Well just when you thought the jailbreaking scene was dead... iOS11-11-1.2 seems to have been a piece of cheese FULL of holes!! I've been an insider and widget designer/coder at the other largest iPhone modding forum, ModMyi, for many years. It went through major management changes and loads of forum interface changes - so, combining that with the pessimism around public jailbreaking dying through iOS10 - I've decided to come and do more chatting about the things I know over here with you guys... I'm sure there are loads of good knowledgable people here already.. but sometimes it's nice to have a fresh perspective..

So HELLO, MacRumors JB enthusiasts!!..

Right now there are about 4 tools out there to gain root access to your 64bit iPhones on iPhone 11-11.1.2. Still currently nothing for 11.2 people - Sorry..

The question is ... which tool to use - as NONE of them are bundles with Cydia or Cydia Substrate yet.. Saurik.. has made clear on Twitter that he IS whole-heartedly supporting this IanBeers exploit for iOS11 from Ian's ProjectZero. BUT -- rather than simply do a an update to Cydia Substrate and Cydia - Saurik is using this opportunity to completely REWRITE a Jailbreak of his own.. So it's taking quite some time!!!! It promises to be a whole new way of jailbreaking, userland style, which should give us quicker jailbreaks in the future possibly while a current firmware is still being signed. But in the mean time we wait!!

So... have any of you jumped into LiberiOS by Morpheus or Electra by CoolStar? LiberIOS doesn't do much right now - just protects your phone against updating to 11.2..

But CoolStar's Electra has allowed me to get most of the key tweaks I like using to work on my iPhone X on 11.1.2.. If you're a general user, not familiar, with using SSH - then you should just wait for Saurik's JB... But if you like to DIVE IN.. I can help... We'll explore some of the tweaks ready to go and how to get them running..

Are you considering JBing this time around?
 
All I really want is a treat like springtomize or hidemex.

I’m not massively familiar with SSH but I do learn quickly.

Will have to look for the usual google sheet to check if either of those are compatible. If not I’ll just hang tight until Cydia is ready to go.

I’m kind of used to stock now anyway.

Hey NewD, good to see you here. I'm on MacRumors most everyday, but admittedly not so much in the jailbreak forum anymore. I think my jailbreaking days are done, but I did stay on 11.1.2 just in case. ;) Electra sounds neat, but this is the first I'm hearing of it.
 
I’m running Electra too and it’s nice to have my phone almost back to a full JB’s worth of tweaks.

Good luck running tweaks on iOS 11 then.

It's the older version of Substrate, not the new one.

That website is fake and using their techniques can Brick your phone.

Electra already employs its own Substrate and you have to SSH your tweaks into a special folder. I’ll explain in detail later.

please enlighten us with your wisdom
 
Nope, no reason to jailbreak anymore. It use to have a real purpose to enhance the system and learn how to do coding. However there was a cost and that was that you'd take a massive hit in security. Good for those who have been waiting and want to break, myself however..... I've moved on to do actual programming and be paid for it. Unlike some of the jailbreaking community that just rips off applications and tweaks not supporting those that develop and have dreams to make something better.

Well enjoy your new opportunities - but we don’t need your negativism. Bye!

Not negative at all, simply saying jailbreaking isn't what it use to be. Now it's about stealing others hard work rather then finding solutions to problems. Good luck out there.

Actually it’s not. Though there are a lot of pirates and kids who use the pirate sites.. many of us pay for everything. It’s no different today than with iOS 4.. I’ve been around since then. Same pirating then as now.
 
I wish I could find a proper iOS 6 skin for 11.1.2, with all UI covered (settings, notification centre etc). iOS 6 was the best os ever made (i used it on iPhone 5 and was flawless), with beloved skeuomorphism, no lags, great battery life, everything worked just awesome. I know that skin wont change efficency (can make it even worse) but anyway I would rather cheat my mind and just get a taste of iOS 6. If it is possible with electra or LiberiOS I will try it.
 
iOS 11 is already buggy as hell, I’m just going to wait till this jailbreak has all its kinks ironed out rather than load a buggy JB on a buggy OS.
 
Well if you want a JB at all you have to live with iOS 11.1.2.

And I’m having no stability problems with the Electra JB. But you DO have to be a veteran to understand how to work with it.. just like early in MachPortal jailbreak for 10.1.1. This is not for the average user.
 
I guinea pigged my 11.1.2 7+ On Electra jailbreak was sick of stock mode

Running :

Fluidenabler (X gestures on plus)
Fingertouch(Touch to home/Tap and hold for lock button)
Eclipse (dark mode)
ByebyeHUD (discrete volume up/down UI on statusbar)

Pretty nice!

You gotta know ssh / sftp type stuff and to watch a YouTube video or two and follow compatibility guide closely

Still gonna hold off on jailbreaking x for cydia/substrate update but not bad!
