Using Hackt1vator (checkm8)

Hackt1vator is an untethered bypass tool for Checkm8-compatible devices and A12+ devices up to iOS 26.1.

Requirements

• A computer running Windows or MacOS with Hackt1vator installed.
• A 128MB or greater USB Drive.
  • If you don't have a USB Drive, but do have another form of supported removable bootable hardware (e.g. an SD card or DVD), you can use that instead of a USB Drive.
• The latest version of palen1x.
• Ventoy.

Jailbreaking

1. Download and extract the contents of the ventoy-x.x.x-windows.zip file.
2. Insert your USB drive if you have not already done so, and open the Ventoy2Disk.exe file.
3. Select the USB drive you would like to boot palen1x from.
   • This USB drive will be completely erased. Ensure you back up all important data beforehand!
4. Click Install and confirm that you are okay with erasing the USB drive.
   • Do not remove your USB Drive until the process has completed.
5. Once it has installed, copy the palen1x iso file that you downloaded onto the USB drive.
6. Reboot, and then go into your BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot, then enter the boot picker and select your USB Drive to boot from.

• This is different for every computer. Search your PC or motherboard brand to find out how to get to your BIOS settings if you are unsure.

7. Press enter once you see the Ventoy screen to boot into palen1x.
8. Once you have loaded palen1x, select Shell.
9. Type palera1n -l.
