by Jailbreaking
Before you start:
You’ll need an Apple ID/ Apple Developer Account via https://appleid.apple.com/ and https://developer.apple.com
I believe that Impactor needs a full developer account at this point.
unc0ver Jailbreak for iOS 11.0 – 12.2
Cydia Impactor:
- Download Cydia Impactor onto your PC from here
- Extract to a folder and run the impactor.exe
Unc0ver.ipa:
- Download the latest .ipa from here
- Assets are located at the bottom of the page
Installing Unc0ver
Make sure you create a backup in iTunes and/or iCloud before doing this, just to be safe
Steps:
- Run Cydia Impactor and plug your device into your computer
- Generate an app-specific password, which can be done here
- After you sign in, it is located in the “Security” section
- Click “Generate Password” and type whatever you want into the box that appears
- It will generate a password, copy and paste that into a text document and keep it somewhere safe
- Drag and drop the .ipa onto the Impactor window
- Enter your apple id information but use your newly generated app-specific password as the password for impactor
- Tip: If it doesn’t work then you need to install iTunes (if its not already)
- After the installation completes, go into Settings -> General -> Profiles & Device Management
- Click on your apple id and verify the profile
Using Unc0ver
Steps:
- Turn off Siri (optional)
- Turn on airplane mode
- Reboot your phone
- Open Unc0ver
- Click the settings tab and make sure (Re)Install OpenSSH is toggled on
- Click the Jailbreak button, then wait
- If it fails, repeat from step 3 until success
- If it succeeds, it will rename system snapshot and reboot
- Open unc0ver again once your phone reboots
- Click the Jailbreak button again
- If success, a window will appear that says the jailbreak is complete
