What is Dopamine?

A rootless, semi-untethered jailbreak solution for modern iOS and iPadOS devices.

What does Dopamine do?

Dopamine is a sophisticated, rootless jailbreak designed for iOS and iPadOS devices, specifically supporting versions 15.0 through 17.3.1 on various architectures (A12-A16, M1-M2). It operates without modifying the core root filesystem, utilizing modern kernel exploits to achieve system access while maintaining high stability and security. The project provides an automated build environment based on Procursus, allowing developers to compile and deploy the jailbreak application directly. By focusing on a rootless architecture, Dopamine modernizes device customization while minimizing the risk of catastrophic system corruption.

Who is Dopamine for?

Dopamine is intended for iOS security researchers, tweak developers, and advanced users seeking to customize their devices. It requires familiarity with sideloading applications and the risks inherent in jailbreaking.

How do I get started with Dopamine?

• Rootless Architecture: Operates entirely in user space without modifying the protected root filesystem.
• Semi-Untethered Execution: Requires an application to re-apply the jailbreak after a device reboot.
• Broad Device Support: Compatible with a wide range of modern ARM64e and ARM64 Apple devices.
• Modern Exploit Integration: Utilizes cutting-edge kernel exploits (like kfd and pua) to bypass iOS security mitigations.
• Automated Build System: Leverages Makefile and Procursus for streamlined compilation of the jailbreak application.

1. 3.0.103.0.10Sep 23, 202646.7K downloads

   - Expose an API to frida that allows it to hook memory over hookd, fixes panics when using frida on iOS 26+ (Requires frida >=17.19.0) (contributed by @devnoname120) - Fix Xcode debugging being broken on iOS 17+ after a userspace reboot if a developer disk image was already mounted before the userspace reboot

2. 3.0.93.0.9Aug 22, 2026217.4K downloads

   - Fix jailbreak apps not being removed from home screen when removing the jailbreak on iOS 18.0 - 18.3.1 too

3. 3.0.83.0.8Aug 22, 20264.6K downloads

   - Fix jailbreak apps not being removed from home screen when removing the jailbreak on iOS 18.4+ - Remove "Remove Jailbreak" button from settings when the device is jailbroken since it was too unstable, it will now only show up when not jailbroken on TrollStore installations, the only supported uninstallation flow on non TrollStore installations is now to reboot and rejailbreak with the "Remove Jailbreak" toggle enabled - Fix "Hide Jailbreak" explanation not showing up in app settings [2.5 beta regression] - Improve "Hide Jailbreak" explanation in app settings to cause less confusion about what it does and emphasize the fact the user should only use it on their own risk

4. 3.0.73.0.7Aug 15, 202672.9K downloads

   - Fix an OOB kernel write during the jbupdate process that could cause a panic and in some cases leave the file `/var/jb/basebin/gen/dyld.old` in a corrupted state where it cannot be deleted anymore (Technically not a 3.0 regression, just 3.0 made the allocation smaller which is why the issue is only noticeable since 3.0) - During rejailbreak, `/var/jb/basebin/gen/dyld.old` corruption is now automatically detected and if found, the issue is automatically solved by moving the corrupted file to `/private/preboot/<UUID>/orphaned-<UUID>`, which will allow rejailbreaking to work again

5. 3.0.63.0.6Aug 14, 20265.4K downloads

   - Fix "Finalizing Bootstrap" sometimes failing with "code signature invalid" error when jailbreaking a device for the first time [3.0.5 regression] DISCLAIMER: Dopamine 3.0 - 3.0.6 have had a bug where during jailbreak environment updates, a kernel panic could occur that could leave `/var/jb/basebin/gen/dyld.old` in a corrupted state where it could not be deleted anymore, as a result of this, I do not recommend using this version span and rather recommend using 3.0.7 or higher instead. If you are affected by this issue, jailbreaking with 3.0.7 will automatically resolve this issue.
