I love how jailbreaking became more and more a community effort. Every one adds that little piece of the puzzle that he/she can/wants to do and at the end everyone profit from all the collab work :D Here are stable iOS 15.1.1 kernel read/write :)

Finally had a chance to play around with the iOS 15.1 exploit. That thing really did all the hard work already. There is one tiny thing that i need to figure out and modify, then getting stable kernel r/w is super simple. Then it’s just cleanup really

Random fact: There was an iOS 7 jailbreak which would bootlop the device while in the dark, because the light sensor would then cause the heap layout be different than what was expected. One fix was to put your phone under a lamp while booting

To downgrade to iOS 1.0 you need to: - Restore to 3.1.3 - Restore 1.1.4 twice (will fail once waiting on NAND and once fail on Baseband) - Erase baseband with Ziphone - Restore 1.1.4 (successfull this time) - Restore 1.0
