Dopamine Jailbreak: Here is how to jailbreak with Dopamine

After a lengthy wait, the Dopamine jailbreak tool developed by @opa334 (Lars Fröder) is now available for recent devices (arm64e architecture) running iOS 15.0-15.4.1. Initially referred to as Fugu15 Max during the beta phase, it has been released as a free download for all users since last night. Let’s delve into its functionalities and learn how to install it.

Fröder made the official announcement of Dopamine on Twitter and Reddit, with the latter hosting the official download page. Dopamine is a rootless jailbreak that features a comprehensive user interface and supports tweak injection.

It addresses all the bugs present in Linus Henze’s Fugu15 jailbreak, which serves as a significant foundation for Dopamine. It’s important to note that Dopamine exclusively supports arm64e (A12+) devices, which means it can be utilized on iPhone XS and newer models running iOS 15.0-15.4.1 firmware. iOS 16 is not supported. Similarly, older devices with A9-A11 chips are not compatible with Dopamine, but they can be jailbroken using the palera1n-c-based jailbreak tool, leveraging the checkm8 hardware flaw, on iOS 15.x-16.x.

One notable advantage of Dopamine is its ability to be permanently signed to your device using TrollStore. This eliminates the need for re-signing every seven days, which was a requirement for older jailbreaks installed via AltStore or Sideloady. Although you will need to re-jailbreak after each reboot, the convenience of having a permanently signed app eliminates the necessity of having a Mac or PC computer nearby.

It’s worth mentioning that Dopamine is a rootless jailbreak, meaning it does not provide root access. Consequently, you will only be able to use compatible packages without root access. Developers have already begun updating their tweaks to work seamlessly with Dopamine.
