These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone using Electra. Currently, this jailbreak only supports devices running iOS 11.2 - 11.3.1.
Step One Download the Electra jailbreak from here and Cydia Impactor from here, saving them to a folder on your Mac.
Step Two Double click to open the Impactor dmg.
Step Three Drag and drop the Impactor app onto the Applications folder shortcut.
Step Four Launch Impactor from your Applications folder. Click Open if asked to confirm.
Step Five Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB then drag and drop the Electra IPA we downloaded earlier into the Cydia Impactor app.
Step Six You will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This is only used to sign the IPA, letting it run on your device.
Step Seven Cydia Impactor will now sign the IPA and install the Electra jailbreak app on your device.
Step Eight Launch the Settings app from your SpringBoard then choose Siri & Search from the Settings menu.
Tap to turn off the Listen for 'Hey Siri' and Press Home for Siri toggles.
Step Nine Return to the Settings menu and choose General.
Select Device Management from the General menu then tap to select your Apple ID.
Press the Trust "youremail@address.com" button and choose Trust from the alert that appears.
Step Ten Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up Control Center and tap to place your iPhone into Airplane mode.
Step Eleven Hold down the Power button and swipe the slider to power off your iPhone. After a few seconds press the Power button to restart your device.
Step Twelve Ensure you are in Airplane mode then launch the new Electra app on your SpringBoard.
Step Thirteen Tap the Jailbreak button to begin the jailbreak process. If you don't want any pre-installed tweaks you may want to turn off the Tweaks toggle.
Step Fourteen Your iPhone will now reboot. Once it's finished, reopen the Electra app and tap the Jailbreak button again.
An alert will pop up letting you know an APFS Snapshot has been created. Click the Continue Jailbreak button.
Electra will now install Cydia and inform you that OpenSSH is now running. Click the Exit button to complete your jailbreak!
Thanks A big thanks goes to CoolStar and the rest of the Electra Team for their hard work on this jailbreak.
After hitting the Electra icon it goes through 1/3 and then the screen goes almost black during step 2/3 and doesn't do anything beyond that. I can hit the home button and I get springboard back but no jailbreak. I revoked certificates in the old Impactor and loaded the new 9.44 before starting. I have an iPhone 8plus.
Yeah, I’ve waited this long, I can wait longer, was just wondering if it was something I was doing wrong, I never turned on hey Siri on my phone, so I tried turning that on to program hey Siri with my voice, then rebooted, then turned it off and turn airplane on, then rebooted again and tried Electra, got some different results, but this time it showed error mounting rtboot or something like that, and tried again but now it’s back to same black screen... :/ I’ll just have to wait
I figured it out, you have to make sure you delete 11.4 ota update file(cool star website info) install tvOS profile( also cool star website info) sign out of icloud(YouTube video) and turn off Siri(iClarified info) and put in airplane mode( iClarified) after doing all that and rebooting a couple times, it finally started working properly.
So I’ve turned off Siri, and put it in airplane mode. Rebooted, and the Electra app just goes to a black screen and doesn’t do anything after a couple of seconds of the step 1/3, once or twice I saw it go to step 2/3 but still went to a black screen and never rebooted, what am I doing wrong?
