If your handset is jailbroken with unc0ver and you’ve either decided that you revert to a vanilla version of iOS or that you want to start over with a different jailbreak tool, it’s important to know that the unc0ver jailbreak incorporates a mechanism for rolling your handset back to a pre-jailbroken state.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps necessary to remove the unc0ver jailbreak and all of its components from your iPhone or iPad.

How to get Cydia on the Odyssey jailbreak

Just as promised, the Electra Team’s new Odyssey jailbreak for iOS 13.0-13.5 lets users install Saurik’s tried and true Cydia package manager (and others) alongside the jailbreak’s default Sileo package manager.

While some people prefer the Sileo experience over Cydia, the fact remains that many remain loyal to the package manager they’re most familiar with. With that in mind, we’ll be showing you how you can install Cydia on your Odyssey or Odysseyra1n device in this step-by-step tutorial.

How to install the Odyssey jailbreak with AltStore

Odyssey is the Odyssey Team’s latest creation, and it’s specifically intended for jailbreaking iOS & iPadOS versions 13.0-13.7. Much like the competing unc0ver jailbreak, Odyssey is a side-loadable jailbreak app that installs a semi-untethered jailbreak.

The Odyssey jailbreak by default uses the Sileo package manager for installing packages and libhooker for tweak injection. Additionally, it installs the all-new Procursus bootstrap, which powers everything that makes this jailbreak tick. If you’re interested in using this concoction, then you’ve come to the right place because this tutorial will show you how you can jailbreak your iPhone or iPad with Odyssey.

How to remove the checkra1n jailbreak without restoring your iPhone or iPad

Whether you’ve jailbroken with the checkra1n tool and fancy reverting back to a vanilla version of iOS or you merely want to uninstall checkra1n to try a different jailbreak tool, the checkra1n jailbreak includes a convenient built-in utility for removing the jailbreak with just a few simple taps.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to remove the checkra1n jailbreak without completely restoring your iPhone or iPad. This method is traditionally recommended over a full-blown device restore because it doesn’t erase your data and it preserves your version of iOS. The latter is especially useful if you’re removing checkra1n to try another jailbreak since other jailbreaks can be picky about the versions of iOS they support.
