Although the LiberiOS jailbreak for iOS 11 - iOS 11.1.2 was released, the lack of support for iOS 11 in Cydia and Cydia Substrate does not allow developers to test their tweaks and improve them for iOS 11.

The following are the most important details about the Electra tool:

  • Cydia, DPKG and APT are NOT included.
  • GNU CoreUtilities is included.
  • Dropbear, SCP and SFTP work on ports 22 and 2222.
  • Tweaks are installed in / bootstrap / Library / SBInject.
  • Themes are installed in / bootstrap / Library / Themes.
  • PreferenceLoader is configured under / bootstrap / Library.
  • Tweaks that cause a SpringBoard error will force the device to respring in safe mode.
  • All binaries must be signed with jtool or ldid2.
  • Executable files must be signed for the platform.
  • Binary files and libraries are installed in / bootstrap / usr /.
  • A script to delete is available at /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh
    (only the Electra tool will be deleted).

The tool supports the following devices with iOS 11:

The IPA file of the Electra f tool can be downloaded fromofficial site. You will need to download it to the device through Cydia Impactor. Then the application needs to be launched and jailbreak installed through it.

Electra includes Substitute tool created byhacker Comex, so you can install and use tweaks that are compatible with iOS 11. However, there is no support for Cydia, so you have to add it manually.

If you are not a developer, we recommend that you wait while saurik releases the Cydia update.
