iOS 12 Jailbreak related information / News

• Pwn20wnd tweeted that he is going to update unc0ver support for all the iDevices including A12. He is just waiting for the TFP0 exploit availability on iOS 12.4.1 devices.




• Pwn20wnd has developed one of the exploits as tfp0 on iOS 12.4.1 to iOS 13.1.3 versions on A12 or A13 devices. So, iOS 12.4.1, iOS 12.4.2 and iOS 12.4.3 versions are compatible with tfp0 exploit and you will be able to jailbreak these versions in future, when Pwn20wnd releases jailbreak IPA using tfp0 exploit. As the Pwn20wnd’s note, it will be Semi Untethered jailbreak.

@Sorrymybad has found the kernel bug and Pwn20wnd has developed it. iOS 13.2 users won’t be able to use this exploit, because Apple fixed this kernel bug on iOS 13.2 version. Pwn20wnd has informed all the iOS 12.4.1, iOS 12.4.2 or iOS 12.4.3 users to stay with the same version, if they really want this jailbreak.





• So far, every jailbreak tools were released targeting iOS versions. Checkm8 is little bit different than others. Checkm8 targets the devices. Not the iOS version. However, Checkm8 is not a jailbreak tool. It is an exploit. This exploit works well on iPhone 4S to iPhone X running any iOS device. So, it means, it can run this exploit on supported devices running iOS 12.4 to iOS 12.4.3 versions.

axi0mX introduced the Checkm8 (Checkmate) exploit and it needs to be converted as jailbreak tool. The main thing is it cannot be unpatched. It will be a permanent jailbreak.





• Jake James, the developer of Rootless JB, has tweeted that Rootless JB updated for iOS 12.4 and still work on progress. He wants to try this on other devices and check the success rate before releasing to the public.





Meanwhile, another developer called as Brandon Plank confirmed that he had released the Rootless Jailbreak for iOS 12.4. Also, he says it works with iOS 12 - iOS 12.2 too. Still curious about this release and any famous jailbreak developer/researcher did not mention about this Rootless JB iOS 12.4 Jailbreak. RootlessJB is an open source project, it seems Brandon Plank went through that.

However, we have tried this new RootlessJB IPA and its works perfectly. Therefore, you can use RootlessJB on iOS 12.4 as well as iOS 12.2 to iOS 12 versions.
