Unc0ver Jailbreak App – How to Install using a PC or Mac

Good jailbreaks have been in short supply in recent times, but we are now starting to see one or two decent utilities again. The latest and by far the most popular is Unc0ver jailbreak.

 

 

It has full support for all A7 through A13 devices with 64-bit ARM systems and running on iOS 11 upwards and has proven itself as being more stable and reliable than some of the previous utilities. Read on for more details.

 

Download Unc0ver jailbreak

You can install Unc0ver jailbreak on your iPhone or iPad in these two ways:

 

Method 1: Download Unc0ver on iPhone

This is an easy method, directly installing the Jailbreak to your device:

1. Back up your device data
2. Using the Safari browser, download the Unc0ver app from the TopStore appstore
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the file – when you see the icon on your home page, the file is downloaded
4. Go to your iOS Settings app and tap on General
5. Tap Profiles & Device Management and tap on the profile for Unc0ver Jailbreak
6. Tap on Trust, close Settings, and go to your home screen
7. Tap on the Unc0ver icon and then tap Jailbreak when the utility opens
8. Wait for your device to respring, and you will see the Cydia icon

 

Method 2: Using AltStore

AltStore is an unofficial app store that allows you to install the Jailbreak safely, along with a few other apps too. You must ensure that you refresh the app every seven days using the AltServer companion app on your computer – this way, Apple cannot revoke the certificate.

1. Follow the detailed guide at the link to download and install AltStore to your device
2. Open your Safari browser and download Unc0ver jailbreak
3. Launch AltStore, tap on My Apps, and tap on the plus icon at the top of the page
4. Tap Unc0ver 5.3.1, and the installation will start
5. The icon is on your home screen when the Jailbreak is done

If you don’t use the AltServer companion app to re-sign the app every seven days, the certificate will be revoked, and it will all stop working. Either connect your device to your computer with the USB cable or enable Wi-Fi Sync in iTunes and make sure your device and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Unc0ver and Cydia Substrate

The Unc0ver Jailbreak uses the Cydia substrate, the underlying platform that allows code and software to be modified without needing to access the source code. And, of course, you can install all your favorite apps and tweaks.

You do need to be aware that Unc0ver is semi-untethered and must be reactivated whenever your device reboots.

 

Remove the Unc0ver Jailbreak

Removing the Jailbreak from your device is simple to do:

1. Open Cydia and tap on Installed
2. Delete your tweaks individually
3. Launch Unc0ver and tap Settings
4. Toggle the Restore RootFS (Rec0ver) and Refresh Icon Cache
5. Go back to the main screen and tap either Jailbreak or Rejailbreak

Be patient; it can take a few minutes to complete. When the RootFS message appears on your screen, tap OK, and it’s done.

Unc0ver Jailbreak is one of the most popular jailbreak utilities in recent times. Its stability and reliability make it well worth trying so go ahead and start jailbreaking your device today.
