A separate issue caused the jailbreak exploit to fail on the iPhone 5, but this has also been pinpointed a fix will be pushed out soon. This resulted in a uicache problem in which icons could disappear from the home screen. The initial release had a problem with bad kernelpatches interfering with installd. Whilst we cannot count on this, it’s good to know that there are people learning the tricks of the trade. Tihmstar and others have used this fact to create tools and learn at the same time, giving them a springboard from which they may be able to move to new jailbreaks. 32-bit jailbreaks are well documented, and borrow techniques from each other. The fact that developers are still honing their skills in writing exploits and wrapping up jailbreak tools bodes well for future jailbreaks. This means that like the iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak, users forced to restore can simply downgrade again to iOS 8.4.1 and re-jailbreak, giving them a safety net in some cases. Before this tool, getting to iOS 8.4.1 was useless as you couldn’t jailbreak once there, but now you can. IOS 8.4.1 can be downgraded to without blobs on some devices, meaning users on other firmwares may be able to get there without saved blobs, a unique situation. Older devices may not run well on iOS 9 or 10, making iOS 8.4.1 the most recent, most secure iOS version which they can run smoothly until the end of their life. Why should I care?Īlthough many of our readers no longer have 32-bit devices, and are looking for an iOS 10 or 11 jailbreak for 64-bits only, there are several reasons why this release is still good news. 64-bit (iPhone 5s and newer) are not supported, nor are any other firmwares. It is an untethered jailbreak for 32-bit devices on iOS 8.4.1. We refrained from recommending the initial release as it had a few issues, but it now seems ready for general consumption. Following up on the Phœnix tool and an untether for the iOS 9.1-9.3.4 Home Depot jailbreak, tihmstar released an untethered 32-bit jailbreak for iOS 8.4.1 about a week ago. It seems the joint creator of the iOS 9.3.5 Phœnix jailbreak has been busy filling up the remaining gaps in the jailbroken firmware listings.
