This guide will explain how to jailbreak an iPhone 6S on iOS 15.7.3 using Palen1x on a Windows PC. Palen1x is a  bootable Linux environment where you can run Palera1n.

At the time of creating this guide, there are some things to take note of:
  • This won't work on Virtual Machines
  • You might run into issues on an AMD Ryzen CPU so use a PC with Intel CPU
  • For A11 devices, ensure to disable your passcode. You'll be unable to use SEP functionality like your Passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, and Apple Pay till you boot into a stock iOS state.
  • For A11 devices running iOS 16 on which the passcode had ever been enabled, you'll need to disable it and erase all content and settings (factory reset) before attempting to jailbreak
  • Palera1n can jailbreak iOS devices with A8(X) to A11 running iOS 15 and higher

Part II


  1. Repeat the process with just flag -f i.e You could either reboot and skip the part where you changed options (FakeFS / BindFS) or go under Switch and toggle between Rootful and Rootless. The goal here is to clear flags so you have only -f

  2. The device should boot up again once done. Connect to WiFi and wait for a few minutes. Palera1n should appear in your app drawer

Important Notice
  • This is Semi-untethered so you'll have to re-do the part II section each time you reboot the iOS device if you used FakeFS
  • For more information, see their installation guide  https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-palera1n/ 
  • If you run into trouble entering DFU on a USB-C to Lightning cable then switch to a USB-A to Lightning cable
