iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 were just released and Checkra1n Jailbreak version 0.11.0 supporting these latest Apple’s OS versions was released by the Checkra1n team right away.
The very first Checkra1n announcement was shared in Twitter on September 21 and was also followed by Todesco’s personal comment:
The main point of their statement is that Checkra1n is ready to jailbreak iOS 14, but it has some restrictions as yet. In other words, as at now, Checkra1n supports iOS 14 jailbreak only on the devices running on CPU A9(X) and older. Checkra1n team aims to also make jailbreak possible for later devices running on iOS 14 affected by Checkm8 Exploit. However, they need some more time as it looks like security mitigation was implemented by Apple for the purpose to make deployment of Checkm8 Exploit more difficult on the affected devices running in chips above A9(X).
The blog post quoted below contains the Checkr1n team’s explanation:
“In iOS 14, Apple added a new mitigation to SEPOS on A10 and above (except on Apple TVs and iBridge): if the device was booted from DFU mode and the Secure Enclave receives a request to decrypt user data, it will panic the device. Since checkm8 does not give us control over the Secure Enclave, this is not trivial to work around. However, with the recently published blackbird vulnerability, we are able to get control of the Secure Enclave on A10 and A10X and disable this mitigation. Support for A10 and A10X devices is being worked on and is expected to be ready in the coming weeks.”
The bottom line of this post is that Checkm8 Exploit can’t be patched anyway as it is a hardware level exploit. However, there is still something Apple can do and actually did in iOS 14. They have added bothersome security layers. This makes jailbreaking of newer devices updated to iOS 14 more difficult to accomplish for Checkra1n, but still not impossible. This explains why the Checkra1n team needs more time to do things right.
At the same time, the Checkra1n team did not indicate any specific time of deadline when their tool will be ready to jailbreak devices running on CPU above A9X. As they said in their statement, Checkra1n will be ready to jailbreak devices running on CPU 10 and 10(X) on iOS 14 within the coming weeks. As for devices running on CPU A11, like iPhone X, unfortunately, they are not sure yet how easy it will be to use the same patches with these devices.
Of course, this Checkra1n’s transparency related to iOS 14 challenges is much appreciated by users. It makes them feel involved and updated on the software development process and gives an overall picture of what is happening. Actually, no specific date statement was a good move allowing the Checkra1n team to take the time they need with no pressure. This way none’s expectations will be failed and the work will be done.
