Palera1n Jailbreak is a script for macOS and Linux that enables you to use iOS 15 – iOS 15.7.1 checkm8 supported iDevices as semi-tethered. It involves installing Pogo by Amy through the TrollStore app in order to access the Sileo package management and boots the device with AMFI fixes.
According to the latest news, Palera1n support for iOS 16 – iOS 16.1.1 will be coming soon.
How to jailbreak iOS 15 using Palera1n
Before using Palera1n to jailbreak iOS 15, make sure your device is on the supported list. Furthermore, users who have A10 or A11 devices need to remove the passcode before going ahead with the jailbreak.
- If you don’t have Homebrew installed already, then you might need to open up a terminal window and type the command line given below
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Admin password is required to proceed with the installation - Once the installation of Homebrew is complete, run the additional commands provided. You may need to change the home folder name to match your settings
echo '# Set PATH, MANPATH, etc., for Homebrew.' >> /Users/[your home folder name]/.zprofileecho 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/[your home folder name]/.zprofileeval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
Homebrew is now configured and ready to respond to commands. - To install the dependencies you’ll need to run the following command
brew install libimobiledevice libirecovery - Now you need to install Python. This step is simple. All you need to do is download the latest version of Python and follow the screen instructions. Note: this step may request for administrator password
- After completing the installation open up the Terminal Window again and type
cd downloadsgit clone --recursive https://github.com/palera1n/palera1n && cd palera1n
This will clone the palera1n GitHub repository - Now it’s time to plugin the iPhone that you are planning to jailbreak. Make sure to put it in DFU mode. Once you are in DFU mode type the command
sudo bash ./palera1n.sh --tweaks [your current iOS version] --semi-tethered
When entering the iOS version do not use the square brackets. Just type the version. Example – 15.5 - Enter Administrator password when requested. Now the installation should begin. Furthermore, in the warning message which is displayed in the terminal window type “Yes, do as I say” to proceed and again in the next warning type “Yes, I am sure”
- Terminal Window will display different messages while the process is running. You don’t need to respond to these unless prompted
- Finally, the device will restart into recovery mode. Also, to proceed and enter DFU mode, hit any key. Then, follow the button-pressing instructions displayed on-screen. In the process you might see text scrolling on the terminal window and finally the device will boot up
- Once the iPhone boots, look for the “Tips” app and tap on it
- You should see two options to select Install & Tools, out of the two options tap on “Install”
The Sileo package manager is installed together with Substitute for tweak injection and the Procursus bootstrap. When it has finished everything, Sileo should show up on your Home Screen.
Palera1n has now jailbroken your device.
Note: If you wish to use a semi-tethered jailbreak with tweaks, you may use the command given below. Also, keep in mind that 5–10 GB of extra space is required.
./palera1n.sh --tweaks <iOS version of your device> --semi-tethered
Download Palera1n
Palera1n version1.3.0 is available to download. As we have mentioned throughout the post it is not a full and final release. Therefore it is recommended for developers.
Palera1n supported devices
Please keep in mind that because Palera1n utilizes the Checkm8 bootrom exploit, it can only jailbreak devices that are vulnerable to this bootrom exploit. This covers iOS or iPadOS 15.x-running A9-A11 devices, although tweak injection is only compatible with iOS or iPad OS 15.7.1. The following is a list of supported devices:
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 7
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus

More about Palera1n and it’s developer
Nebula (@itsnebulalol) and Mineek (@mineekdev) are the main developers of Palera1n.
Palera1n is a developer oriented jailbreak. Since it is still under development, the installation process isn’t as user-friendly as with other jailbreaks. Also, there are a few things we need to keep ready before beginning the Palera1n installation; having a computer is one of the main things on the list. As of now, using this tool is only suggested for advanced users.
Checkra1n supported devices should be compatible with Parera1n. However, unlike while using checkra1n you can run into various issues as it is still a work in progress. Due to this reason, whoever loves to use Palera1n should do so at their own risk. Furthermore, you can use futurerestore –exit-recovery or use irecovery to exit from the recovery mode.
Fixes for known Issues
As previously stated, Palera1n is a work-in-progress jailbreak. As a result, the likelihood of getting into trouble is higher. However, we have listed a couple of fixes that will support you with some known issues.
- Though arm64 devices are supported by Palera1n, the iPhone XS and some newer models which have arm64e architecture aren’t supported.
- If the device freeze at recovery, run futurerestore –exit-recovery, or else try using irecovery -n
- In coactions where Pogo didn’t load Tips, as a workaround you can install Pogo IPA using TrollStore
