checkra1n 0.12.0 Beta | Jailbreak for iPhone 5s through iPhone X, iOS 12.0 and up

The checkra1n jailbreak has been updated with support for iOS 14.2. The release includes official support for A10/A10X devices and limited support for A11 devices (iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X).

Here's a look at what's new...

Highlighted changes
● Official support for iOS 14.1 and 14.2
● Official support for A10/A10X devices on iOS 14.x
● Limited support for A11 devices on iOS 14.x (Options > Skip A11 BPR check)
● A “Quick Mode” option that makes the GUI/TUI run on a timer and require no button clicks

Bug fixes
● Fixes a widespread issue that could cause crashes or hangs at various stages of booting across all devices and iOS versions
● Fixes a kernel patch that made many kexts think the device was in restore mode
● Fixes an issue where the tvOS loader would crash on tvOS 13.x
● Fixes a GUI/TUI issue that would cause failure with A7 devices
● Fixes a GUI/TUI issue where failure to jailbreak could cause memory corruption
● Fixes an issue where the T2 overlay was not being sent in the Linux version
● Ships a vastly updated PongoOS, including:
○ Working USB on all SoCs
○ A hardware AES driver for all SoCs, providing access to GID keys and more
○ Booting with -p works once again

Other changes
● Users who used a modified checkra1n build will get a warning popup

Known issues
● On Apple A10 devices running iOS 14, boot may sometimes hang in pongoOS. In that case, reboot the device and retry.
● Jailbreaking tvOS using the GUI might not work in some cases. As a workaround, you can use the CLI.
● NVRAM is not unlocked on iOS 14.2
● A7 devices are currently known to 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 the auto assertion of DFU mode on advanced Apple TV 4k breakout boards
● bridgeOS:
○ May need to reconnect the device after exploitation for bootstrap upload
○ As soon as macOS boots it’ll take over the USB connection and disallow communication

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. Support for other package managers, including Zebra and Installer is coming soon and is expected within the coming 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 the 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 "./checkra1n.app/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 boot loops 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 the 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 the 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.

Q: When is Windows support coming?
A: We need to write a kernel driver to support Windows (which is a very complex piece of code!) which will take time. Rest assured, however, we are working hard on it.
