The TaiG jailbreak group has released a Mac version of their popular jailbreaking utility, allowing OS X users to jailbreak any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.4. Jailbreaking allows users to run unofficial software and tweaks on iOS devices, but is generally only recommended for advanced users who understand the potential issues that. Add full-fledged SSH support with root-shell for A12-A12X devices on iOS 12.1.3-12.4; Add support for arbitrary unsigned code execution on A12-A12 devices on iOS 12.1.3-12.4 (Note: Object files will have to be signed with a CMS blob using the codesign utility). IPhone 12 Jailbreak. Apple announced iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro & iPhone 12 Pro Max. We can assume that iOS 14.1 will be the default iOS version. IPhone 12 models use an Apple-designed 5-nanometer A14 chip manufactured by TSMC. Also, the A12 chip security will be very high. So, Jailbreak will be much harder than ever.
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 './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 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.
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.
To bypass iCloud activation lock, you need to jailbreak your iOS device first. Since there is no jailbreak tool for the Windows system, you can follow the tested tutorial here to create a Linux Ubuntu environment on your Windows computer and then jailbreak your iOS device.
Note
- Device models supported to jailbreak on iOS 14: iPhone 6s/6s Plus/SE 1st/iPad 5th/iPad Mini 4/iPad Pro 1st.
- If you have access to a computer running macOS 10.13 - 10.15, you are recommended to Jailbreak iOS Device on Mac first.
- According to our tests, the jailbreaking for iPhone 5S will fail using this method. If you are using iPhone 5S, please jailbreak it on a Mac.

Jailbreak For Iphone 11
If the jailbreak fails, please plug your device into the USB port on the back of the computer mainframe and try the jailbreak process again. Usually the USB port on the back of the computer mainframe is 2.0 which has better compatibility then the 3.0 version in the front.
Step 10.After successful jailbreaking, quit Ubuntu and restart your computer. Go to the top right corner, click 'Power' > 'Power Off' > 'Restart'.
