Jailbreak iOS 12.4 Guide

The steps to jailbreak are very simple and available to everyone.
  1. Make sure you have iOS version 12.4 by going to Settings > General > About your iPhone. If you have accidentally (or automatically) updated to a higher version (iOS 12.4.1 for example), you will have to downgrade your iPhone since the Jailbreak is only for version 12.4
  2. Turn off Find My iPhone by going to Settings > [name] > iCloud and unchecking Find My iPhone. You can restore it later, after the Jailbreak.
  3. Deactivate the unlock code and check that in Settings > General > Free space there are no "pending" updates (about to be installed).
  4. Set airplane mode and connect your iPhone to your computer
  5. Launch Cydia Impactor and you will find your iPhone name in the list. Drag the Undecimus .IPA file and, when prompted, enter your Apple ID credentials. At this point, the application will be installed on the iPhone (download procedure).

  6. Once the installation is complete, open Settings > General > Profile and tap Verify [Apple ID name] and then confirm with verification to have the ability to run unc0ver directly on iPhone.
  7. At this point we start the unc0ver application that we find on the phone with one touch and click on "Jailbreak".
If the procedure is successful, we will also have the icon Cydia on our device. At this point our iPhone is ready to install settings and modifications through Cydia. We invite you to consult the updated list of Cydia repositories.caution: This version of the Jailbreak is not permanent and unc0ver will have to be run again with each reboot. In addition to this, the certificate created to start unc7ver expires every 0 days (see point 6); To overcome this limitation, please read below.

Automatic certificate renewal to discover

To avoid having to repeat the steps every time the unc0ver usage certificate expires (7 days), we can install an automatic update tweak from Cydia: Replenishment.




  1. Add the repo.incendo.ws repository (Edit > Add from Cydia)
  2. Install the ReProvision package (basically a version of Cydia Impactor for iOS).
  3. Launch ReProvision and sign in with your Apple ID (if you are having a problem due to two-step authentication, go to appleid.apple.com and then create a password in the Security section that you will need to use instead of the usual Apple ID ). password ).
  4. Now you have the option to install IPA files directly from Safari; then go to the unc0ver repository and open Undecimus with ReProvision.
  5. Select “Install” and from this moment on, the certificate management The use of unc0ver can be done directly using this App and without connecting the iPhone to the computer.
