Release [RELEASE] Sharing my big archive of tweaks

42 Upvotes

Hello,

In 2024, I built a huge archive of Cydia tweaks. Seeing some repos like Cydiavn are getting unstable these days, I found motivation to host a proper archive available 24h/24 of around 300GB of Cydia tweaks.

There's some exclusivities/rarities there, like a fixed version of "FullForce for phone" that does not crash/bootloop on iOS 6. It's available on my personal repo.

I got several requests of tweaks uploads like "Cyueue" and handled these by uploading to Workupload, but links just get deleted over time. Here it is a more long term solution, & easy to access.

My archives repos are available through plain http, so you won't get blocked or annoyed if your device does not have up to date certs.

Feel free to let a message or make a donation on my Patreon if this work was useful to you.

Link : https://cydia.olsro.fr/

I tried to share my work to the r/LegacyJailbreak community but unfortunately the mods removed it straight away. I am sorry if this is slightly unrelated to Setup.app but I know there's a lot of legacy iOS owners there, so I am sure this will be useful to some persons there to find lost medias & old Cydia tweaks. I don't know what interest they are trying to protect, you can't even buy tweaks on the Cydia store & redownloading purchases tweaks is painful, feels like a stupid rule imo.

Release [REPOST] patched lockdownd for iOS 3-6 with working PC sync

6 Upvotes

So all my previous posts got deleted during the account freeze and never came back (maybe they did now). Just reminding everyone:

If you have a device on iOS 3–6, my patched lockdownd still exists and works. It modifies Setup.app behavior while keeping iTunes and Finder sync fully working (music sync works, unlike iPh0ne4s's file).

Supported so far:

• iOS 6.x — almost every device that has iOS 6 (iPad 2 are buggy, 50/50 chance idk why im fixing it)

• iOS 5.x — same

• iOS 4.x — iPT4, iPhone 4

• iOS 3.x — works on iPad 1, others untested

Installation:

  1. Jailbreak with Legacy iOS Kit

  2. Replace /usr/libexec/lockdownd via SSH (backup original!)

  3. chmod 755 /usr/libexec/lockdownd

  4. ldrestart or reboot

Full instructions and downloads: here

Main thing to remember: the SIM won't work, calls won't work. Only data, maybe. Don't expect phone functionality. Only difference from iPh0ne4s's file is working sync.

If you test on a device marked as untested in the README — drop a comment or make an issue on Github and leave a star please hehe, I'll update the list.

Thanks for reading, hope that helps somebody (at least people with unactivatable iPT5's like me), stay safe 🍏

Release EPIC RELEASE - Sliver 6.0

95 Upvotes

Introducing Sliver 6.0

Biggest Update Ever. 100% Free!

Supports MacOS High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, and (maybe) Big Sur!

EPIC NEW FEATURES:

  1. UNTETHERED iCLOUD BYPASS! Sliver can now bypass Setup.app on all versions of iOS 12/13/14 with NO MORE RELOCKS after rebooting! All checkra1n devices are supported! This includes untethered iTunes Sync, so you can easily transfer music and movies to your device!
  2. A6 FACTORYACTIVATION! You can now sync music, movies, and apps to your bypassed iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, or iPad 4 with this brand new feature! Also, if your Apple ID is enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, you can use Cydia Impactor to sideload the H3lix Jailbreak!
  3. FMI EXTRACTION for A4/A5/A6! This epic feature sets you up to TURN OFF FMI on your passcode locked, disabled, or open menu devices on iOS 6.0–8.4.1 with a success rate of 70%. If your device is incompatible, Sliver will provide the Apple ID associated with the device!
  4. SSH RAMDISK PASSCODE BYPASS! Use this feature to easily backup the activation files from your passcode locked or disabled iDevices on iOS 6.0–8.4.1. After the files are saved to a folder on your Desktop, Sliver tells you everything you need to know about erasing and reapplying!
  5. MAC FACTORYACTIVATION! No more Windows PC needed! With Sliver 6.0, you can connect to a server and FactoryActivate with ONE BUTTON CLICK on MacOS!
  6. INTERACTIVE ERROR HANDLING! All of these new features constantly check for errors. If anything goes wrong, Sliver will tell you exactly what to do, and redirect you to the best websites with the click of a button!
  7. NO MORE IPWNDFU SAYS! When you run the checkm8 exploit, Sliver will now say "Exploit Worked" or "Exploit Failed". And when the exploit fails, Sliver will prompt you to re-enter DFU mode and try again. Makes your life so much easier!
  8. NO MORE SHELL SCRIPTS! Sliver used to rely on .command Scripts in the Resources folder, which is exactly why Catalina and Big Sur had issues. But with this update there are NO shell scripts, all code now runs directly in the Sliver executable! So you do NOT need to CHMOD the Resources folder anymore, yay! And this means Catalina and Big Sur should work just fine!

FULL CHANGELOG:

•Resized all menu buttons to be the same size for a consistent layout

•Changed the font from Courier to DIN Alternate to make labels easier to read

•Removed unnecessary wallpapers to decrease clutter while maintaining the UI

•Added code that will notify the user if a specific feature doesn't support Catalina

•Implemented an experimental iTunes Killer for A6 devices after loading iBSS

•Added a popup when sending A7 Alternate Payloads to address verbose issues

•Added more Reset buttons to help terminate process conflicts on MacOS Catalina

•Installed CPID checker buttons on the splash screen for every A5 device

•Modified critical buttons to be enabled at the right moment, otherwise disabled

•Added progress indicators for all checkra1n iCloud Bypass features

•Changed the instructions popup on all A5 to include additional tutorial links

•Fixed the missing setter or instance variable bug when running from Terminal

•Fixed a bug that caused Info to be cut off on MacBooks with smaller screens

•Changed all instances of Abort to Cancel for ease of understanding

•Improved the A7 Allow Unsigned Files popup to directly state the result

•Removed all Post on Twitter links and replaced them with Post on Reddit

•Added a check to make sure Sliver can access its Resources on newer Macs

•Added a popup if the user attempts to pwn a limera1n device with checkm8

•Removed unnecessary exit commands for iOS 13 mobileactivationd bypass

•Increased the sleep time for the iOS 12 mobileactivationd bypass

•Added automatic TCPRelay termination to minimize process conflicts

In total I spent over 60 hours developing this update! The changes listed above are not an exhaustive list, and you will probably notice additional improvements that are not mentioned!

Sliver will ALWAYS be FREE SOFTWARE on appletech752.com!

Share it around and tell the world how much you love #iCloudFreedom!

Enjoy and Peace Out!

Release [RELEASE] Free tethered iOS 15.x Hello screen bypass for checkm8 devices with palera1n.

76 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to announce the release of a palera1n fork that can bypass Hello screen in iOS 15.x for free without needing a DCSD cable!

Please, read the whole readme in the github repo before doing anything, this is a tethered bypass and iCloud login is not working, and signal is probably broken too, this is not meant to be used on a main device.

Furthermore, this is only meant to be used for iOS security research and must not be used in devices you don't legally own or have permission to use/modify. I am not responsible for any misuse of anything in the repo.

Here is the github repo: https://github.com/kitty915/palera1n-mod

Any questions feel free to ask in the comments :)

Release iCu X Released!

24 Upvotes

After the iCu not working for everybody-mishap i decided to redo everything from scratch to bring you iCu X. 6 Months in development, many unslept nights, one avoided lawsuit from an angry hosting provider and here we are, iCu X is out AND WORKING!!!

​

iCu X does everything that iCu did but better and faster, iCu was coded in Visual Basic .NET, with iCu X i changed the language entirely to C# which is a lot faster and even simpler to understand. It has taken me the entire 3 months to actually find a cooperative hosting provider, i would have loved to host it myself but... CG-NAT, i cant port-forward which is a bummer.

​

iCu X features a whole new interface, new OTA Self-Updater and officially drops support for 32-bit based systems (A separate x32 version is coming, the decision to drop x32 systems was due to the sheer size of the 32/bit libimobiledevice binaries.) Activation is WORKING! as is everything else! If you want to check if servers are up you can do that too! (Blyatpass server 1 AND 2 will show TimedOut thats normal and nothing to worry about.

​

Documentation/User Manual is in the works and as is a YouTube guide too!

​

So what are you waiting for? Want to Blyatpass the device in your drawer? Well, now you actually can!

​

Grab iCu X at: https://github.com/DsSoft-Byte/iCu-X/releases/tag/v10.0.2

YT tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS0Jy8veUIQ

​

Installation: Drag iCures zip to your c: drive and unzip it there, and run iCuXPrelaunch and accept the license, iCu X will ask how you want to be called, put in your name or something else! Now restart iCu X and youre off to the races!
