palera1n

An iOS 15.0-16.3 work-in-progress, (semi-)tethered checkm8 jailbreak.

Change Log • Discord • Twitter

How does it work?

It boots the device with multiple patches required. On first run, it'll boot a ramdisk which dumps your onboard blob, creates a fakefs (if using semi-tethered), installs the loader app, and patches your kernel.

Requirements

  • A checkm8 vulnerable iOS device on iOS 15 or 16 (A8-A11)

    • The device must be on iOS 15.0-16.3
      • palera1n will never work with devices above the iPhone X/A11. Please stop asking in the Discord, and remember: this is mainly a developer jailbreak
    • If you want the device to be semi-tethered, you will need 5-10GB of space for the fakefs. This means that 16GB devices cannot be semi-tethered

    • A10 and A11 devices

      • On A10 and A11, you must disable your passcode while in the jailbroken state.
      • On iOS 16 A10+, if you EVER enabled a passcode on 16, you have to reset through the settings app/restore with a computer
      • On A10, this can be fixed in the future by implementing blackbird.
      • On A11, we don't have a SEP exploit yet.
      • In the meantime, we recommend FakePass if you would like a passcode

  • A USB-A to Lightning cable

    • USB-C cables
      • USB-C cable why bad explanation

  • A Linux or macOS computer

    • Python 3 must be installed.
    • This must be a physical computer. Virtual machines do not work.
    • AMD CPUs have an issue [with (likely) their USB controllers] that causes them to have a very low success rate with checkm8. It is unrecommended that you use them with palera1n.
      • If your device does not successfully jailbreak, try a computer with an Intel or other CPU

Warning

  • We are NOT responsible for any data loss, or the result of a device being bricked. The user of this program accepts responsibility should something happen to their device. While nothing should happen, jailbreaking has risks in itself.

Please first check the common issues document.

Still need help?

If you still need help, please join our Discord. We disabled issues due to the flood of spam, and difficulty to respond in general. We are much more comfortable on Discord.

Please, please, please, provide necessary info:

  • iOS version and device (eg. iPhone 6s 15.3.1, iPhone X 16.0)

  • Computer's OS and version (eg. Ubuntu 22.04, macOS 13.0)

  • The command you ran

  • Full log from the logs folder

DO NOT harass tweak devs if tweaks don't work. Refer to here for compatiblity.

You may join here.

Patrons

Thank you so much to our Patrons that make the future development possible! You may sub here, if you'd like to.

Repos

Tweaks mode

All repos work when using tweaks mode because it uses normal Procursus and not rootless.

Rootless

Repos need to be updated for rootless, here are some that work currently:

If you want to make a rootless repo, use the official palera1n repo for reference. Every deb should use the iphoneos-arm64 architecture, and nothing should be on the rootfs. Everything should be in /var/jb.
