pr0x13 working on untethered jailbreak for iOS 9.3.5

​

Before asking "Is there an update?", check pr0x13's Twitter. There'll most likely be an update there if anything has happened.
If there is an update, and I've missed it, please post it below.​

pr0x13 has tweeted that they are working on an untethered iOS 9.3.5 Jailbreak using bugs which were fixed in iOS 10.

If you aren't aware, there was a semi-untethered jailbreak released a few days ago dubbed "Phœnix" which means that you are required to launch an app to install jailbreak upon each reboot.
Because this new jailbreak will be untethered, there will be no need for that, as the jailbreak will be launched on boot automatically.
You can read more about the Phœnix jailbreak here.

It is unknown whether this supports 64bit devices at this time.
We can most likely expect a release date soon as they said that the untethered jailbreak is "nearly done".

I'm purely guessing here, so I'm not gonna add this to the OP, but I doubt that the bugs patched in iOS 10 were only in iOS 9.3.5. Perhaps this could lead to untethered jailbreaking in all iOS 9 versions?

 

Since iPhone 5 is 32-bit, most likely, considering that Phœnix works on 32-bit 9.3.5.
If you are on 9.3.5, you can go install Phœnix, a semi-tethered jailbreak now.

 

I know
"Since iPhone 5 is 32-bit, most likely"
Also if you want untethered now, I think you can just downgrade to iOS 8.4 with Beehind and install untethered on there.

 

Just google Beehind

 

Phœnix works on 9.3.5, and tfp0 is enabled, it should work. I'm not entirely sure though.
