These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad using Electra. Currently, this jailbreak only supports devices running iOS 11.2 - 11.3.1 and iOS 11.4b1 - 11.4b3.

Step One
Download the Electra jailbreak from here and Cydia Impactor from here, saving them to a folder on your Mac.



Step Two
Double click to open the Impactor dmg.


Step Three
Drag and drop the Impactor app onto the Applications folder shortcut.


Step Four
Launch Impactor from your Applications folder. Click Open if asked to confirm.


Step Five
Connect your iPad to your computer via USB then drag and drop the Electra IPA we downloaded earlier into the Cydia Impactor app.


Step Six
You will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This is only used to sign the IPA, letting it run on your device.




Step Seven
Cydia Impactor will now sign the IPA and install the Electra jailbreak app on your device.


Step Eight
Launch the Settings app from your SpringBoard then choose Siri & Search from the Settings menu.


Tap to turn off the Listen for 'Hey Siri' and Press Home for Siri toggles.


Step Nine
Choose General from the Settings menu. Select Device Management from the General menu then tap to select your Apple ID.


Press the Trust "youremail@address.com" button and choose Trust from the alert that appears.




Step Ten
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up Control Center and tap to place your iPad into Airplane mode.


Step Eleven
Hold down the Power button and swipe the slider to power off your iPad. After a few seconds press the Power button to restart your device.


Step Twelve
Ensure you are in Airplane mode then launch the new Electra app on your SpringBoard.


Step Thirteen
Tap the Jailbreak button to begin the jailbreak process. If you don't want any pre-installed tweaks you may want to turn off the Tweaks toggle.


Step Fourteen
Your iPad will now reboot. Once it's finished, reopen the Electra app and tap the Jailbreak button again.


Electra will now install Cydia and inform you that OpenSSH is now running. Click the Exit button to complete your jailbreak!
