Profit! (or probably, try again since it’s not very reliable).If it’s no longer listed try to unplug the USB-C cable from the Android device and plug it again. Check that your iDevice is still recognized.Put your iDevice in DFU mode, see for instructions.Open the terminal app and gain root access.Put it in a directory where execution is allowed, I used /data but the Termux virtual storage may be a cleaner solution.Download the checkra1n binary for Linux and the correct µarch of your Android device.

I used the Exsys EX-47990 USB-C to USB-A adapter and the Apple USB-A to Lightning cable. In particular some of the Apple USB-C to Lightning cables cannot be used to put iDevices in DFU mode due to missing pins.

A terminal app on your Android device, for instance Termux.

I used a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact on Android 10 with kernel 4.14, rooted with Magisk 20.3. Newer Linux and Android versions are more likely to work.

In the short video, you can see that an old (and rooted) Sony Xperia XZ1 is connected to an iPhone SE running iOS 13.3, before being jailbroken using this method. You still need to carry around two smartphones, as one is needed to boot the other. Over on the /r/jailbreak subreddit, user /u/stblr used the recent Linux support for the software means that so long as you have a rooted Android phone, you can create a portable kit for a portable jailbreak solution (via XDA-developers).

However, someone has managed to use their rooted Android phone to jailbreak an iPhone running iOS with checkra1n. The limitations of checkra1n mean that you have to re-jailbreak each time you reset your device - which is a bit of a pain plugging into a PC or Mac each time you need to. Tools like QuickpPwn made it easier to jailbreak back in the day, but more recent options like checkra1n make it possible for iPhone users to get root access on their iOS 13 devices. Rooting your Android phone might be reasonably easy but jailbreaking an iPhone is still more of a cat and mouse affair.
