Jailbreak tutorial
Jailbreak your iPhone,
step by step.
Watch the full walkthrough, then grab the tools you need. The recording shows a rootless setup — the steps are the same for RootHide, just use the Relaxin links below.
Quick guide
From stock iPhone to live camera in 8 steps
Follow in order. Each step links straight to the download you need. Using Dopamine instead of Relaxin? The steps are the same — just swap the jailbreak app.
- 1
Check your iPhone
Open Settings → General → About and note the model and iOS version. VCamory needs iOS 15 – 18 with the Dopamine (RootHide) or Relaxin jailbreak, and a device those tools support.
- 2
Download the jailbreak app
Get the .ipa from the official site only — never from a mirror. Save it on the computer you will use for the next step.
- 3
Install the computer tools
Windows: install iTunes (64-bit, the Apple download — not the Microsoft Store version), then Sideloadly. Mac: only Sideloadly is needed.
- 4
Sideload the IPA to your iPhone
Connect the iPhone with a cable and tap Trust on the phone. Open Sideloadly, drag the .ipa in, enter your Apple ID, and press Start. Then on the iPhone go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management and trust your Apple ID.
- 5
Run the jailbreak
Open the Relaxin (or Dopamine) app and tap Jailbreak. The phone will respring; wait until it is back on the lock screen. It is semi-untethered: after every reboot, open the app and jailbreak again.
- 6
Create your VCamory account & pick a plan
Register, add funds, and choose Wireless or USB + Wi‑Fi. The plan unlocks the protected downloads.
- 7
Install VCamory on both devices
In your User panel → Downloads, choose your iOS version and package format, download the iPhone .deb and open it with Sileo on the phone. Then download VCamory Studio for Mac or Windows and install it.
- 8
Connect and go live
Open Studio on the computer, then tap the floating VCamory button on the iPhone, sign in and pick the source. Your scene now shows up as the iPhone camera in any app.
Check your device
Record your exact iPhone model, iOS version and jailbreak bootstrap. Current VCamory editions are published for Dopamine (RootHide) and Relaxin.
Choose one matching package
Install only one edition at a time. RootHide packages are already converted; do not convert them again.
Sign in and connect
Tap the floating VCamory button. Sign in, then choose the source in the compact control panel. Match the computer address shown by Studio.
Check the actual result
Confirm the picture in your destination app. Test any saved photo or recording you need before relying on the setup.
