How fast is the jailbreak process?
NathanLR utilizes a fast userland PAC bypass, allowing the jailbreak process to complete in under one second. This makes it one of the fastest jailbreak solutions available.
What does "rootless" mean?
Rootless refers to a jailbreak architecture that doesn't modify the root filesystem. NathanLR uses a rootless approach, which means:
- Tweaks are installed without modifying system files
- Better compatibility with system updates
- Easier to remove if needed
- Compatible with most Dopamine tweaks without converters
Will jailbreaking void my warranty?
Yes, jailbreaking your device may void your warranty. However, you can restore your device to its original state by updating iOS or restoring from a backup, which may restore warranty coverage. Always backup your device before jailbreaking.
Is NathanLR safe to use?
NathanLR is designed with safety and stability in mind. However, jailbreaking always carries some risk. We recommend:
- Creating a full backup before jailbreaking
- Only installing tweaks from trusted sources
- Following installation instructions carefully
- Keeping your device updated with compatible tweaks
Can I use NathanLR with other jailbreak tools?
No, you should not use NathanLR alongside other jailbreak tools. Having multiple jailbreak solutions installed can cause conflicts, instability, and potential boot loops. Remove any existing jailbreak before installing NathanLR.
What tweaks are compatible with NathanLR?
NathanLR is compatible with most rootless tweaks, especially those designed for Dopamine. Since NathanLR uses a rootless architecture, tweaks that require root filesystem access may not work. Always check individual tweak compatibility before installing.
Do I need to re-jailbreak after restarting my device?
Yes, NathanLR is a semi-untethered jailbreak, which means you need to re-run the jailbreak process after each reboot. Simply open the NathanLR app and tap the "Jailbreak" button again. The process is fast (under one second), so it's quick and easy.
Can I update iOS after jailbreaking?
Updating iOS will remove the jailbreak and restore your device to stock iOS. If you update to an unsupported iOS version, you may not be able to re-jailbreak until NathanLR adds support for that version. Always check compatibility before updating.
What if the jailbreak fails?
If the jailbreak fails, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure your iOS version is exactly one of the supported versions
- Restart your device and try again
- Make sure you've trusted the developer certificate
- Check that no other jailbreak tools are installed
- Ensure you have enough storage space
