iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Available by CoolStar

The entire iOS jailbreak community has been waiting for a new jailbreak tool ever since Ian Beer discovered a kernel exploit in iOS 11.3.1. CoolStar who is famous for managing to create some of the most elaborate jailbreak tools has said that he is going to use the kernel exploit found by Ian Beer and create a complete Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak, and it looks like CoolStar is almost ready to release it.

iOS 11.3.1 Successfully Jailbroken

CoolStar kept on posting updates on the highly anticipated jailbreak tool and it seemed like the developer is not able to do it. Luckily, CoolStar finally managed to successfully create an iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool and he provided pictures in order to prove that.

Apple started rolling out iOS 11.4.1 and this is what probably motivated CoolStar to hurry up and create the iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool. Nonetheless, CoolStar’s pictures show that he managed to install Cydia and Anemone which is a theming engine on an Apple device that is running iOS 11.3.1.

Not Ready Yet

While the tool developed by CoolStar might make it look like the jailbreaking community is victorious, this is not the case. CoolStar is saying that even though he managed to install Cydia and Anemone, iOS 11.3.1 is super buggy and it’s not ready to be released.

Developer Account No Longer Required

On the bright side of things, CoolStar also mentioned that a $99 developer account is not going to be required in order to jailbreak iOS 11.3.1. This means that everyone will be able to unlock their iPhone or iPad once CoolStar manages to get rid of the bugs and releases the public version of the Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool. From the looks of it, CoolStar is going to need one more week before that happens.

iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Tool Electra – An Update After the Exploit Release

The jailbreaking community has been impatiently waiting for another update about the Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool. From the news that we have gathered so far, we know by now that Electra for iOS 11.3.1 is bound to happen. This is due to the latest Ian Beer exploit, a confirmed public release and we know of this from CoolStar as well.

According to the latest posts from CoolStar, all the needed components to update Electra already exist and at the moment he is working on renovating the tool. CoolStar has also confirmed that all the important pieces for the jailbreak have been put together and now he just has to put them all in the right place, while making sure that Electra will be able to perform in an efficient way. The jailbreak tool has to sustain all supported devices and firmware editions.

However, it is important to remember that CoolStar will work for now on creating a jailbreak tool for individuals who have a paid Apple Developer account. For the moment, these users will be prioritized. So most probably the public will not be able to have access to the iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool.

Nonetheless, this is not to say that users should pay $99 for a paid developer account from Apple. CoolStar actually advised people not to do this and wait for additional information about a public-facing release.

There has been no timeframe provided for the expected release. As you can probably imagine, having all the necessary components of the jailbreak tool is maybe just half of the work. Putting all pieces together, fixing technical glitches and developing something that supports all compatible firmware models and devices requires a lot of hard work. The tool has to be stable and reliable before it is launched to the public.

We will keep you updated if any additional progress is made. We also advise you to have your device prepared on iOS 11.3.1, while Apple is still signing the firmware.

iOS 11.3.1 Complete Jailbreak Tool is Now Available

Apple recently hosted its WWDC event where it unveiled everything there is to know about iOS 12. The major software update is scheduled to roll out during this fall and this means that jailbreakers need to step up their game if they want to unlock iOS 11.3.1 before Apple stops signing it. Luckily, Abraham Masri managed to create a semi iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool which gives us hope that a full version might arrive in the upcoming future.

Houdini iOS 11.3.1 Semi Jailbreak Tool

In case you didn’t know, Abraham Masri is an experienced hacker and developer who loves to take on Apple’s iOS. The developer just launched a Houdini iOS 11.3.1 semi jailbreak tool that uses the iOS exploit which was found by none other than Ian Beer, another prominent personality in the iOS jailbreak community.

Nonetheless, the Houdini tool is renowned for giving iOS fans the ability to access multiple apps, features and functionalities that stock Apple devices are not usually able to run. Unfortunately, this is not a full jailbreak, and this means that Cydia cannot be installed.

Complete Jailbreak Tool

We should mention that Abraham Masri is not the first developer to release a semi jailbreak tool for iOS 11.3.1 since the folks behind Electra managed to do the same thing. On the downside of things, the semi jailbreak doesn’t allow for a complete Cydia installation and it doesn’t fully open iOS to features and functionalities that Apple doesn’t agree with.

Although, having a semi jailbreak tool is better than nothing. Moreover, the semi jailbreak tool also shows that cracking iOS 11.3.1 is possible and that in due time, Houdini or Electra might be able to offer a complete jailbreak. The only thing we can do right now is to wait and hope that Abraham Masri, Ian Beer or other jailbreakers will find new exploits.
