Freedom all the way currently jailbroken
I love the ability to customise my iOS devices, I can never, ever use stock iOS, I have been jailbreaking since the iPhone 4s days, glad to see the exploit finally I am jailbroken on my iPhone X 13.2.3
The community I know it is not active as before, specially in the blind community, therefore I have created a group on WhatsApp, for jailbreakers if someone wants to join, feel free to shoot a message.
If you fall within the compatibility device criteria
iPhone 4s all the way up to the iPhone X.

Will this thign support the iPhone 11? If so I would update your requirements in yoru group. I'm not looking to join, as I don't want to ever jb again. I hated it and it was boaring, but just letting you know or asking, or something.

No
It doesn’t and won’t include
It doesn’t and won’t include iPhone 11. A recent vulnerability on iPhone 10 and older was found. Something I understand can’t be patched.
I’m confused.
Unless we are talking about two different things, the website https://checkra.in/ seems to say it is for iOS 12 and newer, not 10 and older.
Would like to joine
Hi I would also like to join I have an iphone 8+ and an iphone 6.

Some info on checkra1n

iPhone 5s
iPad Mini 2
iPad Mini 3
iPad Air
Reliability on these devices will be improved in future releases.
Unsupported platforms
This beta is only available for macOS. Work is ongoing to support Windows and Linux, which will be added in a later release.

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 "./checkra1n.app/Contents/MacOS/checkra1n_gui -" from the console.
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: Why do I still have jailbreak apps present after I used the 'Restore System' option in the checkra1n app and rebooted?
A: This is a known issue with how this functionality works. The apps are not installed anymore, but their icons may stay on the homescreen until iOS rebuilds its icon cache (which we have no control over in non-jailbroken mode).
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.
Q: The checkra1n app doesn't open inside the DMG!
A: Follow the instructions in the DMG file and drag the app to the Applications folder.

Please don’t be confused, this is a hardware based exploit
iPhone X and below devices are supported basically these devices are jailbroken for life, this is a hardware based exploit.
Obviously which means a11 or below.

cidia is gone.
Actually I heard cidia's repositories closed [here is the article](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=13&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjqstWssZLmAhVGJTQIHXpzCs8QFjAMegQIARAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idownloadblog.com%2F2018%2F12%2F16%2Fcydia-store-shut-down-faq%2F&usg=AOvVaw2FRVfUaBvYAl4Iw-NZtiV3) so why are they supporting a store that shut down.
Cidia
My understanding is Cidia installer still works, but Cidia store was shuttered.
That’s why there is something called package managers
Hi there I should mention Cydia is still maintained by third party developers, he only revoked the users to purchase using Cydia repository eg bigboss,
third-party repositories are still compatible.
Saurik never enabled Cydia Store purchases on iOS 11 from the start. That said, you won’t notice a difference using Cydia from one day to the next unless you’re using an older jailbreak that pre-dates iOS 11,
With that being said, there is a choice of installing other package managers plus The official Checkra1n Team has mentioned if you read above they will be adding more package managers,
in the meanwhile the popular one I can suggest which I’m using Zebra
Which is open source also compatible with iOS 13.2.2
So, are iPhone 11s going to
So, are iPhone 11s going to be added one day? And the 12s and 13 etc etc etc? If this works on 10 and older, and those devices get old and one day brake, I can imagine the future for this won't be too bright.
is it worth it though?
I'm just curious, is jailbreaking worth it? If someone has done it before, is it worth jailbreaking, why or why not? I have never had any jailbroken device before and don't know if trying it out, i've always been happy with the standard ios. Aso, I read this is a jailbreak for life, given it exploits a hardware thing or hardware itself. How exactly does this work? What hardware issue does it exploit that cannot be exploited on iphone 11? Just asking this out of curiosity.
Jail breaking
There was a time that jail breaking was a good option. IMO iOS has improved leaps and bounds when it comes to customization. Of course it will always have limits. Due to Apple and it’s closed ecosystem.
I haven’t found the need to jailbreak in quite some time. Warranty is something to consider as well. It can void your warranty and device prices have risen dramatically.
this jailbrakingtool
this jailbraking tool does not work with macOS Catalina. just letting everybody know.
It is working with Catalina without any issues
Hi there, it is working I don’t have any issues here, I’m running Catalina on my MacBook air, iPhone X 13.2.2, do you have the phone in the proper dfu? Otherwise it will not run the exploit
Please make sure you put your device in DFU mode in order for it to work.
To do or not to do?
So I've been looking the apps list for a jailbroken device and I just don't see why would I do it. LIke all stuff is already included o ios 14.4. The only thing I'd like to do is to create voiceover gestures, like the ones from android talkback but it might ot even be possible.
