Pwning Using Another iOS Device

LukeeGD edited this page Feb 26, 2024 · 24 revisions
  • You can use another iOS device that is jailbroken to put your target device in pwned DFU mode.
  • This can be very useful if you do not have a Mac but have a spare iOS device on hand.
  • This method can be used for iPhone 4, A6(X), and A7 devices.

  • In the picture, the iPhone 6 is the host device where iPwnder Lite is installed and USB lightning to camera adapter is plugged in. It is jailbroken with Chimera/Odysseyra1n.
  • The iPad mini 2 is the target device I will be pwning with checkm8, plugged into the iPhone 6 via the USB adapter with a lightning cable. I have also placed it in DFU mode.
  1. On your host device, install iPwnder Lite, and follow the setup in the picture above
  2. Install and open NewTerm or MTerminal on the host device
  3. Run the command ipwnder_lite -p
  4. If successful, this will put the target device in pwned DFU mode with checkm8

Notes

  • iPwnder Lite should work on most jailbreaks on iOS 9 and newer
  • For iOS 15 and newer, iPwnder Lite is also tested successfully on palera1n "Rootful." Dopamine and palera1n rootless are not compatible, even when converted with Derootifier.
  • If your host device has a USB C port (eg. newer iPads), use a USB A to USB C adapter instead of a USB A to lightning adapter. Do not use lightning to USB C cables, they will not work. Only use lightning to USB A cables.
