If you happen to have a 32-bit iOS 9.1-9.3.4 device, then you might be thrilled to learn that there’s a newjailbreakin town that supports it.
JailbreakMe 4.0 was released by iPhone hackertihmstaron Tuesday, and it can jailbreak any iPhone, iPod touch, oriPadthat meets the criteria mentioned above.
Just like browser-based jailbreak tools in the past, you need onlyvisit the JailbreakMe 4.0 websiteinSafariand tap on the “Jailbreak Me” button to get started. Doing so triggers the zippy jailbreak process, and installs Cydia on yourHome screen.
Furthermore, you’re able to untether this jailbreak by adding tihmstar’s repository to your Cydia app and installing the “Community Offsets” and “UntetherHomeDepot” packages within. Toadd this repository to Cydia, you’ll need to use the URL provided below:
Interested in learning how it works? Tihmstar published a demonstration video onYouTube, which we’ve embedded below for your convenience:
One of the things we can gather from the video demonstration is that JailbreakMe 4.0 may or may not work on specific devices, and tihmstar tested his jailbreak on an iPhone 4s in this video. If it doesn’t work, then tihmstar advisesusing the HomeDepot jailbreak toolrather than trying the JailbreakMe 4.0 tool over again.
Because most people have unsupported 64-bit devices runningiOS 10or later, tihmstar admits that his tool doesn’t have much practicality. Instead, he created it for fun so that the public could take advantage of it.
Given just how many independent jailbreak projects seem to be in the works, it’s possible thatwe might see another season of jailbreaking. With a light at the end of the tunnel,the jailbreak community pushes on.
