  1. Any news if this will be available for Windows Or Linux soon? Or if possible without a computer or is it gonna stay on semi-tethered?

    • Thanks for all your questions. We are looking for answers ourselves and it’s too early to tell as it’s in “Beta” at this moment.

    • Great !! glad that you were successful. Checkra1n app has been upgraded to new version for better compatibility and lesser issues, making it a more stable iOS 13 jailbreak tool.

  6. Does it work on iPad (5th generation)?
    While I am installing jailbreak, the following is appeared.
    “Timed out waiting for bootstrap upload (Likely caused by an incompatible tweak, to enable Safe Mode check the option on main screen) (Error code: -20)”

    Thank You.

    • Good Evening,

      Im having the same issue with my iPhone 6 12.4.3 it gives me the same error and im not sure if im doing something wrong.

  7. Jailbreak installed on iphone 6s also has a timeout waiting for the bootloader to upload possibly due to incompatible adjustments, please check the home screen for the safe mode error code:-20

    The iphone 11 Pro Max couldn’t click START either

  8. Hello, once I get to the “Double-click on checkra1n_gui file” it does not work. The message says
    “Welcome to checkra1n!
    Sorry, iPhone XS (iOS 13.2.2) is not supported”

  9. Hi I jailbreaked my iphone se 13.2.2 and I installed an apprently incompatible tweak.
    Now I dont’t have checkra anymore and I can’t open cydia nether delete it. Could somone help me thanks

  19. I have tried several times to jailbreak my iPhone 6 on 12.4.3 but no success. (and now iTunes crashes when I plug my iPhone. ) Here is the log:

  20. There’s just something i don’t get. If the exploit is related to the material means the kind of chip, then why is the software version so important? why should the phone be under ios 12.3 minimum? Your compatibility list also includes iPhone 4S but as far as i know that device is not compatible with iOS 12.3. Or am i misunderstanding ? Just asking myself and hope someone could give me an answer.

    • Thank you for pointing it out. It’s supported from iPhone 5S and above and not iPhone 4S. Apologies for the confusion. The correction has been made.

  21. Getting an error message when trying to install checkra1n 0.9.5

    Sorry, iPhone XS Max (iOS 13.1.3) is not supported.
    ECID: 0x1602d926ba002e

  22. Will there be a feature that puts the phone in dfu mode (my 5s home button doesn’t work) in the Linux version? Will there be a rpi version?

  28. Has anyone succeeded with iPad mini2? I’m in iOS 12.4…. had uncover but can’t sign app. Tried with checkra1n and no luck! Error -31 and -20… Cydia won’t work

  29. ok I found a solution, my iPhone ios 12.4 tries to jailbreak with Checkra1n. Once the jailbreak is finished and cydia installed add the source https://repo. incendo.ws then installed ReProvision once this tweaks installed open the app and connected you with your apple ID once this step is finished open safari and found unc0ver in ipa click format to download the app and open it with ReProvision for the installed be sure to sign the apps now with each restart of your iPhone you can jailbreak directly with you unc0ver app without your pc or mac
