Overview
This guide outlines the process for installing the Taurine semi-untethered jailbreak on iOS/iPadOS devices running versions 14.0 to 14.8.1, including prerequisites, installation steps, and initial setup.
Compatibility and Precautions
- Taurine supports all devices on iOS/iPadOS 14.0–14.8.1.
- Remove any prior jailbreaks (except Odysseyra1n) before proceeding.
- Reliable support for 1TB and 2TB M1 iPad Pros requires an unofficial build of Taurine.
- Do not proceed with unofficial builds unless comfortable with non-official releases.
Installing TrollStore (Prerequisite)
- TrollStore must be installed before Taurine; skip if already installed.
TrollHelperOTA Method (A12 and Later)
- Open Safari and navigate to the guide page.
- Download and install TrollHelper via the provided itms-services link.
- The "GTA Car Tracker" app is TrollHelper.
- Open "GTA Car Tracker," register persistence helper, and install TrollStore.
TrollInstallerX Method (A11 and Earlier)
- Requirements: Latest Sideloadly, iTunes (Windows), and TrollInstallerX.
- Open Sideloadly, connect device, and sideload TrollInstallerX.ipa using Apple ID credentials.
- Trust the app in device management settings to enable launch.
- Open TrollInstallerX and install TrollStore, selecting a low-priority app for persistence helper if prompted.
Installing Taurine
- Download the latest Taurine .ipa (unofficial build for specific M1 iPad Pros).
- Open TrollStore, tap "+" to add the Taurine .ipa, then tap "Install."
- Taurine app appears on your device upon completion.
Running Taurine Jailbreak
- Optionally reboot the device, then open Taurine and tap "Jailbreak."
- Reboot when prompted, then re-open Taurine to complete jailbreak.
- If the process fails or device crashes, repeat reboot and exploit steps.
Troubleshooting
- For errors like ERR_Jailbreak, ERR_Already_Jailbroken, or ERR_KernRW, consult the Taurine/Odyssey troubleshooting guide linked in the documentation.
Installing Necessary Software via Sileo
- Open Sileo, search for and upgrade "libiosexec1."
- Search for "libhooker (common)," "PreferenceLoader," and "RocketBootstrap," add to install queue, and confirm installation.
- Restart SpringBoard when prompted.
Recommendations / Advice
- Use the official Taurine build unless you have a 1TB/2TB M1 iPad Pro and are comfortable with unofficial builds.
- Avoid using unofficial builds on unsupported devices.
- Fully remove previous jailbreaks to prevent complications.
