In case you're thinking about purchasing the Go2 — or have already purchased one — here comes the important question: What next?
As of May 2025 , the current status is known and clear. There is a green light for future purchases from a jailbreak perspective.
What are my steps to jailbreak and enable secondary development on a freshly purchased Go2?
Most likely (99.99%), a freshly purchased Go2 comes with Secure Boot enabled . You can check if your unit has Secure Boot here
It’s not ideal from a user’s perspective, but it’s not a showstopper. Just keep in mind that:
rkdeveloptool is currently not possible. Further firmware manipulations will need to be done without a full backup — it’s somewhat risky, but the method is well tested.So, the current path for Secure Boot-enabled devices is as follows:
go2_firmware_tools using the custom_package submenuOk, I still feel the need for a backup on my Secure Boot Dog. Can I do a backup of crucial partitions after my dog is JB?
Yes, take a look at the go2_firmware_tools — there is an option to Backup Partitions .
I’m planning to add a detailed guide/manual here soon
I have updated to custom_package version 1.1.4, but my LiDAR is not working. What could I be doing wrong?
Recently purchased Go2 units now come shipped with the LiDAR L2 instead of the older LiDAR L1. Please install custom_package version 1.1.7 (or later), as it supports both L1 and L2.
