Electra Jailbreak May Let You Bypass Jailbreak Detection by Temporarily Reverting to Stock State

Pwn20wned has announced plans to implement an option that would allow users jailbroken with Electra 11.3.1 to temporarily revert back to stock state. This would be useful to bypass jailbreak detection found in some games and applications.

"So I just saw people requesting an option in Electra1131 to temporarily revert to the stock state to bypass jailbreak detection. I will be taking that one!", Pwn20wned tweeted yesterday. "I already had the code to that written for other stuff. So it should be quite easy for me to implement it in electra1131. This basically means you can temporarily switch to a completely unjailbroken state and use things with jailbreak detections such as Fortnite."

The developer notes that a reboot will be required "Unless I decide to put up more work to make it possible without a reboot…"

The Electra Team is currently waiting on a rootFS remount to complete the jailbreak for public release. Earlier today CoolStar announced that he would not use his APFS 0 day and instead would wait for a remount by SparkZheng.

For those asking, no I’m not going to be using my APFS 0day in an 11.3.1 public jailbreak. SparkZheng has already has provided another way to remount it, and we will be using that one when it’s ready. There is no sense in burning 2 APFS remount methods on 1 jailbreak.
