There is now also a jailbreak for iOS 11. However, it is only available with restrictions. You can find out more in this practical tip.
Jailbreak on iOS 11 - is that even possible?
In iOS 11, numerous elements from the jailbreak scene have already been integrated and incorporated. For example, the customizable control center was implemented in previous versions of jailbreak and is now available on iOS 11. Therefore, you should consider whether a jailbreak for iOS 11 is worthwhile for you at all.
- There is now a jailbreak for iOS 11 called "Electra" for all iPhone models, the iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch, provided they are compatible with iOS 11. This jailbreak is based on a vulnerability in iOS 11 that a Google developer found.
- Since Apple has now closed this gap, the jailbreak does not work under iOS 11.2 and newer versions. One of the iOS versions 11.0, 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3, 11.1 or 11.1.2 must be installed on your Apple device.
- You can download "Electra" from coolstar.org. You should read carefully beforehand whether an iPhone / iPaJailbreak is legal or illegal.
- How useful the jailbreak is is questionable. You can use the Cydia Impactor to install Cydia on the iOS 11 device, but the Cydia Substrate framework is not supported.
- Since this framework is required by many applications, numerous jailbreak extensions will probably not work at all.
Install jailbreak on iOS 11 on iPhone / iPad
- First you need to download Electra. You also need the latest version of Cydia Impactor. For the various operating systems, you can download them from this website.
- Connect your Apple device to the computer. If iTunes starts automatically, exit the program.
- If you start Cydia Impactor, the program will automatically recognize your mobile device.
- Now drag and drop the Electra 1.0.2.ipa file onto your Apple device in the display of the Cydia Impactor.
- Now your Apple ID data will be requested. First you have to enter the email address of your Apple ID and confirm with "OK". Then enter the password of your Apple ID and confirm again with "OK".
- If you have entered the data correctly, Cydia Impactor will install the Electra Jailbreak on your device. This can take a little time. You should then be able to find Electra as an app on the display. You can recognize the application by a lightning symbol.
We have summarized the advantages of a jailbreak in the next practical tip. So you can weigh up whether the jailbreak is worthwhile.
