v2.2

Fixes

• iPadOS/tvOS 18.4, bridgeOS 9.4 support
• tvOS 26.0 and bridgeOS 10.0 support

NOTE: On tvOS 26, during bootstrap there might be an error related to dyld and launchctl in the system log, this is okay as it is mitigated by other parts of the bootstrapping code. palera1n loader will still to bootstrap as normal when this happens.

Other changes

• Rewritten loader (once again, primarily for better practices)
• Only fakefs loaded by palera1n 2.0.1 or newer is supported. Fakefs created by palera1n 2.0 or older, or by other tools must be loaded with palera1n 2.0.1-2.1 beta before they can be loaded in 2.2.

Fixes

• Attempts to fix preboot permissions on rootless
• Loader: now disables idleTimer when attempting to install, to avoid aborting when the device sleeps.
• Loader: Work around very specific edge-case to where the user has manually removed /var/jb while keeping the fakeroot intact, prompting the user to reboot the device to proceed with any Loader install actions.
• Loader: fixed improper handling of certain keys in a malformed configuration file, also prompting the user that the environment is not supported if the environment doesn't exist.

v2.0

Highlighted changes

• iPadOS 18 support.

This only supports iPads that have gotten 18, and due to this being extremely new some aspects when jailbreaking are gonna be broken. For example, the settings application has been rewritten on 18 and preferenceloader will need to be updated to work. Additionally, ellekit safe mode UI's red top bar is not currently working.

You can use TweakSettings in the mean time.

• iPadOS 17.6 (and potentially higher 17 versions) support.
• Apple TV support for tvOS 15.0 and above, shipping Procursus bootstrap.

tvOS 15 - 18.0 will NOT require the use of creating a fakeFS, rather you have the classic jailbreak experience similar to 14 and below. Use palera1n -f to jailbreak.

Apple TV does not have a completed package manager, for now we will ship a package manager that is somewhat working however there's no guarenteed success when using it. It is recommended you use some sort of command-line tool using APT or with ssh to be able to install packages.

• iBridge (T2) support for 5.0 and above, shipping with only SSH with root volume access and no bootstrap. Use palera1n -f to jailbreak.

Fixes

• Fix 17.6b3+ mac_mount top
• Added iPadOS 17 and 18 rootful support.

Please do not create fakefs immediately after restore on iPadOS 18, let the device boot to Setup first.

• Fixed creating fakefs on 16 and above.
• The loader app is less likely to disappear.

Loader changes

• Rewritten the majority of the loader application. Now fully supporting tvOS and custom configurations for installations from the app.
• New screen when bootstrapping, this will show you the download speeds and what file its currently downloading.
• New 'Exit Safemode' option within the loader to use whenever you've booted into safemode with palera1n CLI, this will userspace reboot.

Device-side changes

• Rewritten the entirety of the device-side logic when booting up using palera1n, this also includes some new features which you may notice when booting.
• You will now be thrown into recovery mode after using specifying either -B or -f. This is to reduce wait time when trying to boot the copied filesystem.
• Userspace reboots no longer breaks Xcode debugging on a device that has been prepared for development.
• Basic libroot support for both rootful and rootless, implemented libroot_get_root_prefix and libroot_get_jbroot_prefix.
• New alert will appear on your homescreen after using --force-revert, prompting you to reboot the device to finish the process.

CLI changes

Due to multiple supported environments such as appletv-arm64 being the only environment supported on tvOS 15.0 and above, the user is now required to specify a jailbreak type within the CLI. That being -l (rootless) or -f (rootful)

• New -T, --telnetd option to start an unauthenticated, unencrypted telnet shell on all interfaces on port 46. This is insecure and is intended to be a backup. Only use it behind a protected firewall and when you are done, rejailbreak without the option. A warning is issued when you try to use this option.

Notes

• The A8 HomePod is not yet considered as supported due to lack of testing. It is internally tvOS though so it might work (but no loader). We may revise this statement when more information is available.

v2.0.0 beta 9.2

CLI

• Updated embedded checkra1n to the new version of 1337.2

Important

Direct quote from https://checkra.in/1337

"Note: the linux builds were updated on 14. May 2024.
The old builds erroneously used dynamic linking, which limited them to systems that use glibc. The new builds use static linking like previous releases did."

v2.0.0 beta 9.1

Warning

Content here is from a previous build of palera1n, use at your own risk. Also, please don't ask for support on previous builds of palera1n, it's recommended you use the latest build as you will most likely encounter less issues with our tool, if you continue to use a previous build, you are on your own.

Warning

There may be issues with Linux due to checkra1n 1337.2, specifically more stripped down distributions that do not have glibc will make this build of checkra1n not work, due to this version being compiled incorrectly. Best chance is to wait for a new checkra1n 1337 build or use a less stripped down distribution.

Device-side changes

• Fix bug where thid_should_crash=0 is not applied correctly on iOS 17.0-17.3.1
