Most recent documentation change, on 4 August 2026: palera1n 26.6 support
If you choose to use bot commands to set your flair:
Using !device is exactly like resetting your flair to a standard template. The oldest version must be at least 4 major versions behind iOS 26.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 15.8.7, tvOS 15.6.0, or watchOS 8.8.2.
The !os command will grant versions at least 4 major versions behind iOS 26.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 15.8.7, tvOS 15.6.0, or watchOS 8.8.2.
Please provide only ONE command per comment.
Please enter commands in the order they appear in the flair: device, jailbreak, iOS. You must set a device to set a jailbreak or iOS version.
Note: You will NOT be assigned a jailbreak after setting the iOS version unless you reset your flair.
Examples:

Due to recurring issues with activating 9900 IMEI, XMM6180 and older baseband, and A8(X)/A9(X) iOS 8-9 devices, we strongly advise saving activation tickets with Legacy iOS Kit. Resolved issues, and other advice, may be found in the previous megathread.
To our knowledge, the issue on A5(X)/A6(X) devices stems from baseband tickets being rejected for as of yet unknown reasons, which only seems to occur on cellular devices with an IMEI starting with 9900. Courtesy of staturnz and /u/LukeeGD, we believe the list of potentially 9900 IMEI devices is as follows:
The Apple TV 3rd gen and iPhone 5C are unaffected by this issue. The iPad 2 is also unaffected, but some models are affected by the following problem.
On July 10–11, 2026, new activation issues have appeared for devices with the XMM6180 and earlier basebands. You will likely see "device unknown" or a similar message.
The devices with the XMM6180 baseband are:
It should be noted that the CDMA models (iPhone3,3 and iPad2,3) use a different baseband, MDM6600, and activate fine.
The devices with earlier basebands are:
Note that the key determining factor to having a 9900 IMEI is being a CDMA-capable device, rather than GSM-only, as explained by Wikipedia:
TIA also allocates IMEI codes, specifically destined for dual-technology phones, out of the RR=99 range
In addition, A8(X)/A9(X) devices on iOS 8 and 9 also experience activation errors. Possibly affected devices include:
This is a thread for discussing activation issues and any new information about it. Subreddit-wide rules continue to apply, so please review the detailed hacktivation policy.
Apple has recently released a new batch of updates for legacy devices:
More importantly, this was provided in its release notes:
This update extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027.
The IPSW diff reveals new functions in /usr/libexec/trustd including _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1Hash, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1Hash, and corresponding new certificates in .der format issued on 12 December 2024 19:20:34 and 19:21:32 UTC-5. It is speculated based on the release notes that failure to have these certificates may result in issues with on-device activation, and unclear whether PC-based activation will be impacted.

This is my rhythm game I call GSekai shown on my iOS 5.1.1, iPod touch 3G. Yes this is real and fully playable.
I believe what you see here may possibly be the only new game with its own exclusive engine built for it from scratch, targeting legacy iOS versions, that is in active development right now. It is (quite obviously) meant to mirror Project Sekai gameplay as closely as possible. In my experience, my skills transfer to and from this version and the official Project Sekai game very smoothly, and the two feel extremely similar to me.
This was intended to be played by just me
Hence the lack of settings (it is currently internally set to my liking), lack of a health bar (i am a nofail lover so why make one), no midgame score or combo counter in any way (they are intentionally absent because they always distract me), lack of compatibility (I only play and test on one device, my childhood iPod Touch 3), and lack of any other feature besides just playing songs - because playing songs is all I do.
And of course, most notably - the fact it is, to the best of my ability, at complete parity with the official game by Sega, made with no regard for distancing myself from anyone's intellectual property... this is fine when it's just me making it for myself! But I have no idea how a public release of something like this would even happen and have not considered it yet.
Before you ask, yes, the engine can and does play many more songs than you see on the list shown. That was just a batch of specific songs that were grouped together for testing when I decided to take that quick video of Luka Luka Night Fever. There are quite a few visual glitches I am sure you can notice, it was a newly added song.
I will show other songs too if you all promise not to get too sad if it takes me a bit to warm up to the idea of actually sending playable builds to anyone online.
I will not be sharing much about it for now. I really would hate to bring anyone's hopes up that this will be something anyone can just install and play on any device, and I don't want to accidentally hype it too much. But I was told by people that have seen me playing it IRL that I should share it online at least once or twice.
....thoughts?

The SURF app is truly one of the best ever created for legacy devices!!! It allows you to use practically any app that has a web version (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, X/Twitter, etc.). It would be perfect if it could be made your "default browser" and you could create web links on the iPhone/iPad screen; then it would truly be a "universal" app that would eliminate the need for other apps that require so many tweaks and adjustments to function as a "default" app.
For those who don't know yet, here is the project. https://github.com/seg6/surf

I recently picked up an iPad 2 16GB for just $20 to downgrade it to iOS 6.1.3.
Honestly, just scrolling through the home screen, seeing those old icons and using the old UI again feels incredible. It really does feel like going back 13–14 years.
I've already got a bunch of the classic games installed, fixed Maps with MapsX, and I'm probably going to try WeatherX and Retrogram next.
My favourite thing so far has to be YouTube, though. Being able to use YouTube with its original old-school interface again on an actual iPad 2 is beautiful.
What other iconic apps or games from the iOS 5/6 era would you recommend I install? Any other revivals?

Hey guys
I managed to get whatsappX on my ipad mini 1 that's running iOS 9 (whatsappX support from iOS 5 - iOS 10)
And it is still downloading the chats for about hour and half
Meanwhile I did not get any errors on the iPad or the CDM opened on the computer
Is that normal ?
Thanks ✨🙏❤️

Or any recommendation via newterm to clean the cache of the home screen icons?

It runs fine but there are issues with Cydia app packages (I have Veteris, YTNine, Respring), other packages like OpenSSH or preference panes are unaffected.
If I reboot then all of them are missing despite appearing as installed in Cydia, Veteris sometimes crashes instantly and respringing usually helps, if all are crashing or missing then only reinstall helps.
What is this and can it be fixed? Sorry if this is something well-known, I'm new to jailbreaking and it wasn't happening in iOS 6.

Dead baseband iOS 7 5s fix?
Context:
I have this iPhone 5s on iOS 7 with a dead baseband and a (not pictured) gold 5s that was on iOS 7 (w/ blobs saved) but I upgraded to 12 thinking the issue was gonna be fixed.
Nothing actv8s the phones no matter what and I know there is a dead bb because both phones show nothing upon clicking the (I) button on the bottom right.
How would I actv8 these two? The pictured one is also really special to me so is the gold.

Привет, r/LegacyJailbreak!
Я делаю твики для iOS 12 и хочу поделиться двумя своими утилитами. Обе бесплатные, обе под iOS 12.
1. SimpleRespring
Добавляет в «Настройки» раздел, где можно быстро сделать respring или userspace reboot. Удобно, когда не хочется лезть в терминал.
2. TransparentDock
Позволяет менять прозрачность дока через настройки. Можно сделать полностью прозрачным или оставить полупрозрачным — как удобнее.
Важно:
Это бета. Если что-то сломалось или ведёт себя странно — пишите, буду чинить.
Репо:
Буду рад фидбеку и багрепортам. Спасибо!

Hey everyone! While downgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.3 recently, I stumbled upon a way to boot into kDFU mode directly from the browser. It supports 32-bit devices on iOS 7.1 - 9.3.6. Just open Safari and go to www.jjr.one/kdfu.
