TrollRestore is a Python-based installer that installs TrollStore on iOS/iPadOS 15.2 through 16.7 RC and 17.0 by exploiting CVE-2024-44252 in the backup system to replace a system app's binary with a TrollHelper. It runs on macOS or Windows computers and connects to the device via pymobiledevice3.
Use cases
- install TrollStore on an iPhone running iOS 17.0
- sideload TrollStore onto iOS 15.2 through 16.7 devices
- replace a system app with a TrollHelper binary via backup exploit
- jailbreak-free app installation on iPadOS 17.0
- restore a sparse backup to a system app container
When to choose
- your device is on iOS/iPadOS 15.2-16.7 RC or 17.0 and you want TrollStore
- you have a Mac (11+) or Windows 10+ PC with iTunes available
- you want the newest TrollStore installation method using the sparse restore exploit
When to avoid
- your device is on iOS 14 or 15.0-15.1.1, where restore issues are known
- you want a supported, Apple-sanctioned installation method
- you cannot connect your device to a computer
