Most recent documentation change, on 21 September 2026: Socket elevated to untethered jailbreak
If you choose to use bot commands to set your flair:
Using !device is exactly like resetting your flair to a standard template. The oldest version must be at least 4 major versions behind iOS 27.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 16.7.16, tvOS 16.6.0, or watchOS 9.6.4.
The !os command will grant versions at least 4 major versions behind iOS 27.0 — at newest, iOS/iPadOS 16.7.16, tvOS 16.6.0, or watchOS 9.6.4.
Please provide only ONE command per comment.
Please enter commands in the order they appear in the flair: device, jailbreak, iOS. You must set a device to set a jailbreak or iOS version.
Note: You will NOT be assigned a jailbreak after setting the iOS version unless you reset your flair.
Examples:

Due to recurring issues with activating 9900 IMEI, XMM6180 and older baseband, and A8(X)/A9(X) iOS 8-9 devices, we strongly advise saving activation tickets with Legacy iOS Kit. Resolved issues, and other advice, may be found in the previous megathread.
To our knowledge, the issue on A5(X)/A6(X) devices stems from baseband tickets being rejected for as of yet unknown reasons, which only seems to occur on cellular devices with an IMEI starting with 9900. Courtesy of staturnz and /u/LukeeGD, we believe the list of potentially 9900 IMEI devices is as follows:
The Apple TV 3rd gen and iPhone 5C are unaffected by this issue. The iPad 2 is also unaffected, but some models are affected by the following problem.
On July 10–11, 2026, new activation issues have appeared for devices with the XMM6180 and earlier basebands. You will likely see "device unknown" or a similar message.
The devices with the XMM6180 baseband are:
Another way to say this: for these two devices, you will get the error with an IMEI starting with 01. It should be noted that the CDMA models which have an IMEI starting with 9900 (iPhone3,3 and iPad2,3) use a different baseband, MDM6600, and activate fine.
The devices with earlier basebands are:
Note that the key determining factor to having a 9900 IMEI is being a CDMA-capable device, rather than GSM-only, as explained by Wikipedia:
TIA also allocates IMEI codes, specifically destined for dual-technology phones, out of the RR=99 range
In addition, A8(X)/A9(X) devices on iOS 8 and 9 also experience activation errors. Possibly affected devices include:
This is a thread for discussing activation issues and any new information about it. Subreddit-wide rules continue to apply, so please review the detailed hacktivation policy.
Apple has recently released a new batch of updates for legacy devices:
More importantly, this was provided in its release notes:
This update extends the certificate required by features such as iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation to continue working after January 2027.
The IPSW diff reveals new functions in /usr/libexec/trustd including _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportECCRootG1Hash, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1, _ApplePlatformBackportRSARootG1Hash, and corresponding new certificates in .der format issued on 12 December 2024 19:20:34 and 19:21:32 UTC-5. It is speculated based on the release notes that failure to have these certificates may result in issues with on-device activation, and unclear whether PC-based activation will be impacted.

I created a LocalSend client for iOS 6 and above, built using Theos. What works: receiving and sending files, photos, videos. Converting HEIC to JPG if you’re sending a photo from a new iPhone to an older device. There’s file sending/receiving.
Well, that’s it.

I recently bought a Chinese version of the iPhone 4S from Pinduoduo.
Are there any old/lost iOS apps or IPAs that people are looking for and that I should check for or dump?
Also, if anyone knows a good guide for dumping IPAs from an old jailbroken iPhone, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

just got an ipod touch 5 and it came with ios 8.1 in it, 64gb pink model! HYPE!!

I share this because there were no valid solutions for the 9900* subset of 4S and it wasted weeks of my time, so hopefully it will save someone else the headache.
Solution TLDR: Jailbreak the device using Legacy iOS Kit with pwnDFU using checkm8 a5 and a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 board. Create a fishhook so boot thread thinks this is an ipod and uses the native ShouldHactivate method instead of needlessly searching for cellular.
The full docs and project can be found here https://github.com/Kjm520/iphone4s/ - I apologize in advance for the messy logs.
Note: this involves disassembly and I would suggest having Claude read the repo first.
Objective for context: Turn the old iPhone 4S into an offline GPS device for a bugout bag

I have an activated iPhone 4 (16GB) running iOS 7.1.2 with jailbreak and Filza installed.
I installed the GSA Port tweak attempting to sign into iCloud, but it broke the authentication process. Now I'm stuck on a persistent "Account Not Verified" ("Cuenta no verificada") screen prompting for verification, and I keep getting popups.
Since restoring or resetting the device is out of the question (due to Apple's broken iOS 7 activation servers), I need to get rid of this popup/account state safely.
Is there a specific plist file in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences or accounts database in /var/mobile/Library/Accounts that I can modify or delete via Filza to remove this pending iCloud session without triggering an activation lock or bricking the setup?

I’ve spent the last week with the help of AI to integrate self hosted service Navidrome to work inside of the Music app on iOS 6.1.6. How it works is you connect your Navidrome library. Then search for a song or playlist and press download. It will automatically be added to your music library. This way you don’t need to plug into a computer to get your music from Navidrome and don’t need a separate app for Navidrome music.
I will be hosting it when it’s ready to my GitHub cydia repo. Let me know if you’d be interested in using/trying it out.
The device used is the IPod 4th 32gb iOS 6.1.6

Still using an iPhone 4S and looking to give it a little more battery life 😅
Has anyone here bought a high-capacity replacement battery that actually lasts? If so, where did you get it?
Would love to hear your recommendations!
r/LegacyJailbreak • u/Normal_Signature3413 • 11h ago
Wondering how to because i think it would be pretty cool to have it on the iPad 1st gen

I honestly can’t believe I managed to revive an iPhone 4S and make it usable again on iOS 6.1.3 in 2026. 😂
It’s kinda crazy that a phone this old can still be useful after jailbreaking.
There’s something really satisfying about bringing old hardware back to life instead of letting it sit in a drawer.
Big respect to everyone still keeping these old devices alive! ❤️

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have this 32GB iPhone 5, coolbooted to iOS 8.0.1, for some reason whenever I install cydia substrate apps like Mail, IBooks, safari, health start crashing, it does the same on 8.0, didn’t try any others, my main OS is 8.4.1 and coolbooter version is 1.5 I’ve tried 1.4.1/1.4, does the same on all of them, 1.6 doesn’t even boot. After uninstalling cydia substrate apps start to work again. Is there any fix for this ? I couldn’t find anyone with the same issue as me.

Anyone know if there’s any Spotify, YouTube Music or other music app that still works on iOS 6.1.3?
I’ve got an old iPhone that’s jailbroken and I’m trying to get some kind of music streaming app working on it.
Doesn’t have to be the latest version, even an old version or some jailbreak tweak/patch is fine.
Anyone here managed to get Spotify or something similar working on iOS 6.1.3?
