Any palera1n jailbreak users out there are going to wake up to a pleasant surprise Tuesday morning, as the palera1n team published a new build of its checkm8 bootrom exploit-based jailbreak tool late last night.
In an announcement shared via Twitter, the palera1n team said it was releasing palera1n version 2.0 beta 7 and that it would incorporate the following changes:
Highlighted changes

– Added
-C,--clean-fakefsflag.
– This will revert the snapshot back to when the fakefs was first created, this will not remove the fakefs.
– This only works if a snapshot is created when fakefs is created, so it will only work if fakefs is also created with release or a newer release.
– MbedTLS was updated.
The updates to palera1n are also present in the latest version of palen1x (version 1.1.0), the bootable loader for USB flash drives that can be deployed on Windows PCs.
As the rootless dynamic becomes the way of the jailbreaking world today, it should come as no surprise that the palera1n team is also recommending switching from rootful to rootless if you haven’t already.

While rootful will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future, it’s worth noting that most tweak developers have moved on to rootless in the Dopamine and palera1n-c world we live in today.
As always, you can acquire the latest version of the palera1n-c jailbreak tool from the palera1n team’s GitHub page or official website.
The palera1n jailbreak only supports older A9-A11 chip-equipped handsets running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.x, up to and including the iPhone X. To jailbreak anything newer, you should look to Dopamine instead, which supports A12-A15 chip-equipped devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1.
