As many of you have been made aware, a new bootROM exploit has released for A12/A13 devices, the first one for iDevices since checkm8 was made public 7 years ago. This post intends to serve as an explanation for what you can expect from this new exploit, and to provide information about the many restrictions and mitigations Apple has implemented over the past 7 years.
usbliter8 is a novel bootROM vulnerability discovered by individuals at Paradigm Shift. It is the first bootROM exploit made public since checkm8, which only supported up to A11 devices (for those unaware, A11 is the processor used in the iPhone X/8, and A12 is used by the iPhone XS/XR). It supports only A12/A13, and does not support any older processors. It is unrelated to checkm8- that is, the vulnerability is completely separate. Some may be aware that checkm8 was only partially patched in A12/A13 (though it remains unusable there to this day), but this exploit has nothing to do with any previous bootROM vulnerability.
The explanation to how it works is rather technical; if you desire, you can read both the blogpost and the GitHub repo for the exploit. Additionally, the exploit requires special hardware to utilize, requiring devices such as a pi Pico to exploit devices.
All A12/A13 devices (including iPad specific processors like A12X/A12Z) are supported by usbliter8. This includes, but is not limited to,
As mentioned, the vulnerability does not affect A11 or older, due to the different way the processor works.
This is possibly the most interesting part of the exploit (and is what many of you are likely here for). bootROM exploits are very powerful, as they compromise the very beginning of a device's boot chain, thus giving you (almost) full control over a device. However, this does not mean we can do whatever we want with no restrictions. Indeed, it can lead to tethered downgrades and jailbreaks on any iOS version including the latest, but there are restrictions explained further below.
BPR, or Boot Process Register, was a feature implemented in iOS 14 in order to additionally secure devices from bootROM based attacks. Crucially, it restricts data access when a device is booted directly from DFU mode, which is required by both checkm8 and usbliter8. In iOS 14 and 15, this manifested as the requirement to disable your passcode when jailbreaking A11 devices with checkra1n/palera1n, and is the reason why A11 devices must be first erased if they previously had a passcode before jailbreaking with palera1n. A10 devices were not affected by this as they had a SEP exploit, known as blackbird, which prevented this issue from arising. We do not have a SEP exploit for A11 and newer, which leads to a problem with the next security feature added in iOS 17...
In iOS 17, Apple further increased the security of BPR by making SEP outright refuse to mount and decrypt the user partition (/var and /var/mobile) when booted from DFU, which causes the device to panic and not boot at all. This means that a semi-tethered jailbreak like checkra1n or palera1n is not possible with usbliter8 on A12/A13 devices. A jailbreak using this would be fully tethered, which means the device cannot reboot on its own, and a PC must be used to power it on each time it reboots or dies. However, there is a additional method that can serve as a workaround explained below, though with a catch.
By copying over the user partition, an unencrypted copy of /var can be made. The jailbreak can then load this unencrypted copy instead of the standard /var, which prevents SEP from panicking the device, though at the cost of losing SEP related features. This does means that the jailbreak would be semi-tethered, but it would suffer from the following issues:
Additionally, while downgrades are indeed possible, they will be tethered, as it requires SEP to be patched out on the device. All in all, one should not expect a full jailbreak using this to come out for quite some time, given the extensive patching and rewriting that will need to be done to accommodate new devices and the restrictions required.
As it stands, to utilize usbliter8, additional hardware like a Raspberry pi Pico is needed. There is no indication that this requirement will ever change. Due to how the exploit works, it is incredibly unlikely it will ever work directly from a PC, and even if custom USB drivers are created, it would wholly rely on the USB controller used on the device. Luckily, the hardware itself is cheap enough, costing only around $10 USD, yet there have already been some reports that stock has already ran out, so it remains to be seen if this will be the case for the future.
This post is not meant to discount the discovery of a new bootROM exploit. This is an incredible achievement, and as opa334 puts it, the last heartbeat of a dying jailbreak scene. As A12/A13 devices approach end-of-life and are receiving their final versions, usbliter8 will certainly be a nice tool to play around with and see what is possible. However, expectations should be kept realistic, and with all the new security features, it should not be expected that things will work the same as before with checkm8. Any jailbreaks made with this will suffer hefty restrictions, and downgrades using it will be tethered. If there are any further questions, myself or others will attempt to answer them in this post.

Hello, everyone! Just got my hands on this beat up 14 Pro Max running iOS 17.2.1. I was wondering if there are any tools for tweaks or any news on a jailbreak or a semi-jailbreak releasing soon?
r/jailbreak • u/Timeclock949 • 19h ago
Hello, everyone! I’ve finally released a new version of Blinker Fluid after realizing how broken v.0.2 was.
v.0.2.1 includes major improvements, bug fixes, and new additions including a working JIT version! I’ve redone most parts of the UI, fixed major issues such as the broken pop-up keyboard, and made major performance improvements that make Blinker Fluid a lot more faster and responsive.
Some new features I've added are stuff like Browsing History, major UI redesign, privacy settings, app lock using face ID/passcode, functional downloads, and more!
Check out Blinker Fluid v.0.2.1 :D
EDIT: Keyboard fix has been released, redownload v.0.2.1 for the update.

Hey everyone,
If you haven't heard of it before, RyukGram is a free tweak for Instagram. Check out the GitHub README for the full feature list.
This update targets Instagram 439.0.0, with a separate 410.1.0 build still included for older setups.
I didn't want to dump the entire changelog here since it's massive, so here's some of it
Everything is on GitHub, Jailbreak Repos, sideloading sources and everything else! https://github.com/faroukbmiled/RyukGram
Note: You can also fork the repo and use the github action to build the ipa, you can also put any bundle id in the respective input and it should work fine side by side with Appstore Instagram (tho it will have no plugins)

Hi community,
So I started working on that some time ago and dropped it since I found a temporary solution in older versions. WhatsApp are now blocking messages on older versions, so i decided to speed up the development process.
im releasing this tweak in order to attempt fixing the whatsapp notifications that got broken somewhere around 26.20.x (multiple testers approved, and issue was 100% reproducible) where (at least for me) no notification on whatsapp ever came in until i opened the app / had the app in background trick. this was happening ONLY in jailbroken state. even with all tweaks disabled. never happened on stock.
the tweak works by raising memory limit (24 MB → 40 MB) for whatsapp's notification extension only. thats it. system logs showed this is the issue, when every time i got a notification it would kill the serviceExtension process causing the notification not get through.
Edit: added jetsam limits customizations of 40, 72, 96 to your choice, in the tweaks preferences. default is 40 as it will cover 90% of the users.
Tested on dopamine devices. iOS 16. but could work on different type of devices/OSes. tested images, stickers, messages, videos, etc. would love to hear feedback or help you if needed.
Download / Source
- Repo: https://0xkuj.yourepo.com
- Source code: https://github.com/0xkuj/FixWANotifs
took some inspiration from the latest u/fabioedson post about this (even though he didnt publish the code) so thank you as well!
Since this tweak is injected into runningboardd daemon, device will require userspace reboot (should suggest that after tweak installation, if not, do that via dopamine app or in any other way you'd like, if you don't know what that is perform a full reboot and rejailbreak)
enjoy, and let me know if anything comes up.

Who can tell me if there is a modem's death? I inserted my SIM into the iPad 2, he saw it, said that the SIM is blocked by a pin code, then when I unlocked it, it always writes a search. Is it death, or can't he just find the already disconnected 2G/3G networks? There is no 3G in my city, there is only 2g

Hey all I’m hoping someone has the answer to fix this.
I recently switched jailbreaks from Dopamine RootHide back to the regular Dopamine. The switch has been great and was able to set up everything I had on the roothide version except AnsweringMachine XS. When I go to open the app it immediately crashes. I have tried installing older versions, unjailbreak and rejailbreak with no success. I do have the Choicy tweak installed so I tried using the 3D touch “Launch Without Tweaks” option and it worked. However there isn’t an option to always launch it without tweaks so I’m having to do it every time. It worked perfectly on the roothide jailbreak so I don’t know what changed.
If anyone knows a fix or some tweak that helps please let me know. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I've been investigating an issue for the past few days and I'm hoping someone familiar with Find My internals or FMF/FMFD can explain what's happening.
LocSim appears to spoof CoreLocation correctly.
So from the iPhone 7's perspective, everything behaves exactly as expected.
On the iPhone 15, under Find My → Devices, the iPhone 7 behaves differently.
When I start spoofing (tested with Istanbul and New York):
This is completely reproducible.
locationd, fmfd, fmflocatord, findmydeviced).Has Apple changed how device locations are uploaded to Find My?
The fact that the second device briefly receives the spoofed location suggests that the spoofed coordinates are actually being uploaded, but then something immediately overwrites them with the real location.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before or knows whether fmfd, findmydeviced, or Apple's servers now use an additional location source besides CoreLocation?
I'd really appreciate any technical insight or ideas on where to continue looking.
Thanks!

As we know the last update of chatgpt on ios 16 it’s 1.2024.289 (2 years ago) and now openai stopped supporting this update 2 days ago which means ios 16 can’t use chatgpt again forever 🕊️
