I'm semi new to JB (I jailbroke on iOS 4 and this past year on iOS 9) and I have a few questions.. some I'm just looking for opinions on as I know no one knows when a stable JB will happen or if it will be for 10.1.1 or 10.2. No need to remind me no one knows, just looking for opinions on anything related to that.. like a "what would you do?" Type thing.
I have an iPad Pro 9.7 inch that is unfortunately on 10.2. My phone is a 6Plus. My 6+ is jail broken on 9.0.2. I'd LOVE to get my phone to iOS 10 for its features and to get a more stable version of the music app/Apple Music. But I know that's not going to happen right now. The only tweaks i care about on my phone are the Snapchat tweaks like phantom and ++Snapchat. Someone in this thread mentioned that these things can be sideloaded. Again, I don't use visual tweaks at all. I've never sideloaded. Is this somewhat safe to do on a non jail broken phone? If so I'd like to upgrade my phone to 10.2 (since that's All I can JB too obviously) for all the new iOS 10 stuff and then just sideload the Snapchat tweaks that I need/want. Is this a viable option? Where can I find info on sideloading? I have am iPad Air 1 that's jail broke on 9.3.3 that I'm happy to leave there since I have the pro on 10.2. Plus I have kodi on it which I use often. Can someone help me, guide me, or give me suggestions? The ideal situation would be for me to upgrade my iPhone 6+ to 10.2, sideload the Snapchat tweaks, then if and when a 10.2 jailbreak ever happens, rejailbreak it then. Does this make sense to anyone?
Well, from what I've read and all the chaos that blew up on jailbreak Reddit, snapchat updated their 3rd party detection to be much more aggressive. Very slim possibility of a side loaded version. I think the jailbreak version was finally updated to combat the issue after almost 3 weeks
Would it have been better if Luca didn't release anything at last month, kept quiet, and just waited until he had a stable JB release in a few weeks or month from now, and then just release it once ?
Or by releasing an early build, is he hoping developers can at least update their tweaks and and get stuff working behind the scenes, so when he does release the stable build, most the Cydia tweaks will already be updated and working on iOS 10 ?
Considering iOS 10.2 was already out, it was only a matter of time before iOS 10.1.1 stopped being signed. I think if he kept quiet, many people would've just updated to 10.2
First part, correct, it has no priority.
Second part, self invented rumor for Pangu as Pangu rarely gives out information and nothing was said by them.
Especially Reddit is rampant with wild speculation.
Patience.... and never rush with jailbreaks, for instance I held off because all too uncertain and looked like semi-tether again, also longtime posters like AJ were hesitant, if the regulars here are confident and are updating then it is time.
I'm glad I stayed on 9.3.3. I was uncertain about the 10.1.1 jailbreak (since it was just words at the time and I was iffy about whether it was real or just Reddit hype). I probably would've updated to 10.1.1 if the beta jailbreak was released at that time. Heard about Prometheus not too long after and definitely thought 9.3.3 was the better option for those currently jailbroken
But now that Prometheus is released and we find out Touch ID doesn't work because of SEP and firmware mismatch, looks like I'm staying on 9.3.3 for now. I just hope apps don't start becoming iOS 10+ requirement!
