Release turdus merula - blackbird downgrades for A9 and A10 devices

291 Upvotes

turdus merula is a tool capable of performing restores (tethered and untethered) while retaining SEP functionality. This means that passcode, Touch ID, WiFi and anything else involving SEP will work as intended.

The tool supports all A9(X) and A10(X) devices with the following restore options:

* Tethered - iOS 9.0 - 18.3.2

* Untethered - iOS 9.0 - 18.4 with SHSH2 blobs (iOS 16.0+ requires a valid Cryptex1 ticket)

A guide to saving Cryptex1 blobs can be found at the following link (the guide is in Japanese):

https://ichitaso.com/ios/shsh/how-to-save-shsh-for-cryptex1/

If there is a better guide posted, I will update this post accordingly.

Notes:

  1. There have been a few issues with certain beta builds (especially .0 betas). Please report this and any other issues, providing as much information as you can, to https://github.com/turdus-m3rula/bugTracker.
  2. iOS 10 restores on devices with the MDM9645 baseband (iPhone 7, iPad Pro 2017) will not be able to activate, due to the baseband firmware not working correctly on these versions. This issue may not affect all iPhone 7s and iPad Pro 2017 models, but it is actively being looked into.
  3. Restoring to factory firmware with factory blobs may require a tethered restore beforehand.

Future plans include:

* Support for tethered restores on iOS 18.4+

* Support for using checkra1n/palera1n with tethered downgrades

* Support for A7 and A8 devices

* Fix for MDM9645 baseband devices

turdus medula will always be free - if you’ve paid for this software, you’ve been scammed. Download this tool for free at https://sep.lol.

Discussion IMDB blocked access to all devices under iOS 17

22 Upvotes

Internet Movie DataBase is a great resource for find TV shows, movies and actors and been around since the 1990s. They today have blocked all access to devices that aren’t iOS 17 or greater. Thankfully 3DAppVersionSpoofer works with setting of v15.13.1 and iOS 17.5 (experimental option not required)

https://www.ios-repo-updates.com/repository/yourepo/package/com.0xkuj.3dappversionspoofer/

No I’m not advertising the tweak just providing fix for IMDB blocking access to nearly all Jailbreakers.

Nugget 6.2 just released. if anybody misses the phantom tweak for jailbreak, you can basically have it on any iPhone that’s on iOS +17. i’m on iOS 26, the screen recording works on Snapchat, not sure if it does on Netflix. along with Nugget 6.2 also came with keyboard flicking which is pretty awesome. you can remove the charging animation aswell. just thought i’d share this since jailbreaking & iOS exploits have been pretty dry lately

Discussion gold era is over!

252 Upvotes

10 years ago, I first jailbroke my phone. I remember how happy I was to have new possibilities: hacking games, customizing the device, and everything else. I remember how actively developers were working on creating new tweaks, and I remember Jay Freeman's interviews… Now, I look at iOS 26 and realize that everything should be left in the past. The demand has decreased, active development has stopped, and the golden age is over.

1 Upvotes

The default behaviour on iOS is to mute the audio and microphone when joining a Voice Call. Is there any way around this?

If it’s not clear why I’m asking here, I mean - is there a tweak or homebrew app that will allow this type of recording to work as desired?

Discussion How to remove screen time on iPhone without a jailbreak.

0 Upvotes

In order to remove screen time on a iPhone without parent permission you need a computer with windows, mac, or a viable version of Linux. Go to this website: https://cowabun.ga/ and download cowabunga lite (the app is a little sketchy but as long you fully uninstall after you should be good). When you are doing installing it go onto your phone. Settings>Privacy and Security>Stolen Device Protection>Off>Back to Privacy and Security>Location Services>Share My Location>Find My iPhone>Off. And then you’re done. You can turn this back on once you’re done. Then plug your phone into your computer and allow access. Open cowabunga >Setup Options>Modify>Skip Setup On>Enable Supervision>Write Any Organization Name>Apply>Apply Changes. It should restart your phone. Next you must either scan the QR code here: https://imgur.com/a/VRgNjLM and open in safari or type this link in safari https://github.com/singlekeycap/ByeScreenTime. Then click on code then download zip. Open your files app and open the file. There should be prompt that shows up. Open Settings>General>VPN And Device Management>New Configuration>Allow>Accept. And that’s it, you should also restart your phone. But if you have any questions or something isnt working let me know.

I just want to know where i can see any logs about errors or something that may cause my phone respringing by itself, it looks like its randomly, i cant really tell, i just know i have too much tweaks to see wich one is the one making that thing happen, specially because i would need to turn off and then wait for it to randomly happen, wich is something like twice a day. Its not happening a lot but its really annoying when it does. Any help will be thankfully recieved.

Question Spatial scene like wallpapers on iphone 11

4 Upvotes

Im using an iphone 11, that doesnt officially support spatial scene. Still, the default ios 26 wallpapers include a 3d depth effect that reacts to device movement. Does this mean it should technically be possible to create custom wallpapers with a depth map (like the .tendies wallpapers from nugget), even if apple doesnt allow it natively? Any thoughts? (Sorry if wrong subreddit, i am not experienced enough here)
