What is Jailbreak and how to install or remove jailbreak on iPhone (iOS). We perform jailbreaking on various Apple gadgets Using Redsn0w

Jailbreak is such a familiar unfamiliar word, and so much is said about it, but it is not entirely clear what it is. For many, this term is associated with hacking, pirated content and the obligatory damage to a smartphone. Some people shy away from this word as if it were leprosy. Yeah, well, it’s not worth it...

After all, there is nothing scary in this procedure - it’s just an official hack operating system iPhone, allowing the user to return the wings that were so cruelly clipped by Apple developers. And the question of the sinfulness of jailbreaking an iPhone can be safely left for forum verbiage.

What is jailbreak? Jailbreak, also known as “jail”, is an official procedure that opens free access to file system on Apple devices, and thus expanding their capabilities. "Official" does not mean that Apple personally initiated this proposal, but, in any case, on legislative level she can't stop it. All she can do is threaten freedom-loving users with the absence of technical support and warranty repairs, but even then, according to the laws of the Russian Federation, in the event of a breakdown, not through the fault of the client, the smartphone is required to be repaired under warranty. So the intimidation is purely symbolic.

Moreover, it is absolutely not difficult to roll back this procedure, returning virginity to your sensory pet. In the warranty service, everything will look as if there was no Jell-O and along with it tons of pirated content.

There are two types of jela - tied and untethered. It is better not to consider the first one at all. The fact is that a linked phone only works for the duration of one session, i.e. after turning it off, it goes away, and then it needs to be done again. Moreover, the system begins to completely lose self-control. And after turning it on, it either does not start at all, or only works partially - some applications are “silent”. But it comes out almost on par with the new version of iOS.

But it is better to wait for the release of an untethered jailbreak. The name speaks for itself - it is not tied to a session and gives a more sustainable result, working seven days a week. And it does not cause problems in the system. Usually.

Pros and cons of jailbreaking

Well, what exactly is this “prison escape” for and how much do they pay for it? Not at all, the main thing is to erase traces of the crime in a timely manner. Okay, it’s not good to cheat, and there are disadvantages, so after weighing all the pros and cons, the user himself will make an informed decision.

So, why do you need jailbreak:

1 Pirate, she is the one, the one and only! After the escape, everything is possible - all the illegal software is at your disposal, especially if you install the AppSync utility. Although honest guys and girls don’t necessarily have to use illegal content, Jel doesn’t exist only for that; 2 Ability to download various tweaks from the Cydia application and change iOS interface at our own discretion. Apple doesn't like this very much. But in fact, why can’t a user customize a personal smartphone to his own taste?; 3 New features that should initially rightfully belong to the buyer of the gadget. This is the ability to exchange data via Bluetooth with users of any devices from different manufacturers, read files from flash drives without restrictions, use any adapters, download files of any size via 3G connection; 4 A distinctive feature of JEL is that it gives direct access to the file system, which means you can add your own files for Russification and change program settings. For example, you can launch some application or toy that did not want to work before.

Well, why not do such a useful action? What is the argument made by fighters for the rights of Apple and all disadvantaged authors?

So, here are the disadvantages:

1 Jel can negatively affect the operation of all applications - they begin to crash. Although they worked fine before. Apparently they smell the enemy; 2 Problems with updating - the official function does not want to update software through pirated sites. And switching to a new version is also problematic - the unwanted jel will be demolished along with all the pirated content. Although sometimes this can be solved by creating a backup. And will a new jel be written for latest version- question. No, it will be written, but when... For the seventh iOS, they waited three months; 3 Tweaks (applications for settings) can have a very negative impact on the operation of the entire system, take it out of balance, so carefully thought out by the developers, and even lead to its inoperability. It is possible, especially if the tweak was made through the wrong place. In addition, two perfectly good tweaks can simply interfere with each other. Therefore, you need to know when to stop and not turn the operating system into a garbage dump. These tweaks can also be written by hackers to steal data. This is already a problem - you will have to install “left” software at your own peril and risk. This is the price of freedom. Well, or not install it at all - well, this is a jailbreak...; 4 Moreover, if hacked, you can provoke the deletion of all data - so it’s better to do this in advance backup copy; 5 And, most importantly, the smartphone becomes outlawed and leaves forever from under the warm wing of Apple. No one will ever repair it for free! Come on - don't be so scared. Of course, Jell is not the best thing you can do with your favorite iPhone, but if something happens, you can roll everything back, and even if the breakdown is not related to the software, it must be accepted for warranty service, at least according to the laws of the Russian Federation.

How to find out if your iPhone is jailbroken

How to check if there is a jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPhone 5s - or for any other model?

Cidia http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ is a pirated application that can hand over a junked iPhone with its head sometimes wisely hidden. The label is removed in separate folder or hidden using special tweaks. But the program itself does not go anywhere, so it is easy to determine through a search.

You can check this with using iFunbox. It is installed on the computer, after which the iPhone is connected, and in the device line you need to look if there is the word “Jailed”. If it is there, it means there is no gel. The absence of this word should be stressful, especially if tomorrow you are carrying a toy to warranty repair. After all, the model is probably already jailbroken.

How to install jailbreak on iPhone

It should be immediately noted that for each iPhone model, or, more precisely, the version of iOS that it supports, there is its own way to perform a phone call. If the method is chosen incorrectly, you can easily ruin the device. Therefore, if you are not sure that your favorite iPhone 5s or higher does not support this phone, it is better to use third-party services. Or install exactly the version described in the instructions for the Jel. There is probably no need to explain how to update the “axis”.

Jailbreak iPhone 3gs

The method works on iOS 6.0, but may not work correctly with version 6.1. Moreover, the installed hack will be tied and after each reboot the process will need to be carried out again. But the problem is solved by installing p0sixpwn from Cydia.

Algorithm of actions:

• The Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 utility is downloaded.
• The iPhone is connected to the PC, after which Redsn0w is launched (as an administrator).
• In the window that opens, select Advanced > IPSW > IOS 6.0 IPSW.
• Return to the main page and click “Jailbreak”.
• Select Install Cidia and click Next.
• The smartphone is introduced into DFU mode(you need to confirm the action), and the program itself brings the JJ process to the final stage, reporting the execution of the linked JB.
• Then click OK and the process is completed manually - based on the instructions.

Jailbreaking an iPhone 3g follows similar instructions (without step 3) and the only difference is that iOS 4.2.1 “breaks”.

How to jailbreak iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s

The order is as follows:

• Download and install the Pangu utility. As already mentioned, it works on iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s, or rather, with the operating systems that they support.
• The program starts, the iPhone is connected - if the system is suitable, the treasured Jailbreak button lights up.
• Now you need to click on it - after which the smartphone will be prompted to change the system date. The program will tell you exactly what needs to be done.
• A Pangu shortcut will appear on your smartphone - you need to launch it and continue “breaking”. Or rather, the program will do it itself. Once completed, it will turn into the Cidia icon.

Yes, it’s all like this – very, very difficult.

Jailbreak on iPhone 6/7

As you can see, an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5s is, of course, not difficult to hack. What should owners of later versions of iOS do?

And everything has already been done for them. So, first you need to download the files:

• Yalu ipa file https://mega.nz/#!W10jGaIZ!_Ph1J327fNlVPIS6Bq-cWVF…
• Cydia Impactor

• Now you need to connect the device to the PC via the latest iTunes;
• Cydia Impactor starts - it’s better to first save files from the iPhone to the cloud;
• The device is selected.
• Yalu is dragged into the Cydia Impactor window.
• A window will appear - you need to enter Apple data ID. It's better to create another account first.
• The action is confirmed - after that you need to go to the settings in the device management section and allow the developer account to be trusted.
• Now you can launch the mach_portal application that appears and rejoice. But only until the next time you turn it on, because then you will have to launch this application again. Jel is semi-attached, there is no other one yet.

How to remove jailbreak from iPhone

In this article we will try to tell you in detail about what jailbreaking is, its types, advantages and disadvantages. Verbatim Jailbreak translated from English as "Prison Break". Jailbreaking is a process in which it becomes possible to freely access the file system, in simple words this is a hack iPhone firmware, iPad, iPod Touch. Many people confuse Jailbreak with Unlock (unlocking, unlocking, unlock), but these are completely different things. Read more about Unlock in.

— the ability to install hacked paid applications from App Sore for free;
— the ability to unlock the iPhone to work with any operator SIM cards mobile communications. Unlocking using jailbreak is only relevant for the first iPhone models(up to iPhone 4).

Jailbreaking is legal and is completely legal, at least in the US. In the summer of 2010, the US government decided to recognize jailbreaking as legal. What harm can jailbreak cause?

To turn it on and operate normally, you will need to boot the device using a specific program. All data on the device (programs, music, videos, etc.) will not be damaged in this case.

In recent years, hackers have not posted tools for obtaining a tethered jailbreak on the Internet.

How to do a untethered jailbreak on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Jailbreak hackers were forced to start from scratch. Same as new iOS version, a new Apple device almost always closes jailbreak vulnerabilities. It looks like merciless. Apple patches the holes, hackers break them again... And so on for five years. Will there be a sequel?

So, what's the deal with jailbreaking iOS 6? Will it be possible to hack an iPhone 5?

Yesterday, another photo of a hacked iPhone 5 was distributed on the Internet, and according to the author of the photo, hacker Planetbeing, work is being done on jailbreaking the flagship Apple smartphone ongoing and significant progress is being made.

There is hope for jailbreak enthusiasts.

Apparently, the responsibility for developing an untethered iOS 6 jailbreak is taken by the same small elite group of hackers, for whom a new hack is not a motivation for making money and fame (although this cannot be avoided). They spend countless hours working on hacking iOS for one simple reason: it is a challenge for them.

iPhone 5 on iOS 6 is a daunting task even for jailbreak veterans like Pod2g, P0sixninja and Planetbeing. Apple has fixed exploits that were used in the past to develop untethered jailbreaks. Creating a new tool will require several new exploits working together in harmony, like a complex symphony.

Hacker forces were thrown into searching for pieces of this puzzle, however, at the international gathering of iOS hackers in September, the future of untethered iPhone jailbreak 5 looked gloomy.

Two months have passed since then. In November, things look much more promising.

Well-known hacker Planetbeing, who was hard at work jailbreaking the iPhone 5 during JailbreakCon, yesterday posted a photo of his personal iPhone 5 with a jailbreak tweak installed on the lock screen.

“We are still missing critical parts and cannot release the jailbreak on this moment" noted Planetbeing, whose real name is David. “Believe me, we would be happy to release it as early as possible. The foundation of the jailbreak has already been laid, but its structural integrity must be ensured before release. At this stage, I would characterize it more as finding missing parts rather than debugging."

As usual, David was unable to confirm any release dates for a tool capable of untethered jailbreaking iOS 6, but when asked if the iPhone 5 jailbreak status looked bleak, David replied, “Not at all.”

We will keep you updated on developments.

Today, owners of iPhones, iPads and iPods have the opportunity to run their devices under iOS control 11.

The hack became possible thanks to the efforts of programmer Jonathan Levin and the LiberiOS utility.

Which iOS and devices is jailbreak compatible with?

Before you start jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad, make sure it is compatible with the LiberiOS utility. According to the developer, jailbreak can be performed on any 64-bit device.

LiberiOS is compatible with:

• iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 5s;
• 12.9"" iPad Pro, 12.9"" iPad Pro (2nd generation), 10.5"" iPad Pro (1st generation), 9.7"" iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad;
• iPod Touch 6G.

Required condition - installed iOS 11 following versions:

• iOS 11.0.1, iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.0.3;
• iOS 11.1, iOS 11.1.1, iOS 11.1.2.

For jailbreak unsuitable iOS 11.2 and iOS 11.2.1, because in them Apple fixed the bug necessary for jailbreaking.

The editors are not responsible for the performance of your iOS devices. Everything you do is done at your own risk.

Step 0. Before starting the procedure without fail create a backup copy of your iOS device using the current version of iTunes.

Step 3. Connect your iOS device using Lightning cable, launch Cydiaimpactor on your computer or laptop and drag the IPA file onto the Cydiaimpactor window.

Step 4. Enter your details account Apple Apple ID.

Step 5. On your iOS device, open Settings -> General -> Profiles and confirm the trust level for the jailbreak profile.

Step 6. Return to the Sptingboard of your iOS devices and launch the LiberiOS utility (white icon with lines). In the application that opens, select " Do it" and wait for the hacking procedure to complete.

Step 7. Once the jailbreak is complete, you will see the following message:

Congratulations, jailbreaking iOS 11 is complete and you now have access to a private partition of the operating system.

What you need to know about jailbreaking iOS 11

After carrying out the hacking procedure, you should consider several points related to the LberiOS utility.

Firstly, hacking does not give access to the Cydia tweak store. The store developers have not yet managed to prepare it for iOS 11.

Secondly, you get a tethered jailbreak, which means that after each reboot of the device you will have to repeat steps 3 – 7 described in these instructions.

Third, the application will have to be re-signed every seven days because the certificate it owns will expire. Simply put, prepare to do steps 3 – 7 once a week.

Otherwise, Jonathan Levine managed to make a great gift for New Year for jailbreak supporters.
