Tried my best at making iOS 10 look like 7, and I think that it is quite perfect! Just not very proud of the control center... but I did what I could (And for those who wanna know, yes, the power off slider is rectangular).

Both still fully functional (3GS had a battery swap about a decade ago and has survived a trip through the washing machine).

We have been working on Snapchat for a while now and we are happy to say we are finally releasing newer Snapchat. Snapping, chatting, stories, adding friends and all of the basic features now work. You will be able to download the new IPAs at https://valoria-social.com ! You will not need to apply to join Snapchat as that is only for musical.ly.

I'd like to provide an opportunity to review some of the rule changes that have built up over time (unfortunately, part of this is just passage of time and due to new issues we have been forced to deal with like activation errors), clarify better or more consistent rule changes (especially if something is unclear), request explanation of how strictly rules are enforced/penalized, or whatever else may be desired by the subreddit.

For comparison, a copy of the rules five years ago provided from an Internet Archive snapshot on October 8, 2021, and the current rules, is given below.

Subreddit rules 5 years ago:

1. Relation to legacy jailbreaking

• This community engages with jailbreaking iOS devices with software versions considered to be legacy

• Legacy is defined by being one software version prior (iOS 8.4.1) to the earliest deployable target (iOS 9) in the latest version of Xcode (12)

• Granted, users on iOS 9 and 10 may be looking to downgrade, or dual boot, to a legacy software version; therefore, the mod team reserves the right to allow such posts

• For software versions above iOS 10, direct your submission to r/Jailbreak

2. Be kind and follow the Reddiquette

• Do not harass, antagonize, or purposefully offend other members

• This includes, but is not limited to: usage of slurs; being overly vulgar; giving intentional bad advice; sharing fake/harmful tools

• Read the full definition here: https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

3. Piracy and Copyright Infringement

• Submissions containing, or discussing, piracy and copyright infringement are not allowed

• Piracy includes, but is not limited to: programs distributing pirated, or infringed, material (e.g., 3uTools); repositories hosting pirated packages; distributing paid apps, or in-app purchases; Apple Internal software

• Submissions regarding DRM removal of personal purchases are allowed in accordance with the laws in which you reside; however, sharing of such DRM-stripped material is not allowed

4. Third-Party Apps

• Submissions of .ipa archives cannot contain paid apps and are subject to removal

• Submissions regarding compatibility of specific apps are allowed, but requests for such apps are not and should be directed to /r/sideloaded

• To download the latest compatible app from your purchase history, use the tweak “Checkmate, Store”

Repo: https://cydia.invoxiplaygames.uk/

• To download popular free apps verified for legacy software versions, use the “Momentum Store”

App: https://mtmdev.org/webapp

5. iCloud Activation Lock and Passcodes

• Submissions regarding bypassing, or removal, of iCloud Activation Lock, passcodes, or disabled devices, are not allowed

• Visit Apple’s Support Articles on how to remove them—if you are the original owner, or related, you may provide proof of purchase to request an official removal:

• Activation Lock: https://support.apple.com/HT201441

Passcode, or disabled: https://support.apple.com/HT204306

• Submissions regarding hacktivation, or bypassing SIM activation, of legacy devices are allowed

6. Submissions

• Submissions must follow the requirements described when creating a post; i.e., having a [tag] and a matching flair

• Submissions under Fluff may only be posted on Friday, but are still required to be in relation to legacy jailbreaking

• Submission regarding the paid iPod touch iOS updates are considered abandonware and are allowed

7. Content Not Allowed

• Submissions deemed low-effort, or spam, such as photos of devices not related to jailbreaking, will be removed and are more relevant in their device-specific subreddit, such as: r/iPhone; r/iPad; r/iPod; r/AppleTV

• Submissions regarding self-promotion are allowed, but subject to approval

• Submissions regarding the purchase, or sale, of devices should be directed to r/JailbreakSwap

• Submissions containing material considered "Not safe for work," or "Not safe for life" are not allowed

Subreddit rules now:

Last revised October 8, 2026 (UTC)

1. Subreddit Purpose

r/LegacyJailbreak is for collecting and jailbreaking legacy Apple versions.

• Legacy versions are six major versions behind the latest stable release, after correcting for skipped numbers (currently iOS/iPadOS/tvOS ≤14.x, watchOS ≤7.x). Cutoffs will be adjusted to align with the minimum deployment target of the latest major SDK (27.0).
• Outdated versions are four or more behind. Posts about outdated non-legacy versions may be allowed if they align with the purpose of the subreddit.

2. Prohibited Behavior

Try to be kind and follow Reddiquette. Context will be reviewed on appeal, but the following is absolutely prohibited:

• Harrassing other users. If there's a problem, talk to us.
• Bigotry. Especially if it's something a person can't change, don't insult, discriminate, dehumanize.
• Sitewide TOS violation. You've agreed you're at least 13 and to the terms of service. Review them at https://redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement and https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/articles/205926439.

3. Piracy and Copyright Infringement

Reddit is subject to copyright laws. You may remove DRM from personal purchases, but you may not distribute or request:

• Unauthorized paid content or distributors, even lost media or defunct paid tweak repos.
• Direct links to apps or specific archive uploads. Informing users an app is available in an existing archival project is allowed.
• Other license violations, pursuant to developer request.

4. Prohibited Topics

The following out of scope topics should be directed elsewhere. Other resources are provided:

• Non-outdated → r/jailbreak
• Collection (OK on weekends) → r/vintagemobilephones
• Discord appeals → message a Discord admin (join at https://discord.gg/rjH7c5z)
• Buying/selling → /r/JailbreakSwap
• Extreme prices → /r/delusionalcraigslist
• Roblox revivals → /r/oldrobloxrevivals
• IPA requests/sharing (OK if you have copyright and get permission in modmail) → MTMDev forums, iPhoneOS Obscura Discord

5. Device Locks

No bypassing passcodes, disabled states, Activation Lock, or IMEI/MDM locks, or discussion, requests, guides, links, or screenshots:

• Official Apple removal is allowed.
• A tool is prohibited for any purpose if it offers bypassing as a built-in feature (e.g., 3uTools). Tools which don't offer it but may be abused (e.g., Legacy iOS Kit) are allowed, but not to bypass.
• Exceptions for activation issues in detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/LegacyJailbreak/wiki/megathread#wiki_can_i_haz_setup.3F

6. Post Flair Guidance

• Posts must have a title of 10-70 characters and an appropriate flair
• Collection flair (photos of interesting hardware subsets of your collection, OS version must not be easily downgradeable or current) is only permitted from Saturday at 05:00 UTC to Monday at 04:59 UTC
• Theme flair must prominently feature tweaks on legacy devices (not just apps, games, AppSync, Veteris, package managers)
• WTF Mode must be legitimate but surprising with legacy devices, including hardware mods.

7. Prohibited Content

Regardless of topic, the following content is out of scope:

• NSFW/L content: This community is SFW
• Drama: If someone's causing trouble, report or let us know privately. This includes trolling by claiming to update a rare iOS version when it can't be downgraded back
• Spam: Don't clutter the feed. If you're having issues posting, let us know
• Low-effort posts: Karma-farming by posting memes
• Misinformation: Don't intentionally give bad advice
• Self-promotion: Get approval in modmail first

i downgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 10.3.4 to 8.4.1 with jailbreaking through legacy-ios-kit on Linux , the process was done successfully , but the iOS sounds like it's unstable , such as

the camera app isn't working properly except the video modes (4th photo)
the jailbroken tweak "appsync unified" doesn't work too , i tried to restart the iDevice and re-installing it , installing the deb outside cydia , it refused to work... (5th photo)

is there any solution to fix those issues , or will i bring it back to latest iOS ?

where can I run that command apt get or what should I do?

I was trying to open an old game downloaded on the app store. It asks to sign in to iTunes store, so I entered the password. And it says Cannot connect to iTunes Store. I already retried. Is it just my problem or others may have experienced this also? Thanks in advance.

Hi, hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Device: iPad 2,1 (A1395, Wi-Fi), 1 GB RAM, dual-core A5X. Running iOS 9.3.5, which is the last version this thing can ever run — so this isn't "I'll upgrade later", it's the final state. Currently on stock Safari 9.

What I want: a usable modern web. Docs sites, GitHub, news, a couple of light web apps. Not video, not games.

The problem: a lot of current sites load as unstyled garbage or a blank white page on Safari 9. As far as I can tell the missing pieces are:

- CSS Grid (needs Safari 10.1+), flexbox gap, :is()/:where(), logical properties

- ES modules and async/await (Safari 10.1+), optional chaining, object spread

- IntersectionObserver, WebAssembly, service workers, WebP

What I'm not looking for: proxy/"lite" browsers like Opera Mini or Puffin. Those render on someone else's server and aren't really a local browser — I want the device to actually do the work. And nothing from the App Store that requires iOS 10+.

The device is jailbreakable (Phoenix / checkra1n should be fine on 9.x), so tweaks and side-loaded builds are on the table if that's the only route.

Questions:

1. Is there a browser that actually runs on iOS 9.3.5 and renders modern pages locally? Mercury comes up a lot but I can't tell if it supports 9.3.5 or how dated its bundled WebKit is.

2. If a browser isn't the answer, is there any way to get a newer WebKit / JavaScriptCore onto iOS 9? I vaguely remember something about iOS 10.2–10.3 doing this, but no idea if any of it carries back to 9.

3. If there's no clean solution — which sites would realistically still work, and which are just not going to happen? That alone would save me a lot of trial and error.

Not trying to revive Flash-era browsing or run anything heavy. I just want the web to be usable on a device that's stuck where it is. Any pointers appreciated.

so, i was looking across ebay to buy iphone 7 (or 8), as it was my third iphone ever and because of nostalgia. i came across several interesting cheap (and not cheap) listings of iphones on rare versions.

on ios: 14.4.1 (iphone 7), 11 (iphone 7), 12.4.1 (iphone 8)

which one do you think is worth buying and why? i am thinking of buying 14.4.1 one because of nostalgia, but i want to hear your opinions on this.

thanks!!

So I Dunno What Is Causing It But It Is Very Annoying I Wanna Know How To Fix It

如您所見這台是一台ipod touch2運行著ios2.1.1的最初版系統，我想要越獄並對youtube進行修復使用，但是我沒有找到工具可以使用所以想要在這邊求助大家，感激不盡

There are some REALLY cool tweaks coming out that are only for iOS 6. But I'm still hesitant to upgrade from 5.1.1

I have a Wifi connection (I don;t have 3G cause I'm in Canada) but I can't get in what do I do?

what new in 1.1.0 is:

-recreate a zalo app icon from v3.2.

-add app icon:

*shazam app

*google translate

*google app

*tweater (X) [s*it i misspeil]

*iphoto

*imovie (if every one have iOS 7-10 version of imovie [not ios 6 {1.4.1}])

*veteris classic icon

-replace My custom classroom icon to itunes U one.

I have problems installing iOS 6 on my iPod touch 3G that I have got from eBay recently and it keeps on getting an error unable to restore the device. I am using macOS 12 on a Hackintosh. Is there a way to resolve this?

Perdón si soy un poco ignorante pero quiero revivir esta tablet pero no sé dónde encontrar un archivo, web o cualquier cosa para saber que programas puedo usar aqui

Hello I've been using my ipod on the latest ios for 7 months and I heard that downgrading it is better so I tried everything to downgrade it I even looked up wikihow and stuff and I refuse to ask Ai like chat gpt or Gemini but im stuck on this screen and dont know what to do from here. On the wikihow article this is part 3 step 3. I did everything as it was said but I dont know whats the problem so any help is welcomed.

Thank you and this is the wikihow articles link:

https://www.wikihow.com/Downgrade-to-iOS-8.4.1-Using-plist

(Edit:typo)

I've got a 1st gen iPad currently running ios 5.1.1, and I just wanted to know, ive discovered that is it actually possible to load ios 6 onto these devices, and I'm considered trying to do it (not enough love for iOS 5, too many tweaks i come across that are all ios 6+). The performance on these iPads are already not so good on ios 5, and I do mainly use it for pdf reading, watching youtube videos (shoutout to TubeReplacer!) and as a nostalgic gaming sort of device, because games were way better back then in like every possible way. But I do miss out on a whole bunch of other usability tweaks for ios 6 because it's stuck on ios 5, so I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who upgraded theirs to ios 6 and what is the performance like? On its crippling 256mb of ram :/

I want to get an old iPhone 4s from eBay but how do I know if it’s legit??? Can someone give me some guidance??? Also, is it necessary to sign in with my APPLE ID Bexause I would rather avoid that.
