palera1n

Jailbreak for A8 through A11 devices, on iOS 15.0 and higher.

macOS
Linux

Installing palera1n (macOS)

Open Terminal.app and run the following command. This will download palera1n to your system and let you jailbreak.

sudo /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://static.palera.in/scripts/install.sh)"

Once complete, you can now run palera1n in your terminal to start the process.

When using palera1n, theres also other options within palera1n that you can specify to tell palera1n what to do. To view these, you can use palera1n --help. To view the online documentation, it can be found here.

Connect your device and once you do palera1n will attempt to put the device into recovery mode, then follow the instructions that are provided to enter DFU. This step is to ensure there isn't any corruption issues when attempting to enter DFU via force reset.

On A11 devices, you must disable your passcode and will not be able to use your passcode, or other SEP functionality, until you boot into a stock iOS state. SEP functionality includes things such as a passcode, Face ID/Touch ID, and Apple Pay.

Additionally, if your device is an A11 device on iOS 16 and you've set a passcode before, you will need to erase all content and settings in order to be able to jailbreak.

Once you're in DFU, palera1n will start the process of exploiting and jailbreaking your device.

A9(X) and earlier devices have an issue where they will get stuck midway through this process in pongoOS. To work around this issue, you'll need to do the following:

1. In the terminal window, press Control + C
2. Rerun the palera1n command

You'll need to do this every time you rejailbreak your device.

Once your device has booted up, it will take a few seconds for palera1n's loader app to appear. When that happens, select your preferred package manager within the application to install the necessary packages to start using the jailbreak.

and.. you're done!

Installing palera1n (Linux)

Open your preferred terminal emulator and run the following command. This will download palera1n to your system and let you jailbreak. If you're using fish, switch to bash first (by running bash)

sudo /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://static.palera.in/scripts/install.sh)"

To prepare palera1n for installation, you have to restart usbmuxd so palera1n is able to detect your device.

sudo systemctl stop usbmuxd
sudo usbmuxd -f -p

Once complete, you can now run sudo palera1n in your terminal to start the process.

Due to the utilization of checkra1n 1337, there may be issues with minimal linux distributions that can lead to palera1n not working. Best chance to avoid this issue is to use popular Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Manjaro, or Mint

Frequently asked Questions

Q: Is palera1n safe?
Like all jailbreaks, all of them are flawed in someway. We are NOT responsible for any data loss, or the result of a device being bricked. When using palera1n, the user should accept responsibility if anything happens to their device during the process.
Q: Why do updates take so long?
We do our best to release a high quality product for use for the public, small hotfixes for previous builds of palera1n will be available if we find any issues. Bigger changes coming soon :D
Q: Will palera1n ever support AMD? (or VMs?)
Due to the precision that checkm8 needs in order to exploit the device, theres nothing we can do to attempt to fix the issue apart from telling you to either get an intel machine or an AMD mobile computer. Sorry.
The same applies for virtual machines, we cannot fix the issues that come from using any virtual machine software due to the exploit. So please, either use macOS or Linux on real hardware.
Q: Why is there problems with USB-C cables and ports?
Due to apple! They messed up on their USB-C cables and now there's issues when getting into DFU.
USB-C port on Apple Silicon Macs may require manual unplugging and replugging of the lightning cable after checkm8 exploit, though this problem may be solved by connecting via USB hub, though extensions can vary.
Q: How do I use SSH?
Since palera1n has SSH by default via their dropbear port, you can use
ssh [email protected] -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" -o "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" -o "ProxyCommand=inetcat 44"
Though, make sure you have libimobiledevice installed/and or downloaded.
