On: Unc0ver Jailbreak for iOS 11.0 to 13.5

I remember the JB scene during the early days, iOS 3-6. Those were good times...

Yep. I loved rooting droids and jailbreaking iPhones back then. It almost seems like it ain’t worth it these days. I can’t think of much I can get in JB that I can’t have anyway

at one point i had the original iphone running android. it was a hot mess usability wise but still kinda marvelous in a way.

Have you tried any of the Project Sandcastle builds?

Thanks for sharing this! I just decommissioned an iPhone 7 and I think this is the perfect project for it.

It’s definitely interesting! I think the iPhone hardware is amazing, and Android is the only alternate OS I would consider running so it’s just a great match. Fun project.

When the first web based jailbreak[1] dropped I felt like something important had happened among the mundane. Rooting the HTC G1 and jailbreaking pre-App Store iOS was a PC-assisted complicated revelation; being able to JB straight from the browser doubly so.

Well, aside from the early versions of Android that ran all your keyboard input through a root shell: https://web.archive.org/web/20081206090335/http://blogs.zdne...

I’m having flashbacks of mistyped commands on a G1 keyboard leading to restoring my nandroid backups. It took a couple tries but was well worth it for the decent overclock I was able to get out of it. With an extended battery it was a pretty decent two or three day charge phone with some battery management. Still love that phone.
