How to Download Unc0ver Jailbreak:

There are two ways to get Unc0ver jailbreak on iPhone:

Method 1: Unc0ver IPA File

Using this method, you can easily install Unc0ver jailbreak directly on your device:

1. Use iTunes or iCloud to back up your data – this is important, in case anything goes wrong or you want to restore your device at a later date
2. Open Safari browser and go to the Unc0ver jailbreak page – download the jailbreak
3. Follow the on-screen directions, and when you see the Unc0ver icon on your home page, the jailbreak is downloaded
4. Open Settings and go to General > Profiles
5. Tap on the Unc0ver profile and tap Trust
6. Close Settings and tap the Unc0ver icon on your home page
7. Tap the Jailbreak button
8. Wait – when your device resprings, you should see Cydia on your home screen – the jailbreak is done

Method 2: Using AltStore

AltStore is a 3rd-party app store that offers some apps and an easy way of sideloading other apps, like the Unc0ver jailbreak. However, you should be aware that you need to use your computer for this and AltServer, a companion app to install the jailbreak. This requires your device to be physically connected to your computer or using iTunes Wi-Fi sync.

1. Download AltStore onto your device following the linked instructions
2. Download Uncover jailbreak using Safari browser
3. Open the AltStore app on your iPhone and tap on My Apps
4. Tap the plus (+) button at the top of the screen and tap on Uncover 5.3.1 – the jailbreak will begin installing
5. When you see the Uncover icon on your home screen, the jailbreak is ready to use

Cydia Substrate:

The Unc0ver jailbreak relies on Cydia substrate, the popular platform backing Cydia and allowing you to modify the code and software without physical access to the source code. Plus, the Cydia package manager is where you get all your tweaks, mods, apps, and more.

However, you should keep in mind that Unc0ver is semi-untethered, and this means, whenever you restart your device, you need to reactivate the jailbreak.

How To Remove Unc0ver Jailbreak:

If you need or want to remove Unc0ver from your device, there are two ways to do it. If you have no intentions of jailbreaking again, simply restore your device using iTunes. Alternatively, you can use the built-in RootFS feature:

1. Launch Cydia and tap on the Installed tab.
2. Delete each tweak, mod, app, etc. that you installed manually
3. Now open Settings and toggle Refresh Icon Cache and Restore RootFS (Rec0ver)
4. Go back to the main screen and tap Jailbreak or Rejailbreak

Now wait – this could take a while as your root filesystem is being restored. Leave your device alone, and do not reboot it. The RootFS message will show on your screen when it’s done; tap on OK, and the jailbreak is removed.

Unc0ver is definitely the best jailbreak we have right no,w so try it today and see what you think of it.
