These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone using Electra and a Windows PC. Currently, this jailbreak only supports devices running iOS 11.2 - 11.3.1.

Step Four
Launch Impactor.exe from the extracted folder. DO NOT Run as Administrator.


Click Run if asked to confirm.


Step Five
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 Electra IPA we downloaded earlier into the Cydia Impactor app.


Step Six
