Unc0ver is one of the most popular and most stable of all the recent iPhone jailbreak utilities, supporting iOS 11 to iOS 13 on any A7 A13 64-bit ARM system. iOS 14 jailbreak is in the works at the moment and will be released soon. Read on to find out all the details.

How to Download Unc0ver Jailbreak:

There are two ways to install the Unc0ver jailbreak onto your iPhone or iPad:

Method 1: Unc0ver Jailbreak App

First, make sure you back up your data using iTunes, iCloud, or both, or any other compatible backup app.
Next, open Safari and download the Unc0ver jailbreak to your device. You can also install it from the TutuApp appstore.
Follow the on-screen directions and wait for the Unc0ver icon to show on the device home screen.
Now open iOS Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management
Find and tap the Unc0ver profile and tap on the Trust button.
Close Settings
Tap the Unc0ver icon on your home screen
When the app opens, tap the Jailbreak button.
Wait – when your device resprings, you will see Cydia on your home screen; open it and set it up for use.

Method 2: Using AltStore App

AltStore is an unofficial app store that offers a safe way of downloading the jailbreak to your device. However, it isn’t such a straightforward method, requiring your PC or Mac and a companion app called AltServer. You must also make sure the app is refreshed at least once a week to ensure it doesn’t expire. Using AltStore, the Unc0ver IPA file can easily be installed right on your device:

Download AltStore and follow the linked guide to install it
Download the Unc0ver IPA file on your device. Link available on in Method 1 – Step 2.
Open AltStore on your device and tap My Apps.
Tap the Plus (+) button at the top of the screen and tap on Uncover
Wait for the icon to load on your home screen, and the installation is done.

Cydia Substrate:

The Unc0ver jailbreak makes use of the popular platform, Cydia Substrate, which backs up Cydia and lets you modify the code and software without physical access to the source code. And with the popular Cydia Package Manager, you get access to all those apps, tweaks, mods, libraries, and more you used to get with previous jailbreaks.

Do be aware that this is a semi-untethered jailbreak, which means you will need to reactivate it when your device is rebooted. You can also use the built-in RootFS utility to unjailbreak your device.

How to Remove the Unc0ver Jailbreak:

This is easy enough to do:

Launch Cydia and tap on the Installed tab
Delete each installed app or tweak manually
Open the Unc0ver jailbreak app and tap on Settings.
Toggle Refresh Icon Cache and Restore RootFS(Rec0ver) options
Go to the main screen and tap on Jailbreak or Rejailbreak

Now, wait. The restoration of your root filesystem can take some time, so do NOT do anything with your device. You must NOT reboot it even if it doesn’t appear to be doing much. The RootFS message appears on the screen when it’s all finished; tap OK.

Are you ready to try Unc0ver jailbreak on your device? It isn’t a fully untethered utility, but it is stable and reliable and is definitely the best option we have for jailbreaking right now.
