Jailbreaking your iOS device opens up the opportunity to change the system interface without any restrictions and
Recently, Apple has learnedquickly close security vulnerabilities in our mobile operating system and that is why we have to deal with a large number of different types of jailbreak for different versions of iOS, which can cause difficulties in the jailbreak process for inexperienced users.
Users who want to jailbreak theirdevices tend to ask the same questions, such as whether there is a jailbreak for a certain specific version of iOS or whether they should update their device to the latest version of iOS.
It is for these purposes that we have compiled the presentA detailed guide on how to jailbreak each device, for each available firmware version and the procedure for issuing a new version of iOS firmware.
In this article we will use suchterms like “64-bit” or “32-bit” device. These terms refer to iOS devices that use processors with 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. The following is a list of devices with a 64-bit processor architecture:
- iPad
- iPad Air
- iPad Air 2
- iPad Pro
- iPad mini 2
- iPad mini 3
- iPad mini 4
- iphone
- iPhone 5s
- iPhone 6
- iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 7 (iOS 10.1.x firmware only)
- iPhone 7 Plus (iOS 10.1.x firmware only)
- iPod touch
- iPod touch 6
Note:This manual will be regularly updated byas new versions of the jailbreak, new versions of iOS firmware and new tools for downgrade are released. If you are only interested in the possibility of jailbreaking your device, then you can safely skip this section and go directly to the section that mentions the corresponding version of iOS firmware that your iOS device runs under.

iOS 10.3.2
64-bit devices
If your device currently hasIf you have installed the beta version of iOS 10.3.2, we strongly recommend that you downgrade the firmware to iOS 10.3.1. Last week, the Pangu jailbreak tool was demonstrated for iOS 10.3 to 10.3.1, so there is a chance of this jailbreak being released soon, most likely within the next few weeks. If you don't want to miss your chance to jailbreak your device, then downgrade to iOS 10.3.1 before it's too late.
iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1
64-bit devices
To the surprise of all concerned, the teamPangu demonstrated jailbreak for versions of iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 and, according to rumors, the jailbreak should be released in a week or another. If your iPhone is running iOS 10.3 or iOS 10.3.1, then you are advised to stay on the current firmware version and avoid any updates.
32-bit devices
It is highly unlikely that the proposed releaseThe Pangu jailbreak tool for iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 firmware versions will support 32-bit devices. After the release of iPhone models with processors based on 64-bit architecture, many jailbreak development teams consider developing a separate version of the jailbreak for 32-bit devices as a waste of time and effort. Due to a number of significant differences in processor architecture, a jailbreak intended for a device with a 64-bit processor architecture will not work on a 32-bit device. That is why most jailbreak development teams have focused on developing a jailbreak for 64-bit rather than 32-bit devices.
Alternatively you can offerthe following option: if you still have a digital SSH signature for iOS 9, you are advised to downgrade from iOS 10 to iOS 9 using the iDeviceReRestore utility and jailbreak using the Home Depot utility.
iOS 10.2.1
64-bit devices
There is currently no jailbreak foriOS firmware version 10.2.1. The Yalu jailbreak utility, which was released some time ago, works on firmware versions iOS 10.0.1 - iOS 10.2.
Despite rumors about developmentjailbreak for versions of iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1, I would recommend treating these rumors with a certain amount of mistrust. It is recommended to wait for the official release of the jailbreak for iOS 10.3.1 by the Pangu team before switching to the updated firmware version.
If Apple releases final assemblyiOS version 10.3.2 before jailbreak release by the Pangu team, it is recommended that you quickly upgrade to iOS version 10.3.1, while the digital signature window remains open.
32-bit devices
In this case, the situation is repeated, as incase with 64-bit devices. Namely, there is no jailbreak for 32-bit devices running iOS 10.2.1. Moreover, the jailbreak expected for release for versions iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 may not support 32-bit devices. If you think otherwise, then you should use the advice prescribed above for 64-bit devices.
Or, if you still have the digitalSSH is for iOS 9, it is recommended that you downgrade from iOS 10 to iOS 9 using the iDeviceReRestore utility and jailbreak using the Home Depot utility.
iOS 10.2
IPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices
There is a jailbreak for the iOS 10 firmware version.2, but does not support iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices. Luca, the developer of this jailbreak, has announced that he is stopping development of the next version of this jailbreak tool to include support for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices. I recommend that you stay on the current firmware version and avoid updating it to increase your chances of jailbreaking in the future.
Upcoming jailbreak from the teamPangu for iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 is expected to work on all 64-bit, including iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices. Thus, you should wait for the official jailbreak version from the Pangu team to be released before using the iOS 10.3.1 firmware version.
If Apple releases iOS 10.3.2 before the jailbreak is released by the Pangu team, it is recommended that you quickly upgrade to iOS 10.3.1, while the digital signature window remains open.
Other 64-bit devices
Yalu jailbreak utility for firmware versioniOS 10.2 works on all 64-bit devices, with the exception of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices. Thus, if you have a supported 64-bit device running iOS 10.2 firmware, you can use the Yalu utility to install a jailbreak on it. A jailbreak guide for such a device is here:
- How to jailbreak iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 10.2 firmware using the Yalu Jailbreak utility
I highly recommend you stay onfirmware version iOS 10.2 and avoid upgrading to version iOS 10.3.1 for only one purpose: wait for the alleged jailbreak from the Pangu team. The latest version of the Yalu utility works stably and does not have problematic issues, so now it makes no sense to update your device. Wait for the official release of the jailbreak "Pangu".
If Apple releases iOS 10.3.2 before the jailbreak is released by the Pangu team, it is recommended that you quickly upgrade to iOS 10.3.1, while the digital signature window remains open.
32-bit devices
There is no jailbreak tool for 32-bit devices running iOS 10.2.
Despite rumors about developing a jailbreak forfirmware versions iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1, this jailbreak tool is extremely unlikely to support 32-bit devices. At the moment, we advise you to stay on the oldest possible firmware version and wait for the official jailbreak version from the Pangu team to be released and only after that see if this new jailbreak tool will support the operation of your device.
If you still have a digital signatureSSH for firmware version iOS 9, it is recommended that you downgrade from version iOS 10 to version iOS 9 using the iDeviceReRestore utility and jailbreak using the Home Depot utility.
iOS 10.1 - iOS 10.1.1
64-bit devices, including iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
There is a jailbreak for your device,running on firmware versions of iOS 10.1 - iOS 10.1.1. You can use the Yalu jailbreak utility, namely a utility called Mach_Portal, and install the jailbreak on your device. The current version of the existing jailbreak tool does not work quite stable and may contain errors, but if you are willing to take a chance and try your luck, then below is a link to a guide on how to jailbreak such devices:
- How to jailbreak iPhone or iPad devices running firmware versions of iOS 10.1 - iOS 10.1.1 using the Yalu and Cydia Impactor utilities.
At the time of writing this guidePangu jailbreak for firmware versions iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 has not yet been officially released, so I would recommend staying on the current firmware version and enjoy the advantage that the Yalu jailbreak provides for iOS 10.1 - iOS 10.1.1 firmware. In no case do not upgrade to version iOS 10.3.1 until the official version of the jailbreak “Pangu” is released.
32-bit devices
There is no jailbreak tool for 32-bit devices running firmware versions iOS 10.1 - iOS 10.1.1.

If you still have a digital signatureSSH for iOS 9, it is recommended that you downgrade from iOS 10 to iOS 9 using the iDeviceReRestore utility and jailbreak using the Home Depot utility.
iOS 10.0.1 - iOS 10.0.3
IPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices
There is no possibility of jailbreakingiPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices running iOS 10.0.1 – iOS 10.0.3 firmware versions. Despite rumors about the imminent release of an official jailbreak for iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1 firmware versions, we strongly recommend that you stay on the current firmware version to increase your chances of jailbreaking in the future.
Update to iOS 10.3.1 is recommended to be carried out only after the release of the official version of the “Pangu” jailbreak. If Apple releases iOS 10.3.2 before the Pangu jailbreak, you are advised to quickly update to iOS 10.3.1 while the SSH signature window remains open.
Other 64-bit devices, except for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
There is a jailbreak tool for the likes ofdevices running firmware versions iOS 10.0.1 - iOS 10.0.3. To install the jailbreak, you should use the Yalu utility.

Unfortunately, there is no tool forjailbreaking for this firmware version. The Yalu utility works on versions iOS 10.0.1 - iOS 10.2, while the jailbreak Pangu supports firmware versions iOS 9.2 - iOS 9.3.3. Therefore, you are stuck in the middle of the stream in the absence of a jailbreak tool.
Rumor has it that the Pangu team is conductingdevelopment of a jailbreak for versions of iOS 10.3 - iOS 10.3.1, but still it will be preferable to stay on the current version and wait for the release of the official version of the jailbreak “Pangu”.

Finally
The main idea of this article is that it’s not worth it.fully trust the rumors about the upcoming release of the updated version of the jailbreak, and wait for the official release of its working version. Do not upgrade to the latest firmware version just because, according to rumors, the updated jailbreak tool for this latest firmware version will be released soon. But except in cases where there is a threat of closing the SSH digital signature window for this firmware version.
Another important point is the needsaving SHSH digital signatures for the latest iOS firmware versions. A stored SHSH digital signature will allow you to painlessly upgrade or downgrade your device's firmware even when the company stops issuing a digital signature for that firmware. Tools like Prometheus will allow you to upgrade or downgrade your device's firmware as long as it has a stored SHSH digital signature. You can save the SHSH digital signature using the "TSSSaver" tool.
That's all. We hope that our guide will help you avoid any unclear moments regarding the jailbreak of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. If you find errors in this article or find a lack of essential information, please write about it in the comments below to make appropriate changes to this guide!
