Installing Dopamine

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

Dopamine is a semi-untethered jailbreak, meaning it requires an app to re-apply the exploit after a reboot.

Dopamine supports A9(X) and later devices on iOS 15.0 to 16.5, A9(X) to A14 and M1 devices on iOS 16.5.1, and A9(X) to A11 devices on iOS 16.6 to 16.6.1.

TIP

If you're using an A8(X) iPad, at this time, you should follow Installing meowbrek2 instead.

DANGER

if you are currently using rootful palera1n, you need to first Remove rootful palera1n before proceeding.

DANGER

If you have previously used Serotonin and/or Bootstrap, you will need to remove them fully before proceeding.

If you don't know what Bootstrap or Serotonin are, you can ignore this notice and proceed.

We will first install TrollStore using one of two methods (depending on your current device and iOS version), and then install Dopamine through TrollStore.

Installing TrollStore

The method that needs to be followed in order to install TrollStore depends on both your device and your current firmware version, select the tab that fits your current firmware version and device and follow the subsequent steps.

TIP

If you already have TrollStore installed, you can skip this section.
