Nugget, the no-jailbreak device customization utility based on the SparseRestore exploit for iPhones running iOS 17.0-17.7 and 18.0-18.1 beta 4, as well as partial support for iOS 17.7.1 and 18.1 beta 5 and later, received another update, officially bringing the utility up to version 4.0.1.
Monday was a big day for Apple, not only because the company released major software updates for each of its platforms, but also because they were able to refresh the iMac desktop all-in-one computer with a technical bump and new configuration options, among other things.

Sileo, which is now effectively the dominant package manager app used by the masses for installing and managing tweaks and add-ons on jailbroken devices, received a minor update this week that brought the app up to version 2.5.1.
Nugget, the backup-based hacking utility that makes use of the same SparseRestore exploit that the TrollRestore TrollStore installation method does to allow system customization on iOS 17.0-18.1 beta 4 without a jailbreak, received an update over this past weekend to version 3.0 with what iOS developer LeminLimez calls a “parity update with Nugget Mobile.”
While TrollStore is most commonly known as a perma-signing utility that allows for the permanent installation of sideloadable apps via a CoreTrust exploit, a lesser-known fact is that TrollStore’s powerful CoreTrust exploit offers elevated privileges for your iPhone or iPad’s system. This is what makes TrollStore-centric hacks and add-ons that mimic jailbreak tweak-like functionality possible.
Just last week, iOS developer LeminLimez teased Nugget Mobile, an on-device SparseRestore-based device customization utility for iOS 16.0-18.1 beta 4 that does not require a jailbreak to use. But as of this week, it is officially available to the masses.

This means that everyday users who want to download and use LeminLimez’ projects from GitHub can finally do so again as of now.
It was only a few weeks ago that we first showed you MisakaX, a project by iOS developers @straight_tamago and @Little_34306 that made use of the SparseRestore exploit (the same one used by TrollRestore to install TrollStore on iOS & iPadOS 17.0) to modify iPhone and iPads via system backups.
TrollInstallerX, a TrollStore installation method that supports iPhones and iPads running iOS & iPadOS 14.0-16.6.1, picked up another update Thursday afternoon that brings the utility up to version 1.0.3.
