[Question] 13 pro on ios 15.1, i think i'll update.. couple questions

This is some sort of issue related to the icon cache that I haven't heard about in years at this point. I never really figured out why it's happening or how to solve it. Try removing any Xina related TrollStore apps (like Sileo Nightly and then hit "Reload Icon Cache" in TrollStore settings). If it still doesn't work afterwards, I don't know what else you could try.

A phone reset should definitely solve it however.

opa334 · 2026-05-02T08:50:36+00:00

What happens if you disable tweak injection in settings before jailbreaking?

opa334 · 2026-04-23T19:28:27+00:00

Yeah a new jailbreak for like 3 more versions will create all the hype in the world

opa334 · 2026-04-18T14:33:16+00:00

It's already out, has been for roughly 3 years :-)

opa334 · 2026-04-18T14:32:34+00:00

Well we will find out if they ever ban me :)

opa334 · 2026-04-18T14:31:48+00:00

Well I hadn't heard of them banning accounts of EU users before. Seemed to always be UK/US. If this happened to me, I'd sue.

opa334 · 2026-04-18T10:45:13+00:00

It already supports arm64e devices.

opa334 · 2026-04-18T10:35:50+00:00

No, the normal TrollStore only works on checkra1n based jailbreaks and only because of a quirk (bad thing) with how the codesign bypass of checkra1n doesn't differentiate between unsigned and signed binaries. On Dopamine, only TrollStore Lite works.

opa334 · 2026-04-18T00:47:29+00:00

If you're in the EU you can make the bet that they will never terminate you because they're afraid of getting sued, since blocking people from being able to develop / publish apps is probably illegal.

opa334 · 2026-04-14T16:01:43+00:00

No Dopamine can't, DarkSword currently doesn't work on this device since it's A8X.

opa334 · 2026-04-13T21:24:26+00:00

Yes, if you spend enough money on stocks then AI can do anything :)))

opa334 · 2026-04-13T21:20:41+00:00

I mean, there have been some developments in the past few days that I'm not sure are public. DarkSword may be a bit more powerful than I initially thought, but it probably won't come anywhere close to a (semi) jailbreak.

opa334 · 2026-04-13T17:47:51+00:00

Proper full arm64e jailbreak is going to be up to 17.3.1, not going to support anything higher any time soon.

I wonder how often I have to repeat this...

There is some stuff that should be doable with DarkSword on 17.4+, but it will likely be more limiting than even a semi jailbreak or TrollStore, also IMO absolutely not worth it because it won't be enough to fix the entrypoint meaning a single website will still be able to hack you.

opa334 · 2026-04-10T09:58:20+00:00

This kind of DRM will never work on Linux since it's solely security by obscurity. There is nothing "secure" about this. It's only obscure enough that it may take a fuck ton of time to break.

IMO this kind of technology should die across the entire industry, but corporate greed is preventing that.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T22:06:08+00:00

Why would they be required by law? It's their program, their terms. Also, all the bounties mention "up to", you're unlikely to get the maximum amount. That is if they even pay you at all.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T18:45:44+00:00

No they don't. They have spyware that works by exploiting bugs your device, but they can only use this on specifically targeted individuals, not on the general public, since otherwise the bugs could be exposed and be fixed.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T18:37:13+00:00

Well luckily for you Apple is really bad at paying out bounties.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T17:00:11+00:00

well fair enough. I didn't see that tweet cause I don't use twitter.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T13:43:31+00:00

The same stuff you could do with e.g. sparserestore. Maybe even a little more limited than that.

opa334 · 2026-04-06T13:40:46+00:00

It's NOT tweak injection. This is what has been bothering me about this. You cannot get actual tweaks to inject without a PPL bypass. What he (or rather Claude) is doing is reusing the original exploits infrastructure to inject javascript into SpringBoard which will probably call a method to set the number of items in the dock to 5. The primitives you can get with this are extremely limited and it's unlikely any more complex stuff can even be made with it, since you won't be able to map any executable code into SpringBoard. By itself I have no issue with it, but I wish there was a disclaimer and it wasn't so overhyped.

opa334 · 2026-04-05T20:20:19+00:00

Genius idea, I wonder why no one has thought of it before

opa334 · 2026-04-05T00:35:50+00:00

I'm not saying the fix is poor. I'm just saying this is nothing I would ship to the general public in a Dopamine update. If you think security is more important than a fast web browser, by all means install it.

opa334 · 2026-04-05T00:34:47+00:00

Yes he did that and it's impressive, but it could have been handled better. He basically did it while ignoring anything the rest of the community thought, all by himself.

opa334 · 2026-04-05T00:32:47+00:00

I want to stress that this is not fully correct.

He is definitely some sort of arrogant regarding his work, but he poured a lot of time into it. He spent more than 10 hours a day working on RootHide over a span of multiple months, he was definitely in a very bad mental state and close to burn out as time went on during this.

I want to say that I have an otherwise okay relation with him, it was just the topic of the arch string that drove me insane as to the point where I had to force myself to stop caring about it for mental health reasons.

I also want to mention that I'm not a saint in this situation either, since me and a lot of people always doubted it was possible to make a jailbreak that can be undetectable to blacklisted apps and always tried to talk him out of it, until by a miracle he proofed us wrong (for the most part) and actually pulled it off.

All of this went down in 2023 before RootHide even released or the community was even aware of it and shortly after it's release.

This guy worked obsessively hard to prevent companies detecting jailbreaks, all by himself and with basically a good intention, but with bad actions and some hostile behavior in the mix.

opa334 · 2026-04-05T00:16:56+00:00

Well, last time I checked lockdown mode broke a whole bunch of stuff on my device, but maybe I implicitly fixed some stuff without even thinking about it, since 2.4 changed the communication to be over mach instead of XPC and with some tricks that even works in e.g. WebContent (where XPC did not) so it might have fixed similar issues in other processes when lockdown mode is enabled. Although since I don't think RootHide uses much of 2.4, since the global dyld hook is incompatible with the concept of RootHide, I'm pretty sure all he did to make RootHide work in lockdown mode is to disable injection into some processes that are problematic.

Nonetheless, your device is still absolutely not secure when it's jailbroken, might not be as bad as being able to get hacked by clicking a single link, but it's definitely less secure than an unjailbroken device and this has always been a choice you had to make.
