    iOS Jailbreak [Discussion] Should I Update? Megathread (#2)


    [Discussion] Should I Update? Megathread (#2)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:53 AM PST

    A lot of news came out this week, so I'm updating my "Should I Update" post.


    What Version?

    If you are on 12.0, 12.0.1, 12.1, Up to you if you want to risk losing your lower firmware.

    If you are on 12.1.1 - 12.1.2, DO NOT UPDATE (Read Below)

    If you already are on 12.1.3 or 12.2 Beta - DOWNGRADE

    If you are on iOS 11.4 - 11.4.1, A jailbreak just came out for you guys. Up to you if you want to risk that for an iOS 12 jailbreak

    If you are jailbroken on iOS 11.0-11.3.1, New/more reliable exploits came out this week for you guys. Up to you if you want to risk that for an iOS 12 jailbreak

    If you are on iOS 10 or below, it's up to you if you want to risk your jailbreak but gain app support/new features


    What We Know:

    We know the released exploit works up to 12.1.2

    As far as device support goes, it works on the A12 chip which means iPhone(s) Xs, Xs Max, and Xr. However, on the Security Update page for iOS 12.1.3 it says:

    Available for: iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later, and iPod touch 6th generation


    For those thinking about upgrading to 12.1.2, keep this in mind. There are some bugs on 12.1.2 that affects a small number of users but are bad enough to make you consider going to 12.1.1 instead.


    The Facetime eavesdrop bug affects iOS 12.1-12.1.3, a tweak can fix this, however,

    1. It won't be easy to make

    2. It would only help you when jailbroken

    Right now, Group Facetime is disabled on Apple's Servers. iOS 12.1.4 will come out later this week to fix the bug. When that update is out, Apple may enable Group Facetime again for iOS 12.1 and up.


    FAQS

    How do I upgrade/downgrade?

    Downgrade

    Upgrade

    As of now, if you are using the lastest macOS Beta, YOU CAN NOT UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE MANUALLY VIA ITUNES

    Where can I download the IPSW? From ipsw.me

    How long do I have to decide? Nobody knows when Apple will close the signing window.

    What are the benefits up updating to 12.1.1 or 12.1.2 if I'm on 12.0-12.0.1? Here is a detailed changelog of bug fixes and features.

    Why are there 2 versions of iOS 12.1.2? There was a bug in the first version which prompted Apple to push a newer version. If you upgrade to iOS 12.1.2, go with the newer one.

    Future Restore: Read this comment and ask u/Samg_is_a_Ninja your questions as he is knowledgable on this stuff. (Sorry for the incoming spam, Sam)

    Apple Watch Support? If you plan on getting an Apple Watch with watchOS 5, look for compatibility between iOS versions here.

    Apple Smart Battery Case: The new Smart Battery Case from Apple works on the iPhone X on iOS 12.1.2. BUT it does not work properly as per EverythingApplePro. This was fixed in 12.1.3

    AirPods 2 Code in iOS 12.2 Beta show support for Airpods 2. This means it might not work properly on 12.1.2 and below.

    Wen ETA? iOS 12 still needs a lot of work done to make a jailbreak happen. These things need time. Join or discord server to be notified about releases. You can find the link here

    This post was made to give you all the facts to let you make an educated decision.

    DONT FORGET TO SAVE BLOBS FOR ALL SIGNED FIRMWARES

    If any info is missing, feel free to let me know!

    [Tutorial] [Update] Futurerestore 101 and iRestore update

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 04:31 PM PST

    Hello, on my last post I received an amazing amount of support and feedback (and silver, thanks to whoever did that). I got many questions asking how to use the custom SEP and baseband as well as some other questions, so I'll write a quick tutorial for that. iRestore update at end of post.

    Futurerestore 101

    Q: How do I get the SEP or baseband files I need?

    A: First, you must download the IPSW file for your desired version. Once you have done that, change the file extension to .zip instead of .ipsw. You can now unzip it and look through the files. To get the baseband file, navigate to the Firmware folder. There will be two files ending in .bbfw. Choose the one for your device and save it for later. For SEP, you must navigate to Firmware/all_flash and there will be files called sep-firmware.nXXX.RELEASE.im4p. Save the one for your device.

    Q: Where do I get the build manifest files?

    A: They are also contained in the IPSW. Once you have unzipped it, there will be a file called BuildManifest.plist. This is the file you want.

    Q: What is "No Baseband"?

    A: Some older devices don't have baseband in their OS. If you are not using one of those devices, do not use this option.

    Q: What do the latest SEP and baseband do?

    A: They are currently broken, and may cause a non working restore. They are supposed to get the most recent version.

    iRestore update

    So someone else released a python version of a futurerestore GUI, I'm not sure how it works, so please don't ask me about it.

    Changelog:

    • Added help option to briefly describe each item.

    • Now downloads futurerestore at runtime from s0uthwest's github to avoid license issues.

    • Added option for no baseband (for older devices that don't have it).

    • Added option for selecting SEP/baseband manifest.

    • Enabled --latest-sep and --latest-baseband options, I'm not sure if they work or not. Don't use them if you don't know what you're doing.

    • Added option for debug, update, and wait flags.

    • Debug: Create a log after restore finishes.

    • Update: Update instead of restoring to new version.

    • Wait: Use nonce-collision to get the right nonce.

    [Discussion] The AppStore outages isn’t due to JB! *It seems*

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 05:11 PM PST

    My only source , but after reading multiple post here on reddit and on Twitter this tweet seems to hold weight. So far it's only been affecting certain devices and iOS firmware's. Seems to just be an Apple unreported outage as stated

    Affected IOS's 11.0 - 11.2.x

    If you need to download apps use Apple Configurator 2 or iMazing

    [Discussion] App Store connection issues megathread!

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 04:36 PM PST

    If you're experiencing connection issues, please state when it started, and your iOS version and device model. Unless it's in your flair.

    Edit 1: I was able to connect (but not do much else) by setting my date back to the 29th. Please try it and report what works!

    Edit 3: It seems to be affecting both jailbroken and non-jailbroken users on iOS 11, but not everyone on iOS 11.

    [Tip] You can update and download apps even if your AppStore won’t load by using a handy program called iMazing.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:14 PM PST

    iMazing has an app manager feature and I just used it to update 6 apps successfully on my iPhone SE iOS 11.2.1 with unable to connect AppStore.

    [Request] Houdini-like Customization for iOS 12

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:21 PM PST

    With the recent releases of the screen resolution changer and notification badge color changer, it appears it is fairly simple with the Osiris jailbreak to modify some system files. Could a Houdini-style tool with multiple tweaks be developed? This would be very fun if a jailbreak is going to be weeks out.

    [News] Electra 1.2.7 worked to jailbreak iPhone 5S iOS 11.4.1

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 06:41 PM PST

    [News] Electra 1.2.7 worked to jailbreak iPhone 5S iOS 11.4.1

    Was able to successfully jailbreak one of my 5S on iOS 11.4.1 with Electra1141-1.2.7.ipa.

    It was not that easy,

    Needed lot of attempts. It installed Cydia but respring failed.

    Again, lot of attempts to get final successful respring .

    This news is to just give confirmation for those on A7 devices with Electra.

    thanks to Electra team & also special thanks to tihmstar

    [Discussion] Please A9 - A11 device, for now you are no longer able to use Futurerestore to restore unsigned iOS 11.0 - 11.4.1 even with blobs and NonceSet tools!

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:51 AM PST

    Why ? WHY ?

    Because latest signed iOS 12.1.1 - 12.1.3 SEP IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO ALL iOS 11.0 - 11.4.1 (and 10.x below) ON A9 - A11 DEVICE which is:

    • iPhone 6s/6s+

    • iPhone SE

    • iPhone 7/7+

    • iPhone 8/8+

    • iPhone X

    • iPad 5/6

    • iPad Pro Series


    FAQ's

    Q1: Ah but i only loose the TouchID / FaceID / Home Button if i use incompatible SEP right ?

    Meh the whole restore process will failed too if you use incompatible SEP. So don't ever try this or you will restore to latest firmware. It's not about loosing the TouchID / FaceID / hardware problem, it's about SEP(OS) can't loaded properly if you use incompatible SEP firmware (iBoot will reject device to boot Normal mode?). So your device WILL STUCK ON RECOVERY MODE (and it will stuck on BOOTLOOP if you exit the Recovery Mode), then restore to the latest firmware through iTunes will bring back normal your device.

    Q2: SO WHAT BLOBS VERSION CAN I USE FOR FUTURERESTORING ?

    For now (A7/A8 and) A9 - A12 device later, ONLY CAN USE iOS 12.x BLOBS FOR RESTORING THROUGH FUTURERESTORE. Why ? Because latest signed iOS 12.1.1 - 12.1.3 SEP IS COMPATIBLE TO ALL UNSIGNED iOS 12.x (INCLUDING BETA FIRMWARE) ON ALL A7 - A12 DEVICE. For example: you use NonceReboot12xx to downgrade your A9 - A12 device from iOS 12.1.2 to unsigned 12.0 or 12.0.1 to avoid FaceTime bug, and so on and so forth. Make sure you use the latest Futurerestore s0uthwest fork, because it's up to date and supported all device (including FaceID's device).

    Q3: So what device can able to restore unsigned iOS 11.x ?

    ONLY A7 - A8 Device are still able to restore unsigned iOS 11.3 - 11.4.1 with blobs and need jailbreak or NonceSet tools of course, which is:

    • iPhone 5s/6/6+

    • iPad Air 1/2

    • iPad Mini 2/3/4

    • iPod 6th Gen

    Why ? Because latest signed iOS 12.1.1 - 12.1.3 SEP is still compatible to iOS 11.3 - 11.4.1 on A7 - A8 device, but isn't compatible on A9 - A11 device. So IF NonceReboot12xx has been updated for 4K (A7 - A8) device and your device is still on iOS 12.1.2 below + had iOS 11.3 - 11.4.1 blobs saved, then you are still able to downgrade your device from 12.x to 11.3 - 11.4.1 by using iOS 12.1.1 - 12.1.3 SEP. A7 - A8 Device only.

    Q4: HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE THAT iOS 12.x SEP IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO ALL IOS 11.0 - 11.4.1 (AND 10.x BELOW) ON A9 - A11 DEVICE ?

    The latest one with latest futurerestore you can check here1 or here2 or here3 and here4. More ? Still don't believe me ? You can try your self and see the result.

    Q5: What Futurerestore ? What SEP ? What blobs ?

    Please search this subs, there's a plenty thread that discuss about those things.

    Q6: Do you think iOS 12.x will get jailbreak ? Can i jailbreak iOS 12.x on my device ? Should I Update to iOS 12.x ? What tools ? etc!

    Please, read the disclaimer in the right bottom corner of this page. Dilemma ? See this thread.


    This is NOT jailbreak ya, this is about manipulating your iOS version to go from one unsigned iOS to another. That's it, i hope this made things a bit bit bit more clear about SEP's thing.

    [Question] Best resources for iOS kernel research?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 11:04 PM PST

    I'm a security-focused IT undergrad. Currently, I'm beginning to teach myself C and have a lot of interest in low-level security and the XNU kernel. What are the best resources to begin learning the ins and outs of XNU and the best practices for reverse engineering and exploiting iOS? Obviously, I'm well aware that kernel research and OS development in general are some of the more complex topics in computer science. Everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks.

    [Question] How did Luca Todesco get so proficient at iOS security at such a young age?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 05:20 AM PST

    I've been looking more into jailbreaking and reverse engineering and I find it pretty exciting and challenging (I come from a background with a Computer Science degree).

    I'm amazed at how Luca Todesco knows so much at such a young age (I know he's early 20s now but he was doing security stuff before then).

    Are there any blog posts/write ups by him that explain/suggest how he got to the level that he did by his age? Even with hard work, the sheer amount of time it would take him to learn the ins and outs of OS architecture, etc, is impressive. I'm also looking for tips myself.

    Thanks for any helpful suggestions/guides in the right direction.

    [Request] Updated Noncesetter for iOS 12

    Posted: 31 Jan 2019 02:08 PM PST

    The one that was recently updated and is out currently doesn't support A7/A8 devices, which are the only devices that can restore to iOS 11. But, since the new exploits have been released (Ian Beer and others), can we please have this updated so people may future restore down to iOS 11.3.1. If this is released, I will be able to jailbreak my iPhone 6 on iOS 11.3.1, and many other people will be able to too if they made the leap to iOS 12 and still have blobs.

    Edit: I am not way demanding that the developer do this now or anything for me. This is more of a suggestion and something that would be greatly appreciated if someone were to do it.
