Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB making sure to select Trust if prompted on your device and Continue if prompted by iTunes.




Drag and drop the yalu IPA downloaded earlier into the Cydia Impactor app.

Step Seven
Cydia Impactor will sign the IPA and install the new Yalu jailbreak app (yalu102) on your device.


Step Eight
Once the app has successfully downloaded to your device you must trust the developer profile created under your email address.

Tap Settings, then General, then Device Management.


Select your email from the Device Management menu


Tap Trust (your email)


Click the Trust button from the popup that appears


Step Nine
Return to the Home screen and launch the Yalu (yalu102) app.


Press the go button in the center of the screen.


Your iPhone will now reboot and you'll have Cydia on your SpringBoard! Congratulations, you're jailbroken! After each restart you will need to relaunch yalu (yalu102) as this is a semi-tethered jailbreak. After relaunching yalu, you'll be able to use Cydia and enjoy your jailbreak.



***A big thanks goes out to the Luca Todesco, Ian Beer, and all the others who had a hand in creating this jailbreak.
