Back up your iPhone

Before jailbreaking your iPhone, it is important to back up your device. This is because jailbreaking may result in data loss, and security threats.

To back up your iPhone, you can use either iTunes or iCloud. Firstly, if you are using iTunes, connect your iPhone to your computer via a USB cable. Then, ensure that you capture a full backup of your device via iTunes. If you are using iCloud, make sure that your iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Next, go to Settings, followed by your name, and then iCloud. After that, scroll down and tap on iCloud Backup, and then select Back Up Now.

Additionally, if you need to reset your backup password, it is important to do so before the jailbreak.

Download Electra

Electra is a semi-untethered jailbreak tool designed for iOS 11 – iOS 11.4.1 devices. It supports all iOS 11-compatible iOS devices, including the iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, and iPad Pro.

To download Electra, you can use either the computer method or the online method.

Computer Method:

First, download the Electra IPA file onto your computer. You can find the Electra IPA file on the official website of the Electra team. Once you have downloaded the file, connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.

Next, download and install the Cydia Impactor on your computer. Launch the Cydia Impactor and drag and drop the Electra IPA file onto it. The Cydia Impactor will then ask for your Apple ID and password, which it uses to sign the IPA file. If you are not comfortable providing this information, you can create an alternative Apple ID to use instead.

After the app is installed, go to Settings -> General -> Profiles (or “Device Management” / “Profiles & Device Management”).

Online Method:

You can also install Electra without a computer by using the Direct Install option. This option allows you to proceed with the jailbreak installation directly on your device without the need for a PC. There is a signed version of the jailbreak that can be installed through Safari.

Additionally, make sure that you have deleted OTA updates and installed the tvOS beta profile before using Electra IPA. This is important to prevent OTA updates from loading.

You can find the download links on websites such as Cydia Guru, 3uTools, or DonCaprio.com. Be sure to download the correct version for your computer.

Once the download is complete, install Cydia Impactor on your computer. If you are using a Windows PC, extract the files to a specific folder that you can easily locate.

Install Electra multi_path

To install Electra multi_path, you will first need to download Electra Jailbreak. There are two versions of Electra available: one that requires a paid developer account and one that does not. The former uses the multipath tcp exploit and has a higher success rate, while the latter uses the vfs exploit.

If you have an Apple Developer account, click on the "Download (Dev Account)" button to download Electra Jailbreak with the multipath tcp exploit. If you do not have an Apple Developer account, click on the "Download (Non Dev Account)" button to download the version with the vfs exploit.

Once you have downloaded Electra Jailbreak, you can install/sideload Electra IPA using Cydia Impactor.

For Electra 11.3.1 MultiPath, you will need to save the Xcode project and close Xcode. Then, open the iOS App Signer and select the Electra1131-1.0-mptcp.ipa file that you downloaded from Electra's site.

After following these steps, you can open Electra on your phone and jailbreak.

Launch the Electra Jailbreak app

Once you have installed the Electra IPA on your device, you need to head to Settings > General > Profile(s) & Device Management. From there, select the profile with the Electra app and then select Trust and Trust again on the resulting alert. You can now head back to the Electra app and tap the icon to launch it.

When the Electra app launches, you will see a standard iOS app with a minimal UI and a big "Jailbreak" button in the middle of the screen. Tap this button, making sure that the Tweaks toggle is ON.

Now, allow the Electra app to do its work. If you see a prompt that says “APFS Screenshot Created”, this means the jailbreak is progressing well. Simply tap on the “Continue Jailbreak” button to proceed. This APFS Snapshot feature will allow you to go back to the stock iOS 11.1.2 state using SemiRestore in case anything goes wrong with your jailbroken device.

After the jailbreak process is completed, you will see Cydia on your device's home screen. However, it is important to note that you will need to re-jailbreak the device using the Electra app each time you reboot the device.
