So for anyone who doesn’t understand what this means; bootROM (ROM = Read-Only Memory) is apparently the first code executed upon booting your iDevice. Since it’s read-only, Apple cannot patch the bootROM since it can’t be written to. They’d have to get a hold of your device in order to patch this; a pointless exercise, since it is an exploit apparently present in hundreds of millions of devices. A jailbreak built from this exploit would support any A5-chip device, which for iPhone would be any iPhone from 4S all the way through to the iPhone X and there’s absolutely nothing Apple can do about it, no matter how many updates they release. Have fun guys :)

Ladies and gentlemen, what time to be alive. This is legit the biggest thing in jailbreaking history.

This is literally the biggest thing to ever happen in Jailbreaking. There were bootrom exploits in the past, (24kpwn, SHAtter, Limera1n, but none covered so many device versions)

This importance & power a bootrom exploit cannot be underestimated.

Jailbreaking is about to experience a second golden age.

-Permanent jailbreakable devices

-Downgrading

-Dual booting

-Custom firmwares

-Much; MUCH more.

IMPORTANT EDIT: the exploit is tethered, if you did any of the above mentioned actions it will require either a computer to boot, or (if someone manages to do the same as in 2011), it will boot fine into unjailbroken mode and require a computer (and a reboot) to jailbreak. The latter scenario requires a lot of work and will take a while if it’s ever released.
