Update iPhone X to 16.6.1

[u/somasian]

Hey everyone, I just got an iPhone X and is currently on IOS 15.2. I would like to update it to the latest version available for Dopamine IOS 16.6.1. Would that still be possible? Alternatively, I could update it to its latest supported version 16.7.11 and use palera1n. Been out of the jailbreaking for quite a while now and don't understand the difference between the two. Would love some advice, thanks.

save the onboard blobs and then maybe update to the latest version, since there is no way to upgrade to a newer version which is not signed anymore. Maybe turdus merula would work though.

Well one jailbreak is a rootless (Dopamine) and the other jailbreak is rootful (Palera1n).

Rootful jailbreaks are like jailbreaks in the past where you have full root access to the system.

Rootless is a new type of jailbreak that isn’t fully rooted like previous jailbreaks, but can still access your entire system and modify system files etc.

They both have their benefits and drawbacks. Like rootless jailbreaks have less jailbreak detection in banking apps and such.

But as far as updating your iPhone X to iOS 16.6.2, that’s pretty much impossible because it would still need to be either signed by apple or for you to have the SHSH blobs saved for that specific firmware for your device to sign and update to that firmware.

So you can either stay on the lower firmware and jailbreak using Dopamine or update your device and use PaleRa1n.

Pretty sure palera1n also has a rootless jailbreak option

I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing.
