Electra Team and Pwn20wnd issue status updates regarding the A12(X) jailbreak

Despite the unforeseen bombshell that Saurik recently dropped on the jailbreak community regarding the much-anticipated Cydia Substrate update for A12(X) devices, this hasn’t stopped talented hackers such every bit those from the Electra as well as unc0ver jailbreak teams from devising workarounds to ensure that the community gets its cake as well as eats it too.

The unc0ver jailbreak is mayhap the most impacted jailbreak
from the ordeal, every bit Electra uses Substitute instead of Cydia Substrate. And for
that reason, nosotros consider the next words from hacker as well as unc0ver lead
developer Pwn20wnd hold upward to hold upward somewhat pregnant given the times we’re in:

According to Pwn20wnd, in that place appears to hold upward a põrnikas inwards Apple’s
own code that impedes the might to loading tweaks properly. More
specifically, it involves DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, which appears to hold upward broken inwards connection
to the bug.

Pwn20wnd continues past times explaining that yous could yet charge tweaks
in sure as shooting processes using an “improper hack,” but that it “comes alongside major
injection limitations as well as stability issues.” Pwn20wnd isn’t specific nearly what
the so-called ‘hack’ is, but nosotros tin sack simply assume he’s referring to Substitute.

It’s worth mentioning that Pwn20wnd said he would operate on an
updated version of Substitute for the unc0ver jailbreak given the fact that Cydia
Substrate for A12(X) devices may never run into the low-cal due to the newfangled
complications Apple created for Saurik.

Pwn20wnd farther responded to a comment from an avid jailbreaker, claiming that these limitations would also touching the Electra Team’s upcoming Electra12 jailbreak:

On the Electra Team’s side of things, an solely different
tone is beingness used. CoolStar Tweeted maxim that A12(X) back upward on iOS
12.0-12.1.2 is “EZ” as well as that simply põrnikas fixes remain:

Electra Team fellow member nullpixel after indirectly responded to
Pwn20wnd’s comments nearly Substitute, adding that there’s “nothing ‘improper’
about our A12(X) support” as well as that “everything fully industrial plant as well as tin sack claw and
inject into whatsoever procedure yous want.”

It remains to hold upward seen who’s correct inwards all this mud-slinging betwixt the 2 competing teams, but ane fact remains: both the Electra Team as well as squad unc0ver propose the jailbreak community’s patience every bit A12(X) back upward piece of cake comes to be. There’s yet no official ETA concerning A12(X) back upward for either jailbreak.

Are yous excited nearly the possibility of having a full
A12(X) jailbreak inwards the future? Discuss inwards the comments department below as well as let
us know which jailbreak tool you’ll hold upward using.
