How does piRa1n work?

piRa1n jailbreaks your iDevice using Checkra1n.

You just have to connect the Raspberry Pi 4/Banana pi M2 Zero to a powerbank. After that, plug you iDevice to the Pi. Put it in DFU mode and let piRa1n do the rest!

⚠️ Disclaimer

If you use piRa1n, please note that I am in no way responsible for any damage to your devices. I recommend to make an iCloud/iTunes backup before jailbreaking your device.

Parts list

  • a Raspberry Pi 4 with either 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of RAM (1GB of RAM is enough and cheaper so I recommend the 1GB version) or a Banana pi M2 Zero
  • a USB to USB Type-C cable (Raspberry Pi 4) or a USB to micro USB cable (Banana pi M2 Zero)
  • a micro USB to USB adapter (only for the Banana pi M2 Zero)
  • a USB to lightning cable
  • a power bank (For better performances, make sure it supports 5V/3A output.)
  • a MicroSD Card of at least 8GB
