iOS 14.2 released to the public and the iOS 14.2.1 version is also available to download. While talking about iOS 14.2 there is a popular topic iOS 14.2 jailbreak. iOS 14, iOS 14.0.1, and iOS 14.1 have already been jailbroken by checkra1n and jailbreak solutions are available for these versions.

Now we can talk about iOS 14.2 jailbreak and jailbreak solutions for iOS 14.2.

Checkra1n Jailbreak

If you are using iOS 14, iOS 14.0.1, or iOS 14.1 running device it can be jailbroken using checkra1n jailbreak. Checkra1n is a hardware-based jailbreak method, so it is not supporting all devices running on iOS 14 and iOS 14.0.1. Still, A9 and below devices only supported these versions.

Now, checkra1n also available for iOS 14.2 jailbreak. But for A9 and below devices. We can hope the checkra1n team will add support iOS 14.2 on the latest devices such as A10, A11, A12, and A13.

However, iOS 14.2.1 can not be jailbroken using checkra1n as iOS 14.2.1 released only for the latest iPhone 12 devices. That means iOS 14.2.1 only supported for A14 devices and checkra1n not support these devices.

Unc0ver Jailbreak

Unc0ver is a stable online jailbreak method for iOS 13.5 and previous iOS versions. There is no clue about iOS 14 supports unc0ver yet. If unc0ver adds support to iOS 14, there is a high possibility to support unc0ver for iOS 14.2 -iOS 14.2.1 . So iOS 14.2 and iOS 14.2.1 will be possible to jailbreak with unc0ver on the latest devices even for A13 and A14.

Odyssey Jailbreak

Coolstar’s latest jailbreak tool odyssey can be released for iOS 14.2 and iOS 14.2.1. Odyssey is an online jailbreak method and still supports iOS 13 — iOS 13.5 on A8 — A13 devices. Coolstar especially released Odyssey for the iOS 13 version. In the past, he released Chimera for iOS 12 versions and Electra for iOS 11 versions.

So he may be releasing a brand new jailbreak tool for iOS 14 versions. But he did not reveal that. If Coolstar released a new jailbreak tool for iOS 14 versions it will be supported iOS 14.2 too.

Those 3 jailbreak tools are a high possibility to release for iOS 14.2. As jailbreakers, we can not wait until a stable jailbreak tool releases for iOS 14.2. We definitely go through with jailbreak solutions for iOS 14.2.
