Use Rollectra to unjailbreak and remove Cydia

Rollectra is a tool that can be used to unjailbreak your device and remove Cydia. It is meant to remove Electra files, not Yalu files. Rollectra works by "undoing" the remount exploit and is for iOS 11.3 and above only.

To use Rollectra, you can follow these steps:

  • Download Rollectra. If you have Cydia, you can download Rollectra from there. If you do not have Cydia, you can try to download the .deb file from other sources, such as Reddit.
  • Install Rollectra on your device.
  • Run Rollectra. This should remove the Electra jailbreak and Cydia from your device.

It is important to note that Rollectra will clean up everything on your device. It does not remove files one by one. Therefore, it is recommended to back up important data before using Rollectra. Additionally, some users have reported that Rollectra may not remove all files, especially if you have previously jailbroken your device on multiple iOS versions. In such cases, it may be necessary to restore your device to a new iOS version and set it up as new to ensure a clean start.

Try the uninstaller script at /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh

To remove Cydia Electra without a computer, you can try the uninstaller script at /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh. This script will allow you to unjailbreak your iPhone and remove the Electra jailbreak.

Before you begin, it is recommended that you remove all tweaks and jailbreak apps on your device using Cydia.

  • Establish a new connection to your iOS device using an SFTP client such as Cyberduck or iFunBox. Enter the IP address of your device, which can be found in the Wi-Fi settings.
  • Use the username "root" and the password "alpine" unless you have changed it.
  • Upload the unjailbreak.sh script to your device. You can place it in the "/electra" folder so that it will be removed automatically.
  • Run the following command: "bash /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh" or "ssh /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh". Make sure there is a space after "bash" or "ssh" for the command to work properly.
  • Follow the instructions in the window, which may include pressing Enter and entering your PIN.
  • Wait for your device to restart. Once it has restarted, the unjailbreak process should be complete.
  • Delete the Electra app if it is still on your device.

Note that while this method has been confirmed by several users, the developer does not guarantee a successful unjailbreak. It is also recommended to reboot and re-jailbreak your device after the process to ensure that all remaining files are removed.

Use the iTerminal app to SSH from your device

To remove Cydia Electra without a computer, you can use the iTerminal app to SSH from your device.

First, download the iTerminal app from the App Store. Then, go to /etc/ssh in Filza or with your preferred method.

Next, start an SSH session using iTerminal with the following details: IP Address – Your Wifi IP address present in your device’s Settings.

Once you can access the terminal, run the script. You will need to enter the following command: ssh [email protected] (replace the x's with your phone's IP address). If asked about trusting the connection, type 'yes' and hit enter. The password is 'alpine' by default.

After running the script, you can re-jailbreak your device with the Electra toolkit if needed.

Try the nomore IPA file and then re-jailbreak

If you are looking to remove Cydia Electra without a computer, you can try the nomore IPA file and then re-jailbreak. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

First, you will need to download the nomore IPA file, also known as the NoMoreElectra IPA file, onto your device. You can find this file on websites such as Reddit or by using an online tool such as Install on Air.

Once you have downloaded the file, you will need to install it. To do this, go to 'Settings → General → VPN & Device Management' on your device. Then, tap on the name of the company that appears and tap 'trust'. This will allow you to install the IPA file without jailbreaking.

After installing the nomore IPA file, you can then re-jailbreak your device. This will remove Cydia Electra from your device without the need for a computer.

It is important to note that while this process can be done without a computer, it may still be helpful to have access to one if you encounter any issues. Additionally, make sure that your IPA file is secure to ensure the safety of your device.

Delete all tweaks and jailbreak apps before beginning

If you want to remove Electra from your iPhone, it is important to note that you should first remove all tweaks and jailbreak apps on your device. This can be done using Cydia.

One way to do this is by using Rollectra, a jailbreak tweak that can be found in the Cydia store. Rollectra has been recommended by Shoutpedia and is said to be better and faster in handling the un-jailbreaking process compared to other tools. It is also useful if you want to sell your phone and remove all your personal tweaks and the Cydia app.

To use Rollectra, first make a backup of your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud. This step is important as the process will delete your personal data. Then, fire up the Cydia store and search for Rollectra. There are two versions of SemiRestore available: the lite version works with iOS 11.1.X and below, while the updated Rollectra is compatible with iOS 11.3 and above. The difference is that the first one removes Cydia tweaks and apps but does not remove the whole jailbreak. Once you have installed Rollectra, open it and tap the "Unjailbreak" button to revert all changes and go back to the original iOS firmware.

Another way to remove Electra is by using the app iTerminal, which is available for free from the App Store. To do this, SSH into your device using the command "ssh [email protected]" (replace the x's with your phone's IP address). If prompted, type "yes" and hit enter. Then, enter the password "alpine" and hit enter. Finally, enter the command "bash /bootstrap/unjailbreak.sh" and hit enter again. Your iPhone will then restart and the process will be complete.
