The brand-new checkra1n jailbreak tool for macOS and soon Windows is a prime example of a semi-tethered jailbreak, and can pwn A7-Aequipped devices as old as the iPhone 5s and as new as the iPhone X. A semi-untethered jailbreak app can be side-loaded over a physical cable connection from a computer via the Cydia Impactor program or downloaded directly on the device itself with a signing service like Ignition.
Two great examples of a semi-untethered jailbreak are Chimera and unc0ver , which are apps that can be side-loaded or installed over the air to jailbreak a plethora of devices on various firmware versions. An untethered jailbreak is one that permits a handset to complete a boot cycle after being pwned without any interruption to jailbreak-oriented functionality.
An untethered jailbreak can be dispatched over a physical USB cable connection to a computer or directly on the device itself by way of an application-based exploit, such as a website in Safari. Upon running an untethered jailbreak, you can turn your pwned handset off and on again without running the jailbreak tool again. The biggest advantage of a bootrom exploit is that it cannot be closed with a new software release — bootrom can only be modified with a hardware revision.
Apple was quick on the uptake, and at that time the new line of iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS contained a patched iBoot, rendering existing jailbreaks useless.
Hence the first tethered jailbreak was born. As of today, there have been a few tethered jailbreaks — QuickPwn, purplera1n, blackra1n, and sn0wbreeze 2. On the whole, no. So, tethered is not good. The only reason a tethered jailbreak requires the assistance of a computer is because iBoot cannot pass the installed OS as genuine; it reads it as a modified unsigned one.
The tool in your PC overrides iBoot itself, and so, the OS remains as it was before, but you get the device booted. The device worked only with iOS 3. Pretty much everything other than the four tools I mentioned above. Technically, an untethered jailbreak is one in which your device stays jailbroken even after a full reboot, and iBoot is bypassed normally.
Examples of such jailbreaks are numerous, ranging from redsn0w to greenpois0n and beyond, which all jailbreak the device permanently without need of support from any other medium.
Generally, these jailbreak tools use such an exploit that bypasses the iBoot sequence on its own, hence eliminating the need to connect with a computer. This article is so damn good and precise that anyone would easily understand it. The last paragraph seems to contradict the article.
No device requires tethered? Do you mean untethered? If no device requires tethering, then it would easily be untethered, right? An untethered jailbreak requires no connection to your computer to restart the iOS device. You can reboot your iPhone or iPod Touch normally, just as you would do for a device that has not been jailbroken. There is a lot of malware on the Internet promising to jailbreak iPhones and iPads. Malware distributors not only have websites hawking their wares, they also use YouTube videos that show supposedly jailbroken phones.
However, users should exercise great care before downloading any jailbreak software. Jailbreaking voids the warranty on Apple products. Apple Support will refuse to help users who have jailbroken their devices - by phone or on the support forums. Another risk is malware. Many purported jailbreaking tools are merely malware in disguise that can infect your computer. Moreoever, jailbreak lets users install apps that are not vetted by Apple and some of these could be malware that could infect your iPhone or iPad.
Hackers such as planetbeing , pod2g and [1] are well-known for their Jailbreaks. Tethered Jailbreaking: QuickPwn, purplera1n, blackra1n, and sn0wbreeze 2.
