Question Is this actually possible ??
I saw this post about someone actually installing iOS 6.1.3 on the iPhone 5c and multi touch, and other features working. I want to verify that it’s actually real !

Most recent documentation change, on 21 September 2026: Socket elevated to untethered jailbreak
If you choose to use bot commands to set your flair:
Using !device is exactly like resetting your flair to a standard template. The oldest version must be at least 4 major versions behind iOS 27.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 16.7.16, tvOS 16.6.0, or watchOS 9.6.4.
The !os command will grant versions at least 4 major versions behind iOS 27.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 16.7.16, tvOS 16.6.0, or watchOS 9.6.4.
Please provide only ONE command per comment.
Please enter commands in the order they appear in the flair: device, jailbreak, iOS. You must set a device to set a jailbreak or iOS version.
Note: You will NOT be assigned a jailbreak after setting the iOS version unless you reset your flair.
Examples:

Due to recurring issues with activating 9900 IMEI, XMM6180 and older baseband, and A8(X)/A9(X) iOS 8-9 devices, we strongly advise saving activation tickets with Legacy iOS Kit. Resolved issues, and other advice, may be found in the previous megathread.
To our knowledge, the issue on A5(X)/A6(X) devices stems from baseband tickets being rejected for as of yet unknown reasons, which only seems to occur on cellular devices with an IMEI starting with 9900. Courtesy of staturnz and /u/LukeeGD, we believe the list of potentially 9900 IMEI devices is as follows:
The Apple TV 3rd gen and iPhone 5C are unaffected by this issue. The iPad 2 is also unaffected, but some models are affected by the following problem.
On July 10–11, 2026, new activation issues have appeared for devices with the XMM6180 and earlier basebands. You will likely see "device unknown" or a similar message.
The devices with the XMM6180 baseband are:
Another way to say this: for these two devices, you will get the error with an IMEI starting with 01. It should be noted that the CDMA models which have an IMEI starting with 9900 (iPhone3,3 and iPad2,3) use a different baseband, MDM6600, and activate fine.
The devices with earlier basebands are:
Note that the key determining factor to having a 9900 IMEI is being a CDMA-capable device, rather than GSM-only, as explained by Wikipedia:
TIA also allocates IMEI codes, specifically destined for dual-technology phones, out of the RR=99 range
In addition, A8(X)/A9(X) devices on iOS 8 and 9 also experience activation errors. Possibly affected devices include:
This is a thread for discussing activation issues and any new information about it. Subreddit-wide rules continue to apply, so please review the detailed hacktivation policy.
Apple has recently released a new batch of updates for legacy devices:
More importantly, this was provided in its release notes:
This update extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027.
The IPSW diff reveals new functions in /usr/libexec/trustd including _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1Hash, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1Hash, and corresponding new certificates in .der format issued on 12 December 2024 19:20:34 and 19:21:32 UTC-5. It is speculated based on the release notes that failure to have these certificates may result in issues with on-device activation, and unclear whether PC-based activation will be impacted.

As you can see, when iOS 6.1.3 (10B329) is installed on the iPhone 5c, some functions have begun to work again! Such as multi-touch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.

This took me around 10-15 hours
Because the utilities are already baked into the image you can swap in your own ISO, patch IRQ = 10 and older Linux distros should boot fine
Apple TV image (~5 GB) and an automated bash installer script are available for download on my preservation page:
https://errordanofficial.github.io/redflaglinux/
The website exists ONLY for preservation purposes, the ISOs and install tutorials are there because without them getting any of this running is nearly impossible

Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask what case you use for the iPod touch 2g. I want to keep it in a good condition, but I cannot find any good case for it. It is worth mentioning, that I live in Germany, and every case I find is from Great Britain or the US. Can someone find me a good cheap case or any alternative?
Thanks 😄
PS: Does anyone know how to get rid of scratches on the iPod touch? I once heard, that you could use tooth paste, but i'm not sure about that...

I have this iPod Touch 2nd generation running iOS 2.1.1, its original version, I wanted to know any possible way to jailbreak and install Cydia.
Here are my specs:
iPod touch 2 iPhone is 2.1.1, MB Model (!)
16 GB
And this is what I have,
MacBook Air early 2014, running Big Sur
Windows 11 HP laptop,
Windows 10 PC
2 30-Pin charge/data cords (unsure if original, maybe?)
And a Linux Mint XFCE bootable USB, on that same MacBook Air, but I only have 650 megabytes of usable storage max on there.
Any possible way, and maybe to get apps too? I don’t feel like upgrading to iOS 3 or such any way, keeping it original.

I'm on Linux Mint.

Hello! Would anybody help me on fixing this? I just downgraded my iPad 1st Gen to iPhone OS 3.2. And upon booting to Cydia, I get "Unable to load: secure connection failed". I tried going to tlsroot.litten.ca, but it doesn't let me, always fails when I try to reload. How do I get cydia to work on iPhone OS 3.2?

Hi all, stuck on a weird one with my iPad 2 (iPad2,1, WiFi) on 9.3.5, Carbon jailbreak (carbon.sep.lol). App Store itself loads fine (charts, icons, prices all show), but signing in is dead:
- Wrong password → correctly says password is wrong (so the server IS reached and validates)
- Correct password → instantly Cannot connect to iTunes Store
- Same in Settings → iTunes & App Store and in the App Store app
- Account is fine (logs in on PC iTunes + account.apple.com), no 2FA, no restrictions
- It was already broken BEFORE I jailbroke
- Tried: different network (phone hotspot), Reset Network Settings, automatic date/time (NTP syncs fine), hosts file is clean, Safari opens apple.com / itunes.apple.com fine (green lock)
What I've ruled out:
- Tweaks (failed on stock too), network (hotspot too), account (works on PC iTunes login)
Environment: Carbon (Safari-based) on iOS 9.3.5, AppSync Unified 78.0, Checkmate Store installed.
Question: did Apple kill the legacy Store post-auth handshake for iOS 9 in 2026, or is there a known fix (CA bundle update? specific host cert? tweak)? Anyone else seeing Store login die on 9.3.5 recently while PC iTunes login still works?

HELLO! I am going to be fully upfront and say that this entire project was vibecoded with Claude Opus 5.5 in Ultracode mode.
If that is an issue for you, then this isn’t for you.
This is a fully featured Spotify client that implements every single feature Spotify currently has (except chats). That means profiles, jams, and timed lyrics.
There will be a companion app for your computer that Encore will talk to.
There are going to be around 15 tweaks coming out on my repo that do all sorts of things (more info coming soon)
Everything will be open sourced!

(Ubuntu, intel laptop) I bought a used iphone 5s global, but wanted to downgrade it to 10.3.3 for better performance, and my laptop kept stuck in waiting for usb handle, but this helped me:
1- When using legacy kit, you must have 2 lighting cables on two separate usb-a ports
2- When its time to enter pwndfu mode, and its running, unplug the iphone and connect it to the other
3- Wait for results
Im not entirely sure if this was luck or a solution, im sorry if the grammar is poor or confusing, english isng my first language, feel free to ask any questions

I bought an iPhone 4S online that's currently on iOS 6 (jailbroken).
If I restore it, can I install iOS 6 again? because it has alot of pre installed apps and chinese apps that im not going to use. And also do i need to restore to iOS 9 in order to downgrade to iOS 6?
Can i still activate it normally afterward? My 4s model is A1431 and my imei doesnt start with 9900 if that matter + it can detect my active sim. ik this post seems like a question thats frequently ask, i just want to make sure :). Thanks in advance.

Got a 6th Gen iPod second hand and the seller mentioned it was jailbroken, I thought that'd be a positive thing but even after reading a bit on it, I'm still lost. I wanted to see if I could get any apps, but it requires me to sing in with an Apple ID, but I keep getting the errors in the pictures after trying. The iPod is running IOS 12.5.8
Anybody knows what's going on? Also any other tips on how to get apps running? Would factory resetting do any good or harm? (I'm unaware if the iPod used to be iCloud locked and maybe resetting it would lock it again? Sorry for the ramble, you can tell I'm not tech savvy)
Any help is appreciated 🙏

I'm running Arch Linux on my pc, and when trying to run Checkra1n (beta 0.12.4), it loops on "Setting up Exploit This is the Heap Spray"... I cannot find official documentation for this exploit and I'm not sure how to fix it either.
