The iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak is Not Too Far from Happening

The jailbreak community is ready for a tool that can liberate their iOS devices from the 11.4.1 version from Apple, and their hopes have recently grown as it might be time for its release.

A renowned developer, Tihmstar, posted a tweet on 12th of January that got the Jailbreak anticipators on their toes as he announced he finished the exploit that will help him port the KPP bypass to iOS 11. However, people still need to wait for its release as the developer does not want to overlap with another project from other people.

To make sure that the jailbreak community waiting for the iOS 11.4.1 sleeps well at night knowing it is on its way, Tihmstar decided to post a follow-up tweet not too much time after announcing his followers that they should better stay on iOS 11 and keep their lightning adapters and headphone jacks at reach distance. According to the IDownload Blog, he proceeded in telling the people who follow him that if they are unjailbroken, they should remain this way, and if they are not, they will have a surprise.

The tweets got both some reactions and were retweeted and like repeatedly while many people from the jailbreak community asked questions through the comment section.

Even though the release of this tool is not a concrete event, the Tech News hinted that the statements from Tihmstar are enough a promise to make people think that the iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak is not too far from being launched. With that being said, even though Apple tries to eliminate the jailbreak community with every update they release, a kernel was still there for our developer to reach and enter into their security vulnerability.

In addition to that,  the iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Standalone Tool release so waits for that you can see how the jailbreak community has developed over the years.

Electra’s iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Latest Details

Coolstar’s iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak was finally released. Even though for that version of iOS, theirs is not the first jailbreak tool, if you are a person who prefers Electra tools over other developers’ creations, you will be pleased to hear the news. A publicly-available jailbreak for iOS 12 is still yet to come so this is the best we can get.

Electra 1.2.3 supports iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak

Electra 1.2.3 is the newest version of the jailbreak tool from Coolstar, and it is compatible with iOS 11.0 through iOS 11.4.1. iOS 11.4.1 was supported for the first time by Electra 1.2.0, but people who tried it claim it was causing some out of nowhere crashes.

To fix the crashing problem, as a result, Electra 1.2.1 was rolled out rather quickly based on what Redmond Pie says. Since then, the website of the Electra team has been updated with additional versions of their iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak. Now the async_wake so jailbreaking 11.0-11.1.2 works properly and the nonce generator button not working issue has been solved.

In July last year was released the first Electra IPA, and the first jailbreak to support iOS 11 through 11.3.1 was also Electra IPA. Pwn20wnd released its unc0ver jailbreak after that release, and their creation seemed to have a better stability than Electra.

Details on Electra’s iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak

According to Redmond Pie Electra enjoys a core following. What they mean by that is that Electra’s iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak being released will make many people happy. Because the jailbreak tool from Electra does not require users to have an Apple developer account anymore to be allowed to use it, it is great. In addition to that, on Twitter, the Electra team said that their tool couldn’t be compared with the vfs exploit redundant as now it employs the newer voucher_swap exploit.

New iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak is in Development

Those that want to jailbreak their device and are currently running iOS 11.4.1 will be happy to learn that a Twitter user is hard at work on a jailbreak solution for this particular iOS version.

According to a source the news was posted by thihmstar, a famous developer that is well-known in the jailbreak scene. The announcement led to enthusiastic reactions since many people want to jailbreak their device.

Tihmstar is developing an exploit that will be compatible with iOS versions that go up to 11.4.1. While the kernel can be read it will take a while until the task will be finished. He tested the fix on an iPhone 6 but is unsure if it will work on other models, including those that don’t have a headphone jack.

In a later post tihmstar said that he managed to gain access to the kernel base but the exploit requires the existence of a headphone jack in order to work properly.

Jailbreaking a device has remained a controversial process since the first exploit was released.  The Cupertino company was against the process since day one and each iteration of iOS has become increasingly harder to crack as time passed. Apple has declared that jailbreaking is a dangerous act since it exposes your device to several risks.  If you decide to jailbreak your device and then face a problem Apple will not help since jailbreaking a device will void the warranty.

Those that decide to take the risk and jailbreak device will get access variety of tweaks and features that can improve the functionality of their device. But they can also download infected apps released by malicious third-party providers.

Until now it was possible to jailbreak a device that is running iOS 11.3.1. If the new exploit will be stable, it will mark a significant progress on the way to a jailbreak for iOS 12. It remains to be seen if tihmstar will be able to release the exploit in the future.

Will iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Release At The Same Time iOS 12 is Revealed?

This past couple of weeks have been filled with big announcements in the jailbreaking community. However, now that iOS 12 is getting closer to launch, every jailbreak fan keeps talking about an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 tool release. This tool is expected to launch at the same time Apple reveals iOS 12, which is next month.

iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Release Date

Even though everyone is talking about an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool, no one knows anything about its actual release date. Not just that, but there aren’t any developers who are known to jailbreak iOS that have mentioned an iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool is coming soon. Therefore, we advise Apple fans to not get their hopes high and wait for official confirmation first.

Brandon Azad

The only reliable piece of information that we have about the upcoming jailbreak tool is that Brandon Azad is planning to attend a technical conference in September and that’s where he will reveal an iOS exploit that is compatible with iOS 11.4. Let’s hope that Apple doesn’t fix the exploit Brandon Azan plans to reveal.

Difficult Development Process

From what we can tell, the development process for the highly anticipated iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool is more difficult than expected and the tool might not be available in September or October. Therefore, jailbreak fans will need to wait a little longer until they can install Cydia and benefit from all the features that it has to offer.

Meridian Jailbreak Tool

On another note, the folks who are in charge of the Meridian iOS jailbreak have released the final version of the tool which is compatible with 64-bit iOS 10 – 10.3.3 devices. The Meridian jailbreak tool adds support for iPhone 7 and it allows users to install Cydia on their iPhones.

iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Status – New Updates and Leaks

Due to the release of the new iOS, Apple has stopped signing the old firmware, which means that unfortunately you can no longer downgrade your device from iOS 11.4.1 to iOS 11.4 beta 3. As we know, the iOS 11.3.1 Electra jailbreak is without a doubt a great solution for users who still have iOS 11.4.1 beta 3 and iOS 11.3.1.

So what are the news about the jailbreak for iOS 11.4.1?

For now, the devices running on the recently released iOS 11.4.1 cannot be jailbroken and there is not much that we know about a future release. As we mentioned before, the iOS 11.3.1 Electra jailbreak can be used for the iOS 11.4.1 beta 3 firmware and it’s no news that the jailbreaking tool has been a great success. However, we do need an updated version of the tool for the new operating system that Apple has just released.

What should we expect for now?

Based on a recent post by Redmond Pie, the best scenario would be for the tech giant to place a particular firmware into a pre-release stage, thus allowing developers and security researchers to jailbreak it during the beta period. Therefore, Apple would not be able to take care of the discovered vulnerabilities, which would, in turn, allow for the creation of a jailbreak toolkit that will become available for that specific firmware on its release. However, a jailbreak for iOS is usually launched once a major new version is already available for the public. This is exactly the situation that we have with the new iOS 11.4.1.

New updates should follow soon

Even though we don’t have much news about the iOS 11.4.1 jailbreak tool release, we hope that something will change soon, as the jailbreaking community is definitely waiting for things to start moving.
