with checkra1n.
This release is a beta preview and as such should not be
installed on a primary device
What’s new
Bug fixes
Hotfix for A9X devices, which could not boot on 14.5 at all
with 0.12.3
Fix package dependency issues on the deb repo
Notes
A11 devices on iOS 14.0 and above require removing the
passcode and enabling “Skip A11 BPR check” in the options.
This is not recommended, but it’s there.
Known issues
A7 devices will currently not work with the Linux version
The exploit may not work as reliably on some devices, such
as the Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 3
Linux GUI build when using CLI mode doesn’t support auto
assertion of DFU mode on advanced Apple TV 4K breakout
boards
bridgeOS:
If you disconnect the cable, then as soon as macOS
boots it’ll take over the USB connection and disallow
communication with the T2
Some users have reported checkra1n crashing when Chinese is
set as the only system language. It is unknown whether any
other language is affected.
Unsupported platforms
This beta is only available for macOS and Linux. Work is
ongoing to support Windows, which will be added in a later
release.

Package managers
At the moment, checkra1n only supports installing Cydia.

weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is checkra1n?
A: checkra1n is a community project to provide a high-quality
semi-tethered jailbreak to all, based on the ‘checkm8’ bootrom
exploit.
Q: How does it work?
A: Magic hax.
Q: Why was the beta release delayed?
A: We didn't want the release quality to end up like iOS 13.2,
you deserve better.
Q: wen eta?
A: bruh we're past that.
Q: How do I use it?
A: Open the checkra1n app, and follow the instructions to put
your device into DFU mode. Hax happens auto-magically from that
point and the device will boot into jailbroken mode. If you
reboot the device without checkra1n, it will revert to stock
iOS, and you will not be able to use any 3rd party software
installed until you enter DFU and checkra1n the device again.
Q: Ugh, I don't like GUI?
A: Ok, you can use "./[Link]/Contents/MacOS/checkra1n -
c" from the console, or download a Linux CLI build.
:
Q: Is it safe to jailbreak? Can it harm my device / wipe my
data?
A: We believe jailbreaking is safe and take precautions to
avoid data loss. However, as with any software, bugs can happen
and *no warranty is provided*. We do recommend you backup your
device before running checkra1n.
Q: I have a problem or issue to report after jailbreaking.
A: Many problems and bootloops can be caused by buggy or
incompatible tweaks. Remember many tweaks never saw iOS 13 in
the pre-checkra1n era. If you suspect a recently installed
tweak, you may attempt to enter no-substrate mode by holding
vol-up during boot (starting with Apple logo until boot
completes). If the issue goes away, a bad tweak is very likely
the culprit, and you should contact the tweak developers.
Q: I have a problem or issue to report and I don't think it's
related to a bad tweak.
A: Please check here and follow the bug report template.
Q: I lost my passcode. Can checkra1n decrypt my data or get
access to a locked device?
A: No.
Q: Can I ssh into my device?
A: Yes! An SSH server is deployed on port 44 on localhost only.
You can expose it on your local machine using iproxy via USB.
Q: I love the project! Can I donate?
A: Thanks, we love it too! The project does not currently take
any donations. If anyone asks for donations, it's a scam.
Q: Where are the sources? I want to write a dark-mode theme and
publish the jailbreak as my own.
A: checkra1n is released in binary form only at this stage. We
plan to open-source later in 2020. We will release the full
checkra1n source once we have a Windows GUI version. We had
hoped to get there in 2020, but we didn't manage to. But
PongoOS, the kernel patchfinder and the SEP exploit are already
open source on GitHub.
Q: When is Windows support coming?
A: Soon™. We need to write a kernel driver to support Windows
:
which will take time. Rest assured however, we are working hard
on it.
