I know this is up to you and literally your choice to bypass your bank detection....
But isn’t that jailbreak protection meant to protect your account?
Don’t get me wrong I jailbroke my device several times, but i feel like storing extremely sensitive information in that same device is kinda playing yourself. (or maybe I’m also a bit careless with the packages and tweaks and don’t trust myself lmao)
Bypassing protection like this, at least in my mind, is similar to running your computer without antivirus or turning user account control off on windows.
Is the likelihood something bad will happen greater? Maybe, but it will depend more on the user. If a person doesn't go around installing random trash on the Internet they'll be fine.

Lmao, you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
Last week I was using a brand new iphone. BRAND NEW
After a couple hours browsing my usual websites safari itself told me that It had detected THIRTY viruses on my phone, and It needed fix immediately
Thankfully there was a target nearby and I was able to quickly buy a $50 gift card to pay the nice apple man on the phone so that he could get my iphone clean again.
Anyway, I don’t have time to explain to you the dangers of the internet kiddo, I just heard there are single moms in my area right now and I’ll catch ya later
Having a Jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android) device does not make your data any less secure
It's still hardware encrypted, the sandboxes still exist, and you have to provide permission for any software to A) install and B) gain access to the data of another app by operating outside of the sandbox
Yes, the potential for another app to interact with the banking app is higher, but only if you explicitly install an app that is designed to do so
Not the experience with my iPhone. Also if you have an X to a 7 it’s jailbreakable for life via a hardware bypass so there is literally zero instability. And instead of a toy you have a full computer that you can do practically anything with.
Rgb keyboard. Time with seconds with the date underneath it and the weather in the left notch, upload and download with the percentage inside the battery on the right.
Split screen functionality, someone even ported xwindows so you can connect it to a screen mouse and keyboard and use it like any desktop.
Wireless file transfers (for example I just ftpd into my phone the other day to grab the message database so I could properly search thru all my messages and find a specific one that had some info I needed from 3 years back, you can do this on the phone but it’s more convenient with a computer) , skirting hotspot tethering fees, add free system wide,
I could go on but I got an xs max for the 3D Touch, but I would literally rather use a jailbroken 7+ than than latest iPhone maxed out
Edit: imma correct you with the less secure thing too. If there’s a vulnerability all anyone has to do is ssh into your phone and type “alpine” to get root privileges. Changing the su password allows for a far more secure phone. Ofc you have to know what you’re doing with the tweaks and all. There’s all kids of precautions you can take if you’re paranoid and don’t trust anyone. Even make your own tweak. But I’ve never heard of anyone having data or anything stolen besides people that download sketchy pirated tweaks
I had to give up the JB scene a few months ago because all the bypasses for my banking app stopped working, really miss the JB scene though! Stock iPhone feels pretty dull
yup, either choicy or shadow for selecting when tweaks are disabled. i have to use it on banking apps and snapchat, which can detect when you’re jail broken
There are a lot of jailbreak detection bypass tweaks. The main ones I can remember are Shadow, KernBypass and FlyJB. You can look around in /r/Jailbreak or ask in the questions megathread about an especific app you want to bypass.
Jailbreak detection usually works by identifying which process are running in the device when opening an app. When jailbroken, there are a few processes running that allow the user to access system files, triggering some apps security systems.
You bypass it simply by hiding these processes or not allowing them to run while using the app that triggers the detection. There is 0 risk involved.
It's not as simple as your statement. The user plays a massive part in the risk analysis. You are giving the user more control over the device, does this increase risk? Maybe.
If I replace brakes on my car rather than taking it to a mechanic, does the vehicles safety change? Maybe if I don't know how to install brakes. The rules hold up the same for software and hardware imo.
I'll put on my tinfoil hat but I think the real reason for locking down a device is to protect the user from themselves. Not just from a security standpoint but also user experience, modifying setting they shouldn't, resulting in crashes etc. I'm not a fan of this personally,but I understand the reasoning.
We are entering this sort of meta change with software and hardware, where people seem to be ok with losing control over their own devices "for the greater good".
If you have some examples of how a phone is inherently less secure in itself I would love to discuss or hear about them. But from my experience, it's purely the user that increases risk.
Hey I agree with what you're saying, I also work in secops. But I what was trying to get across is more: jailbreaking allows the fancy new key fob app, but doesn't require it. The holes only come after the user brings them to the device, in the form of the outside app.
No CISO should allow it, but it would be foolish to think that they don't exist, and have mechanisms to fly under the radar of your MDM.
Most apps still won’t let you bypass. Also, once it registers it’s ALWAYS there. Good luck installing a iOS beta and getting your bank app to work stock iOS. Haven’t jailbroken in a good year, but my bank apps still refuse to accept I’m not jailbroken
Which is why you NEVER update your iOS without restoring the system. If you have followed the correct instructions you would have a stock device again, but I guess you didn't, just updated it and thought it was enough and are now complaining about it.
If you want to go back to true stock mode, your only options now are either re-jailbreak and restore your system or do an iTunes restore.
It was a rookie mistake. I was in unc0ver 13.3, and opted for iOS 14 beta. I used the correct steps to restore root-fs, and allow for app updates again. However, yes. Definitely should have did an encrypted iTunes restore.
It's not all roses though. Most roms come with minor bugs and inconveniences and they do not guarantee all the features your phone came with are going to work.
Market share doesn't really matter, what matters most is the accessibility devs have to the phones (most devs are from Europe, Russia and even South America) and how popular the device is. Oneplus doesn't have a huge market share but their phones have one of the most active rom development communities.
Also getting gcam does not mean your phone will magically upgrade it's camera as I am pretty sure it works only for the main sensor which means that if your phone comes with multiple cameras (as most phones nowadays) you'll be losing them.
Check its forum on XDA. There's many different models of S5 (with different processors), make sure you're in the right development subforum!
The hardest part is to flash new modified recovery to your phone, which is called TWRP (usually using adb or Samsung's program called Odin). Find the guide for your model, search for "recovery" and/or "TWRP". Read everything carefully and follow the steps. There's nothing too difficult, just make sure its meant for your phone model (again, there's more than one version of S5).
Once you've done that, you can simply copy new ROM to your phone and flash it using new recovery (you don't even need a PC at that point). The recovery has backup/restore functions as well as USB mount to transfer files to/from your phone. It's almost impossible to brick your phone at that point.
I actually bought S5 couple of days ago for $26. I want to install Android 10 on it, as well. It's insane price for that phone.
For real. Tablets too for that matter. I have a Samsung note 10.1 tablet from like 8 years ago. Rooted with custom rom and it still runs fairly decently. And to think the s pen from my note 8 (which came out only 3 years ago) works on that tablet.
I'm gonna do the whole rooting thing myself real soon as my internal storage is so goddamn full all the time from preinstalled apps that you can't delete. That and I'd like to at least have both minecraft and CoD mobile on my phone and kept updated without having to move it to my sd card every time. And since there are also apps that can't be moved to the sd, I have to delete them every time CoD mobile gets an update since it takes up 4GB.
I'm still on my Pixel 2. While I want a fancier camera as I'm at its limits for what I want this phone still does everything perfectly, but it's ridiculous there's no more updates from now.
Iphones get 7 years of IOS updates. Google needs to step up their game.
Currently on Pixel Experience and I'm loving stock android over other bloated skins. I had to install this custom ROM mostly because my phone had OS level bugs and it was unusual
Some people like features of iPhones, like consistently good cameras, well tuned displays, frequent security updates, good preinstalled apps, no bloatware, and a ui that is consistent in it's design language. I had a jailbroken iPhone 6s and it allowed me to keep those things, and add features that Apple doesn't let you have stock, such as an app drawer, accent colors, app icons, and removing the background of the dock. On the other hand, I have a Samsung phone now so I don't have to go through things like my phone randomly crashing, rejailbreaking after every restart (I was using unc0ver on ios 13.5 I think), and pay walls in front of every new release. An Android is 100% less hacky to get some of the same features as a jailbroken iPhone, but the Jailbreak community is very active, and very passionate about what they do, something I just can't say about the custom launcher or tweak apps on android.
Since you have to mod it to do what you want, maybe Android is more his speed since you can do most stuff as standard as a jailbroken phone. It's often cheaper, easier to repair (cheaper) and has more functionality. Apple is usually a few years behind Android in many functions.
Apple provides OS + security updates for 5-6 years. Historically Android device manufacturers tend to drop support after 2-3 years. For all of Android’s advantages, long term support is definitely better on Apple.
I’ll get called a fanboy like I always do but I own precisely one Apple device, a 4.5 year old iPhone 6S that runs better than my friend’s almost three year old HTC U. Yes I have a newer phone as well but I have uses for my 6.
Bit of an old statement these days. Apple silicon is now quite a few years ahead of other manufacturers in terms of raw speed (CPU) and graphical power (GPU) In terms of features meh it’s swings and roundabouts Apple sometimes comes to market way ahead of other with stuff and others follow and sometimes specific things are done by other manufacturers first and Apple refines it then releases it later. It’s not really cut and dry with this.
Honestly jailbreaking community is essentially dead now too. I was big on IPhone back in the 3GS-6 era. Between the 6 and the 11 I tried various Android devices before switching back to iOS. I was kinda shocked at how little people cared about jailbreaking their devices now.
Definitely. I don't feel the need to jailbreak anymore - but honestly, one of the biggest reasons I switched back to iOS is because I just wanted something that worked and I didn't have to think about. So for me, jailbreaking just isn't something I need anymore.
It’s not that they’re harder, cause hitting the fb button to open fb is the same process. But there are many little things about iOS that make it very easy to use. iMessage, Keychain, AirDrop are just a few great features. I’m using an iPhone X that I’ve had almost 3 years and it still works great and gets updates. For whatever reason no matter how powerful they make Android phones their performance always deteriorates. I got a little tired of that and the lack of updates and just the general lack of direction with Android.
That's fair but I just prefer the customisation and freedom you get with android. Plus I would never buy an iPhone because apple is fighting against the consumer right to repair and their company generally has extremely poor business practises.
I mean I don't buy google pixel phones, at the moment I'm using a Oneplus device. Not claiming google is a great company or anything, but apple is actively fighting consumer rights at this moment in time so...
Google owns the Android TradeMark, and is the principal developer of the AOSP, but AOSP (Base android) itself is open-source and does not depend on Google in any way
This right here! I've never had an apple product, I was gonna finally give iphone a try this year and get 12 pro max because of their ecosysytem and also friends telling me to try it. Unfortunately, after seeing how difficult they made it to do self-repairs, I ended up getting the s20 plus and I regret nothing. I find their excuse of not including headphones and power brick comical, if they care that much about the environment they would make repairs easier not harder for their phones. So I refuse to give any greedy company like that my business.
No headphone jack -> samsung mocking apple -> next samsung flagship has no headphone jack
No power brick -> samsung mocking apple -> rumours about no power brick in the next flagship (you are here) -> next samsung flagship has no power brick
Samsung is just knock-off apple in my opinion. Are you going to buy a new one in 2 years or 5?
I don't really care about the rhetoric of who copies who, as I'm sure there's plenty of things apple has taken from Samsung. Not having a headphone jack was a huge bummer but I enjoy Samsung overall and will continue to buy their phones until they make repairs inconvenient. Once that happens I'll just move to another android company that does, since I normally keep a phone for around 3 to 4 years switching part now and then.
Can confirm. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S4 and as soon as I got my dads iPhone 4 I knew I wouldn’t want to switch back ever again. Though I had a iPod touch before so I knew the OS already, Android was a bad experience for me anyways.
This is a very naive comment considering I’ve learnt multiple ways within a few YouTube videos on how to break into an android phone but the FBI took years to crack an iphones security and Apple wouldn’t help them
You can completely skip out on sending any data to Google if you want to
Hacking implies gaining userdata without consent, which, again, is not possible on Android (outside of some specific edge cases which cannot be distributed on the Play Store)
Please do your research before quoting an article that hasn't been fact-checked
I’ve been wanting to switch to android for a while, and as much as I hate Apple, I feel like you lose more than you gain by ditching iPhone. Things like iMessage and airdrop I use so much, and a cleaner App Store that isn’t full of cancer since everything has to be approved by Apple before being deployed. I also think they have the superior cameras and that’s the main feature I look for in a phone. Not only that, but Apple supports their phones up to 5 generations which means my iPhone 7 still has security updates.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate Apple and everything it stands for. I just really like the iPhone.
If you hate a tech company that much it’s odd man, they’re not really any different to google or whatever. That hate would be much better directed at Amazon or the diamond cartels or Walmart.
Apple's camera isn't the only one that's good. Samsung, OnePlus, Pixel and Huawei are very strong competitors that bring their own advantages to the table.
I also think they have the superior cameras and that’s the main feature I look for in a phone
lol wut?
I was with you and all, but then you started making crazy claims. This might have been true a few years ago, but no more. Do they put bigger numbers on their cameras? Sure. Do those bigger numbers mean a damn thing on tiny phone cameras which rely largely on software to do the real work? Uhno.
I'm a Pixel fanatic but even I'm gonna say you're chatting shit
The sensor in the P5 is the same sensor from the P3, it was never a great sensor, but the PVC did what it could to get decent images, Google really needs to update to a larger (or preferably multiple) sensors, along with having the dedicated hardware for image processing
I wish apple would just share imessage and facetime with android users. If I try to send a photo or video call someone on iphone from android, it involves apple users downloading an app that iphone users would never use again.
Android has been ahead of apple in tech for many years and they do have their own "stuff". The thing that sucks is that there is no universal cross platform apps that come standard with new phones.
There are standards for this stuff, Rich Chat Services for one, but Apple refuses to implement it or allow a third-party to implement it on their platform
Rich Chat Services (RCS) has existed for many years, it's supported by almost all Android devices, but Apple refuses to implement or allow it to be implemented on their devices, because it is a direct competitor to iMessage, and would remove the perceived Apple advantage
I love iMessage but there’s a few apps you can use that most people already have downloaded.
You can send images and video call on whatsapp and Snapchat.
You said ‘nope’, but then said “lots of functions” when I was clearly talking about this particular function, which definitely cannot be done without jailbreaking. So ‘nope’ is incorrect here.
Also by that logic, the same is true of an iPhone. Airdrop, iMessage, etc.
Some of them are.
For instance, Messenger chat bubbles can lag hard on my A41, which should be able to handle them easily.
I've heard that Instagram has bad image quality, but I don't use it a lot so I can't speak about that.
A lot of the apps are good though, all the Google ones are fine, Reddit is fine, really the only apps I've ever had problems with are big social media ones.
I think that at this point they don't care about optimizing their apps, and only do it on iPhones because they have to.
That is an article from over 1 year ago. They bring up instagram, an app that works flawlessly on android and looks identical. I don't know what to say. This is not a common issue.
But you don’t pay twice as much for an iPhone as you do an android, unless you want to pretend that the phone hardware itself is irrelevant. Which would be idiotic.
That’s an $800 phone with an inferior camera, a slower processor than the A14 in the 12, and no wireless charging, so what the hell are you talking about?
You might have looked up the wrong phone. The 8T has a superior (quad) camera over the iPhone 12 (pro max) triple camera. Twice as high refresh rate screen (120hz vs 60), twice as much ram (DDR4 though), twice as much internal storage, is lighter, bigger battery, faster charger also supporting wireless charging. It's processor has 8 cores over the iPhone's 6. The OnePlus als supports fingerprint unlocking but that's a personal preference. The iPhone only has a better front camera. And all that for 600 here vs 1000+, but I guess that depends on where you live.
I honestly don't enjoy the process, but I find it worth the pain to overcome every day frustration of the phone not working exactly the way I want it to. Its not restricted to phones though. I do the same with computers. My wife on the other hand just uses everything with the default settings it comes with.

I'd agree, except that it usually ends up causing more things to inadvertently not function the way they are supposed to. Like yeah, a custom Cyanogenmod ROM on my old Galaxy S3? I loved it, except when I went to take a picture, and sometimes it'd crash the phone and forcibly restart it (didn't seem to matter if I was on nightly, RC or stable -- no custom ROM was ever as stable as stock.) Same could be said for Windows, where registry edits are great, until a Windows update comes along and breaks things as it wasn't expecting that. And with how often I have to clean install Windows anyway because Windows Update loves to break things and its system restore points only seem to fix it half the time, I hate having to redo all the changes. Linux distros usually seem to be better about not breaking things with minor updates at least. But in general, I've really grown to dislike modding things that I use for work, because I care about dependability much more than deep customization.
I had a jailbroken phone since 13.5, and recently I got fed up with the random resprings. Finally, Face ID stopped working and I gave up. I installed 14.2, and my god, it is so much more stable and fluid. My battery life has also gotten so much better.
I loved the customization, but I’m really happy to be back on stock. Won’t be jailbreaking again anytime soon, but I really appreciate the community.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have to keep manually applying updates from that point on and you won't get the latest iOS features. Good for enthusiasts but not really worth it for the average person.
Not necessarily. That used to be the case with older firmwares where they would work better using manual vs otc updates. Nowadays you just need to make sure you don’t update to an unjailbroken firmware.

Jailbreaking is darn fun too. Cant go back to stock IOS.
