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.

⭐ 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

  1. After jailbreak finishes, open the Palera1n Loader on your iPhone.

  2. Tap Sileo to install the package manager.

  3. 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:

  1. Re-run the same Terminal command (palera1n -l or --tweaks)

  2. Enter DFU when prompted

  3. Jailbreak restores the environment.
