How to install TrollStore on iOS 14.0-15.6.1 with TrollHelperOTA

We previously showed our readers how to install TrollStore on non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 with Sideloadly and TrollInstaller, but project developer Lars Fröder (@opa334) has since recommended a different method for installing TrollStore that works on all arm64e (A12 and newer) devices running iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.6.1, 15.5 betas 1-4, and 15.6 betas 1-5 and arm64 (A9-A11) devices running iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.6.1.

The newer TrollStore installation method utilizes something that Fröder calls TrollHelperOTA, and it’s much easier than the method discussed in the previous post. That’s why we’re making this new tutorial showcasing how you can install TrollStore with TrollHelperOTA in just a few easy steps.

What is TrollStore?

Let’s briefly touch on what TrollStore is and why you might want to use it.

TrollStore is an app that utilizes a CoreTrust bug that affects various iOS & iPadOS versions spanning 14.0-16.6.1 and 17.0. The CoreTrust bug allows apps to be permanently signed on the device in question. This is a lot like sideloading an app with AltStore or Sideloadly, which requires an app to be signed once every seven days with a valid Apple ID, but because apps installed with TrollStore are permanently signed, there is no need to manually sign them as is the case with sideloading.

TrollStore can perma-sign virtually any .ipa or .tipa file, with the former being an iOS or iPadOS application file, and the latter being a separate filetype designed especially for TrollStore. Users can install general apps, modded apps, and even jailbreak apps with TrollStore.

TrollStore is not a jailbreak in and of itself, but the elevated privileges afforded to apps that are perma-signed with it allow those apps to make interesting modifications to the system that wouldn’t ordinarily be possible without a jailbreak. If you’re able to install TrollStore, you absolutely should, as it’s a fun way to make more things possible on your iPhone or iPad. You can even use it to permanently sign the Dopamine jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1.
