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.
WARNING
As this jailbreak is fundamentally different from how most other jailbreaks have been in the past, you will run into issues with tweak compatibility - these will improve over time, however.
WARNING
Dopamine only supports A12 and newer devices on iOS 15.0 to 15.4.1
Downloads
The latest version of Dopamine
- Make sure to download the
.tipa
file onto your iOS device
Installing TrollHelper
- Open Safari
- Go to https://api.jailbreaks.app/troll64e
- Tap
Install
An app named GTA Car Tracker
will now install to your iOS device. Despite the name, this app is actually TrollHelper.
Installing TrollStore
- Open the
GTA Car Tracker
app - Tap
Install TrollStore
The TrollStore application will now install to your iOS device.
Preparing TrollStore
In order to be able to sideload Dopamine, a couple more steps need to be done.
Installing Persistence Helper
- Reopen the
GTA Car Tracker
app - Press
Register Persistence Helper
The GTA Car Tracker
app can now be used as the Persistence Helper
TIP
The reason the persistence helper is highly important is that, whenever iOS rebuilds its icon cache, all apps installed by TrollStore (as well as TrollStore itself) will either disappear or no longer open.
To workaround this, the Persistence Helper (which will still open even after this happens) can refresh app registrations so that the apps will reappear and open again.
Installing Dopamine
- Go back to the
Apps
tab - Press the
+
on the top right - Go to where you saved the Dopamine
.tipa
file - Tap on the Dopamine
.tipa
file - Tap
Install
The Dopamine app will now be installed onto your device.
Running Dopamine
- Reboot your phone
- This is not necessary but recommended
- Open the Dopamine application from your home screen immediately afterwards
- Tap "Jailbreak"
TIP
If the app or your device crashes/restarts unexpectedly and the jailbreak isn't installed, simply try rebooting and running the exploit again until it does work.
Sileo should now be installed on your home screen. You can use Sileo to install tweaks, themes and more.
While you are now jailbroken at this point, we need to both update and install some packages so that we're able to both update other packages and have stuff work properly
Installing necessary software
- Open the Sileo app
- Tap on the "Sources" tab
- Tap on the "ElleKit" repository, then tap on "All Categories"
- Tap on
ElleKit
- Tap "Get"
- Tap the "Queued" bar at the bottom of the page
- Tap "Confirm"
- Once finished, tap
Restart SpringBoard Later
- Go to the "Search" tab
- Search for
PreferenceLoader
- Tap on
PreferenceLoader
- Tap on "Get"
- Tap the "Queued" bar at the bottom of the page
- Tap "Confirm"
- Once finished, tap
Restart SpringBoard
TIP
After doing all the above steps, you may need to reboot and rejailbreak in order for tweak injection to function properly.
