iOS 14 jailbreak tool updated, SEP vulnerability open source downgrade is expected?

The long-awaited checkra1n jailbreak tool has finally been updated. This time, version 0.12.2 was released, which still supports computer-booted jailbreaks for iPhone 6S to X devices.

According to the update description, the crash issue of A10 (iPhone7+) devices on iOS 14.3 jailbreak is fixed, and the LaunchDaemon loading issue is also fixed.

As for the lock screen password issue of A11 (iPhone 8+ and X) devices that everyone is concerned about, you still cannot set a lock screen password. Once set, the device will automatically restart. This is what you need to know.

iOS 14 jailbreak boot method:

• Go to the "Fun Toolbox" applet and find [iOS14.0 to 14.4 USB Disk Tool]
• Insert the USB drive into the computer
• Run [Softdisk U disk writing tool.exe] and click to install
• Select Open in the upper left corner and select checkra1n.iso
• Then click Start-Write Hard Disk Image, select the USB drive and click Write
• Restart the computer, modify the computer startup item, and change it to USB startup
• Boot the device using checkra1n
• Open checkra1n on your phone and install Cydia

Later, the developer Lucas (checkra1n) released a piece of explosive news, that is, PongoOS is open source, which also includes Patchfinder and SEP vulnerabilities.

You read it right. The SEP vulnerability is also included in the PongoOS open source. This may be exploited and used for system downgrades later. Since it has just been open sourced, there is no downgrade news yet, but there should be one later.

The CoolStar (Odyssey) developer also responded, doubting whether this SEP vulnerability can be used for downgrade. Siguza developer then replied, roughly meaning that this may take a lot of time to complete, which also implies that downgrade is not impossible.

Currently, only PongoOS is open source, and there won’t be any relevant news so soon. For follow-up information, please remember to follow Ai Feng’s public account, and we will report and follow up with you at any time.

In addition! Another jailbreak tool was released today? It is called: Flux. According to the author’s description and the official website description, it supports iOS13.0 to 13.7 system versions, as shown in the figure below.

If you have been following jailbreak news, you should have heard of Flux. In the early days, the developer of this tool specialized in pranks, which means it is not a real jailbreak, but just a prank on you. However, when you use the Flux tool to activate the jailbreak, a window will pop up saying Happy New Year and you are being pranked.

The Flux 6 tool released this year is actually a jailbreak tool. This time it is not a spoof, it can really jailbreak. However, it just uses the Odyssey jailbreak tool code. Its advantage is that the tool UI interface is a bit unique, but the jailbreak stability is not as good as Odyssey.

How to prove that Flux 6 uses the Odyssey jailbreak tool? It’s very simple. Just download Flux 6.ipa and use the compressed package to see that all the files in it are the Odyssey jailbreak tool.

So, there is no need to download and install it specially. This guy is just playing a prank. He will not improve or update the jailbreak in the tool. He just changes the UI interface. I tried it and found that it was stuck. It’s enough for everyone to know that there is such a thing. Interestingly, the developer of CoolStar (Odyssey) also tried it.

That’s about it. By the way, are you looking forward to the system downgrade? Please comment.
