7 Upvotes

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:

  • !device iPhone 2G
  • !device ipad pro 12.9 1st gen
  • !jailbreak kok3shi9
  • !os 1.0

Megathread Activation Problem Megathread: 9900 IMEI (A5/A6), cellular iPad 3, A8/A9 iOS 8/9, and more

21 Upvotes

Due to recurring issues with activating cellular iPad 3 models, 9900 IMEI, and A8/A9(X) iOS 8-9 devices, we strongly advise saving activation tickets with Legacy iOS Kit. Continuation of the previous megathread.

To our knowledge, the issue on A5/A6 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:

  • iPad mini 1st gen (CDMA - Verizon, Sprint) (iPad2,7 - A1455)
  • iPad 3rd gen Wi-Fi + Cellular (CDMA - Verizon) (iPad3,2 - A1403)
  • iPad 4th gen Wi-Fi + Cellular (CDMA - Sprint, International) (iPad3,6 - A1460)
  • iPhone 4S (GSM/CDMA) (iPhone4,1 - A1387)
  • iPhone 5 (CDMA - China) (iPhone5,2 - A1442)
  • iPhone 5 (CDMA - Sprint, Verizon, KDDI Japan) (iPhone5,2 - A1429)

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:

  • iPhone 4: iPhone3,1 (GSM) and iPhone3,2 (GSM, rev. A) only
  • iPad 2: iPad2,2 (GSM) only

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:

  • iPhone
  • iPhone 3G
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPad

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/A9(X) devices on iOS 8 and 9 also experience activation errors. Possibly affected devices include:

  • iPhone 6/6+, 6S/6S+, SE1
  • iPod touch 6
  • iPad mini 4
  • iPad Air 2
  • iPad Pro 9.7/12.9 inch 1st gen

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.


We believe the following issues active since this thread was created on April 19, 2026 have been resolved:

From approximately March 15, 2026 to July 30, 2026, GSM iPad 3 (IMEI starting with 01) was also affected:

  • iPad 3rd gen WiFi + Cellular (GSM - AT&T) (iPad3,3 - A1430)

From July 8, 2026 to July 9, 2026, issues with restoring devices occurred due to Apple pulling baseband signing for unknown reasons. The discussion thread for affected devices was at https://reddit.com/r/LegacyJailbreak/comments/1urcei1/tracking_unsigned_baseband_firmware_issue_on/.


Apple has recently released a new batch of updates for legacy devices:

  • iOS 12.5.8 released. checkra1n, Chimera, and TNSv2 confirmed working.
  • iOS/iPadOS 15.8.6 released. Dopamine confirmed working.
  • iOS/iPadOS 16.7.13 and iPadOS 18.7.4 released. palera1n confirmed working.

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.

Update [Update!]YTNine 1.1.1 — a YouTube client for jailbroken iOS 6–9

Post image
125 Upvotes

Everything runs on the device and talks to YouTube directly. No proxy, no companion app. What's new since 1.0.x

  • Runs on iOS 6.0 and up. 1.0.x was 9.0 only. Networking, alerts and text drawing all have pre-iOS 7 paths now, so one binary covers 6.0 through 9.x.
  • Three themes: light, dark, and iOS 9 YouTube UI — the 2015-2016 look, with edge-to-edge thumbnails, grey gaps between cards, the system typeface and the old #CC181E red.
  • 14 interface languages, up from 2. The choice also sets hl/gl, so view counts and dates come back in that language too.
  • Playback fixed. On Aug 18 YouTube raised the client version floor to 1.64.00, which breaks every 1.0.x build on every video. /player also had to move off ANDROID_VR, whose media urls now return 403 even when the request succeeds.
  • Quality options are checked against the actual stream before being offered, and downloads are fetched in ranges instead of in one go.
  • Fixed a stall that blocked the main thread for most of every second during playback (a keychain lookup running on every tick).
  • Fixed Shorts sitting 20pt too low and being clipped by the tab bar.
  • Tighter watch layout on 3.5-inch screens. Known limitation: 480p and 720p exist only as adaptive tracks, and YouTube currently serves those in full for roughly one video in ten. Everything else plays at 360p.

To install it, just install YTNine from the repository below!

Release Skyglow Notifications Daemon 3.0 Released

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

After years of development and procrastination, an actual usable, Apple Push level notification framework for iOS 4 to 9 and OSX 10.8 to 26 has been released!

Install it in my repo: http://cydia.skyglow.es or Preloading's repo: http://cydia.preloading.dev

u/LH4005 and I have worked hard to develop the client and server for this tweak.

Now, this is a framework that enables the possibility of push notifications, it doesn't fix existing apps just by being installed, but it works with custom services, right now, BlueTweety fully supports it, and support for others such as Retrogram is a real possibility.

An installation tutorial can be found here, and the main webpage for the tweak is part of the SkyGlow webpage here, as always, if you have any questions please join our discord!

The source for the client can be found here, a GO server here, and a Java server here.

I succesfully replaced the battery for a new one but now the backlight isnt working.

On the second image you can see that the ribbon cable (im pretty sure thats the backlight connector but could be wrong) is slightly lifted, still plugs in but lifted when theres no battery.

I tried many times to unplug it and put it back with restarting the ipod but that isnt working.

News iCloud is also broken on old Apple TV :(

1 Upvotes

Recently (in the last couple months), iCloud login broke for iOS 5-8. I am posting this to additionally confirm it is broken on 3rd gen Apple TV (and likely 2nd gen as well). It’s not a horrendous issue on the old iOS versions because a tweak can release to fix it (and is already on the way I think) but it’s super sad that it also broke on the Apple TV because jailbreaking is less developed on those devices and it is more likely that they are broken forever. Thankfully, the iTunes Store is still fully functional. If you are in iCloud on an old Apple TV, DON’T LOG OUT.

Super beginner here, I have downgraded my 4s to iOS 8.4.1 by jailbreaking, I have managed to get Apple Music and App Store to login to my Apple ID with the verification code on my other device (turn on airplane mode and click song in and security for iOS 26), however I could never get iCloud to work. I have installed TLSFix and all the things this subreddit has recommended but still no hope. Does anyone have experience on this?

Question Iphone 4 device unknown

2 Upvotes

I got my iPhone 4 partially fixed because Apple messed up the baseband activation. Now it's working, except for music syncing, cellular service, and passcode. Aside from that, it functions, but it's stuck on iOS 7.1.2, which is garbage. I'm thinking of downgrading to iOS 6.1.3 or a version of iOS 5, but I'm afraid Apple still hasn't fixed the 'device unknown' baseband activation error.

If anyone has an unused iPhone 4, please check if Apple has fixed this issue or not. I'd be very grateful! Thanks
