After yesterday’s fiasco, Coolstar is absolutely furious over the tweak developer who leaked the test IPA file. Although he can’t do much now, he will now implement a DRM mechanism to the upcoming build of Electra.

Why is Coolstar implementing a DRM in Electra?
For those who don’t know, Coolstar seeded the “test” copies of Electra RC1 (Cydia build) to select developers.
He also gave a strict directive to all testers that they ought to keep the IPA file private.
One of the testers went rogue and leaked the Electra RC1 IPA file publicly on the internet.
Here’s how Coolstar reacted to it on Twitter.
The young developer was sly enough to add a watermark to every IPA file he sent out. This allowed him to track down the rogue developer by inspecting the leaked file.
Now, users who are on the leaked RC1 will have trouble updating whereas users on beta versions will be good to go.
Is this decision right on Coolstar’s part?
This is, indeed, a poor decision on Coolstar’s part. He is purposely doing that just to stick it to all those who dared use the leaked IPA.
Punishing the end users who tried it doesn’t accomplish anything and only wastes the developer’s time.
This time would have been spent better had he actually invested it in support and releasing the final update.
The only way to prevent a leak online is to keep all your code or tool private until you really wish to release it.
Handing out files like candies to testers and developers without checking their credentials is just asking for trouble.
How can you bypass the DRM?
According to him, the DRM will detect all traces of the leaked IPA.
While I don’t know much about it, it definitely detects any bootstrap binaries present in the root bin folder.
Once it detects any leftover files, it blocks the user from running the tool.
If you install FilzaElectracuted, remove the binary you file you transferred to install it. Also, run the uninstall script by following this tutorial to prepare your device for the update.
If you unknowingly or purposely installed it, I will post a proper uninstallation tutorial very soon.
For more scene updates, give us a thumbs up on Twitter and Facebook.
Rc1.3 pliz buddy?
I have removed it at the request of the developer. Hit me up on Twitter.
I heard that RC4 will be released soon and hopefully, after some testes, it will be released to the public.

Since RC3 is already out, can you share it?
I can but I won’t. There’s been a lot of drama, lately.
Cool star left Twitter
He will be coming back very soon, though. He’s just taking a break.
Eta on the uninstall tool?
I want to use the RC 😀
Its already out but wait for a future beta.
eta on the uninstall RC tool?
It’s already released on out Twitter page.
Hasnt RC3 leaked?
Yes, it has.
See if you are criticizing coolstar (who apparently is doing this for free) then kindly make sure you mention the name of the developer who leaked the version ie, Andrew Wiik aka Andywiik ,this is a guy who doesn’t have ethics or decency. Andrew Wiik is an insult to every developer.
It is because of such behavior no one actually isn’t active in the ios jailbreak community.
Some people are just ungrateful and have no patience.
Actually, Andrew didn’t leak anything. He just said he will crack the DRM in version RC4 once it comes out. Coolstar didn’t name the developer who actually leaked it.
it’s no longer a matter of trying to do a tutorial because coolstar has dropped everything. he even deleted his Twitter account 🙁
Please conform that should I need to remove FilzaElectracuted? And please give tuotorils for that.
Alright, I will update the tutorial.
hello, you say that you will make a tutorial how to remove the jailbreak electra R1.2C developers?
Yes, I will. I will upload it today.
How do I uninstall electra rc1 please
Tutorial coming soon.
I installed it because of you, I thought nothing would happen, now I can’t install the official version, please help me to eliminate traces of this whore ipa.
An uninstallation tool is coming that will remove all traces of it. Moreover, Coolstar has clarified that there’s no DRM, but a filesystem change that makes the older version obsolete.
Did you also read the 20 warnings that say use at your own risk? Don’t make other people responsible for your choices.
