Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.3 on Wednesday, a move that prevents iPhone and iPad users from downgrading or restoring to this particular version of iOS through iTunes.
The Cupertino-based company regularly stops signing older iOS versions just a couple of weeks after releasing a new software update. Given how Apple just released iOS 11.3.1 a little more than a week ago, this news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to download and install the latest software version on your HomePod using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, so you can enjoy all the newest features on your smart speaker.
Following the release of iOS 11.2.5 last week, Apple has stopped signing the previous three versions of iOS. iOS 11.2, iOS 11.2.1, and iOS 11.2.2 are no longer being signed, preventing users from installing older versions of iOS.
Security researcher Ian Beer made headlines last year after finding and releasing a tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2, which powers jailbreak tools like Electra and LiberiOS, just to name a few. But now there’s a new kernel exploit in town, and it impacts later iterations of iOS.
Citing Apple’s security content web page, Tuesday’s iOS 11.2.5 update patches a kernel-level exploit discovered by security researcher Russ Cox, and it purportedly works on iOS 11.2-11.2.1.
Earlier today, Apple accidentally started signing older firmware versions of iOS, effectively letting people downgrade their devices at will. This was just a temporary hiccup as merely an hour later, Apple closed the signing of all these older iOS versions again.
Update: As suspected, it was just a bug and Apple has once again stopped signing older firmware versions, making it impossible to downgrade. If you were on of the few that was able to downgrade and install an earlier iOS version, you should be able to use that version without any problem.
As if the circumstances surrounding the current jailbreak situation weren’t dire enough already, Apple has stopped signing both 11.1.1, iOS 11.1.2, and tvOS 11.1.
The latest move by the Cupertino-headquartered company makes it impossible to downgrade to firmware versions vulnerable to Ian Beer’s recently-publicized tfp0 exploit until downgrading tools receive support for iOS 11. That said, hopefully everyone had adequate time to prepare their devices beforehand.
If you’ve been following the news lately, then you might’ve caught wind about a particular tfp0 iOS exploit released by security researcher Ian Beer that could potentially aid in the development of an iOS 11 jailbreak.
Many people think the jailbreak is dead, but that doesn't seem to be the case. While a jailbreak tool for iOS 11 hasn't surfaced yet, I wanted to take this opportunity to share why I’m excited about the possibility of an iOS 11 jailbreak.
With a powerful tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 out in the wild, the future looks somewhat bright for an iOS 11 jailbreak. On the other hand, you don’t have long to get your devices on iOS 11.1.2 before Apple stops signing the supported firmware.
Not only has iOS 11.2 been out for some time, but Apple just released iOS 11.2.1 on Wednesday, which means the signing window could be closer than ever to closing.
We’ve been getting all sorts of questions from avid jailbreakers asking when a jailbreak for iOS 11 might drop. While there are no official details about an iOS 11 jailbreak as of now, we’d like to dispel some rumors and quell confusion by putting everything we know into a full post.
Just last week, security researcher Ian Beer apprised the internet about a powerful tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2. Little was known regarding the exploit at the time except that it granted seemingly endless possibilities.
On Monday, Beer once again broke the silence by announcing on Twitter that he had officially released the exploit to the public.
If you’ve been keeping up to date on your jailbreak news recently, then you might already know about the new exploit that could potentially open some doors to an iOS 11 jailbreak (or a semi-jailbreak at the least).
The latest iOS firmware the exploit works with is iOS 11.1.2. Anyone with even the slightest desire of jailbreaking iOS 11 may want to consider putting their device on iOS 11.1.2 as soon as possible before Apple closes the signing window. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how.
