These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone using checkra1n.

The checkra1n jailbreak is based on a permanent unpatchable bootrom exploit developed by axi0mX called checkm8. The jailbreak was released by Luca Todesco with help from other developers listed below.

Currently, checkra1n beta supports jailbreaking iOS 12.3 and higher on all devices released between the iPhone 5s and iPhone X, excluding the iPad Air 2, iPad 5th Gen, and iPad Pro 1st Gen. Support for the iPhone 5s, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, and iPad Air is experimental.


For now, you'll need a Mac to jailbreak but Windows and Linux applications are under development.

Step One
Download the latest checkra1n application from here.

Why do you promote Jailbreaking iPhones? I think this is Anti-Apple behavior. I think you should not be promoting anything to do with Jailbreaking iPhones. Very unprofessional. Shame on you!

Jailbreaking (modifying one’s own OS) not to be confused with piracy (theft of apps, music, etc) is very American as an expression of freedom.
