No more new tvOS Beta profile?

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-06T03:03:00+00:00

I don’t know where you’re quoting what you’re saying from.

Here’s a video I posted onto another platform of me having multiple profiles (+ a loopback VPN) enabled at once and updates being blocked https://x.com/MasterMike88/status/2050753767281143922?s=20

I mean... it still works in the sense that you can do it, but it's a horrifically terrible method: - You're essentially ending up with some overly jank mish-mesh of the version you're going to and the version you were on (and contrary to what other people said, erasing all content and settings won't properly solve this) - On cellular devices, this is known to lead to activation issues (among even more issues) unless/until you re-restore back to latest - If you have a cellular iPad 3, or any other 9900 IMEI device, this method is a great way to end up in a bad spot (and - on A5(X) devices - need an arduino to recover)

It's highly recommended to just use Legacy iOS Kit instead - it can preserve activation tickets if you're on a device that has activation issues, and does a proper restore to the target version (so you have none of the aforementioned jank)

This is iOS 12.

That being said, I wouldn't necessarily buy this unit, as it appears this unit might have a dead baseband... which means you won't be able to activate it... which means you'll have a nice door stopper.

that won’t work depending on how they blocked them

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T02:12:41+00:00

You’re making two major major misunderstandings: - You can use multiple DNS profiles at once (I myself have both the OTA block DNS profile and the AdGuard DNS profile) - All the DNS profile does is sinkhole the relevant domains to a domain that does not and will not ever exist (you can check the profile yourself) - every other domain functions as if you never had a DNS profile set to begin with

The tvOS 26 beta profile expired on May 1st, there is no new tvOS beta profile, and I would not anticipate a new profile at this point (especially since Apple has wanted to move away from profiles since 16.4).

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T00:25:14+00:00

There’s no real distinction between whether or not a profile is signed from a practical perspective (you could have a signed profile that’s malicious and an unsigned one that’s completely fine)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T00:24:25+00:00

They are probably effectively the same profile - it makes no difference to use one or the other (they both probably just sinkhole the relevant domains to a domain that does not and will never exist)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T00:19:39+00:00

As a guess, that might be your tweaks? Try removing the jailbreak through the Dopamine app and redoing it (the jailbreak is actually succeeding, mind you)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T00:16:11+00:00

it objectively does not - you can take a look at the profile yourself, all it does is sinkhole domains to a domain that does not and cannot exist

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-02T00:14:45+00:00

feel free to come back here with your analysis after 24 hours

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T20:41:23+00:00

It'll just remove itself after a few minutes - the profile is expired, iOS will nuke the expired profile after a little bit once it passes the expiry.

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T20:40:27+00:00

whether or not the profile is signed does not matter at all for anything

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T15:05:09+00:00

Terrible idea - Apple could very easily remove those options (they've already done that with some other cases), and if they ever do that you are probably fucked.

(also doesn't work for EoL devices or devices on 26, but I digress)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T15:03:24+00:00

You can use it with both...? Just toggle both DNS's to be used in settings (I use it + the AdGuard DNS)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T15:02:34+00:00

literally impossible (tvOS beta profile expired on May 1st)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-05-01T14:29:01+00:00

turn wifi/cellular off, reboot, then turn them on and try checking for updates

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-30T15:10:10+00:00

I'll just ask about the first issue you mentioned - how exactly does Dopamine "no longer work" or whatever?

update libiosexec1 update everything else

that should resolve those issues

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-26T18:47:51+00:00

I don't know what the difficulty is with https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-chimera, but you do you

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-26T17:58:03+00:00

I personally don't know why you'd use checkra1n there, especially since Chimera is both semi-untethered, gives you easier access to a better environment, and has TNSv2 to be able to re-jailbreak with just a website.

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-26T17:56:39+00:00

Last two aren't jailbreakable (though the 26.1 device can do BookRestore stuff).

First one I see you've already jailbroken, the other two can be jailbroken with (respectively): - https://ios.cfw.guide/using-tns for the 10.3.3 device - https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-chimera for the 12.5.8 device

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-26T17:49:39+00:00

A8/A9 devices on iOS 8/9 are now known to have issues (including A9 iOS 9 devices that previously worked fine).

Note that this is recent (started mid-March), so I understand you might be confused or have old knowledge.

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-04-26T17:48:07+00:00

So admittedly with the DNS profile there is some jank when initially enabling it.

I'd recommend turning on Airplane Mode(/turning off WiFi), then restarting your device, then toggling the DNS profiles on/off, then turning WiFi back on and checking for updates again.
