Moving Electra To Autosign: A Simple Guide

If you're looking to move Electra to the autosign folder, you're likely an iPhone user looking to jailbreak your device. While it is possible to move Electra to the autosign folder, it seems that the auto-sign function does not work for Electra. However, there are manual workarounds that can be implemented to achieve the desired outcome.

Auto-sign function not working

If the auto-sign function is not working, there could be several reasons. Here are some potential solutions:

Firstly, ensure that you have placed the Electra IPA file in the correct auto-resign directory. Check the specific path for the autosign folder, as mentioned in the comments, it could be "/var/mobile/documents/extnd3r autosign".

Secondly, if you are experiencing issues with automatic signing on Windows, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. One user reported that after installing KeePass, they had to reset their password and ensure it was accepted in Mail and MS to fix the auto-sign issue. Another user suggested using the Registry Editor to enable automatic logon. Go to Start, select Run, type "Regedit.exe", and press Enter. Navigate to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" subkey. From the Edit menu, create a new String Value named "AutoAdminLogon", and set its value to "1". Then, set the "DefaultUserName" and "DefaultPassword" entries to your username and password, respectively.

Additionally, if you have enabled "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts", also known as passwordless sign-in, you might need to disable this setting to fix the auto-sign issue.

It's worth noting that the autologon feature may not work if certain policies are enabled, such as Exchange Active Sync (EAS) password restrictions. To resolve this, remove the EAS policies in the Control Panel.

Keep in mind that enabling automatic logon may pose a security risk, as anyone with physical access to the computer can gain access to its contents and connected networks. Always assess the risks before proceeding.

Manually moving Electra to autosign folder

To manually move Electra to the autosign folder, you must first have a jailbroken device with Electra running any version of iOS 11.0 to 11.1.2.

Firstly, open Cydia on your device and navigate to 'Sources > Electra's iOS Utilities > All Packages'. Ensure that both Unzip and Core Utilities are installed on your device. Under 'Sources', add the following repository: https://midnightchip.github.io/repo.

Next, install Extender-Installer and ignore any errors that may appear. Reinstall the Unzip package, followed by Extender-Installer.

Now, you can manually add the Electra IPA file to the autosign folder. Navigate to the folder path '/var/mobile/documents/extnd3r autosign' and place the Electra IPA file here.

After moving Electra to the autosign folder, you may need to manually resign the app from time to time. This can be done by opening Ext3nder and resigning the Electra app when necessary.

Ext3nder settings

To move Electra to the AutoSign folder, you need to install Ext3nder from a repo. However, some users have reported that the auto-sign feature is not 100% reliable and does not work on Electra.

• Install Ext3nder from a repo. Users have mentioned using the midnightchips repo, although some have reported that it is down.
• Install Appsync Unified (VERSION 6.0 B1 ONLY) for iOS 10. Double and triple-check that you are installing the correct version, as installing the wrong version may bootloop your device.
• Respring by pressing the respring button or typing "killAll SpringBoard" into the terminal for iOS 10.1.1 mach portal.
• Open Ext3nder and click "More," then add your device, which should add your Udid to the settings.
• Set/change the team ID. If you get an error about an invalid team ID, you may need to use a different method to find your team ID.
• Move the Ipa from var/mobile/Documents/Ext3nder/Signed to var/mobile/Documents/Ext3nder/AutoSign. This can be done with the Filza file manager.
• Go to "More" in Ext3nder and select your Ipa (AutoSign Folder).
• If you are using a developer account, sign in with your Apple ID and an app-specific password.
• Enable the auto-signer in the settings tab.
• Go to the "Installed" tab, look for Electra, and press it to resign.
• Press "Rebuild IPA."
• Go to the "Downloads" tab, then copy the file inside the AutoSign folder.

Note that some users have reported issues with auto-signing, even after following these steps. In such cases, you may need to manually resign Electra every few days. Additionally, ensure that you have Idid, as it is a dependency for Ext3nder.

Re-signing IPA file

To move Electra to the autosign folder, you must first ensure that the IPA file is in the ext3nder auto resign directory.

Now, to re-sign the IPA file, you can use Fastlane's sigh resign, which is a robust solution for resigning IPAs. Here's how you can do it:

• Open your terminal.
• Use the following command:

Fastlane sigh resign ./path/app.ipa --signing_identity "iPhone Distribution: Felix Krause" -p "my.mobileprovision"

Note that the IPA file and the provisioning profile must be located in the current folder for this command to work.

You can also pass additional information using the command line.

Alternatively, you can use the following method, which involves using the command line and a script:

Use the following script:

CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=`xcrun --find codesign_allocate`; export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE

IPA="/path/to/file.ipa"

PROVISION="/path/to/file.mobileprovision"

CERTIFICATE="Name of certificate: To sign with"

Note that the certificate must be in the keychain.

Unzip the IPA file:

Unzip -q "$IPA"

Remove the signature:

Rm -rf Payload/*.app/_CodeSignature

Replace the provisioning profile:

Cp "$PROVISION" Payload/*.app/embedded.mobileprovision

Sign with the new certificate:

/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "$CERTIFICATE" Payload/*.app

Zip the file back up:

Zip -qr resigned.ipa Payload

You can also refer to the GitHub Gist provided in the sources for a more detailed guide on re-signing an IPA file, which includes additional steps and explanations.

Ext3nder installation

To install Ext3nder, you must first ensure that your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). If it does, simply plug in your extender near your router and set it to "Extender" mode. Once it's powered on, press the WPS button on both your extender and your router to connect the two. After they're connected, you can move your extender to your desired location.

If your router does not support WPS, you will need to connect to the default Wi-Fi network that the extender broadcasts. This is usually done by launching a web browser and entering the IP address provided by the manufacturer. Once you're connected, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the New Extender Setup page.
• Set your extender's admin credentials.
• Select your network's 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
• Enter your existing network's password.
• Choose whether to keep the default SSIDs or customize them for your extender.
• Follow the prompts to complete the setup.
• Connect your devices to the extender's new network using the WiFi settings.
• Return to your browser and confirm the setup.

To move Electra to the autosign folder on Ext3nder, you must place the Electra IPA file in the Ext3nder auto-resign directory. This directory can be found at /var/mobile/documents/extnd3r autosign. Once the file is in the correct folder, you can set up Ext3nder to automatically re-sign Electra by adjusting the settings to re-sign to missing every day and check every two hours.
