De Rebus Antiquis on the iPhone 4S (with 6.1.3 blobs). This means that every iPhone 4S can enjoy untethered downgrades to any version, as 6.1.3 (upgrade blobs) is signed.

For anyone who has a Macbook with an XDR display who wants to access its full range of brightness, I've built a script called XDR Enabler. It works the same way as lunar and better display, but it's free. github.com/synackuk/XDR-Enab…

Does anyone know anything about writing a custom launchd for iOS 9? I get unexpected SIGKILL of init kernel panic every time and I have no clue why

If you want to build a ramdisk which works on iOS 9 you need to build it dynamically, use -nostdlib and include /usr/lib/dyld; that’s enough to boot launchd and therefore make everything else work
