Checkra1n Jailbreak for iOS 14 on iPhone & iPad

Apple released their iOS 14 and the Checkra1n team has already released their new Checkra1n app version supporting this latest version of the operating systems.

The bottom line of the statement is that Checkra1n version 0.11.0 supports iOS 14, however, with certain restrictions so far. The restriction is that Checkra1n jailbreak supports only devices running on A9(X) processor or older. The plan of the Checkra1n team is to make jailbreak possible for newer devices on iOS 14 affected by Checkm8 Exploit. But this endeavor requires more time and effort because it looks like Apple implemented a security mitigation to make Checkm8 exploit deployment more difficult on affected devices above A9(X).

The Checkra1n team explained this situation in the following blog post:

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.

This says that since Checkm8 exploit is a hardware level exploit, it can’t be patched. At the same time, there is something that Apple can do about it. They can add up bothersome security layers and this is what they did in iOS14. This way, jailbreaking with Checkra1n on newer devices updated to iOS 14 becomes more difficult to do, but still possible. This is the reason why the Checkra1n team needs more time to make it work.

The Checkra1n team did not declare any specific release date when their jailbreak tool will support devices above A9 (X). They said that support of iOS 14 devices running on chips A10 and A10 (X) is an affair of “the coming weeks”. Sadly, the team is not sure yet how easy it will be to make the same patches applicable to the devices running on A11 chips, like iPhone X.

No doubt, we do appreciate the transparency demonstrated by Checkra1n team in regards to iOS 14 support issues and it certainly deserves the praise. This way, they keep their followers updated on the software development which, in turn, gives us the better understanding of the “backstage”. The truth is that no specific date statement was a wise thing to do as none’s expectations will be disappointed and they will have all the time they need to cope with the challenges they face.
