So you’ve heard about the Odyssey Team’s upcomingCheyotejailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1, but now you’re wondering what you should do with those device(s) you still have running iOS or iPadOS 14, or perhaps they’re running a newer version of iOS or iPadOS 15, or even iOS or iPadOS 16 beta for that matter. What should you do next?
While thegolden rule that we reiterate religiouslyhere at iDownloadBlog is for prospectivejailbreakersto keep their device(s) at the lowest firmware whenever possible for the sake of jailbreak eligibility, the one and only time we can bend that rule is when we know there’s a looming jailbreak release and a newer firmware will be supported.
Since there’s a lot of confusion on the matter of what options prospective jailbreakers have with respect to what firmware they’re running, it seemed like a very good time to echo a helpful flowchartTweetedby Havoc repository customer experience lead@aaronp613this evening. Here’s a closer look at that flowchart:
Depending on what version of iOS or iPadOS you’re currently running, there may be certain actions you will want to take to preserve or enhance your jailbreak eligibility. Here’s the gist of things:
The flow chart is generally correct in most instances; however, we advise our readers to decide for themselves if losing their current jailbreak or gambling with jailbreak eligibility in the future is worth it. Currently, the only certain jailbreak release is going to be for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1, but it’s worth noting that security researcher Linus Henzeplans to demo Fugu15with support for up to iOS & iPadOS 15.4.1 in October. No one knows yet if Henze plans to release this publicly.
Have you already prepared your device(s) for the Odyssey Team’s upcoming Cheyote jailbreak tool for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1, or will you wait for the next jailbreak? Be sure to let us know in the comments section down below.
