Unable to re-jailbreak nor able to restorerootfs on iPhone 6S - iOS 15.7.5

[karmic fox]

Hey there, I'm currently having a problem with palera1n

I accidentally shut off my device, and when I tried to re-jailbreak using sudo ./palera1n.sh --tweaks 15.7 --semi-tethered, it did managed to somewhat do it, but the iPhone would reset itself after 3-5 seconds while booting in verbose mode.

So I thought maybe there's a broken tweak that I installed, I tried to restorefs by using CL sudo ./palera1n.sh --restorerootfs 15.7 --tweaks --semi-tethered. But it said that something goes wrong and it can't do it.

I did noticed that whenever palera1n tries to enter recovery mode, the usbmuxd does said something like Device 2 disconected at 2XXX, but I don't know if it's the root of the problem. (I did try out different port but it still persist).

(Setup: USB-A Lighting Port, Palera1n legacy (I still prefer the manual tweak activation at startup), Ubuntu 22)) (The log contains usbmuxd and palera1n CLI logs when restorerootfs, normal rejailbreak is fine)

Once again, any help is appreciated!

no clue, have you tried palera1n-c?

yeah @karmic fox your using an extremely outdated version of palera1n

download palera1n beta 5 (NOT BETA 6, IT HAS ISSUES WITH INSTALLATION ON ROOTFUL) and run

palera1n —force-revert -f

then run

palera1n —force-revert

then, create either a fakefs or a BindFS, depending on how much space you have

BindFS is about 3-5GB

fakefs is 5-10GB

bindFS = palera1n -Bf, then to boot to the fakefs/BindFS run palera1n -f

FakeFS = palera1n -fc to create the fakefs, then palera1n -f to boot to it

so first time setup run either bindfs or fakefs setup, then from that point on just boot to it

@keen star Oh and any version of palera1n 2.0.0 betas would always stuck on

hmm

your phone could be slow

happens to me rarely on my 8, usually almost works

ykw it could be

do u have an AMD PC

AMD doesn’t do well with checkm8, that could be the issue

@karmic fox

Also I don't know if the [08:31:58.459][3] Connected to v2.0 device 1 on location 0x20007 with serial number b2ff9a6b8075130541c5fbedefb1b2cf1f570bb7 [08:32:12.348][3] Removed device 1 on location 0x20007 an issue here

whenever my phone enters recovery mode, it does that

[keen star]

happens sometimes

[karmic fox]

Not anymore unfortunately

[keen star]

ever gotten palera1n-c to work?

are you perhaps using a USB-C cable?

also make sure to use a stock apple cable

for the best outcome

[karmic fox]

Used to make it work months ago, but I accidentally do rootful instead of rootless
I don't think USB is an issue because I'm using USB-A cable that I bought from certified store last month

[keen star]

odd

try a different port and cable

[karmic fox]

Okay, I just try to reset and redo because the timeout is still here, this time usbmuxd shows this

I've able to fixed it, by not updating Linux/macOS at all.
