Installing nathanlr

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

DANGER

Before continuing, please read the following information below in full.

nathanlr is what is considered a semi-jailbreak, and is not a full-fledged, proper jailbreak.

Semi-jailbreaks - while allowing you to use a decent percentage of tweaks - do not have the same compatibility or capabilities as a full-fledged jailbreak. You will probably run into a fair number tweaks (such as some that inject into daemons) that do not fully work as intended.

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.

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

The tool is capable of semi-jailbreaking A12 and later devices on iOS/iPadOS versions 16.5.1 to 16.6.1.

We will first use Sideloadly to sideload TrollInstallerX, then use TrollInstallerX to install TrollStore, and then install nathanlr from there.

Installing TrollStore

TIP

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

Requirements

TrollInstallerX is currently signed at jailbreaks.app for easy installation without a computer.

Installing the application

  1. Open Sideloadly
  2. Plug your iOS device into your computer
    • Make sure your computer is trusted and allowed to view the contents of your device
  3. Drag and drop the TrollInstallerX .ipa file into Sideloadly
  4. Enter in your Apple ID
  5. Enter in your password

The app will now install to your iOS device.

Trusting the application

  1. Go to Settings -> General -> Device Management -> <Your Apple ID>
    • Depending on your usage, Device Management may be labeled Profiles and Device Management
  2. Tap Trust "<Your Apple ID>"

The TrollInstallerX application can now be opened from home screen.

DANGER

Unless you used jailbreaks.app to install TrollInstallerX, you'll also need to enable Developer Mode.

To do so, go into Settings -> Privacy & Security and then scroll down until you see Developer Mode, tap that option, toggle Developer Mode on, and follow the on-screen instructions

Running TrollInstallerX

  1. Open TrollInstallerX
  2. Tap Install TrollStore
    • If your device is stuck on "Exploiting Kernel", reboot your device
  3. When prompted to select an app to install the persistence helper into, select an app you care about the least
    • If you don't know what app to select, select Tips
    • If your device reboots before getting to this step, try again

The persistence helper should now be installed into the app you selected.

Installing TrollStore

WARNING

If the persistence helper is not installed into the app you selected, shut down your device normally, turn your device back on, open the app you want as your persistence helper, then close the app (from the app switcher) and run TrollInstallerX again.

  1. Open the app you selected as your persistence helper from your home screen
  2. Press Install TrollStore.

TrollStore will now be installed to your device.
