iOS 14 Jailbreak Tools: Checkra1n, unc0ver, and Pangu

iOS 14 Jailbreak Tools: Checkra1n, unc0ver, and Pangu.

Over one month since iOS 14 Beta was released, jailbreaking tool teams have already made a different effort for jailbreaking iOS 14. Even though there is no jailbreak tool for iOS 14 released to the public, jailbreaking iOS 14 is bound to come.

This article will discuss the progress of iOS 14 jailbreaking of three famous jailbreaking tools. I hope it can help you learn the jailbreaking iOS 14 processes. Highly anticipate that jailbreaking iOS 14 tools will be launched as soon as possible.

Pangu jailbreak tool for iOS 14

On July 24th, 2020, the Pangu team showed a demo for iOS 14 jailbreak working on iPhone 11 at the mobile security conference (MOSEC 2020). It is good news because there are still exploits able to utilize for jailbreaking iOS systems since the Apple iOS system has fewer and fewer exploits available to be applied; however, it has a negative side because Apple may patch those exploits when launching the iOS 14 final public version. Keep an eye on Pangu.

unc0ver Jailbreak Tool for iOS 14

unc0ver jailbreak tool is one of the most popular jailbreak tools in the jailbreak community. unc0ver supports jailbreaking from iOS 11.0 to iOS 13.5.5 Beta 1 (Excluding 12.3.2 on A7-A8 and 13.5.1). Since Apple released iOS 13.5.1 to disclose the exploit used to jailbreak tools, unc0ver jailbreak tool is not likely to jailbreak iOS 14 until a new exploit appears. Nonetheless, once an exploit is discovered, using unc0ver to jailbreak is possible.

Checkra1n jailbreak tool for iOS 14

Checkra1n jailbreak tool is based on an unpatchable bootrom exploit called Checkm8 published by axi0mX, which is unpatchable. Because it works on iOS devices, not iOS Systems, it cannot be unblocked by iOS system updates. Checkm8 impacts from A5 to A11 devices; in other words, it impacts from iPhone 4S to iPhone X and many iPads.

Therefore, jailbreaking iOS 14 on iOS devices with Checkm8 is working. Due to it, after iOS 14 Beta was released a couple of hours, a picture with the jailbroken App Store Cydia on the iOS 14 system from members of the Checkra1n jailbreak tool on Twitter proved iOS 14 was able to jailbreak. But there are still other works for the jailbreak team to handle so that the jailbreak tool can work more stably for users in the future.
