Many jailbreakers and non-jailbreakers alike are familiar with the TrollStore perma-signing utility, which utilizes a CoreTrust exploit in iOS & iPadOS 14.0-16.6.1 and 17.0 to permanently install .ipa files as System apps with elevated permissions.
If you have an arm64e device (iPhone XR or newer) on iOS or iPadOS 15.0-16.5.1, then the rootless Dopamine jailbreak will probably be your first choice for jailbreaking. It’s by far the most ubiquitous jailbreak for those device and firmware options available.
It seems to be a big day for TrollStore. Not only did we witness the first public release of TrollStore Lite early Monday morning, but just this evening, TrollStore co-developer @alfiecg_dev took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the much-anticipated launch of a TrollStore installation method that supports iOS & iPadOS 17.0.
Just over a week ago, we teased an AppSync-based TrollStore Lite for jailbroken devices that developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) said would be coming soon with a plethora of benefits over using the traditional TrollStore perma-signing utility. As of today, the day has finally come for such a project to be released.
Every week, the iDB team delivers the latest breaking news about iPhone and iPad hacks and jailbreak tweaks. It runs in our blood, and it has for a very long time.
It was only a few days ago that we showed you a really neat AI-based jailbreak tweak called Write Now that used artificial intelligence to improve written bodies of text that you’ve typed on your device.
Jailbreak tweaks aren’t always utilitarian or specifically made for a purpose. Sometimes they’re designed by developers, tongue-in-cheek, because those developers want to incite laughter among iPhone owners or get more people talking about jailbreaking.
On notched iPhones, such as the iPhone X and newer, holding down on the sleep/wake button invokes the Siri voice assistant. Consequently, users of these devices need to perform button trickery (volume up, volume down, then press and hold sleep/wake) to summon the power menu.
The things you can do with Artificial Intelligence (AI) these days is incredible, and we have a feeling that it’s only going to keep getting better as time marches on. But if you’re donning a jailbroken iPhone or iPad and you find AI to be especially thrilling or useful, then you might take an interest in a newly released jailbreak tweak called Write Now by iOS developers 82flex and launchctl.
The Lock Screen is home to the passcode entry interface, which you as the iPhone or iPad user will generally only ever see when your Face ID/Touch ID authentication fails, or when you fully reboot your device. While there are other instances when the passcode entry interface may appear, they’re a lot less frequent than the aforementioned.
Because hacking and jailbreaking iPhones and iPads is a major part of what we cover here at iDB, the news pipeline moves fast day by day, and it can be easy to miss something important if you’re interested in this space.
The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap for TrollStore received a new beta update early Thursday morning, officially bringing it up to version 1.2.4 beta.
