Our upcoming iOS 15 jailbreak will be sponsored by RAID: Shadow Legends👌
Can’t wait to drop it soon

why iOS 15 jailbreak isn’t released yet:
every time people talk shit on the subreddit I delay it by 1 day

Before you update to iOS 15, remember iOS 13-14.5.1 have a good chance of being untethered soon

Needless to say, if you’re on 15.1.1 or lower on A12+, stay there as it will quite literally be possibly the last public jailbreak

iOS 15.0 - 15.1.1 demo:
broke out of sandbox and execute commands already signed
on A13
I've been making jailbreaks since iOS 11 and A12 iOS 15 has been way more difficult than anything I've seen before
15.1.1's gonna be my last... that is, if we can hook amfid on A12+
iOS 15.x demo. Run 3 cmds: ls, id, sw_vers.
There is a lot of trouble in ios15. Still a long way from a real jailbreak.
iPhone XS, iOS 15.0: using cve-2021-30883 (written months ago)
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15.1: using cve-2021-30955 (thanks

It appears that our existing Codesign bypass + tweak injection for A12 12.0-12.1.2 works on A12 12.1.3-12.4 (tested via Corellium)
As soon as we have the new PAC forgery working, A12 12.1.3-12.4 should be fully working with almost the same stability as A7-A11 on 12.1.3-12.4

almost there with injection on iOS 15 ;)
also my new debug mechanism works!

Ordered the test device. Also got libhooker working on iOS 14.3 - iOS 14.5 beta 1 including A12 - A14 👍

FYI for 14.3
if anyone was able to get their hands on that "malware" that was exploiting 14.3 in the wild and get me a copy of it, I'll be able to clone the exploit and make a public jailbreak

It seems likely we'll go Sileo-only for Electra12; doesn't make sense to keep Cydia as an option when we no longer test, update or support it.

The Electra team maintains a private fork of substitute that is updated for iOS 12 and A12. We have made sure not to rely on 3rd-party closed source software in our jailbreak to make sure updates are sustainable.
More details soon.

Begging for A12 will not make it come faster.
A12 will be available when I’m happy with its stability post-jailbreak and it passes all of the automated and manual unit tests that I have in place to ensure stability

Introducing Taurine, the latest jailbreak from
@OdysseyTeam_
for iOS 14.0 - 14.3!
Coming soon!

it's nice to see Substitute and Sileo working on iOS 13 :)
dark mode soon

Odyssey14 betas will be going out shortly to testers on the Sileo discord.
There’ll be no SSH-only build, we’re skipping to builds of the full jailbreak

Chimera13 on A12 has been running stable so far
All stock functionality kept intact with no battery drain, crashes, or noticeable slowdowns
136
85
755
owo what’s this? A stable replacement for both substrate and substitute that’s designed from the ground up for the latest iOS version and devices?
Yes! Yes it is!

For A12 devices: no publicly-known PAC bypass for 12.1.3 or higher. 12.0 - 12.1.2 may be the last jb firmware for a long time
That being said, 12.0 - 12.2 has a powerful codesigning bypass (except that 12.1.3+ still needs PAC bypass)
Basically don't update
100

wonder if we should release A7-A11 a few days earlier than A12 just to see if people actually want Electra12 & an A12 jailbreak or not...

A12 12.4 is coming;
For those who failed to read the last tweet: I’m not providing an ETA

698
It should go without saying, DO NOT UPDATE TO 12.4.1
A7-A11: Update to 12.4
A12 (12.0-12.1.2): Save blobs and stay on your current firmware
A12 (12.1.3-12.3.1): Update to 12.4
A12 (12.4): Stay and wait
Any on 12.4.1: Downgrade to 12.4
Last chance to save blobs/update

Re: the screenshots of me on discord saying I’m planning to stop jailbreaking after 15.1
Yes, it’s true. I’m planning 15.1 to be my last release, including plans for what will be open sourced from Odyssey through Taurine15, any training sessions I might have to run (1/3)

One of the things s0uthwes was looking forward to was Chimera13, and I feel like regardless of whether the community will use it, I should see to it that Chimera13 is released as a token in memory of him.
68
76
711
Anyways Chimera13 on 13.x might be the last A12/A13 jailbreak from me for real depending on how many people use it
Use it on 13.x or lose it on 14.x
initial release will be hybrid libhooker/substitute, but may be upgraded to full libhooker depending on stats as well
117
93
701
Should things work out with the exploit, expect Chimera14 (SSH only) first. Followed by Odyssey14 after (libhooker and tweaks)
14 presents it’s own new challenges that I’ll have to look at :)

Anyone who has Parler or Gab installed will find that when they try to run an iOS 14 jailbreak made by me, it will refuse to jailbreak the device
I will not permit white supremacists to use my jailbreaks

Feels nice to finally have a semi-untethered jailbreak on my iPad after a while

Chimera 1.4.0 is now available for iOS 12.0 - 12.4!
This uses libhooker internally instead of substitute to apply some patches. (Your tweaks will still run on substitute, but the jailbreak itself now runs on libhooker and should be a lot more stable)
82

Should I release Chimera13 for 13.0 - 13.3 on A9-A11 so people can see how an iOS 13 semi-untether is supposed to be done?
Yes, I'd like one A9-A11

Apple might have dealt a serious blow to jailbreaking on A12 and newer devices on iOS 15...
A9-A11 looks like it’ll be relatively simple (aside from being rootless), but seems A12+ might require burning new techniques potentially for each new iOS version

Damn I tweeted a joke and they really photoshopped Electra onto the iPhone 13
like lol they even updated the team name and everything in the photoshop
84

588
LOL when people are so stuck up on 12.4 they forgot the fact I released 11.0 - 11.4.1, or even 12.0 - 12.1.2 (which includes A12), not to mention A7-A11 on 12.2/12.4
not worth burning a valuable PAC bypass for unsigned 12.4
13 is in like 2 weeks and watch people beg for that
186
45
572
There’s literally no way there’s 2x the number of A12 users compared to all of A7-A11, where are the A7-A11 users gone?

Substitute is stable on iOS 12.
Anyone who tries to claim otherwise doesn’t know the difference between substitute and pspawn/jailbreakd, and/or is using an outdated version of pspawn/jailbreakd

rofl the people who were crapping on "substitute" (when it's actually a software stack constituting of 3 different pieces) are backpedaling now they found out substrate isn't getting updated
talk about hypocrisy

I'm not releasing a jailbreak for A12 on 12.1.3-12.2. Stop asking.
Recent events in the community have ended the little motivation that I did have left to try working on it.
Unless there's a good reason to release a new A12 jailbreak, don't expect any more for A12 on iOS 12

Fun Fact: No iOS devices or virtual machines were boot looped in the process of creating Chimera :)
75
29
514
For users experiencing issues with Chimera rebooting the device at step 2/3:
1. Power off device
2. Place device in front of a fan for 30 seconds and let it cool down
3. Power on device and immediately rejailbreak
No joke, this increases success rate massively
99

524
FYI Odyssey and Taurine jailbreaks will be supported for several years
Odyssey will be supported until 2024
Taurine will be supported until 2025
If any public exploits drop for 14.6 - 14.8.1 before 2025, those firmwares will get support in Taurine
15.2 and up won’t though
56
57
521
How many people even care about a working alternative to substrate… is it literally only A12/A13 users?
134

506
Me: “I wonder if I’ll be able to go without a jailbreak on my main phone”
Also me: *literally only uses 5 tweaks*

Odyssey14 is fully compatible with signing services, since some people were asking

certain jailbreak people: "no we don't want to donate towards equipment needed for development"
also the same people: "why was the iOS 15 jailbreak delayed so long???"

I guess it's slightly funny that by the time we release Electra12, I'll be able to drink legally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Somedays I still miss working on Chimera for iOS 12 and having actual code execution in the kernel

494
Anyways here's how Chimera13's going to happen (if it does):
1. Initial release will be only for A9-A11 devices on 13.0-13.3
2. Will ship with hybrid libhooker/substitute (like Chimera12)
3. Depending on usage statistics, maybe A12/A13 and full libhooker update later
