palera1n has been updated with iOS 16 support for A11 devices and lower!
On iOS 16, the device must have never had a passcode set since restoring (only on A10+, A9 is not affected), and dev mode must be enabled.
Upcoming: palera1n for Apple TV
Supported devices:
Apple TV HD
Apple TV 4K (1st generation)
Supported versions: tvOS 15.0 - 17.4 (latest)
A custom rootful bootstrap on real filesystem is used.

iOS 17.6 beta 1 has backported changes from iOS 18 which prevents non-root processes from spawning binaries.
This breaks a lot of jailbreak related applications including Trollstore and our Loader app.
It is recommended you stay away from these versions.
#palera1n
2.0.0 beta 7 is out!
- Fixed 16.0 beta 1 (20A5283p) not being able to jailbreak.
- Fixed Error 256/512 during rootful bootstrap installation.
- Fixed rootless `--force-revert` issue not being able to find boot hash.
and more!
Here's palen1x! The iso is around 26mb in size and is based on Alpine Linux, and it works with the versions palera1n-c supports (it's been tested on 15.6RC). It also may be familiar to you since it uses the same TUI as odysseyn1x, but modified to match palera1n's requirements.
2 thousand. Wow, thanks everyone!
By the way, we fixed A10-A11 boot problems. To get the fix (if you’re affected), run the following commands:
git pull
./palera1n.sh clean
Then you can try and jailbreak again. Add sudo to the beginning of the second command if you’re on Linux.
The palera1n team and everyone who contributed would like to announce palera1n’s C rewrite!
This is palera1n re-written in another language, known as C, this can benefit from stability and generally a better experience with jailbreaking with palera1n
We did it! 10k on both Twitter and our Discord!

. I'd like to share a bit about what it was like to start palera1n and what my expectations were.
#palera1n
1.1.1 is out!
Changes:
- Support iPad beta URLs
- Make sure auto-boot is always set to false (unless restoring rootfs)
- Wait for sshd to start before running postboot
- Fix Tips check error
- Fix --restorerootfs
Remember, tethered on A9-A11 devices, 15.0-15.3.1.

Probably a reminder that palera1n is not gonna be a perfect jailbreak, we try our best so it works as best as it can
Again if you have any issues, that is not the issues we mentioned in the original post, feel free to comment here so we can see it
Hey! It's been requested by a couple people in our Discord to create a Patreon, so we did! If you'd like to donate, feel free!
palera1n will always be free for users and developers to enjoy, with optional donations if you'd like :3
If you enabled a passcode, you must erase the device (with iTunes or in the settings app). You may restore a backup.
Please note that tweaks will likely need to be updated to work on iOS 16, so please be patient.
#palera1n
does work on
#iOS
16.3!
By the way, would anyone want other package managers added to the loader app? I don’t really see a point since you can install them from their repos, and Zebra is even on Procursus.
Regarding iPadOS 17, we have plans to update palera1n sometime in the future since it's currently a bit broken, however but **only** rootless will be available. Rootful support on iOS 15 / 16 will be unaffected.
We've brought back our servers and hopefully everything should be functional again (such as bootstrapping, and repositories), let us know if there's any issues.
Hi! We have made some changes to the website. There is now a releases page, where you can download palera1n. If recommends you a file based on your platform.
Check it out! Thanks

Hi! We have added semi-tethered support to
#palera1n
.
It makes a fake rootfs partition that could be modified, then copies the file system over. Only downside is that it can use 5-10 extra GB of your storage. This will not work on 16 GB devices.
Some issues have been identified in this release and will hopefully be fixed in the next beta, recommended to use beta 5 if you’re on 16.3.1- for now while we try to solve the issues.
Okay, the server should never go down again (and if it does you can blame
@ploosh_ptr
). I have moved the server to a Google Cloud VM, as Docker fully died on my PC.
It's pretty much the same speed as it was before. I have also tried to reenable Cloudflare caching.
Upcoming: palera1n for iBridge T2
Supported versions: bridgeOS 6.0-8.3 (latest)
The built-in SSH port for this platform will be port 22.
SSH only with no bootstrap.
We would like to thank
@P5_2005
for their assistance.
To clear up some confusion about upcoming palera1n for Apple TV:
palera1n for Apple TV will come with a graphical user interface for package management. The Spartan item in the loader is a placeholder.
The only real issue with the iOS 16 jailbreak is that launchctl doesn’t work yet. Hopefully this can be fixed in the future via a better launchctl or a patch.
Please read the warnings in the README on the github repo before using, and ask in our Discord if you have any issues.

Tutorial:
This does not apply if you disabled the passcode in iOS 15 before updating to 16, but if you enable it at all in 16, you have to follow above instructions
1,000 followers? Already? It’s been 3 days since this account was
#palera1n
branded! Thank you everyone!
Anyway, if you’d like to talk with the team and the community, you can join our Discord server!
Please also note on how you use is not how you use palera1n-c! The arguments used are different. Documentation on palera1n-c, and how to use it can be found here:
Apple’s SEP limitations are worse though. You’ll have to restore if you ever set a passcode. This also means that tweaks like checkl0ck probably won’t be able to enable Face ID on 16. Yes, you can use a backup after restoring.
By jailbreaking your apple polishing cloth, it will be easier to clean your device with the polishing cloth 99.5% of the time. However, there’s a 0.5% chance that the device could explode instead. Serial access to the RTKit console will also be available.
Fast forward to now, and we have palera1n rewritten in C, 7 team members who made this possible, 10k followers on Twitter, 10k members on our Discord, a growing community, and a handful of tweaks updated for iOS 15 and 16.
Thank you everyone for making palera1n possible.
This build of palera1n has been tested a lot, if you have any issues please say here or in the discord server.
And no, this does not fix initproc exited or checkra1n issues with iPhone X on low 15 versions
Hiya! We’re experimenting with a way to make palera1n more stable. If you have noticed commits to the fsboot branch, that’s what we have been working on. We have posted instructions in our Discord!

We apologize for the misinformed tweet regarding palera1n legacy and 16.4+ support. One of our team members tweeted without testing, which led to confusion for users.
@shogunpwnd
We never said it was a perfect jailbreak experience, but we’re trying! Could you please use the following command, click install in the loader, and send us the error?:
idevicesyslog -m palera1n
You may also notice that Sileo Nightly is used instead of Sileo now, this was for palera1n-c and its support for both rootless and rootful.
palera1n v2.0.0 b1 can be found here:
Then comes my focus on iOS 16. I worked on palera1n for days getting it to work on iOS 16. This required launchd hijacking to uicache the loader app. Yes, this is where Tips app hijacking ended. iOS 16 was jailbroken in 91 days, compared to iOS 15, which took over a year.
TvOS or any more obscure OS (e.g. AudioOS and BridgeOS) will probably be done in the distant future if they ever have some larger lifespan, which is likely to happen.
Please note that this is a beta release! Any issues you may encounter please report to our Discord server at
Benefits and changes:
- A10(X) passcode is supported
We are aware of 15.0-15.0.2 and 15.2-15.3.1 bugs. 15.1 is the best version to stay on for now. More bugs will be fixed once we switch to RELEASE kernels.
- Loader will no longer show the install button if you have a jailbreak already installed
- palera1n-c doesn't require an internet connection after the initial download
- Doesn’t need to create a ramdisk, no need to install gaster or pyimg4
- Auto tweak execution, like checkra1n! (this means you no longer need to press Do All from the loader)
- Loader updated to support rootless and rootful, will dynamically change depending on what jailbreak type you choose to jailbreak within palera1n-c
After that, Mineek modified the checkra1n kpf to spit out a patched kernel. This gave the ability to use tweaks on iOS 15+. This booted off of a fakefs so it was semi-tethered. This is where palera1n could actually be called a jailbreak. It had sandbox patches, and other stuff.
- Substitute may have more issues with connecting to 802.1x eap-peap-mschapv2 wifi networks.
Issues on A9 devices:
- A9 and below may need palera1n-c to be run again while still being in PongoOS.
@Zachary_cracks
We cannot make it like unc0ver since the device is exploited before it boots. We do have plans on removing the ramdisk requirement, and it could possibly be included in palera1n 1.4.0.
Later on, a few members in r/jailbreak, including me and
@mineekdev
, hacked up a tethered jailbreak, which we called AppleJB, since it was using Apple's dev kernels in the 15.1 beta OTA. Funnily enough, this was actually not too bad stability-wise.
