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.

Pwn20wnd drops unc0ver v3.3.0 beta 4 with Sock Puppet-centric reliability improvements (Update: Pulled)

Pwn20wnd just got done updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 3.3.0 beta 3 this morning, and in an unforeseen turn of events, he has just updated unc0ver again this afternoon to beta 4 with an important reliability fix involving the Sock Puppet exploit for iOS 12.2.

Pwn20wnd announced the updated version of unc0ver just a few moments ago via Twitter:

Pwn20wnd updates unc0ver jailbreak to v3.3.0 beta 3 with bug fixes

Just yesterday, Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak with support for @NedWilliamson’s Sock Puppet exploit, which brought official support for iOS versions 12.1.3-12.2. This afternoon, Pwn20wnd updated unc0ver again, bringing the tool up to version 3.3.0 beta 3.

Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter just this morning, noting that it incorporates several bug fixes:

Pwn20wnd says Cydia works on iOS 13, but Substrate may require minor updates

Just yesterday, hacker and unc0ver jailbreak lead developer Pwn20wnd confirmed that both Cydia and Cydia Substrate would run without any turbulence on iOS 12.2. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the announcement led many to ask if the same would be true about Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 update, which is poised to drop sometime this Fall.

Pwn20wnd appeared to share this same curiosity, and so he deployed Cydia and Cydia Substrate on an emulated and pre-jailbroken installation of the iOS 13 beta to find out. The results of his test were announced on Twitter early this morning:

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Dune, RePower XII, Vartaman, and more

Now that the WWDC 2019-centric iOS 13 excitement has come and gone, the jailbreak community is back to manufacturing jailbreak tweaks to improve the iOS experience on older versions of iOS.

It can be challenging to keep track of everything in the midst of your busy life, and so this roundup serves to talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks that were released in the past week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Assistant+, Incoming Call LivePhoto, Shenmue, and more

With @0ptimo updating the BigBoss repository to be compatible with the Sileo package manager, and teasers coming from all the major players in the jailbreak community as of late, it's a great time to own a pwned handset.

In this roundup, we’ll discuss all of this past week’s jailbreak tweak releases in one convenient place. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in detail and then we’ll outline the rest of them afterward.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Axon, ImageCorrect, InstallProtect12, and more

The jailbreak tweak release schedule has slowed down a little bit since the WWDC 2019 Keynote, presumably because developers are absorbing all the new features to come and pondering about how these ideas can be used to improve existing versions of iOS. That said, we expect that releases will pick up at their normal pace again soon enough.

In this roundup, we’ll discuss all of this past week’s jailbreak tweak releases in one convenient place. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in detail and then we’ll outline the rest of them afterward.

iBSparkes teases Cydia running on the iOS 12.4 beta

Matrix code hacked iPhone.

Each of the latest jailbreak solutions, be it the Electra Team’s Chimera tool or Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool, only support iOS versions 12.0-12.1.2. That said, a teaser shared just this morning by talented security researcher iBSparkes tends to be particularly exciting.

In the Tweet, iBSparkes shares a screenshot of what appears to be the all-too-familiar Cydia package manager running on an iPhone SE (iPhone 8,4) with the iOS 12.4 beta installed:

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Magma Pro, Nanobanners, QuickPrefs, and more

Whether you're taking advantage of the A12(X)-supported Chimera jailbreak by the Electra Team, or the newly-redesigned unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd, chances are you're itching for something new that'll make your jailbroken handset look better than all the rest out there. Fortunately, we're here to help with that.

This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, June 3rd to Sunday, June 9th. As usual, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite from the bunch first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.

Addsource makes adding repositories to Cydia easier

Handsets jailbroken with Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool will have Cydia installed as the default package manager, and with a newly-released free jailbreak tweak dubbed addsource by iOS developers yuosaf01 and 3bod_syr, you can augment the app’s native repository-adding functionality.

With any typical Cydia installation, users will need to enter a repository’s URL manually by tapping on the ‘Add’ button in the app’s Sources tab. This method works, but it tends to be cumbersome and exposes users to an increased likelihood of human error while typing the designated repository URL.
