hey guys what is going on this is high apple geek and today cool star has pulled through the toxicity of the jailbreak community and has provided us with a jailbreak for iOS 11 through 11 point one point two today is the day guys we finally get to see a jailbreak on our latest and greatest devices now this will support a bunch of different devices I will go ahead and put them all in the description of this video along with any download links for anything in this video that you might see do keep in mind that this jailbreak will only work
If you're on eleven point two zero through eleven point one point two not anything above there is a good chance that we will see a jailbreak for other higher firmware soon be sure you subscribe to the channel I'll be updating guys on that so bringing over this iPhone here this is actually iPhone 6s that is on iOS 7.1.2 so what you're gonna need to do of course is to connect your device to your computer whether it be a Mac or Windows PC once you've done that go on your computer if iTunes pops up be sure you close out of iTunes completely and then go to these links I
Will provide in the description first of all download Cydia impactor if you don't have it already of course there's links here for whichever computer you have next up go to cool stars website make sure you go to the right one there might be some weird mirrors out there I'll be sure to link this in the description and then come in here scroll down a little bit there is a download button if that doesn't work try the mega mirror right here go ahead and download the current latest version is 1.0 obviously there's gonna be more of course there is also
Some other important information that you should definitely read through there is some information on future restore downgrading stuff like that I'll be sure to cover that in another video and in here it does warn you that many packages need to be updated for a lecturer and iOS 11 I mean Cydia itself is not yet updated this is a patched version called substitute City a substitute not Cydia substrate that we're gonna need to install right after jailbreaking alright so once you have those things downloaded go ahead and head to Cydia impactor I'm gonna go ahead and point up right here
Now Cydia impactor requires an Apple ID without two-factor authentication in order to work and the problem is of the newer Apple IDs has this option on by default some people can't disable it so I'm gonna show you a workaround to that so first of all go to this website I have in the description so you're gonna want to go to this website here it's gonna ask you to log into your Apple ID this is the official Apple ID portal and of course if you have to factor is gonna send you a code in order for you to properly log in and once you're in here is gonna look something
Like this excuse me if I do have this board out because this is my personal Apple ID so the first thing you want to do is find the security tab and there's an edit button right here go ahead and click on that and here you have a generate password button an app specific password so if you go ahead and hit this I'm gonna label this jb4 jailbreak hit create this is gonna give you a code that kind of looks like this I'm gonna go ahead and copy and paste this to a note you can put this code into Cydia impacter as your Apple ID password not
Your normal password use this as the new password with all the dashes and it's gonna let you log into your Apple ID in Cydia impacter but for the purpose of this video so I don't have to do this over and over again I'm gonna go ahead and just disable two-factor authentication altogether you may or may not want to do this because this will disable some features on your iPhone like Apple pay cash so I'm gonna go ahead and click this button on the website turn off two-factor you're gonna turn off it's gonna ask for some security questions and if you're
Successful you should get a notification that looks like this two-factor has been turned off so I'm gonna go back to Cydia impacter I don't need the app specific password now I'm just gonna go ahead and drag the elektra file we downloaded and put it into Cydia impactor and of course it's gonna ask for your Apple ID the one that we just we just got the code for or if you decided to turn off two-factor use that one and it should start installing the file Louise flame now if you get this error the provisions cpp eighty one error that says you already have a current iOS
Development certificate blah blah blah blah blah there is actually a way to fix this inside of city impactor so go ahead and close out of that error go up top to your status bar and on windows this should be somewhere in the preferences I'm not exactly sure if you guys can comment that below be really helpful go ahead and click on this find the revoked certificates button click on that and then put in your Apple ID and your password of course and if you're successful it should say revoked certificates whatever number that may be and that is good this
Is just from me playing around with the iOS 10 jailbreak last year we will now return to our regularly scheduled program thanks Louise flame alright so once you've got that in it should start installing the Elector a p– on your device extracting package verifying and complete as you guys can see there we have the Electra jailbreak app right there so now we have no more need for the computer so I'm just gonna go ahead and head to my device you'll see the Electra app on your home screen it will not let you go in you have to go into
Settings general and scroll the way down to profiles and device management and in here click on the profile that looks like your Apple ID go ahead and hit trusts and now you'll be able to go and open up the Elektra jailbreak so I'm just gonna go ahead and open this up make sure that tweaks button is on hit jailbreak and the process should begin and you should see this little pop-up here that says a PFS backup or snapshot this will basically create like a Time Machine backup for your phone remember Apple introduced a new file system a little while back the Apple file system
A PFS so it's gonna create like a backup so in case your device ever does something weird you can use a tool called semi restore to go back to that I'll be sure to talk about this in another video so stay tuned then you can then I'm gonna go ahead and advise and tin your jailbreak and the process should continue your device should have this quick little respring cycle should take like a minute scroll over and you should have Cydia on your home screen so opening up Cydia now it's gonna load up these sources there should be some installed by default I'm not sure if
This is left over from my last jailbreak but there should be cool stars on the substrate compatibility layer and some other utilities that we need to install so if you guys look in here Electro's iOS utilities these are actually some of the things that usually come with Cydia and cool star has made like custom versions of this so that way they would work on iOS e 11 which is absolutely awesome and if you guys see any updates here in changes like Cydia install work if you actually click on this it says 11.30 which is the latest version but cool star 4 which is here
Which is very interesting this is a custom version of Cydia not officially updated but it's been patched by cool start to work with iOS 11 so I'm just going to go ahead and hit upgrade upgrade essential and confirm remember guys the Cydia substrate will not work on this we will have to install some other packages alright so once that updates the city I should crash you can go ahead and open that up again alright so I finally managed to get Cydia to manually refresh looks like the packages are in now we can search for subs and come in here
Install substitute hit continue or queue it up and then install substrate compatibility layer install that and restart springboard never have I been more glad to tap that button as a quick note do not try to install substrate safe mode it is not updated to iOS 11 I can confirm that it does not work as of right now just install the essentials from coolstar alright guys so that is how you guys jailbreak iOS 11 through 11 point one point two remember guys this is a city substitute right now a lot of tweaks are not working I haven't been able to really find one just yet but as
You guys can see here I am jailbroken on eleven point one point two with the latest version of Cydia the patch by coolstar and in the coming days I'll be making jailbreak videos as tweaks get more compatibility so be sure you subscribe to the channel for that alright guys I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope it helped and I will see you guys in the next video peace
