  1. Hey , thank you Cydia team for this awesome tutorial . I was able to download and install cydia on iOS 11.4 beta using Electra jailbreak following your step by step guide

  4. Hi there ,
    Is there any jailbreak currently if so
    For which one really and what tool can I use and where ? Appreciate it very much in advance.

  5. Hi.. Can you help me? How can i update apps with jailbreak? I just received a message from App Store that says: you cant update with this id Apple. U know its because my jailbreak. I installed through linkstore .

    I hope u can help me , Sorry my english but this is the best i can speak

    Reply

    • The apps downloaded from Cydia belong to Cydia , and App Store belongs to Apple. You can update apps even with jailbreak running in the background , no problem.

      Reply

    • Hi , thank you for your comment. Downgrade is not possible since Apple has closed iOS 11.4 installlation. You just have a wait a few weeks for iOS 12 release. We have some news that the Electra Jailbreak – may be supported there . They dont want to release it to avoid patching.

      Reply

    • oh , unfortunately iOS 11.4 is last supported by Electra jailbreak at the time to writing this comment. But Today iOS 12 will be released. We are expecting an Jailbreak for that.

  10. Hey, I know you said Cydia is not available as a standalone app and that it requires jailbreak, but is it possible to access an particular app on a non-jailbroken phone in order to use it a few times before iOS 12 gets launched?
    And in case one does a Jailbreak, would the iPhone not automatically upgrade to 12, or like when connected to iTunes, could iTunes remove the jailbreak(incl. the cydia-loaded apps)?

    Reply

    • Hi ,

      If you are looking to access a jailbreak app , that is not possible. Check if the app is available on any of the appstore in our Cydia alternative page .
      Jailbroken or not , your device will not auto-upgrade to iOS 12 without your permission .

      Hope that helps.

    • are you trying to download iOS 9.3.5 ipsw? it doesnt work that way. needs a computer for the iOS update. for iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak, you will still need a computer for the IPA file. After going through your comment we could check the Phoenix jailbreak for iOS 9.3.5 is also available via the AppValley app without needing a computer. So you might be at luck.

      Reply

    • sorry, but there is no ETA. however I want to assure you that iOS 12.2 was jailbroken by Keen Team. though not released, it brings hope that it can be jailbroken, but other jailbreakers.

  68. Hello good day

    I have been using Phoenix jailbreak for a while on my old but good yet iPhone 4s. I use this jailbreak because I bought the Tetherme app on Cydia store, then I can use the phone like a modem to give Internet to my other devices. Now, since two weeks ago I couldn’t reinstall the Phoenix app, ( it is extremely difficult to keep the phone always on ) and now I have trouble to get the Internet on my devices. I am looking for the Phoenix app but unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere, the only place where it remains is here in cydia-app.com The problem is that it installs on the phone but when touched to initiate it crashes always. So I’m writing to you if you can fix it or give me any help or idea of what can I do to get back the Phoenix jailbreak or better yet the Tetherme app that I need.
    Thank you
    ( I am willing to pay if I can have Tetherme app or the Phoenix to last “forever” on the phone)

    • Thank you for taking the time to write about the issue. A lot of users have reported the same to us, about the Phoenix Jailbreak not working. Right now there are two sources to get the app, Appvalley App and via Phoenix IPA File installation. Hope that helps

  94. It says that it is not trusted and I’m trying to get this app and it won’t let me make it trusted I have a school iPad that has a mdm profile on it which is a lot of restrictions

    Reply

    • for that you would have to download iOS 12.4 ipsw file and install it using iTunes. Download method 3 given in the iOS 12 Download page. However, note that Apple stopped signing iOS 12.4 today, so you will not be able to install iOS 12.4 by anymeabs now. You will have to wait for iOS 12.4.1 Jailbreak, or possibly iOS 13 Jailbreak which is under works now.

  104. Hi,

    I only wanted to install an older version of Firefox onto my antique iPhone5. Somewhere I read this could be done using H3lix/Jailbreak.

    Is that correct?

    Meanwhile, I installed H3lix.
    When I start the H3lix app and I choose Jailbreak it says : uicache failed!

    How do I resolve this?

    Thanks in advance for your reply and greetings from Belgium!!

  108. Hi.
    I have 2017 iMac running MacOS Catalina, and a few superseded ios devices I dont want to throw away. Sadly, I cannot run the required jail-breaker program (p0sixspwn1.08) on as my iMac will not run 32 bit programs any more. I have tried using virtual machines for both Mac OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 10 and followed all the directions for each but p0sixspwn keeps exiting whilst doing “magic” or just hangs on “waiting to reboot …”
    I have used four or five copies of p0sixspwn from various places to no avail.
    I don’t have access to any other dedicated machines. My VM manager is Parallels Desktop, which is very reliable.
    Any ideas?

  117. I’m having issues with removing Sileo from an iPhone X, running 12.4. I originally did the chimera jailbreak, accidentally turned off my phone, and haven’t been able to re-jailbreak after trying numerous times since. I’ve kind of given up. The Sileo app is still on my phone, but of course, the app can’t be opened. Even after restoring my phone, erasing all contents and settings, Sileo is still there. Any recommendations? Thanks.
