-e --exit-recovery Exit recovery mode and quit
--use-pwndfu Restoring devices with Odysseus method. Device needs to be in pwned DFU mode already
--just-boot "-v" Tethered booting the device from pwned DFU mode. You can optionally set boot-args

Sideserver

Jailm8 can download the latest sideserver installer and run it. If you require a pairing file you can manually generate one with the jitterbugpair utility and transfer it to your device.

Apple Tools

Most of the included programs require Apple Mobile Device Support 64 (AMDS64), which usually comes bundled with iTunes from the Apple website. If your computer does not have iTunes installed, you can install AMDS64 manually with jailm8. Jailm8 does this by downloading the iTunes installer from Apple's servers and extracting the relevant installer. Through the same method, jailm8 can also install iTunes as a whole (likely an old version as Apple doesn't seem to host the latest ones on their website) and Apple Software Update. Installing iTunes will install both AMDS64 and Apple Software Update, so any further updates will be handled by Apple's own tool.

The link to the old copy of AMDS64 is still in resource-links, but it is not used anymore as Jailm8 goes directly to Apple for iTunes instead.

Extra info

All jailm8 files are stored in a resources folder in the working directory. This folder will contain all the resources needed to run what you want. There is a misc folder for resources that consist of single files, or for things like preferences.
