Stay up-to-date with the latest news and releases of unc0ver, a semi-untethered jailbreak for all devices that support iOS and iPadOS 11.0 to 14.3.
It wasn’t that long ago that we shared news regarding the latest updates for the Chimera and ChimeraTV jailbreaks, and as it would seem, Pwn20wnd has been working hard on an update of his own for the unc0ver jailbreak.
The hacker announced the release of unc0ver v3.4.0 via Twitter just a few minutes ago, noting that it would implement @NedWilliamson’s new and improved Sock Puppet 2 exploit in place of Sock Port on older devices, as it seems to offer more reliability:
After a lengthy beta test period, Apple finally released iOS 12.4 to the public on Monday for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches alike.
While it can sometimes be tempting to updates to the latest version of iOS to take advantage of the latest new features, performance improvements, and security patches, jailbreakers and aspiring jailbreakers to be will want to steer far away from installing today’s software update.
If you’ve been paying attention to the slew of jailbreak tool updates in the last couple of weeks, then Jake James’ Sock Port exploit has undoubtedly caught your attention. Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-12.2 was the first to implement it, but it could only jailbreak A9-A11 devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.4 at the time.
Just this morning, James shared an exciting announcement on Twitter regarding the Sock Port exploit, and as it would appear, oodles of modifications and refinements throughout the past week have made it compatible with all devices running iOS 11.0-12.2, including the A12(X) variety:
It’s been a busy week for the jailbreak community as Chimera and unc0ver have each picked up support for @NedWilliamson’s new Sock Puppet exploit, permitting those with up to iOS 12.3 beta installed to jailbreak their handsets. That said, those folks must be itching for ideas as to what to install on their newly-pwned handsets. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.
This roundup encompasses all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, July 15th to Sunday, July 21st. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up by outlining the rest afterward.
Hot off the heels of the release of unc0ver v3.3.6, Pwn20wnd just released another update for unc0ver this evening, this time bringing the jailbreak tool up to version 3.3.7.
Pwn20wnd announced unc0ver v3.3.7 via Twitter just a few minutes ago, noting that it would make the Sock Port exploit a lot more reliable on 4K devices:
Pwn20wnd released unc0ver versions 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 just this morning with support for Jake James’ Sock Port exploit, which can be used to jailbreak A7-A9(X) devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.4. But as it would seem, these releases weren’t bug-free, prompting Pwn20wnd to update unc0ver once again this afternoon to version 3.3.6.
Pwn20wnd announced the release of unc0ver v3.3.6 via Twitter not long ago, noting that it would resolve issues with the Sock Port exploit failing to jailbreak specific 4K devices:
Pwn20wnd released two consecutive updates for the unc0ver jailbreak tool on Friday, with the first being unc0ver v3.3.4 and the second being unc0ver v3.3.5.
The hacker announced the two updated versions of unc0ver just this morning via Twitter, noting that they would add support for Jake James’ Sock Port exploit for iOS 11.0-12.1.4 on A7-A9(X) devices and improve the reliability of other exploits:
Pwn20wnd on Thursday released another update for the unc0ver jailbreak tool, bringing it up to version 3.3.3 and making it better for everyday use.
The hacker announced the update this afternoon via Twitter, and from what we can gather, this update mostly seems to contain bug fixes rather than new features of any sort:
Earlier today, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.1 with a zippier jailbreak process and bug fixes for dark mode on the iPad, but as it would seem, the talented hacker wasn’t yet finished refining his jailbreak tool.
Just this afternoon, Pwn20wnd took to Twitter to announce the launch another unc0ver update, this time bringing the tool up to version 3.3.2:
Pwn20wnd released a new update for the unc0ver jailbreak tool Tuesday morning, bringing the official public release up to version 3.3.1.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter, noting that it would make the jailbreak process significantly faster, especially if you were using the new Sock Puppet exploit by @NedWilliamson:
It wasn’t long after @NedWilliamson released his Sock Puppet exploit that Pwn20wnd and the Electra Team began playing ‘tag you’re it’ with continuous jailbreak tool updates to support the latest possible firmware version(s), and as it would seem, those updates may finally be starting to plateau.
In a Tweet shared just a few minutes ago, Pwn20wnd announced the official public release of unc0ver v3.0.0, which officially brings it out of beta testing:
Pwn20wnd has been hard at work over the past several days in implementing @NedWilliamson’s new iOS 12.1.3-12.2-centric Sock Puppet exploit into the unc0ver jailbreak. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there’ve been a lot of new updates to the unc0ver jailbreak, with most of those updates involving the tying up of loose ends in regards to the new exploit.
While Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak just this morning to version 3.3.0 beta 6, it now seems that the hacker has updated unc0ver once more, this time to version 3.3.0 beta 7. According to the announcement Tweet, this update resolves several miscellaneous bugs reported by users:
