The Serotonin “semi-jailbreak” system tweak injection method for the RootHide development team’s Procursus-based bootstrap received an important update on Saturday, bringing the project up to version 1.2.0.
Serotonin lead developer @htrowii announced the latest update in a post shared to X (formerly Twitter) late Saturday afternoon, and from what we can gather, version 1.2.0 brings with it the following changes:
User Interface / Quality of Life
– Fixed toggles for reinstalling and uninstalling Serotonin jailbreak
– Fixed toggle for enabling verbose boot
– Added toggle for hiding the confidential textVersion support
– Added kfund kpf, replacing tihmstar’s kpf, adding support for arm64 devices & fixing iPad support
– Fixed switchsysbin to run on 16.3.1 and below. If you are on 16.6b1, enable the beta toggle
– Fixed M1/M2 regression from previous kpf. Now the kbase on these devices should be fixed
– Added exploit picker (in simple / old UI)
As you can see, this is a pretty important update. Serotonin’s new kernel patch finder now adds support for older arm64 devices (like the iPhone X and older). It also fixes problems with M1 and M2 chip-equipped iPad Pros and implements various bug fixes that improve the user experience of the product.
In a future update, the developer plans to add iOS & iPadOS 15 support to Serotonin, add support for rootless, and incorporate support for system-wide tweak injection into daemons.
Please note, however, that a full-fledged rootless jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5.1 will be coming soon by way of Dopamine v2, and that palera1n already exists for arm64 devices. Making use a full-fledged jailbreak such as one of these is the recommended path to take.
