Jailm8 wiki
This is just like any other bootable version of checkra1n, but with lots of new features
- A usb drive with only one partition, and at least 200 Mb of storage
- An amd64 computer
- An idevice
- A usb cable to connect to the idevice
- Download the latest release from here
- Download the latest version of rufus from here
- Plug in your usb drive, and open rufus
- Select the iso you downloaded from step 1
Make sure that the filesystem is set to FAT or FAT32, NTFS breaks jailm8
- Click start
Warning: This will format your usb and delete all data, so make sure to make a backup of any important files
- Once the write process finishes, switch your computer off
- Turn your computer on, but enter the bios settings or a one time boot menu using a hotkey (these are different depending on the computer)
- Select your usb drive from the boot menu
- It should say GRUB LOADING, and eventually load into checkra1n, if you get an authentication error, try disabling secure or safe boot
- To jailbreak normally, simply continue, otherwise follow the next part
Before jailbreaking
- Open checkra1n and click on the options tab
- In the boot arguements box, type "-p" (no quote marks)
- Continue jailbreaking normally, and you should be booted into whats called Pongo OS
- Click quit in checkra1n
- You should be at a command prompt
- This step depends on the OS you wish to boot into:
To boot android, make sure you have run isetup on your device beforehand, and then type "android"
To boot into linux, which doesn't require any prior setup, simply type "linux"
- You should boot into your desired OS
If your device gets stuck in recovery mode, you can use the irecovery command to get it out of recovery
Simply type "irecovery -n" to get your phone out of recovery
To see all of the irecovery commands, type "irecovery -h"
This is no longer just a checkra1n iso, it is now a tool for much more, which is why I am open to more additions, so feel free to ask by filing an issue here
