i remember back in 6th grade around 7 years ago finally being happy downloading cydia from blackra1n after downloading fake ones online, all i remember is the “free wifi” and all those other goofy installs, what was it really used for?

First of all, I’d like to thank zhuowei for the initial experiment done when Apple Silicon macOS was first out. Once I got to WindowServer, I began exploring ways to provide Metal acceleration. I wasted a week trying to make M1 driver working, but it ended up only panicking my phone a lot…

Luckily, I found out iOS simulator provides an interestingly convenient way to do so: streaming Metal via XPC. It only took me 2 days to get it working.

Eventually, I managed to boot somewhat macOS 13.4 natively on my iPhone XS Max on iOS 16.5; keyboard&mouse input is currently done via VNC. After some manual patching, many apps and daemons running (WindowServer, ControlCenter, Dock, and even Xcode 15b8).

This shows how much potential jailbreak can do other than just customizations. If this ends up being a one-click project, it would benefit iPad users a lot. Unfortunately, there are some graphical glitches and simulator’s Metal limitations when doing this way, so it would only work best on M iPads having native GPU drivers.

I have a WIP repository containing patches: https://github.com/khanhduytran0/MacWSBootingGuide (for very technical people only for now)

the animated wallpapers for messages is so sick

Back in 2020 I jailbroke my iPhone 12 and added a tiny “hi” to my lock screen with some tweak.

I removed the jailbreak years ago, but the “hi” never left.

Since then I’ve gone through an iPhone 12, 13, 14 Pro, and now an iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 26.6. Every phone has been completely stock, yet the same tiny “hi” still appears above the home bar regardless of wallpaper.

I’ve restored backups, transferred phones normally, and updated iOS countless times. Nothing gets rid of it.

At this point it feels like some ancient jailbreak artifact has been hitchhiking through my backups for 6 years.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this or know where iOS stores lock screen text that could survive multiple phones and restores?

$1300 and $1600 USD Declined. It’s over🪦

I’ve hunted for days just to find this one listing that satisfies everything I’m looking for, imagine the visceral pain I felt when it powered up on that screen... WTF Apple

Update: Turns out the device was already updated even before the ebay listing was posted https://imgur.com/a/mseRmJH . the seller had disabled auto updates in settings, but the device was plugged in, connected to internet, had an OTA package ready to install, and decided to update itself during midnight

My hardware:
- iPhone SE 2020 A13
- iOS 26.1
- RP2350-USB-A
- Apple Lightning Cable
- M4 Mac mini (Mac OS26.6db1)

Thanks to the exploit, I was able to boot an iOS 13.5 iBoot.
I simply used irecovery -c "reset" to reboot it into iOS.
After the reboot, I did not encounter any issues such as a boot loop or anything else.

Thanks to the developers for making this possible.

I’ll put it on GitHub a bit later and make a separate post once it’s ready

I bought it at a garage sale and it went to this screen when I powered it on. I thought maybe someone here would know

Been on iOS 16.1 since day 1 launch of the 14 Pro Max. It’s been fun.

Unc0ver is released BE SURE TO DELETE OTA UPDATE IN STORAGE FIRST

Im not sure if everyone is lazy or if you guys (Noobs) dont know where to look for info so Ill try to keep it short and simple

​

1. As of now, iOS 12.1.1 beta 3 is still being signed! Dont ask around dont comment over and over. It can be downloaded from HERE
2. AFAIK (as far as I know) there is no one working on 12.1.4 Jailbreak. Stop asking when will a jailbreak be made or updated for it. YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DOWNGRADE
3. If you do not know how to use futurerestore, DONT USE IT! Its not needed to use and ipsw if its STILL SIGNED. Just use the ipsw and itunes
4. Yes there are ways to remove the beta pop up. Since you guys dont search here is the deb to No Beta Alert yes it supports iOS 12
5. There are no major differences between 12.1, 12.1.1 and 12.1.2. Stability and battery drain varies from device to device!
6. THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO "SHOULD I UPDATE?" Once again stability and performance varies. So if you want to loose a jailbreak (if your on a supported iOS) or want to gain a jailbreak (for upcoming support) then YES YOU SHOULD
7. The upcoming jailbreak is SEMI-Tethered! Yes there has been an untethered jailbreak demoed but if im not mistaken there no news on release and it supports iOS 11
8. NO YOU CANNOT UPDATE ON DEVICE. You need Mac or a PC
9. THERE IS NO ETA. ASKING FOR ONE WILL NOT GET YOU ONE

​

PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS first before asking a question thats been answered!

​

There are many guides on future restore, updates and anything you can think of on that thread! JUST SEARCH AND READ!!

​

If in doubt, save blobs! For every firmware every time there is one new. This isnt a new procedure, people have been doing it for ages

​

As always been practiced, stay on the lowest firmware

​
