If your device is stuck in recovery, please run futurerestore
--exit-recovery, or useirecovery -n. -
If you're unable to get out of recovery via these methods please restore with iTunes or Finder.
-
palera1n will never work in VirtualBox, VMware or any virtual machine that doesn't support PCI passthrough.

A checkm8 vulnerable iOS device on iOS 15+ (
A8-A11)- On
A11, you must disable your passcode while in the jailbroken state (on iOS 16, you need to reset your device before proceeding with palera1n).
- On

USB-A cables are recommended to use, USB-C may have issues with palera1n and getting into DFU mode.
Technical explanation
The BootROM will only enter DFU if it detects USB voltage, which boils down to checking whether a certain pin is asserted from the Tristar chip. The Tristar does this based on the cable's accessory ID, and apparently USB-A and USB-C cables have different accessory IDs, and the one of the USB-C cables makes the Tristar not assert the USB voltage pin. -
A Linux or macOS computer
- AMD CPUs (not AMD Mobile) have an issue [with (likely) their USB controllers] that causes them to have a very low success rate with checkm8. It is not recommended that you use them with palera1n.
- If your device does not successfully jailbreak, try a computer with an Intel or other CPU
- AMD CPUs (not AMD Mobile) have an issue [with (likely) their USB controllers] that causes them to have a very low success rate with checkm8. It is not recommended that you use them with palera1n.
-
Apple Silicon Macs with USB-C
- USB-C port on Apple Silicon Macs may require manual unplugging and replugging of the lightning cable after checkm8 exploit.
- This problem may be solved by connecting via USB hub, though extensions can vary.
Make sure you provide full details on your device, such as:
- iDevice
- iOS Version
- Passcode enabled?
- Logs, if panicked then send latest
panic-fulllog from your iDevice.
Using -VvL would help with debugging.
