Resolved unc0ver 5 and iOS 12.4.7

[bogdanw]

I've heard the new unc0ver 5 is supposed to jailbreak iOS 12.4.7, anybody tried it yet? What's working and what's not working?
https://www.unc0ver.dev
"unc0ver supports iOS 11.0 through to iOS 13.5 (Excluding 12.3-12.3.2 and 12.4.2-12.4.5)"

On my iPhone 6 plus with 12.4.7 the app says "0/32 Unsupported"

for those doesn't have apple paid developer account (needed for cydia impactor), using Xcode with free apple developer works very well with no issues for me.

I dont have a mac to do this with tho
I had to use altstore

Cydia Impactor didn't work, so I installed unc0ver-v5.0.0.ipa with AltDeploy https://github.com/pixelomer/AltDeploy/
but unc0ver shows the same Unsupported message on an iPhone 6 with iOS 12.4.7.
We will probably have to wait for v5.0.1 or later.

I hope they fix this otherwise this iphone is going back to storage bins in my attic

Meanwhile I contacted the devs at unc0ver for this, let's wait for their reply I guess

v5.0.1 was released, but it displays the same "Unsupported" message.

For 12.4.7 use Checkra1n jailbreak. I've just tried on my old iphone 6 12.4.7 and it works.

 

[bogdanw]

checkra1n is semi-tethered, unc0ver is semi-untethered https://www.redmondpie.com/unc0ver-vs-checkra1n-ios-13.5-jailbreak-comparison/

Yes but is still jailbreak
Uncover is not working with 12.4.7 I've tried

So did we, since Sunday. But I prefer a jailbreak solution that doesn't require to connect my iPhone to a computer every time I reboot it.

 

[lorecast162]

Agreed, went the same route but having to reapply jailbreak everytime isn't the part of the experience I wanted to remember from the old days

 

[bogdanw]

As security updates were released for iOS 13.5.1, iPadOS 13.5.1, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and macOS Catalina 10.15.5, but not for iOS 12.4.7 and macOS Mojave, we can assume that the latter are not vulnerable to the unc0ver exploit. So, no unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12.4.7.

Just a clarification. You do not need to connect iphone to a computer after reboot. It would work fine in a non jailbroken state.

The reason I am clarifying is because i thought a few days back that i would computer just to reboot. But thats not the case.

Yes, it was nicely explained in the page I posted above:

Checkra1n is a “semi-tethered” jailbreak, meaning that each and every time the device is rebooted, or turned off and back on, it needs to be connected to a computer in order for it to get back into a jailbroken state. It’s worth noting that it can still be used as a normal “non-jailbroken” device.
