fstab controls the read/write access of the root and media partitions. A barebones jailbreak can be put in place simply by modifying this file to grant full read/write access to the root partition (/dev/disk0s1s1). fstab was removed in iOS 14.

File Contents

Note the empty line. This is required for the file to be parsed correctly.

Before jailbreak

/dev/disk0s1s1 / hfs ro 0 1
/dev/disk0s1s2 /private/var hfs,nosuid,nodev rw 0 2

After jailbreak

/dev/disk0s1s1 / hfs rw 0 1
/dev/disk0s1s2 /private/var hfs,nosuid,nodev rw 0 2
