PongoOS VS jailm8

No idea, as mentioned i just got lucky and came across this and it worked easy. https://checkra.in/

If you do jailbreak it use checkra1n

Have you tried checkra1n?

"A pre-boot execution environment for Apple boards built on top of checkra1n." - c1

oh alright, i’ve been doing it on mac and the GUI from https://checkra.in/ almost made the process automatic. so if you’re using Windows i’m no help here

So I recently learned about Odysseyra1n, before that I was using Checkra1n, and switched over to it, and based from everything l've researched and now from my own personal experience it's a lot better. So my question is, 1. why is it so unknown like I had never heard of it before this one random Reddit comment on this sub and I'm pretty in the know about most things iPhone jailbreak... 2. For those that do know about it but still use Checkra1n, why, what's the advantage?

If you’re on iOS 12.5.7 you can use checkra1n. Palera1n is for iOS 15.x and 16.x

I tried to do that first but it didn't work. So I try to manully put my iPhone into DFU mode. Maybe it the problem with ubuntu usb driver or sth idk. But Jailm8 work for me.

I recommend you follow the guide at https://github.com/SarKaa/jailm8/wiki/Jailm8-wiki as it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure when you attempt to jailbreak that you enable the BPR bypass in checkra1n's advanced settings or it won't succeed.

I'd like to add my +1 for jailm8, which has already been updated to checkra1n 0.12.4. It's been super stable for me and has a few other utilities built in, like iRecovery (which can kick you our of DFU mode). Here's the link: https://github.com/SarKaa/jailm8/releases. Just follow this guide for setting it up and it works great.

If you have a PC and a USB thumb drive, use this. Works great. If you don't have a computer at all, you could invest in a ra1nbox; they're super convenient but they're a bit pricey.

Follow this guide, it's super easy.

Jailm8 is another option; you boot it from a USB thumb drive and it boots right into checkra1n. Has a few other solid features too. Instructions are here -- it's super simple to set up. I have an ancient laptop I'd more or less junked a long time ago and now it's a dedicated checkra1n box using jailm8. :)

Okay. I think I’ve figured out what you’re trying to do here. On the jailm8 GitHub, the newest release has a note of this issue. It has instructions on how to fix it here https://github.com/SarKaa/jailm8/releases/tag/4.0.0
