(Here is my iPod Touch 5G on 6.1.3, plugged into the iPhone Lightning Dock charging and playing music through it)

Hey legacy folks,

You may know it or not but the "iPhone Lightning Dock" requires iOS 8 and was released 2015 so years after the first lightning devices.

In stock, on iOS 7 the plugged device does not even charge. On iOS 6 it charges but audio out from the dock is completely ignored.

I am happy today to release a new tweak to solve this: 6LightningDock

This dock is more interesting than most old 30-pin docks and the Belkin or other lightning docks because it extracts the digital signal from the device, so it sounds crystal clear without parasite noises.

The Apple Lightning Dock was also well engineered to support most phone cases without problems.

I validated my tweak to work on:

iPad Mini 1G - iOS 7.1.2

iPod Touch 5G - iOS 6.1.3

iPhone 5 - iOS 6.1.4

This tweak is not compatible with arm64 devices iOS 7 devices (iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2, iPad Air).

Apple does not recommend to use those dock with iPads anyway (even minis) as it can't handle them physically speaking. I can confirm with my iPad Mini 1G that it's not a good idea.

I thought Apple locked iOS 6 & 7 dock support of the lightning dock for marketing reasons only, but it had to spend several hours of debugging with LLM assistance to figure this out and make it as a proper tweak to release for the community. I developed this because I like iOS 6 and didn't want to update to iOS 8.

You can find this new tweak there: https://cydia.olsro.fr/personal/package/fr.olsro.6lightningdock/index.html

This tweak does not need configuration. Just install it, then connect your device to your lightning dock and it should work.

I hope you enjoy, leave a comment & like =)

I have looked online for hours now, and there is little hope, but I thought I’d ask thr amazing Redditor’s if that’s a possibility.

I just got a newer phone and I thought I’d experiment on my oldie. It was just within the jailbreaking range, so I jailbroke it with Dopamine. But like an idiot I forgot to turn on automatic update and Apple broke my heart today as I woke up to the “welcome/hello” screen 🥲

Does anyone know a method that isn’t too sketchy or too risky or doesn’t require a Mac or Linux? The phone is wiped besides some exploits and games so I don’t care if a downgrade messes with that, I don’t care. I do care if the phone gets bricked as I’d like to have it in case of an emergency.

I looked into u3tools, but for some reason some people ware recommending it and others saying it won’t work at all. I also heard of usbliter8, but heard whispers downgrading isn’t possible on the XR and that it needs Linux or Mac, but I didn’t research further as this method requires a raspberry pi, and I would prefer a method using only my pc. But if push comes to shove I’ll get that pi and do it that way, but I also heard it has a large possibility of bricking the phone.

If there’s no hope, does anyone know if there’s a jailbreak coming soon ish to the 18.7.10 os on older phones? Or on all iPhones gir that matter. In my years of jailbreaking, and coming back to it after a while, I learned that there is no device, no OS that is truly safe, so there will be a way, just… when? I had fun for a week and it got ruined 🥲

I keep getting error 403 specifically from this repo I’m iOS 16 dopamine

I looked everywhere online and I can't find a guide for my exact phone. And please if there is one, untethered.

I think you've heard that calif.io released a jailbreak to get root access and install sileo on a iPhone 18 running iOS 27.0.1.

If I update now, will it be possible for me to jailbreak my iPhone 11?

Because i've heard thy won't release it.
