Start Installing NekoJB Jailbreak on Your iPhone or iPad

NekoJB offers two installation methods depending on your iOS version and device.

The rootful version supports devices up to the iPhone X (A11 chip and earlier). For A12+ devices (iPhone XS and newer), use the rootless version. Follow the appropriate guide below based on your iOS version.

For iOS 15 – iOS 26: NekoJB Online Installation (Rootless)

This method uses the zJailbreak third-party app store for a simple, no-PC installation.

1. Download NekoJB

Tap the button below to download the NekoJB app via the zJailbreak app store.

2. Install the App

  • Go to Settings > General > Device Management.
  • Follow the prompts to complete the NekoJB app installation.

3. Run Jailbreak

  • Open the NekoJB app from your home screen.
  • Tap Jailbreak and wait a few seconds for the process to complete.

4. Select Package Manager

  • Once complete, the NekoUtil app will appear.
  • Use it to choose your preferred package manager (e.g., Cydia, Sileo).

For iOS 15 – iOS 15.7.6: NekoJB PC Installation (Rootful)

This method requires a computer and TrollStore 2 for installing the rootful NekoJB IPA.

1. Set Up TrollStore 2

Ensure TrollStore 2 IPA installer is installed on your device. Refer to its official guide if needed.

2. Download NekoJB IPA

Tap the button below to download the latest NekoJB rootful IPA file.

3. Install NekoJB IPA

Cydia 2 As a NekoJB Alternative

Cydia 2 is a top alternative to the NekoJB jailbreak. While you can install Saurik’s original Cydia via NekoJB, it’s outdated and no longer updated by Saurik.

Cydia 2 is a modified, updated version of the classic Cydia. NekoJB users can opt for Cydia 2 instead of Saurik’s version. Like the original, Cydia 2 supports adding repositories and installing tweaks through its package manager.

NekoTroller – TrollStore for iOS 15 and iOS 16

NekoTroller – TrollStore on iOS 15-16

NekoTroller exploits a bug in Apple’s security to install Trollstore on iOS 15-16, supporting devices like iPhone X. HAHALOSAH’s tool permanently installs apps and IPAs without jailbreaking.

NekoJB Troubleshooting

1 – NekoJB App Crashes on Launch

Cause: Incomplete installation or device incompatibility

Solution: Ensure you’re using the correct NekoJB version (Online for iOS 16+, PC for iOS 15). Delete the app and reinstall via zJailbreak or TrollStore 2. If rootless, verify your device is compatible with zJailbreak and has no active profile conflicts (Settings > VPN & Device Management).

2 – Jailbreak Stuck or Not Completing

Cause: Exploit failure or conflicting system processes

Solution: Reboot your device and try again. Put the device in airplane mode before launching the jailbreak app. Disable Low Power Mode temporarily (Settings > Battery).

3 – Package Manager Not Installing

Cause: The NekoUtil app didn’t appear or install correctly

Solution: Open NekoJB again and re-run the jailbreak process. Ensure the internet connection is active when choosing a package manager. Restart the device after jailbreak and check for the NekoUtil icon again.

4 – Cydia or Sileo Crashes on Launch

      Cause: Incompatible tweak or corrupted installation

      Solution: Use another package manager (e.g., Zebra) to remove recently installed tweaks. Try Safe Mode if available. Re-jailbreak and reinstall the package manager from NekoUtil.

      5 – TrollStore Installation Fails

        Cause: Unsupported firmware or missing entitlement

        Solution: Make sure you’re on a supported iOS version (15.0–15.7.6). Use the latest version of TrollStore 2 or follow the official TrollStore 2 guide for your iOS version by clicking here.
