Quote:What is jailbreaking?
First and foremost, let’s take a moment to remember this guide is not a guarantee that you will successfully jailbreak your iPhone or iPod. When dealing with something like a jailbreak, there is always a small chance something could go wrong with your phone, and we cannot be responsible for this. But, jailbreaking, especially with Pangu, is extremely easy and you should be perfectly fine.
To jailbreak your iPhone means you are freeing it from the limitations imposed by Apple. Freeing a device means that it can install applications from outside Apple’s iTunes App Store and you can fiddle with previously restricted aspects of an iOS device. Jailbreaking can also help you unlock your iPhone to make it available on other carriers. However, it’s also worth noting that Apple warns against jailbreaking your iPhone or any other iOS device.

Backing up your precious data
When it comes to jailbreaking a device, it’s always best to back it up first. You can back up your iPhone wirelessly with iCloud, and iTunes should automatically back up your device every time you plug it in. If you’re running Mac OS Catalina or newer, you can back up your iPhone directly to your Mac via Finder. Be sure to run a backup of your device before beginning the jailbreak process so that all your music, apps, movies, and everything in between are successfully stored on your computer or in the cloud. That way, once you complete the jailbreak process, you can run a restore and get everything back. Just make sure you’ve synced your device recently. Running a sync in iTunes will back up your device by default.
Starting the jailbreak process
In order to start the jailbreak process, you need to first update your device to the latest version of iOS. In this case, it’ll be iOS 13. You can use iTunes to manage your update, or use the more convenient over-the-air (OTA) update your device offers you (Settings > General > Software Update).
Once you plug in your device to your iTunes, it will prompt you to download and run the iOS update for your device. If you haven’t already updated to the latest version of iTunes, then you should do that as well. If you are on a newer Mac and no longer have iTunes, you can update your iPhone through Finder. If your device is not jailbroken, then you will update to iOS 13 without any problems. If your device is jailbroken, iOS will fail to complete the update and go into recovery mode. Don’t panic! Simply let iTunes or Finder run a recovery with the latest version of iOS. Once completed, the device will have been reset to factory settings.
In either case, do not sync your device just yet. Instead, quickly set up your device with Wi-Fi, your Apple ID, and everything else it prompts. You can also skip these for now and get back to them later. Make sure you get to the home screen before continuing.
For iOS 13 and newer
For this next step, you don’t need a computer at all — just the iOS device you want jailbroken. Just to be safe, reboot your device.
Hexxa Plus is the first company to release a jailbreaking solution for iOS 13, so it’s fitting that it’s the method Pangu recommends. As such, we’ll quickly walk you through installing it.
Download Hexxa Plus on your device. Make sure to access that link from your iOS device, as it won’t work on a PC or MacBook.
Tap Allow > Download to download it to your iOS 13 device profile. Then head to Settings > Profile Downloaded and tap the downloaded link. You may need to confirm your device’s passcode before continuing.
Once the Hexxa Plus app is installed, you’re free to install a repo too. Pangu recommends Cydia, and to download it, open your Hexxa Plus app and tap Get Repos.
Scroll to the App Managers Repo List and tap it, then copy the “http://ios.cyrepo.tk/” address.
Re-open your Hexxa Plus app and tap Extract Repo. Then paste the copied address and tap Ok to extract the Cydia repo.
Tap the Download button, then hit Allow > Go to settings > Profile Downloaded > Install. Once you’ve entered your passcode to authorize it, you’ll just need to tap Install > Done.
Now that’s installed you can use it to download other jailbreak apps or install another marketplace.
