Hello. Some months ago I decided to remove checkra1n from my iPhone 8 and update to iOS 15.6. I didn’t know that apps still detected me as jailbroken. I can’t go back, and my backup got deleted. Any way I can delete the jailbreak files that get detected?

You can not restore from a jailbroken backup

steep bison
#

So I basically can’t remove the jailbreak files from my phone?

#

But the backup got deleted

visual cove

dfurestore

DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode is a mode which allows a device in any condition to be restored to a fresh version of iOS (not to be confused with Recovery Mode). You cannot keep data when restoring via DFU and you can only restore to a signed version.

To restore via DFU:

  • Enter DFU Mode
  • Once you enter DFU, the device should show a black screen.
  • Connect the device to a Mac/PC and open Finder/iTunes.
  • On the prompt that says "A device has been connected in recovery mode and needs to be restored" press "Restore iPhone" then "Restore and Update.”

I am have the same issue

#

And yes but also contacts.

#

Everything else can be redownloaded from App Store when restored

Hey. Forgot that I made this forum post and still have the problem. What would be the best option to do? To stay on my current version and dfu restoring or to update to latest version and then dfu restore?

There is no jailbreak files anymore unless you are referring left over preferences on varfs

if you want to keep your data you will need to modify a local backup
otherwise just erase all content and settings
@steep bison

#

but there are certain apps that dont open when i try to open them

#

an example is mario kart tour

indigo forge
#

I literally gave your the reason behind it and the solution

#

what don't you understand?

#

its impossible to have jailbreak files stay across update

#

but their preferences files stay in the userdata fs

#

meaning they persist even across backups

#

so either erase all user data, or delete those files from a backup mod then restore the modded backup

steep bison
#

so its safe to update?

#

and theres still apps that close when i try to open them

#

and that didnt happen before

#

i jailbroke

steep bison

#

yes you can update, but like I said its recommended that you delete jailbreak preference files from var

steep bison
#

right?

Just restore you're entire idevice (don't you the backup) and start from there

#

or remove the files
