Wow, I can’t believe this day is finally here! In this video! I’ll be showing you how I jailbreak my iPhone X! This also works on all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models running iOS 11.0-11.1.2

I really like the iPhone X, but without a jailbreak, there’s hardly any customization available. With jailbreaking, there are lots of 3rd party apps that I can install which can provide new functionalities and tweaks that apple does not allow.

jailbreaking is 100% legal. Thanks to the exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 2012 which made jailbreaking phones legal. The exemption as later expanded in 2015 to include tablets too!

Although jailbreaking is 100% legal, you lose the security you get with Apple Products, because with a Jailbroken device, you’re pretty much trusting all these 3rd party apps which haven’t been approved by Apple.

This jailbreak is provided by Electra and it works for all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models running iOS 11.0-11.1.2. I’m extremely thankful for the developers of this jailbreak, they’re awesome!

There have been several versions out, and this is the MOST stable one, by far. (Version 1.0.4). Check the link in the description for the latest version.

REQUIREMENT TO Jailbreak:

#1) Your device MUST have a iOS version of 11.0 to 11.1.2. If you don’t already have this iOS version; there is no way to download it now, sorry. If you have iOS 11.2 through 11.2.2, there is still a chance that they will have the jailbreak for newer iOS version soon!

#2) You need a computer running Windows, OS X, or Linux. Go ahead and download the Electra jailbreak IPA file and the Cydia Impactor. The Cydia Impactor is a tool that we will use to load the Electra jailbreak IPA file on to your iOS device). Links to the files are in the description below.

#3) You need a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer.

Alright, moving forward! Let’s get my iPhone X jailbroken.

So my iPhone X is on iOS 11.1; which is compatible with this jailbreak.
I’ll be using my MacBook Pro to install the jailbreak, but you can do this with a computer running Windows or Linux.

Step 1:

Plug your device into the computer and TRUST the device. If iTunes opens up, make sure you close it.

Step 2:

Open the Cydia Impactor. Drag the Electra jailbreak IPA onto the Cydia Impactor application.

You’ll be prompted for an “Apple ID Username”. (It does NOT need to be associated with a developer’s membership license. If you’ve enabled Apple’s Two-factor Authentication, you’ll get this error, just like I did.

Simply go to appleid.apple.com, login, and go to the section on “App-Specific Passwords” and generate a password. You can enter anything for the password label, I’ll use UTECHPIA.

Now you have the password you need to continue.

Let’s try this again: drag the jailbreak IPA on to the Cydia Impactor, enter your apple ID , and then for the password, use the app-specific password we just generated.

This loads the Electra jailbreak app on to your apple device.

Step 3:

You should now see the Electra jailbreak App on your Apple device. Go ahead an open it and run the jailbreak. The version that I’m currently using is version 1.0.4

After the jailbreak is complete, it will restart the apple device. Once it restarts, you should now have Cydia installed.

Go ahead and open Cydia. It will ask you to upgrade essential packages, select to “Upgrade Essential” Option. From what I’ve heard you do NOT want to do the Complete Upgrade, as this is causing problems for a lot of people. Once the essentials are done installing, it will close out of Cydia. Open Cydia back up, the final step is to search for the “Tweak Injector” by CoolStar and upgrade to the latest version.

Congrats!

You’ve now got a jailbreak iOS device! There are TONS of tweaks you can install.

If you search the internet, there are tons of Repositories that you can add to your Cydia store, and download awesome 3rd party apps!
