iPhone Is iOS 9.3.1 jailbreakable?

I can do that with the stock OS, if you have a mac, you can use Messages on your mac to send/receive text messages on your phone. I suppose you have to have a compatible mac to be able to do that. I think the "Cut off" is a late 2011 MacBook, not sure about iMac/MacPro. If your mac is NOT compatible, you might be able to "hack" it with Continuity Activation Tool, you can find much info about this on another area of MAcRumors.

I have three Macs that can't do this. :D

A 2001 PowerMac G4.
A 2003 17" PowerBook G4.
And a 2006 17" MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard max)

Remote Messages running on my phone and a Fluid app (PowerPC version) on my Macs makes this as close as possible to the Messages app for me. :D

Sorry, meant for the Windows desktop. I do have that for my Mac, and that makes me want it more for my Win laptop as it's so convenient. I have to use a Win laptop for most of my work.

Noob question, is there a reason why the latest JB was only for 64bit devices? :confused:

Along with agreeing with eyoungren's statement I'll also add another possibility that most of Apple's devices that run 9.1 are 64-bit so if it were a low level exploit, the developer may not have wanted to focus their attention on 32-bit devices, and hence one of the many reasons jailbreaking tools went open source. There is a difference, for instance 32-bit devices use Int32 (or a 32 bit signed integer in the +-2 billions) or UInt32 (an Unsigned integer with no negative values but a positive range of 4 billion) 64 bit devices use Int64 and UInt64 which the signed integer is +-9 quintillion (quadrillion, trillion, billion, million...etc) and the unsigned integer is upwards of 18 quintillion with no negative values.

If it were a low level hack there would have to be two versions of it or some conditional logic added to support 32 bit devices.
 
Hey guys

I'm still running iOS 9.3.1 but not sure wether to update to 9.3.2

I am dying to jailbreak again but still can't find a jail break for 3.1 or 3.2 any advice or anyone know a jail break yet?
 
No jailbrake or option to do anything to get you to an iOS that can be jailbroken I'm afraid.

The rule of general thumb is whatever version of iOS you're on currently, to stand pat if you hope to JB it someday.

Because if you need to be on the latest and greatest iOS to JB, it's easy enough to do. But if you need to be on a past version of iOS to JB , you definitely don't want to chance overshooting the mark.

So since the last JB was for 9.1, I'd try to keep my phone no later than 9.2 if you can.

Also you can follow the last Twitter/etc to see news on what version of iOS the hackers are working on as well.

...Others used it to enable tethering, then AT&T started monitoring for tethered devices and updated your plan for you, which negated that tweak...

This is the number 1 reason I still jailbreak to this day. I lost my jailbreak a few months ago but I never got pinged by AT&T. Perhaps because I've never gone above 20G of usage at any given time. I only used the tethering feature while traveling or out of WiFi shots (very few).

Well from my understanding, AT&T started monitoring it and if a second device was found on your cellular connection they would automatically change your bill to include tethering, this was back in 2011? At that point I was only relying on what is now Control Center.

Well i am tired of waiting for one so i have a question. I use the hot spot so no need for a JB for me since i am on a shared data pack it is fine to run it.

But i miss my TVMC Kodi on my Ipad air 2. I know people said about side load or something but is there a easy way to get it on the Ipad air 2 easy without JB? thanks

well sort of. i can send imessages but not 'greens' nor make/receive calls on my iphone because it is on a MVNO network and it fails to activate 'facetime' (known limitation). is there a jailbreak hack that fixes this? (im on 9.0.1 jb)
