Installing Antares

For support in English, ask for help on the r/Jailbreak Discord Server.

Antares is capable of jailbreaking any device on iPhone OS 1.0 to 1.1.5.

Antares is an untethered jailbreak, meaning it only requires the exploit to be run once, whether through a website, an app, or a computer.

In order to use Antares, you will need a computer.

Note that - unlike jailbreaks for newer firmwares - this jailbreak does not ship with an on-device package manager, and does not use traditional .deb tweaks. Instead, iPhone OS 1.x jailbreaks use .pxl tweaks, and with Antares, these are installed through the PXLInstaller utility. As such, no tweak that supports newer firmwares works with this jailbreak, and vice-versa.
