There has been a new release of palera1n-c v2.0.0 beta 7 with various enhancements

The palera1n team released a fresh build of its checkm8 bootrom exploit-based jailbreak tool late last night, so any palera1n-c jailbreak users out there will have a pleasant surprise when they wake up on Tuesday morning.

The Palera1n team declared on Twitter that it was releasing Palera1n-C 2.0 beta 7 and that it will have the following modifications:

Highlighted changes

– Fixed 16.0 beta 1 (20A5283p) not being able to jailbreak.
– Fixed Error 256/512 during rootful bootstrap installation.
– Fixed rootless --force-revert issue not being able to find boot hash.

Loader

– Added better logging for Loader.
– Added French, Arabic, Polish, German, Spanish, Czech, Swedish, Dutch, and Catalan translations.
– APT packages update on first install.
– Check if user has sideloaded.
– Fixed crashing when installing package manager on rootful for some users.
– Fixed Error 256/512 during rootful bootstrap installation.
– Fixed Input/Output Error during bootstrap installation (--force-revert).
– General code cleanup, some better practices.
– Helper moved to jbinit/jbloader.
– Nebula Keyring will be installed on bootstrap.
– Re-added alert if user has used --force-revert.

Other device-side changes

– Fixed rootless --force-revert issue not being able to find boot hash.
– Jailbreak contents such as /private/preboot/&{boot_hash}/jb-* and or /procursus would not be deleted, but is fixed in this release.

CLI changes

– Added -C, --clean-fakefs flag.
– This will revert the snapshot back to when the fakefs was first created, this will not remove the fakefs.
– This only works if a snapshot is created when fakefs is created, so it will only work if fakefs is also created with release or a newer release.
– MbedTLS was updated.

The most recent version of palen1x, the bootable loader for USB flash devices that may be used with Windows Computers, includes the palera1n updates as well (version 1.1.0).

It should come as no surprise that the palera1n team is advising switching from rootful to rootless if you haven’t already, as the rootless dynamic is quickly becoming the norm in the jailbreaking world today.

While rootful will still be maintained for the foreseeable future, it’s important to note that in the Dopamine and palera1n-c world of today, most tweak developers have switched to rootless.

Only older A9-A11 chip-equipped smartphones running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.x, including the iPhone X, are supported by the palera1n jailbreak. You should instead use Dopamine, which supports A12-A15 chip-equipped devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1, to jailbreak anything newer.
