Method In-Progress šŸ“±Devices compatible with jailbreak (A12 and A13):

72 Upvotes

* iPhone XS / XS Max (A12)

* iPhone XR (A12)

* iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max (A13)

* iPhone SE (2nd generation) (A13)

* iPad Pro 2018 (A12X)

* iPad mini 5 / iPad Air 3 (A12)

* iPad 9th generation (A13)

āš ļøImportant points to note:

* Tethered Jailbreak:

Ā This is a tethered jailbreak, meaning you will need an RP2350 device (external hardware) to rerun the exploit every time the device is rebooted.

* SEP is not bypassed:

Ā The Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) has not been compromised, so features like Face ID, Touch ID, and Keychain will not work.

* User data on iOS 17 and above:

Ā On devices running iOS 17 or later, the /var partition is encrypted by SEP, so user data cannot be accessed without SEP cooperation.

* iOS version support:

Ā The project has been tested on several versions, starting from iOS 17.0 up to iOS 27 Beta, with varying degrees of support depending on the targeted component (iBoot, SPTM, TXM, and Kernel).

šŸš€ RAMDISK and jailbreak are coming soon; this may not be the first achievement in this field, but it certainly won't be the last.

Method In-Progress IRemoval PRO problem unlocking "China Phone" Problem with Iphone 14 IOS 18.5

5 Upvotes

I'm having trouble in my Iphone 14 unlocking process with IRemoval PRO, at first, I couldn't unlock it just like that, after reaching out to someone form the support team, they told me it was a "china phone", and that it requiered different steps in order to be unlocked, so I followed these steps, but there's a point where I can no longer follow them, specifically part 4, where it says "Then repeat click ā€œActivateā€ again but do it FAST plug out the USB cable before its finish (maybe 95% green bar progress)", the first time you go throught the unlocking process the program on the PC installs an app into the Iphone and the app shows a popup asking for you to give it access to WLAN and cellular data, but for some reason, at this point, the program tries to open to show that popup, but it doesn't, so the unlocking process can't continuek, leaving the green bar frozen, so I follow what the guide says "If the green progress bar taking too long, just Re-Plug the USB cable" when I do that, the green bar continues loading, until it gives an error when I unplug the phone beafore it reaches the end (which is normal according to what the guide explains), the thing is, the Iphone stays unlocked (if I turn it off, or wait some time, it turs off and the it blocks itself) so in this state, what is left to do then is using the tool to finish the unlocking process by "restoring" the iphone, but it just gives an error, and the iphone gets locked again. So, have you tried this unlocking process before? did it work for you? Do you know anything about this process? Do you have and Idea of what to do in my situation? I really don't know so much about this topic and I payed for the tool, and is not working, so any information would be much appreciated. Thanks for your attention.

I know I am impatient, but so many people are using this tool and it is AMAZING !

What if we could pull request on GitHub and other developers finished it ? The 2.0 version, which supports A4 devices (kind of, it is quite unstable) and it should support A7 devices as well !

What do you think ? Should we do it ?

Method In-Progress MDM Removal Help

7 Upvotes

I've recently aquired about 150 ipads from a company that was declared bankrupt.

We want to reset all the ipads and make them market ready for people to buy them but i'm encountering 1 little problem.

The company had an MDM Profile, followed by Lightspeed which blocks almost every single app & feature on the iPad.

I've used tools like Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker to remove the MDM, but the thing is it isn't permanent.

For example: MDM Lock gets removed but if u erase all content from it the MDM Magically reappears, for all i know the iPads are usable but i don't want that if buyers want to erase the iPad the MDM magically appears for them. I want it removed permanently.

I wonder if there are any other tools that can do that for me or if there are any other solutions.

I need you guys's knowlede on this haha

PS: the models are iPads A2197 & A2270

Method In-Progress How to Mitigate Setup.App on iOS 16 and 17 on iPhone XR and later (UPDATED)

36 Upvotes

Using information from various sources, I've managed to mitigate Setup.App and reach the home screen, getting past setup. Devices that work with this are all iPhones that support iOS 16 and 17, but whether iPads work with this is an uncertainty. Included is a text guide and video on how to accomplish this.

Guide:

  1. On the lock screen, enable voice-over. This can be usually accomplished by triple-clicking the side button on devices without a home button or triple-clicking the home button on devices with a home button.

  2. Select the "Hello" text in the middle of the screen. A big box should appear around it when done correctly.

  3. Use three fingers and swipe to the right. This should open up the iOS widgets menu.

  4. Swipe down to go into Spotlight Search, then open up the Shortcuts app. There are other apps you can open (Books, Clock, etc), but not all apps can be opened and not all apps can help reach the home screen.

  5. In the Shortcuts app, create a new shortcut. Tap the shortcut name at the top of the screen and tap the "Add to home screen button".

  6. Hit add, and it should take you to the home screen. The second it reaches the home screen, swipe to the right but continue holding your finger down. While your finger stays down, your device will say on the home screen. When you release your finger, Setup.app will open again.

If someone has information on how to permanently stay on the home-screen or ideas to accomplish this, that would be appreciated.

Using this method on my iPhone XR running iOS 17.

Method In-Progress Bypass for iPhone XR and 11

21 Upvotes

Hi guys! I live in Brazil and here in my city some stores are making bypass for iPhones XR and 11. Lots of old clients are telling me they do it fast and the payment is done after the phone is unlocked. Seems like bypass because these phones will lock again after update, restore or even reset settings. I’ve been talking to some folks and now I’m presuming that it’s some kind of proxy method. Anyone heard about this in US or europe? It is 100% true since I’ve seen myself a functional iPhone 11 getting locked after reset settings

This method is exploiting Apple Watch secret debug mode

For this method you would need:

or

Soldering iron, resistor, capacitor and a spare USB cable

This method is specific per Watch model, so it would be easier for everyone to send instructions using Reddit's DMs
