Warnings

  • Use -f -c or -f -B for Rootful when creating fakeFS/bindFS, you also must use only -f to boot fakeFS/bindFS, otherwise it'll spit out an error saying that you already created the fakeFS/bindFS or it'll freeze without fakeFS/bindFS.

    • (-f -B won't work on 16.x).

  • This distro's purpose is to make palera1n easier and more intuitive(with TUI) to use within a stripped down distribution. Each option in palera1n_options correlates to what can be found in palera1n documentation. I am not including flags that the user will most likely never need, for example, -i. Further documentation on palera1n can be found here.

  • A9 and below devices may need to rerun the jailbreak if it gets stuck on PongoOS booting. If palera1n is stuck, press CTRL + C and type exit to go back into palen1x_menu, and rerun palera1n (make sure you don't force reboot, if you do you may need to rerun this process).

  • 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 A11).

Information

Make an iCloud/iTunes backup before using, so that you can go back if something goes wrong.

Building palen2x

To change the version of palen1x, either change version file, or manually specify it with ./build.sh.

git clone https://github.com/infinite989/palen2x.git
cd palen2x
sudo ./build.sh RELEASE

The iso will be placed in work/.

Run palen2x locally

Only for palera1n supported OSes (and probably Windows doesnot get invited, sorry)

Get whiptail first.

Get this repo cloned (if you haven't before), "cd" to it, then run these as root:

# find ./scripts -type f -not -iname 'inetcat' -exec cp -p '{}' '/usr/bin' ';'
# echo "Rootless" > /usr/bin/.jbtype
# echo "" > /usr/bin/.args

Start by running palen2x_menu.

Important Notes

make sure to flash with dd flashing with iso mode will cause issues i recommend to use rufus to flash it

Ventoy works too, but booting with GRUB mode may required.
