- Anything besides the renewed siri does NOT work including: Writing Tools, Memories, Reduce Interruptions, Image Eraser, etc.
we (me, cowabunga) will NOT provide official support for this
do NOT ask me/any staff members for help
use at own risk
I highly recommend reading every bit of this tutorial thoroughly (it is very different from the sneakyf1shy guide)!
You need a US Apple ID and you need to set your iPhone's region to US as well. Make sure your language is also set to English (US).
- You can change your apple ID's region to US using a fake billing address. Google it and you'd find a lot of tutorials on how to do so.
You first need to download both MisakaX and Nugget.
If you have any MisakaX/MitokoX/Nugget tweaks enabled:
- Open MisakaX and use the "Regenerate MobileGestalt (Reset)" option to get a new fresh Gestalt file
You first have to grab the fresh Gestalt file from your device. For doing so, you have to add this shortcut and use it in order to grab the gestalt file and save it on your device. You then, need to send it to your PC. (You can Email it or use a messanger)
-
Open your gestalt file using Notepad (Or textedit if you use mac):
- Search for (
h9jDsbgj7xIVeIQ8S3/X3Q) and if you're on an iPhone, change it to (iPhone16,2). for iPads change it to (iPad16,3) Here's an example of how it should look like:
<key>h9jDsbgj7xIVeIQ8S3/X3Q</key> <string>iPhone16,2</string>
NOTE: This might break Face ID on some models or give you a non genuine camera error which is fine. We'll fix it after we get AI working.
- Add this key
<key>A62OafQ85EJAiiqKn4agtg</key> <integer>1</integer>
Right after this line
<key>CacheExtra</key> <dict>
So it should look like something like this:
<key>CacheExtra</key> <dict> <key>A62OafQ85EJAiiqKn4agtg</key> <integer>1</integer> ... ... ...
- Search for (
- Open Nugget and enable any feature you'd like! (I do not recommend enabling Internal Storage as it's known to break your phone)
NOTE: You DO NOT need to enable the apple inteligence option in the feature flag section!!!
Make sure to ENABLE the "Disable region restrictions option" ESPECIALLY if you do not have a US iPhone. (Yes iPhones are different depending on where you buy them)
- Click on the Apply section and choose THE MODIFIED GESTALT FILE!
NOTE: You WILL get an error telling you that this file might belong to another iPhone and that is totally intended!
- Open MisakaX and choose the modified gestalt file.
- Press the "Apple Intelligence (extra)" button to finish the process.
- Close and reopen the Settings app
Inside Apple Intelligence & Siri page:
-
Ensure your Apple Intelligence language is US English
-
If you get the Join waitlist option you can press on it (Make sure you did step 3 before clicking on it!)
-
Wait for it to download.
-
Indicators that it's working:
- In settings > General > iPhone/iPad Storage > (scroll down) iOS > there should be "Apple Intelligence", growing from 44.9MB to until 2.8GB If it's stuck on 44.9M, try changing the Siri language to something else like German and go back to the main menu in Settings and then revert the siri language back to English (US). You could also try turning Apple Intelligence on or off.
Do NOT move to the next step if AI is still downloading!
After making sure that everything in Apple Intelligence works perfectly, you can revert back to your old device model to get Face ID back and remove the Camera not recognized error.
- Look at the ORIGINAL Gestalt file and search for
h9jDsbgj7xIVeIQ8S3/X3Qto find the original device model. (The device model might NOT be the same as your iPhone name for example iPhone 15 pro max is iPhone16,2 even though IT'S NOT an iPhone 16) - Change the device model IN THE MIDIFIED Gestalt file (
h9jDsbgj7xIVeIQ8S3/X3Q) back to the correct one for your device.- Find out at https://appledb.dev/device-selection/ if you've forgotten
- Now rewrite this Gestalt file back to your device using Nugget
- Reboot your device
- It should do some "downloading" for like upto 5 minutes, then the AI should start working again!
