FilzaSlop

FilzaSlop can be installed on compatible iPhones and iPads using a suitable IPA signing method.

However, it has special signing requirements that make installation more complicated than a normal sideloaded application.

Installation steps:

1. Open Settings → General → About on your device.
2. Check your iPhone or iPad model and exact iOS version.
3. Confirm that your firmware is listed in the FilzaSlop developer documentation.
4. Back up important device data before continuing.
5. Visit the official FilzaSlop GitHub releases page.
6. Open the latest verified release, FilzaSlop v1.2.0.
7. Download the unsigned IPA file.
8. Verify the downloaded file against the developer's SHA-256 checksum.
9. Read the repository's Signing section.
10. Prepare a signing method that supports the required application identity.
11. Make sure the signing process preserves the bundle and CodeDirectory identifier required by the project.
12. Install the signed application using your compatible signing tool.
13. Open FilzaSlop on your iPhone or iPad.
14. Check which file locations are actually available.
15. Begin with read-only inspection before attempting to change any files.

Important signing requirement

For the standalone MobileHouseArrest access method, both identifiers must remain:

com.apple.mobile.MobileHouseArrest

The developer explains that free Apple Account signing generally changes the application identifier or fails with an App ID registration error.

Changing the identifier may allow the app to install, but it disables the documented MobileHouseArrest access path.

How to use FilzaSlop with LiveContainer

The developer also documents an experimental LiveContainer method.

1. Install LiveContainer using a supported sideloading method.
2. Download the official unsigned FilzaSlop IPA.
3. Open LiveContainer and import the IPA as a guest application.
4. On iOS 26 or later, configure LiveContainer's documented JIT-less signing option if needed.
5. Open FilzaSlop inside LiveContainer.
6. Use it only to browse or manage accessible LiveContainer guest files.

LiveContainer limitation

This method does not provide access to normal App Store application containers, protected system data or other apps installed directly by iOS.

Does FilzaSlop require a jailbreak?

No. FilzaSlop is designed for selected non-jailbroken devices. However, installing it successfully does not automatically mean every sandbox-access feature works.

Safety notice

Never modify files belonging to another user or application without authorization.

Avoid editing payment data, authentication databases, system preferences or other sensitive files. Changes made through FilzaSlop can remain after the application is removed.

FilzaSlop is an advanced file management utility that provides access to selected locations on compatible iOS devices.

Filza-Style File Browser

Browse files and folders using an interface based on FilzaJailedDS.

Application Data Containers

Access selected application data containers where the available iOS vulnerability provides the necessary permission.

App Group Containers

Explore compatible shared app group folders used by applications and system services.

App Extension Containers

Inspect selected application extension data, including supported plugin-related folders.

VPN Extension Data

The developer lists selected VPN plugin containers among the locations the application can attempt to open.

System Service Containers

Browse certain service and system data locations when access is available.

MobileGestalt-Related Files

FilzaSlop includes access methods and references for selected MobileGestalt cache locations.

This does not mean every protected system setting is editable.

InstallCoordination Data

The project documents access to certain InstallCoordination-related files and directories.

File and Folder Management

Where permitted, FilzaSlop can open, copy, move, archive and delete selected files.

Improved File Deletion

Version 1.0.2 corrected deletion behavior inside accessible application containers.

Archive and Backup Warnings

Version 1.0.3 improved archive operations and added warnings before potentially destructive file deletion.

iOS 26 Application Discovery

Version 1.0.1 improved detection of third-party application containers on iOS 26 using available application metadata and ContainerManager.

PosterBoard Wallpaper Lab

Manage compatible PosterBoard wallpaper files and selected custom wallpaper data.

Use this feature carefully because it can modify real wallpaper-related files.

Official Update Checker

Version 1.2.0 checks GitHub for newer stable FilzaSlop releases at first launch and when the app becomes active after the configured interval.

The checker alerts users to updates but does not install them automatically.

Reduced URL-Scheme Detection

Starting with v1.1.0, release packages no longer register the standard Filza URL scheme.

This limits one specific method other applications can use to detect FilzaSlop. It does not guarantee that security-sensitive applications will stop reporting a modified or unsupported environment.

Supported iOS Versions

1. iOS 15: Not part of the documented original-project support range.
2. iOS 16: Not part of the documented support range.
3. iOS 17: Not listed as supported by the original FilzaSlop project.
4. iOS 18: Documented support, with feature-specific limitations.
5. iOS 26: Documented support, with feature-specific limitations.
6. iOS 27 beta 1–4: Explicitly listed by the developer.
7. iOS 27 final and later: Not established by the original project's compatibility statement.

Supported Devices

Compatibility depends on the installed iOS version, available vulnerabilities and required signing configuration.

The developer has not established a complete model-by-model testing list for the v1.2.0 release.

Important Limitations

FilzaSlop is not a rootful or rootless jailbreak.

It does not provide unrestricted kernel access, a full root shell or unlimited access to every iOS application.

The available file permissions depend on the specific vulnerability and the way the IPA is signed and launched.

If FilzaSlop is not installing, opening or accessing files correctly, check the following problems.

FilzaSlop IPA Is Not Installing

The official IPA is unsigned. Make sure it has been signed using a method compatible with the application's required identity.

Signing Error 9400 or 9401

The developer documents these App ID registration errors for free Apple Accounts. Free signing does not preserve the required standalone MobileHouseArrest identity.

FilzaSlop Installs but Cannot Access App Containers

Check whether your signing method changed the application's bundle identifier. A successful installation does not guarantee functional container access.

Code Signature Mismatch

The bundle identifier and CodeDirectory identifier must match as required by the project. A mismatch can prevent iOS from launching the application.

App Is Not Opening

Check the signature, provisioning profile, device firmware and downloaded IPA integrity.

App Store Applications Are Missing

The selected sandbox-access method may not be working. If FilzaSlop is running inside LiveContainer, this limitation is expected.

LiveContainer Only Shows Guest Apps

The developer explicitly limits experimental LiveContainer compatibility to guest applications and data stored inside the container.

Some System Folders Cannot Be Opened

FilzaSlop only accesses directories permitted by the active vulnerability. Not all protected system locations are available.

Files Cannot Be Deleted

Verify that the directory is writable. Version 1.0.2 improved deletion within accessible containers, but permissions still apply.

Deleted Files Reappear

Check whether you are using an older release. Version 1.0.3 introduced fixes for deletion and archive handling.

Applications Are Not Detected on iOS 26

Use a release containing the updated iOS 26 application discovery method introduced in version 1.0.1.

Wallpaper Lab Is Not Working

Check that your iOS version and selected wallpaper data are compatible with the available PosterBoard access method.

Wallpaper Changes Are Not Reverted After Uninstalling

Files modified through FilzaSlop remain changed after removal. Restore the original files or a trusted backup where possible.

Banking App Reports a Jailbreak

Version 1.1.0 removed certain URL schemes, but this does not guarantee that banking apps will accept the device. Some apps may store earlier security results or perform other checks.

Update Notification Is Not Appearing

FilzaSlop checks the official GitHub release feed when appropriate. Check the network connection and GitHub availability.

FilzaSlop Is Not Working on iOS 27 Final

The original developer explicitly lists only iOS 27 beta 1 through beta 4. Do not assume compatibility with the final release.

Safety Tips

Back up important data before making any changes.

Treat protected application data as sensitive. Never browse, modify or export another person's private files without permission.

Avoid deleting unknown system files or changing application databases unless you understand the consequences.
