1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,839
i've said this before even as an Android user there's no denying that iOS has got

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,840
a lot going for it the issue for me is that no matter how many times i try to

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:17,600
switch to it though i always find a couple of tiny things that apple refuses

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,680
to allow for whatever convoluted reason and it kind of ruins the experience for

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:25,760
me like in the control center a menu meant to give you quick access to common

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:30,880
settings you see the wi-fi and bluetooth toggles they don't even turn off their

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,440
respective radios anymore the toggle just closes any active connections until

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,040
apple deems that they should be turned back on and then how about the

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:45,039
unremovable notification shade on the lock screen that requires you to swipe

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,280
up every time you unlock the phone with face id instead of just dropping you on

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,440
the home screen which is probably where you want to be it's little things like this that drive

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:58,640
me up the wall so when i saw the epic

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,359
new jailbreak released for iOS 13.5 with

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:06,240
support for every iphone model that supports that version of iOS

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:11,119
i figured it was finally time after all these years to take jailbreaking out for

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,119
a spin speaking of spin spin open your wallet for a lot less with our sponsor

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,960
ting why pay for things you don't need or even use ting wants to help you with

18
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:25,080
that by getting you to pay for only the mobile data you use check it out at the

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,080
link below to find out more

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,439
going from now all the way back to the early days of iOS jailbreaking the main

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,840
reason people did it was to add or modify functionality that either wasn't

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,520
present in iOS or that apple didn't allow or want for example features like

23
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:52,479
the control center touch gestures and dark mode already existed as jailbreak

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,920
tweaks long before apple ever implemented them officially then there's

25
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,280
the people who jailbroke their devices to remove carrier restrictions remember

26
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,840
when you had to pay for mobile data tethering or to unlock a device so it

27
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,959
could be used with a different carrier another huge reason people jailbreak are

28
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,200
aesthetics and these kinds of mods are all over the place ranging from themes

29
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,080
like viola which reskins your menus and icons to a beautified control center

30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,480
with tweaks like prism or even apple watch style status icons on the lock

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,560
screen with a tweet called complications if you're like me and you prefer less

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,640
rather than more there's simple ls which can remove all the clutter from your

33
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:35,599
lock screen and then there's the taboo side of jailbreaking piracy many people

34
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:40,640
jailbreak their devices to get paid apps or services for free or to cheat in

35
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:45,920
mobile games now all this is super cool but

36
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,040
jailbreaking has been on the decline for many years due to slow jailbreak

37
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,560
releases for new os's instability and apple simply implementing many of the

38
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,879
features that people originally jailbroke their devices to get however

39
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,599
maybe because apple has been kind of sitting on their thumbs when it comes to iOS features for the last couple of

40
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:09,280
years things have been picking up again with speedy stable and easy jailbreaks

41
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,360
from the team behind the latest exploit uncover so how do you do it

42
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,640
first you'll need a compatible device you can see the full list of tested

43
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,800
devices over on uncover site but essentially every modern iphone is

44
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:25,440
supported all the way from iOS 11 to 13.5 please note by the way guys as of

45
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:30,319
the day we filmed this video apple released iOS 13.5.1

46
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,560
which patches this jailbreak if you're not already on 13.5 and you want to be

47
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,519
you can still update by downloading the update file from the link in the description and then shift-clicking the

48
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,360
update button in itunes note though that apple may stop signing

49
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,599
this version at any time making it impossible to update to it later if

50
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:50,280
you're already on iOS 13.5 do not update

51
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:54,959
to 13.5.1 or you will lose your ability to

52
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,080
jailbreak all right with that out of the way we're going to assume that you're

53
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:01,519
jailbreaking from a Windows computer but if you're on mac the process is

54
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,879
essentially the same so with the guidance from the uncover website and

55
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,040
the links below you should be able to jailbreak without issue start by

56
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:12,640
downloading itunes and icloud from apple's website if you have the

57
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:16,560
microsoft store versions of them you're going to have to uninstall those grab

58
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,840
the win32 versions and then give yourself one of these

59
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,240
forever touching the microsoft store in the first place next head over to the

60
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:29,280
uncover site and download and install alt server we're going to use this

61
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:33,040
software to self sign and then side load both the alt store and the uncover

62
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,759
jailbreak apps once it's installed plug in your iphone

63
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,919
trust the pc that you're plugged into and select your device under install alt

64
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,240
store in the alt server menu in your taskbar enter your apple id to authorize

65
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,800
the install and within a few seconds you should see it on your iOS home screen

66
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:55,199
now because this is what apple deems a self-signed app you'll need to navigate

67
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,040
into the device settings and authorize the app before you can run it

68
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,360
once it's running head over to the uncover jailbreak site on your phone and

69
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:07,199
click the open an alt store button if you're prompted re-enter your apple id

70
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,919
then alt store will install the uncover jailbreak app now you might notice

71
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:17,120
there's an expiry date on the apps this is because you self-signed the apps

72
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,600
with your own apple id and without an apple developer subscription the longest

73
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,840
you can sign an app is for seven days don't worry though because the alt store

74
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:30,080
guys thought of this so if you keep alt server running on your pc or mac the

75
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,479
store app will actually phone home to your system when you're on the same

76
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,080
network to renew those certifications if you do end up away from home for a while

77
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,479
though it's possible you might not get the automatic renewal meaning that if

78
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,479
your phone dies or is hard rebooted after that seven day period you might

79
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:51,120
have to reflash the apps or go without a jailbreak for a few days all right

80
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:55,840
disclaimer over now it's time to open up the uncover app and hit jailbreak

81
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,840
it'll do some stuff and then prompt you for a reboot click ok and then once the

82
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:04,639
device is booted again open uncover hit jailbreak again and it will reboot in a

83
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:10,160
jailbroken state with a brand new app called cydia that's it your jailbroken

84
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,440
cydia is what's known as a package manager

85
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,720
kind of like the underwear on ltteststore.com it handles installing

86
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:20,800
and updating any tweaks and themes that you want to install and it's kind of

87
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,600
like the app store but for jailbreak stuff

88
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,759
let's start with modding our device and fixing some of those issues that i've

89
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,919
been having with iOS it's worth noting that while cydia ships with lots of

90
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,479
default repositories many of the popular tweaks and themes are hosted on

91
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,720
third-party repos like packx or spark dev so we're going to add those first as

92
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,360
those hold the downloads for the tweaks that i wanted to add first i installed

93
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,280
snowboard which is a theming engine which allows you to actually apply the

94
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,800
viola theme that i mentioned earlier i then proceeded to install a bunch of

95
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,560
other tweaks namely swipe selection which re-adds that keyboard swiping to

96
00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:01,199
navigate text thing that was removed when 3d touch died auto unlock x which

97
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:06,080
allows us to skip the notification shade on unlock digital battery 13 to show the

98
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,800
battery percentage in the status bar and prism to beautify and add haptic

99
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,639
feedback to the iOS control center oh and since apple maps sucks the big one

100
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:20,560
we changed the default to google maps with a tweet called maps opener and the

101
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,520
crazy part is that that is just the tip

102
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:28,720
of the iceberg if you have a grievance with iOS there is probably one of the

103
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:33,120
hundreds of other super useful quality of life improving tweaks that are out

104
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,880
there that is going to help you so we've included a link to a reddit post that

105
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,800
lists a ton of them for your tinkering pleasure if you guys are looking for

106
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,680
more apple content hey maybe check out our review of the latest macbook pro

you sign up and actually if you enjoy this kind of like uh hacking phone stuff

119
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,959
maybe check out our video where we compared uh rooting an old Android phone

120
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:40,560
versus buying a used iphone

121
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:46,480
people got mad about some aspects of that video but i still thought it was good

122
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:52,160
not fair comparison we never said it was and we never like glorified Android

123
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,160
rooting it's like kind of messy
