H3lix jailbreak released (10.x;A6) – iPhone 5/5C and iPad 4 Jailbroken

December 26th, 2017, 14:37 Posted By: wraggster

Those of you who own iPhone 5/5C and iPad 4 devices will be happy to hear that H3lix jailbreak (10.x;A6) has been released, heres some notes:

H3lix is a jailbreak for all versions of iOS 10 (including iOS 10.3.3) for 32-bit (Apple A6 hardware in this case) iDevices. This means that your 32-bit Apple A6 devices are jailbroken for life so you needn’t worry again about losing your jailbreak by messing something up or sheer bad luck. H3lix jailbreak supports the following devices:

• All models of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C
• All models of the iPad 4
• This jailbreak does not support 64-bit devices (Apple A7 and newer) so don’t beg tihmstar and s1guza about them. That being said, the v0rtex exploit works on all devices running iOS 10.x and some devs are working on supporting 64-bit devices running iOS 10.3.x!

Ian Beer’s iOS 11.1.2 exploit released and v0rtex exploit (=>iOS 10.3.3)

December 17th, 2017, 23:27 Posted By: wraggster

Those of you who jailbreak their Apple iPhones, iMacs and iPads will love this news, heres the info:

Ian Beer tweeted on his newly-created Twitter account that he had an exploit for iOS 11.1.2 (which was patched on iOS 11.2) that granted the user tfp0 access. Tfp0 (task at pid 0) is said to be about 80% of a jailbreak as it gives the user the ability to run code with kernel privileges (the highest privilege code can be run at).
Now, Ian Beer released his exploit to the public so that other talented developers could develop it further so that a full jailbreak or some type of hack becomes available for the general public. Lately, Jonathan Levin (@Morpehus______) seems to have become quite interested in exploiting iOS 11.1.2 so maybe he’s on to something! He’s also mentioned that the Apple TV has a good chance of getting pwned as he wishes to update LiberTV to work on tvOS 11.x since Ian Beer’s exploit works on tvOS 11.x (versions based on iOS 11.1.2 or lower) as well! If you want a jailbreak, you should really downgrade to iOS 11.1.2 if you’re on iOS 11.2.


Ian Beer’s bug report (+ exploit download link if you think you can get it to work): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-...ail?id=1417#c3
Tweet about S1guza’s exploit working on the iPhone 7 (A10): https://twitter.com/s1guza/status/940075084353380354
Tweet about tihmstar getting v0rtex to work on 32-bit (A6) devices: https://twitter.com/tihmstar/status/940751131709292545
Instructions to downgrade to iOS 11.1.2 from iOS 11.2 without restoring: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/7hqyyh/upcoming_ios_1112_tfp0_exploit_by_ian_beee

IOS Jailbreak News iOS 10.3.3 and 11.1.2 hacks on the Horizon

December 10th, 2017, 22:36 Posted By: wraggster

Been a long time since ive seen news of IOS jailbreaks but Houdini is back on the scene:

He seems to have found an exploit that works on (all?) iOS devices that are on iOS 11.1.2 or lower. The exploit allows code to be run with kernel privilages so it has the highest privilages possible. Ian Beer plans to release his work on the tfp0 (task at pid 0) exploit which according to Redditors is about 80% of a jailbreak. This means that with some work from other people, a full jailbreak on iOS 11.1.2 may land soon! Just don’t update to iOS 11.2 if you want a jailbreak, if you’re on 11.2, you may downgrade without restoring by reading the instructions in the link below!

iOS 10.3.3 (included) and lower exploit by Siguza

Siguza, who had a huge part in getting us Phoenix (iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak for A5/A6 devices) has released his work on the v0rtex exploit.

His current work gets code to run with root permisisons on all versions of iOS lower than 10.3.3 (included). Apparently, this exploit only works on A7-A9 devices but with some work, it could be made to work on 32-bit (Apple A6) devices too. According to some Redditors, this can be considered as 60% of a jailbreak because more work needs to be done (such as tfp0) but there’s still hope.
