iOS 12.2 Jailbreak Tools and Alternatives
This is one of the most discussed topics of the jailbreak community these days as iOS 12.2 Jailbreak tools were released recently. But people have some doubts and confusions with compatible iPhone versions for these jailbreak tools. Let’s talk all about iOS 12.2 jailbreak tools and compatible iPhone versions plus the iOS 12.2 jailbreak download links here in this article.
Let’s go.
iOS 12.2 was considered little hard for a successful jailbreak up until Dany Lisiansky who is a hacker and a researcher tweeted about his iOS 12.2 vulnerabilities have been patched by Apple with the release of iOS 12.3. After this reveal, another tweet by pwn20wnd. After iOS 12.3 released, @Pwn20wnd tweeted to stay on iOS 12.2 and to not to upgrade to iOS 12.3 if someone’s interested on iOS 12.2 Jailbreak. This gave away the little secret of iOS 12.2 Jailbreak and users were impatient for a spec of news of iOS 12.2 jailbreak.
So the story was getting so excited when Ned Williamson had found a long awaited kernal exploit of iOS 12.2. He managed to get kernal task_port using only CVE-2019–8605 for iOS 12.2 and he has tested thing on iPhone 6s+. This was it and all that was left was to grab the chance from this. Finally the famous iOS developer and hacker, @Pwn20wnd, who was already working on iOS 12.2 jailbreak released the most awaited public jailbreak for iOS 12.2 under unc0ver jailbreak tool with the help of Ned Williamson’s kernal exploit.
Unc0ver Jailbreak, which has a famous history from iOS 11 jailbreak with this new extension, now supports iOS 12 to iOS 12.2 jailbreak. After this public release of unc0ver jailbreak, team Electra along with CoolStar, released their Chimera jailbreak extending it’s support for iOS 12.2.
