Apple released iOS 10.3.3 a few days back which includes a number of bug fixes and security improvements including a fix for a vulnerability that could allow a hacker to execute code in the iPhone’s Wi-Fi chip.
Since this is probably the last iOS software update for iOS 10 with iOS 11 just around the corner, it would be a perfect time to release the elusive jailbreak for iOS 10.3.3 – iOS 10.2.1.
So in this post, we will take a look at the latest status of iOS jailbreak.
iOS 10 Jailbreak Status
In case you’re new to the jailbreaking world, the first jailbreak for iOS 10 known as Yalu (formerly Yalu + Mach Portal) was released on December 21, 2016, by well-known hacker Luca Todesco, famous by his Twitter handle qwertyoruiop. The Yalu jailbreakmade use of Ian Beer’s, of Google Project Zero, mach_portal exploit. It supported select 64-bit devices such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Todesco then released a more stable version of the Yalu jailbreak tool for iOS 10.2 by using Ian Beer’s, extra_recipe exploit with the help of Marco Grassi on January 26, 2017. It supported all 64-bit devices except for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

You have to use a computer application known as Cydia Impactor to install the Yalu jailbreak. The jailbreak is a semi-untethered jailbreak, which means that when the iOS device boots, it will no longer have a patched kernel. You are required to run the Yalu app again, to re-jailbreak your iOS device. The other limitation of the jailbreak is that the Yalu app certificate expires seven days, so you have to reinstall it again using Cydia Impactor to renew it for another 7 days.

Can I jailbreak iOS 10.3.3?
The exploits that were used in Yalu iOS 10.2 jailbreak have all been patched by Apple in iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3, which means that if your device is running on any of these firmwares, then it cannot be jailbroken.
Downgrading to iOS 10.2 from iOS 10.2.1 or iOS 10.3
Apple closed the signing window for iOS 10.2 a couple of weeks after it was released. This means that you can no longer downgrade to this firmware using iTunes.
If you have saved the SHSH blob for iOS 10.2, there are alternative downgrade methods such as Prometheus. But they’re quite complicated and there’s no guarantee that it will work.
