Electra Jailbreak iOS 11.0 - 11.1.2 is compatible with these devices: iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 6s/6s Plus, iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone SE/5S, iPod touch 6G, iPad Pro 9/10/12", iPad Air 1/2, iPad 5th, iPad mini 2/3/4. This is a Semi-Untethered ONLY Jailbreak. After rebooting your device, your tweaks will not function and your device will appear to not be jailbroken. To fix this, open the Electra app and wait for it to close to the home screen. Jailbreak by @CoolStar (https://coolstar.org/electra/).

Important Information

DONT INSTALL ANYTHING FROM SAURIK'S REPO IF YOUR USING THIS JAILBREAK FOR THE TIME BEING

• An APFS snapshot is created of / so you may revert it at a later date if needed
• It is recommended to futurerestore if you have blobs before running Electra to ensure the best possible installation
• Cydia is included
• OpenSSH is running on port 22
• Electra repo added by default
• Substitute, Tweak Loader and Substrate Compatibility Layer available from Electra repo
• Many packages need to be updated for both Electra and iOS 11 (make sure they're updated before installing as they may not work yet)
• RocketBootstrap 1.0.6 or higher is required for use on iOS 11
• Many apps, launch daemons and installation binaries are broken as they require entitlements to be added

Electra 1.0.4:

- Remove all XPC code that could possibly have been problematic ever since beta 11
- Replace TCP, UDP and XPC with MIG (thanks Psychotea from the Meridian team)
- Recommended to also update Tweak Injector to 1.0.4 from our repo to get safe mode in system daemons as well


Electra 1.0.3:

- Revert change to XPC in xpcproxy in beta 11
- Fix intermittent freezing issues that would affect certain devices on beta 10 -> 1.0.2



Electra 1.0.2:

- Fix false positives where Electra would think topanga was installed when only liberiOS was
- Prevent loading pacakges from saurik's repo (since Cydia can't be patched to remove it)
- Fix APT 0.7 Strict (lib) on devices that may have already updated to the broken copy from saurik's repo


Electra 1.0.1:

-Fix some false positives where Electra would think topanga was installed when only liberiOS was



Electra 1.0:

-Initial Release (Cydia is tested and working)

Important Information

Beta 11-3: (Current)

• Fix a race condition on jailbreakd's launch to improve success rate of jailbreak

Beta 11-2:

• Significantly improve the reliability of jailbreakd so it can handle a large amount of process launches at once (coolstar)
• Make jailbreakd print directly to stderr rather than NSLog (coolstar)
• Fix a race condition in beta 11 that would cause jailbreakd to sometimes inject too early, and thus fail to inject (coolstar)

Beta 11:

• Add libjailbreak so command line tools, apps, etc. can talk to jailbreakd if needed (n_triangle_dev)
• Use XPC instead of UDP from libjailbreak and xpcproxy (n_triangle_dev)
• Use TCP instead of UDP from launchd (coolstar)

Beta 10: 

• Fix certain codesigned binaries not working with our amfi payload (coolstar)
• Add darwintools, debiantools (not dpkg), shell-cmds, system-cmds and uikittools
• Re-sign most of the bootstrap as SHA1 to prepare for them to be pushed to a repo
• Code cleanup (stek29 and nullpixel)
• Fix update checker erroneously saying there's an update in airplane mode

Beta 9:

• Sandbox is now working on the first launch for apps and daemons (thanks stek29)
• Remove 0.5 second delay when launching apps or daemons that was present since beta 1 (coolstar)
• Check if a new beta is available when electra is launched
• Double-launch workaround has been removed since it's no longer needed, fixing all bugs introduced on beta 8
• Remove AnemoneFonts.dylib as it was causing problems
• Important Note: If you are upgrading from beta 8-2 or lower to any beta 9 or higher, you will need to reinstall all tweaks and themes

Beta 8-2:

• Fixes issues with WebKit (Safari/Chrome), receiving calls, and downloading App Store apps by not working around the sandbox issue in those processes
• Known Bug: Apps will take longer to launch the first time they're launched after rejailbreaking due to a workaround for another bug w/ unsandboxing not working on first launch

Beta 8:

• Sandbox mitigations are now in place so /Library, /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences and /bootstrap are now accessible to all processes! (stek29, coolstar)
• Workaround sandbox mitigations not taking place on apps' first launch (coolstar)
• Known Bug: Apps will take longer to launch the first time they're launched after rejailbreaking due to a workaround for another bug w/ unsandboxing not working on first launch

Beta 7:

• amfid now gets re-patched if it ever gets killed (stek29 and coolstar)
• Clean up amfid patch (stek29)
• Add 3d touch shortcut for jailbreaking (ca13ra1)

Beta 6-5:

• Fix a regression in beta 6-4 that would cause launchd to run out of file descriptors

Beta 6-4:

• Don't make jailbreakd rely on pidlistuptrs bug (thanks stek29)
• Log dylib load errors in SBInject (thanks stek29)
• Clean up launchd payloads (thanks stek29)

• Make rejailbreaking significantly faster

Beta 6-3 (Current):

• Use host special port #4 to get tfp0 in jailbreakd (thanks n_triangle_dev)
• Add jailbreakd as a launchd service so it gets restarted if it dies (thanks n_triangle_dev)

Beta 6-2

• Fix kernel memory leak in entitlement injector

Beta 6

Add a working launchctl for loading launch daemons (thanks nullpixel)
Load dropbear as a launch daemon & fix zombie process issue (thanks nullpixel)
Set kernel task as host special port #4 (thanks stek29)
 
Beta 5

• Fix an issue in the substrate shim where substitute could crash if tweaks tried hooking nonexistent selectors
• Fix an issue with the dylib loader dragging UIKit (and all its tweaks) into every single daemon
• Make jailbreakd more robust with input struct size check enforcement

Beta 4-2:

• Fix a symlink that would prevent some substrate extensions from working with libsubstitute

Beta 4:

• Disable NVRAM patching as it still appears to be unstable
• Make amfid patch more reliable so that more dylibs can be run properly
• Add a "shim" so existing substrate tweaks can use libsubstitute without modifications

Beta 3-3:

• Fix the NVRAM patching crashing due to the memory page being unmapped (thanks Siguza)

• Don't unlock NVRAM variables due to the patch crashing some devices.

Beta 3:
