Checkra1n Jailbreak 0.12.2 Released With Bug Fixes, USB Support for Apple TV 4K


The checkra1n jailbreak has been updated to fix a couple bugs and enable USB support on the Apple TV 4K.

Checkra1n supports iPhone 5s through iPhone X but full iOS 14 support for newer devices is still being worked on. Users on A11 devices can disable BPR to jailbreak but that is not recommended.

This release is a beta preview and as such should not be installed on a primary devices

What’s new


Highlighted changes
Enables USB on AppleTV 4k during normal system operation


Bug fixes
Fixes A10 and A10X devices crashing when trying to jailbreak on iOS 14.3 or higher
Fixes an issue where some LaunchDaemons were loaded on platforms where they should not have been


Notes
A11 devices on iOS 14.0 and above require removing the passcode and enabling “Skip A11 BPR check” in the options. This is not recommended, but it’s there.
