Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released an updated build of Dopamine v2 on Wednesday, officially bringing the rootless, semi-untethered jailbreak tool up to version 2.0.6.
The updated build, announced via a post shared to X (formerly Twitter) appears to introduce the following changes per the change log on the project’s GitHub page:
– More kfd adjustments, should be even more reliable now (Contributed by @dhinakg)
– Fix a random panic caused by a launchd crash when trusting certain files
– Fix boomerang zombie processes getting created when userspace rebooting
– Workaround a stock bug where nano launch daemons would not get registered after a userspace reboot, resuling in some apple watch functionality breaking
– Various UI improvements (Contributed by @tomt000)
-Fix a race condition resulting in an app crash during jailbreaking
– Fix support for iOS 16.4b1 – 16.4b3
– Properly abort with an error if creating /var/jb fails
– Prefer physpuppet over landa on devices that support it
– Fix smith and physpuppet being selectable on iOS 15.x, even on versions that they do not support
This update appears to be at least somewhat significant, as it boosts the reliability of the Kernel File Descriptor (KFD) exploit and improves the stability of the jailbreak and the jailbreak app itself.
This build also fixes compatibility with iOS & iPadOS 16.4 beta 1 through beta 3.
If you’re an existing Dopamine user, then you should update to the latest version at your earliest convenience to take advantage of this long list of improvements to the jailbreak’s reliability and stability.
Existing users have the option of updating over the air (OTA) from the app’s own built-in updater or by manually downloading the update from the project’s GitHub page and perma-signing it with TrollStore over their existing installation. The OTA update is the most convenient method, and will require a userspace reboot when finished:
New or prospective users are going to want to start by using the latest available version as well, since it helps ensure the smoothest first-time jailbreaking experience possible.
Dopamine v2 supports the following device and firmware combinations:
- iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.6.1 on A9-A11 devices
- iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.5.1 on A12-A14 and M1 devices
- iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.5 on A15-A16 and M2 devices
If you’ve never used Dopamine v2 before, then you can follow our step-by-step tutorial to get started with it. The process is convenient and doesn’t require a computer thanks to TrollStore’s on-device perma-signing capabilities.
