Since you're switching to a MacBook, here's the cleanest and most reliable way to jailbreak your iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8.3) using Palera1n.
🍎 Step 1: Install Palera1n on macOS
Open Terminal.app and run:
sudo /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://static.palera.in/scripts/install.sh)"
-
This downloads the latest Palera1n binary and installs it globally. (docs.palera.in)
-
Use this command again only when updating Palera1n.
🔌 Step 2: Connect Your iPhone and Use a Good Cable
-
Prefer USB-A to Lightning cable (USB-C may cause DFU issues). (github.com)
-
If using USB-C ports on Apple Silicon, replug after "Checkmate!" appears in logs. (ios.cfw.guide)
⌨️ Step 3: Run the Jailbreak
In Terminal, run:
palera1n -l
or for tweaks and semi-tethered:
sudo palera1n --tweaks --semi-tethered
-
Make sure your iPhone is connected.
-
You'll get a prompt: Press Enter, then follow instructions to enter DFU Mode.
-
Hold Power + Volume Down for 10 s.
-
Release Power, continue holding Volume Down for 5–8 s (black screen).
-
DFU is recognized and jailbreak proceeds. (docs.palera.in, onejailbreak.com, ios.cfw.guide)
-
⭐ Tip: If it stalls in pongoOS (common on A9/A10), press Ctrl +C in Terminal and rerun the command. (ios.cfw.guide)
📲 Step 4: Install Sileo & Filza on Device
-
After jailbreak finishes, open the Palera1n Loader on your iPhone.
-
Tap Sileo to install the package manager.
-
Within Sileo, find and install Filza File Manager.
🧹 Step 5: Remove MDM Profiles
Using Filza, delete these directories:
/var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/
/var/managed/
/Library/MobileDevice/ConfigurationProfiles/
Reboot your iPhone — MDM will be removed.
🔄 Step 6: Re-jailbreak After Reboot
Since this is semi-tethered, after each reboot:
-
Re-run the same Terminal command (
palera1n -l
or--tweaks
) -
Enter DFU when prompted
-
Jailbreak restores the environment.
