what is the solution or meaning of this ty
Good program
I have tried several times to jailbreak my iPhone 6 on 12.4.3 but no success. (and now iTunes crashes when I plug my iPhone. ) Here is the log:
– [*] Waiting for DFU devices
– [*] DFU mode device found

There’s just something i don’t get. If the exploit is related to the material means the kind of chip, then why is the software version so important? why should the phone be under ios 12.3 minimum? Your compatibility list also includes iPhone 4S but as far as i know that device is not compatible with iOS 12.3. Or am i misunderstanding ? Just asking myself and hope someone could give me an answer.
Thank you for pointing it out. It’s supported from iPhone 5S and above and not iPhone 4S. Apologies for the confusion. The correction has been made.
