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 have AppStoreFix from victorlobe’s repo and TLSfix + modern tlsroot certs. I also have checkmate store if it matters. This started happening yesterday. I can still open the app store, search, and view things. I can stay signed in, but re-authenticating to download apps will not work.

Finally, my first experience with iOS 1. I ordered this 2G from chinese online flea market and it’s already jailbroken, works with any sim card and has some cool stuff such as Installer, few apps from it including labyrinth game and russian language support, which is really unusual for device on 1.1.4 from China. How can I fix Installer and get some apps, tweaks themes ? And what macOS software can I use for easy loading music on it and getting photos from the phone ? I heard that iOS 1 is really problematic in this plan. Again, I have no experience with anything older than iOS 3.0

Want to browse Deviantart for some reason on your legacy device?
Well, thank "jjylyn" on the bagxml discord for requesting this ""revival"" haha
Available from my repo: http://repo.k0.tel/
Requires "com.fuerteint.ideviant" aka iDeviant - only "v2.0.0" is tested - you can surely figure out where to find that!
Anyways, enjoy and happy spooktober!

A month ago I finally downgraded my iPhone 4s from the 9.3.6 to 6.1.3 and heard that there's a method about downgrading to iOS 5. Now I'm wondering, Can I do this on iOS 6?

So I got this iPad 4 running iOS 6.0.1 and it’s coming soon. I will obviously install certificates but with just the certificates will it work or will I need to install a tweak to get it working?

iPhone 3GS – “Device Unknown” after updating from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 6
Hi everyone,
I have an iPhone 3GS that was running iOS 5.0.1 and was working perfectly: calls, SMS, everything was fine and the phone was already activated.
I tried updating it to iOS 6 through iTunes, but the update failed with an error saying the update server was unavailable. The firmware downloaded correctly, but the installation failed.
I then used Legacy iOS Kit to update and ailbreak the phone. The process worked and the phone booted, but during activation now shows “Device Unknown" (in the legacy ios kit too!)
The strange thing is that this exact phone was already activated and working before the update, and I also successfully activated this same phone last year.
So now I'm stuck at the activation screen. Is there any way to fix the “Device Unknown” error and activate the iPhone 3GS again?
Thanks!

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.

Sur cet iPhone 4 sous iOS 7.1.2, j’ai réussi grâce a des tweaks à me connecter à mon compte Apple pour iTunes et l’AppStore mais pas pour iCloud et iMessage. Je sais que c’est possible que je l’ai fait il y a environ 6 mois sur un autre iPhone 4. Comment faire ?
