Checkra1n для Windows: как сделать джейлбрейк iOS 13 – 14.3 через ПК?

Если вы следите за новостями в области джейлбрейка, то знаете, что инструмент checkra1n не установить без Mac или компьютера с Linux. Технически это правда, но вы можете использовать инструмент bootra1n, чтобы установить checkra1n с помощью ПК с Windows.

Да, процесс установки будет сложнее, чем на Mac или Linux, но способ с bootra1n подойдёт тем, у кого есть только компьютер с Windows. Ниже мы расскажем обо всём подробнее.

Что нужно знать

Напомним, что официально джейлбрейк checkra1n всё ещё поддерживает только macOS и Linux. По сути инструмент bootra1n использует небольшую часть Linux на вашем ПК для установки checkra1n.

В процессе вам нужно записать образ диска bootra1n на пустую USB-флэшку или CD-диск, а затем запустить его на компьютере с Windows. Иными словами, вы запустите версию Linux со съёмного накопителя, а не Windows с основного жёсткого диска.

Что вам понадобится

• Пустая USB-флэшка или CD-диск с минимум 512 Мб памяти.
• 64-битный или 32-битный ПК с Windows с процессором AMD или Intel.
• iPhone или iPad, совместимый с джейлбрейком checkra1n (A7-A11).
• Кабель USB-A/Lightning с сертификацией MFi (USB-C/Lightning не подходит).
• Инструмент bootra1n (64-бит или 32-бит) или checkn1x.
• Инструмент Rufus или balenaetcher.

Все инструменты можно скачать отсюда или checkn1x отсюда, и лучше сделать это заранее. Файлы постоянно обновляются, так что прямые ссылки мы указать не можем. Чем новее версия инструмента у вас будет – тем лучше.

Как установить джейлбрейк checkra1n через ПК с Windows

1) Когда скачаете все необходимые инструменты из репозитория GitHub, подключите к компьютеру свой iPhone/iPad и USB-флэшку (или вставьте CD-диск в дисковод).

2) Нажмите на иконку инструмента Rufus правой кнопкой мыши и выберите Запуск от имени администратора. Подтвердите запуск программы:

3) Перед первым запуском программы Rufus вам может быть предложено скачать дополнительные файлы. Соглашайтесь. Когда программа откроется, она автоматически обнаружит съёмный носитель. Нажмите кнопку Select и выберите скачанный ранее файл bootra1n.ISO или checkn1x.ISO.

4) Когда выберите файл .ISO, появится новое окошко. Выберите Write in ISO image mode (recommended) и нажмите OK:

5) Адрес bootra1n.ISO или checkn1x.ISO появится в окне Rufus. Больше ничего не трогайте и просто нажмите кнопку Start:

6) Rufus предупредит вас, что носитель будет отформатирован, и на него будет записан файл .ISO. Нажмите OK:

7) Когда Rufus завершит процесс записи ISO, можете на время прощаться с Windows. Перезагрузите свой компьютер и войдите в режим BIOS (способы различаются для разных моделей, так что найдите инструкцию для своей с помощью Google). Чаще всего это делается зажатием клавиши F2 или Delete во время загрузки.

8) Когда активируется режим BIOS, найдите опцию Запуска (Boot) и убедитесь, что в первой строке стоит только что записанный USB-накопитель:

9) Сохраните изменения и перезагрузите компьютер. Когда он запустится, вы увидите не Windows, а другой интерфейс. Нажмите клавишу Enter, чтобы продолжить:

10) Дальше появится интерфейс, похожий на командную строку (Terminal). Когда он завершит загрузку, то появится запрос логина и пароля. Введите следующее:

• логин: anon
• пароль: voidlinux

11) Теперь нужно вводить команды после символа “$”. Введите следующее:

12) Загрузится программа checkra1n, и выглядеть это будет так:

13) С помощью клавиш со стрелками выберите опцию Start, а затем нажмите Enter.

14) Дальше вам нужно будет ввести свой iPhone или iPad в режим DFU. Выберите опцию Next и нажмите Enter.

15) Следуйте инструкциям на экране, чтобы активировать режим DFU. Выберите опцию Start и нажмите Enter, а затем выполните действия для своего устройства:

16) Когда вы войдёте в режим DFU, bootra1n начнёт процесс установки джейлбрейка:

17) На вашем устройстве появится экран загрузки checkra1n. Не отключайте его от компьютера до завершения процесса.

18 Когда процесс завершится, вы можете перезагрузить компьютер и с помощью режима BIOS выбрать жёсткий диск с Windows для запуска.

Примечание: Чтобы перезагрузить компьютер с экрана bootra1n, используйте следующую команду:

19) На вашем устройстве с iOS должно появиться приложение checkra1n. Откройте его.

20) Выберите секцию Cydia и нажмите Install Cydia.

21) Приложение установит менеджер твиков Cydia:

22) Запустите Cydia и обновите источники.

Вместо Cydia вы также можете установить и более современный менеджер твиков Sileo.
Поздравляем, вы установили джейлбрейк без Mac и компьютера с Linux!

Вывод

Да, процесс дольше и сложнее, чем с использованием Mac или Linux, но для многих это единственный способ установить джейлбрейк checkra1n. В будущем должна появиться официальная поддержка checkra1n на Windows, но когда именно – неизвестно.

После завершения процесса, не забудьте вернуться в меню BIOS и переключиться на Windows. В ином случае, компьютер продолжит загружаться с накопителя, а при его отключении выдаст ошибку.
