As expected, Electra Team member Pwn20wnd released the much-anticipated SemiRestore11/Rollectra utility on Monday, enabling any Electra1131 user to completely un-jailbreak their device with the tap of a button.
SemiRestore11/Rollectra is a free download from Cydia’s Packix repository, and should also be accessible from the Electra Team’s upcoming Cydia replacement, Sileo.
Several years ago, Saurik released an un-jailbreaking tool known as Cydia Eraser so that jailbreakers could revert their pwned devices to a stock state any time they wished. But it hasn’t received any updates for some of the latest jailbreakable firmware versions, leaving much of the community in a state of confusion.
Fortunately, the Electra Team plans to change that. Team member Pwn20wnd announced on Monday the completion of an un-jailbreaking tool dubbed ‘SemiRestore11,’ which will roll back any jailbreak performed with Electra1131.
On Monday, the Electra Team posted yet another update for the Electra1131 jailbreak tool to their official website.
Citing the official changelog, Electra1131 version 1.0.3 adds support for iOS 11.4 beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3, but this only appears to work reliably when using the developer-only multipath tcp version of the tool.
The Electra Team’s new jailbreak tool for iOS 11.2-11.3.1 devices received a couple of minor updates over the weekend to address a few issues that were present in the initial release.
Full details concerning the most recent updates to Electra1131 are listed on the tool’s official web page, and will also be outlined for your convenience below:
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the Electra Team released their updated jailbreak tool for iOS 11.2-11.3.1, and more than 34,000 people have already pwned their devices with Electra1131 as of this writing.
These statistics appear in a live counter that is displayed at the very bottom of the official Electra website.
The Electra Team delivered on their promise to release an iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak, and you can now download Electra1131 from the team’s official website to pwn your device.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to jailbreak iOS 11.2-11.4.1 using Electra. When you’re ready to move forward with the jailbreak process, simply follow these steps:
Electra Team member Pwn20wnd announced via Twitter on Friday that the team’s iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak tool would be coming “really soon,” and soon after, the official Electra web page received a notable revamp with download links.
As we can see, there are two versions of the Electra1131 jailbreak tool: 1) a developer version that uses a multipath tcp exploit and requires a developer account to be used, and 2) a regular version that uses a vcf exploit and doesn’t require a developer account.
Good news on Wednesday for those who’ve been eagerly awaiting a jailbreak for iOS 11.3.1: the Electra Team announced that their upcoming jailbreak tool would be released in coming days.
As it would seem, the Electra Team will use an in-house APFS bypass to solve the remount issue that was delaying the tool’s release. Now all that appears to be left is a bit of packaging and polishing before Electra 11.3.1 becomes readily available to the public.
While the Electra Team works hard to produce a working jailbreak tool for iOS 11.3.1 amid unexpected delays, team member CoolStar took to Twitter on Monday to announce a rather attention-grabbing update.
As it would seem, Electra 11.3.1 will incorporate a feature called “Project Repo Unclutter” that automatically filters incompatible jailbreak tweaks from appearing in Cydia’s default repositories (BigBoss, ModMyi, and ZodTTD).
As we inch closer to the imminent release of an Electra jailbreak tool with support for iOS 11.2-11.3.1, we’re beginning to see exciting tidbits and teasers from the developers of the Electra Team that are actively working on it.
Among those was a Tweet shared by @nullriver, which incorporates numerous screenshots depicting the iconic Cydia app running on iOS 11.3.1:
It wasn’t long ago that security researcher Ian Beer released a handful of convenient exploits for some of the latest iterations of iOS 11, and now CoolStar's Electra jailbreak tool is well on its way to supporting these particular firmware versions as a result.
While the official Electra web page hasn’t been updated with a new version of the tool just yet, the Electra Team continues to update the jailbreak community with progress milestone announcements as they transpire.
If you’re currently on iOS 11 and stuck without a jailbreak, then you may want to consider installing iOS 11.3.1 as soon as possible to place the odds in your favor.
The official Electra website was recently updated with a footnote about how the Electra jailbreak tool would soon support iOS 11.3.1.
