Removing a jailbreak from an iPhone can be a stressful experience. However, it does not have to be a complicated process. If you’re jailbroken on iOS 11-11.1.2 using Electra and want to reverse the process, there are several methods to do so. One method involves using the iTerminal app from the App Store. Once downloaded, users can connect via SSH by typing in their Wi-Fi IP and then the username and password. After hitting connect and entering the command line, users can write bash /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh and the process will begin. When the phone restarts, the Electra app can be deleted.

What You'll Learn
Use iTerminal to SSH into your device
To use iTerminal to SSH into your device, follow these steps:
Firstly, download and install the iTerminal app from the App Store. Once it is installed, open the app.
Next, you will need to add a new host. To do this, right-click on the "+" sign and select "New Host". Enter your device's IP address when it asks for the host name. At the bottom of the screen, toggle on "Use SSH". Save this by clicking the save button in the top right corner.
Now, click on the host you just created. It should now say "Connecting". Follow the steps from the beginning and type in the command "ssh /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh", making sure there is a space between "ssh".
You will then need to enter your username and password. The default username is "root", and the default password is "alpine". However, if you have changed your password, enter the new one.
Finally, execute the command to start the unjailbreak script. This will completely wipe off the Release Candidate versions of the jailbreak tool from your Apple device.

Use the command 'sh /bootstrap/uninstall.sh'
To delete the Electra jailbreak from your iPhone, you can use the command "sh /bootstrap/uninstall.sh". This command will remove the jailbreak and any associated tweaks, themes, and the Electra app.
Before running this command, it is recommended to remove all tweaks and jailbreak apps on your device first. This can be done using Cydia. Additionally, you can use iTerminal, a free app from the App Store, to SSH into your device and run the command without needing a computer.
- Install the iTerminal app from the official App Store. The free version is sufficient.
- Establish an SSH connection using the following details:
- Hostname: Your device's IP address
- Username: "root"
- Password: "alpine" (unless you have changed it)
- Tap "Connect" to enter the terminal.
- Type the command "sh /bootstrap/uninstall.sh" and execute it.
- Wait for the removal process to finish.
- Go back to your home screen and ensure that the Electra app is gone.
Note: While this command has been reported to work by some users, it may not work for everyone. It is always recommended to back up your device and data before attempting any jailbreak-related procedures.

Reset content and settings
Resetting content and settings is a way to remove the Electra jailbreak from your iPhone. This method does not require a computer.
Before resetting content and settings, it is recommended that you remove all tweaks and jailbreak apps on your device using Cydia.
To reset content and settings, you can use the "Erase All Content and Settings" option on your iPhone. This will restore your iPhone to a fresh state, as if it were new.
Another way to reset content and settings is to use the "Settings Data & Settings Reset" option. However, for older firmwares since iOS 8.1 to 10.1.x, you will need to use the "Cydia Eraser" tool to avoid bricking your device.
After resetting content and settings, you may need to restore your iPhone from a backup. It is important to note that resetting content and settings may not restore your iPhone to the stock iOS fully. For example, if you have changed the default password, resetting content and settings may not change it back to the default.

Use Cyberduck to establish a new connection
To establish a new connection using Cyberduck, you will need to follow these steps:
Firstly, open the Cyberduck application and click the "Open Connection" button. This will open a new screen where you will need to provide certain connection details.
If you are using a Windows device, press "Strg+O" or go to File -> Open Connection. For Mac, use the shortcut "⌘O" or go to File -> Open Connection.
Now, you will need to select the connection type. For this particular case, you will need to select SFTP as the connection type.
Next, enter the IP address of the device you are trying to connect to. This can be found in the Wi-Fi settings of your device.
After entering the IP address, you will need to enter the username and password. For this scenario, the username is "root", and the password is "alpine", unless you have changed it.
Now, click "Connect" and then "Allow".
Finally, drag the relevant script or file into the Cyberduck window to initiate the file transfer.
You can also create bookmarks for your connections to quickly access them in the future. To do this, go to "Bookmark" -> "New Bookmark" (macOS: ⌘⇧B, Windows: Strg+Shift+B). This will create a new bookmark with the current connection settings.
Additionally, you can set Cyberduck as the default application for FTP and SFTP connections by going to Preferences -> FTP and Preferences -> SFTP respectively.

Use Rollectra Jailed
Rollectra is a utility that can be used to unjailbreak an iPhone handset that has been jailbroken with Electra. Rollectra can be installed via Cydia or via side-loading. The former method is the most convenient and serves as an excellent option for those experiencing no trouble with their jailbreak. The latter option is considered a "jailed" install and works best for those who are unable to get back into a jailbroken state.
Rollectra will restore the RootFS to its stock state and reset the user data. It is recommended that a backup is created using iTunes before using Rollectra.
Rollectra has been updated with proper support for restoring without resetting user data. However, it is not recommended to avoid performing a full restore as it will leave a lot of leftovers from the jailbreak.
