How it works: It boots the device with multiple patches required. On first run, it'll boot a ramdisk which dumps your onboard blob, creates a fakefs (if using semi tethered), installs the loader app, and patches your kernel.

Installing (macOS)

Install here the dependencies of Sliver, it should work for iRevive also: https://www.appletech752.com/dependencies.sh

Run bash (drag and drop here the file)

Download the ZIP file from the releases and extract it

Drag and drop the iRevive.app to the Applications folder

Run these commands:

sudo xattr -r /Applications/iRevive.app
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iRevive.app
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iRevive.app
sudo xattr -r com.apple.quarantine /Applications/iRevive.app
chmod 755 /Applications/iRevive.app

Now open the iRevive app

Now for iOS 12-14 click "start checkra1n" and for iOS 15-16 click "start palera1n"

When the device is jailbroken, you can click bypass iOS 12-16

The bypass is now done

Install with python3 if the steps above didn't work for you (macOS)

Install the dependencies of Sliver, it should work for iRevive also: https://www.appletech752.com/dependencies.sh

Run bash (drag and drop here the file)

download iRevive and unzip it

Open a terminal window and cd to the directory that iRevive was downloaded to.

Run these commands:

git init -b main
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ./*
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./*
sudo chmod 755 ./*

Now cd to the device and ramdisk folder inside the iRevive folder and run the last 3 commands above again

cd the iRevive directory again

to launch the app, run this in terminal:

python3 iRevive.py

Now for iOS 12-14 click "start checkra1n" and for iOS 15-16 click "start palera1n"

When the device is jailbroken, you can click bypass iOS 12-16

Save the activation files and restore them after iTunes restore
