Using JailbreakMe Saffron

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

DANGER

This jailbreak is no longer functional, due to the server hosting the contents of the JailbreakMe website no longer being online.

JailbreakMe Saffron is capable of jailbreaking every device on 4.3.3, as well as all devices except the iPad 2 on 4.3 to 4.3.2 and the iPhone 4 (CDMA) from 4.2.6 to 4.2.8.

TIP

If you are using an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3 to 4.3.2, you should follow Installing Aquila instead.

JailbreakMe Saffron is an untethered jailbreak meaning that it survives a reboot and can cause a permanent bootloop if something goes wrong. If you encounter a bootloop, restore your device via iTunes or Finder (macOS Catalina and newer).
