Uninstalling palera1n (Linux)
This guide will assume you have palera1n on your computer already if you’ve followed installing-palera1n-linux.
Removing palera1n
Please select the environment type you want to remove.
To prepare palera1n for uninstallation, you have to restart usbmuxd so palera1n is able to detect your device.
sudo systemctl stop usbmuxd
sudo usbmuxd -f -p
Run this command in the terminal of your choice. This is probably one of Terminal, Console, Konsole, Kitty, Alacritty, or WezTerm.
sudo palera1n -l --force-revert
For rootless you’re not required to remove the jailbreak via CLI, you’re also able to do so via the built-in loader application that is installed on your phone when initially jailbreaking. This can be achieved by pressing “Restore System”. If you have done this, you may ignore the bottom steps.
To prepare palera1n for uninstallation, you have to restart usbmuxd so palera1n is able to detect your device.
sudo systemctl stop usbmuxd
sudo usbmuxd -f -p
Run this command in the terminal of your choice.
sudo palera1n -f --force-revert
Connect your device and palera1n will attempt to put the device into recovery mode, then follow the instructions that are provided to enter DFU mode.
This step is to ensure there isn’t any corruption issues when attempting to enter DFU mode via force reset/reboot.
If all goes well, your device should enter DFU mode and start jailbreaking with palera1n, this is the most important step in making sure it actually works correctly.
A9(X) and earlierdevices have an issue where they will get stuck midway through this process in pongoOS. To work around this issue, you’ll need to do the following:
1. In the terminal window, pressCTRL + C
2. Rerun the palera1n command
You’ll need to do this every time you rejailbreak your device.
After the entire process is completed, please reboot the device manually to finish the process of removing the jailbreak.
Uninstalling the binary
This assumes you’ve used the download script to get palera1n, if you did, you can use this command to completely remove it.
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/palera1n
This will most likely not work if you've installed it by other means, such as using the provided Debian packages in Releases. So you will need to use, e.g. sudo apt remove palera1n
