How to Jailbreak A7 Devices using checkra1n on bootable USB drive

Step 1 You will need:

  • USB flash drive (You also can burn a DVD).
  • USB 2 lightning cable.
  • 64-bit or 32-bit AMD or Intel PC.
  • A7 chip up to date device - Link.

Step 2 - Download bootra1n:

  • You can seek the latest version here - Link.

Step 3 - Write bootra1n to USB:

  • Using Rufus - Link.
  • Download Rufus. (I recommend the portable version)
  • Press SELECT, open the "bootra1n" ISO file, and press START to flash it to your USB drive.

It will erase your drive!

Step 4 - Reboot and run checkra1n:

  • Select the flash drive on boot device options on your PC.
  • Choose USB SAFE MODE!
  • And it should boot into the login prompt
  • Log in as anon, with password voidlinux.
  • At the $ prompt, enter- sudo checkra1n.

Step 5 - Jailbreak:

  • Plug your device into your PC. Trust your device if necessary.

Remove touch id and passcode before entering the setup.

  • The checkra1n app should automatically detect your device and firmware type.
  • Click the Start button (using your arrow and enter keys to navigate).
  • Checkra1n will want to put your device into Recovery Mode before proceeding. Click the Next button.
  • You will now want to follow the on-screen instructions to enter DFU mode.
  • After you successfully enter DFU mode, checkra1n will begin exploiting and jailbreaking your device.
  • After 2-5 minutes in "this is the real bug setup" you will get the following error message: INFO: task checkra1n:1100 blocked for more than 122 seconeds.
  • Disconnect your device till you get this message: DFUSyncUpload FAILED: -1.
  • Than reconnect your device. (quickly)
  • Now the Operation should continue as normal and youll see booting....
  • Your iOS device should now display the checkra1n-themed verbose boot screen.

Do not disconnect it until after the jailbreak completes.

  • After the jailbreak finishes, you can click on Done and disconnect your device.

Step 6 - Installing Cydia:

  • On your iOS device, you should now see the checkra1n loader app on the Home screen.

It may take up to 5 minutes to appear (If not repeat setup from start).

  • Open it, tap on the Cydia app, and Install Cydia.
  • The checkra1n loader will then begin downloading the base system and installing Cydia.

It may reboot your device.

  • When finished, the app will close and Cydia will appear on your Home screen. Congratulations, jailbreak complete!
