whenever you unlock your iPhone or iPad and begin using it is the Home Screen. This is the part of your device that acts as the springboard into your favorite apps and user experiences.
Music listeners who primarily use the Spotify application to stream their favorite songs, and who also have a jailbroken device at their disposal, have a strong potential to be able to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called CanvasSync by iOS developer pkgFiles.
In case you weren’t already aware by now, the iPad (7th generation) is the only checkm8 bootrom exploit-susceptible device in Apple’s lineup that can run the latest available firmware – iPadOS 18. That said, it also just happens to be the only jailbreakable device on iOS/iPadOS 18 at this time. But what if that could change?
When it comes to iPadOS 18, it was nearly a miracle when we learned last Summer that the iPad (7th generation) would be the sole checkm8-vulnerable device to be able to run the latest and greatest firmware for Apple’s tablets. After all, Apple stopped supporting checkm8-vulnerable iPhones starting with iOS 17.
