[Tutorial] An alternative to Electra that jailbreaks much more easily on 11.2-11.4b3 - GSM-Forum

Note: I've redacted the name of the tool for now since I've heard it's against the rules to mention. The main reason I've heard is that it's been called a stolen product from Electra, which isn't true since Electra open-source. I've also heard that the developer created malware in the past so he shouldn't be trusted. I looked into this and found it to be a rumor that was likely not true. The developer gives credit to Coolstar in the credits. If I get permission from the mods to unredact, I will.

Original post:

I've been using _________ instead for about a month now and it takes 1-2 tries on average - max I've had is 4 tries. Overall, I've been very happy so I wanted to share how I did it if you're tired of how long Electra takes to rejailbreak.

If before installing you'd like to get to know the developer, he's been responsive to me when I was trying to install. He also really doesn't like Coolstar and made _________ to sort of one up him I think.

You can either Delectra/Rollectra your phone (keeping data is fine), or just install over Electra. If you choose the latter, note that I tried this the first time I installed _________. The consequence was that all of my tweaks worked fine, but Cydia showed nothing installed. The solution was to simply reinstall everything one by one - just make sure you have a detailed list of everything before installing _________. I recommend Rollectra though, with or without data, as it’s cleaner.
Get the latest version of _________ from _________ and install onto phone using Cydia Impactor, or you can download directly to your phone in Safari from the usual places.
Run _________! No need to turn on airplane mode or kill all apps. If it doesn’t work, your phone will autorestart, and you can try again. If it’s working it will say “VFS Working...”
Open Cydia. Ignore any updates for now.
After everything has refreshed, go to the Sources tab, tap Edit, and delete all sources that Cydia allows you to delete (you’ll get them back later, don’t worry).
Install this repo if it’s missing: https://electrarepo64.coolstar.org/
Search for and install “Substrate Compatibility Layer” if it’s missing.
Add back any sources you want and install all of your tweaks!

I also recommend you search for and install “ReProvision”. Later inside that app, set it to to auto sign _________ every X days. (If you installed using a developer account or the usual sources, you might have a 365 day license which means you probably don’t need to worry about this step for a while.)
