Flex 3 Cydia tweak now supports iOS 11-11.1.2 firmware
Developer John Coates has just updated Flex 3 patching engine for iOS 11 firmware. You can now freely install it on your Apple device running iOS 11 firmware.
Along with iOS 11 support, you can now also use it on g0blin jailbreak for iOS 10.3.3. The beta version 43 also adds proper code signatures to existing frameworks.
For the uninitiated, Flex is the ultimate hacking and tweaking tool for jailbroken devices. It contains tons of patches and hacks for various different iOS applications and games.
This allows you to get features that are missing from the stock versions of these apps.
You can download its Debian package and its associated dependency below.
- Update – You can now download this tweak from “https://getdelta.co/” repository using Cydia. Don’t follow the tutorial given below if you are on Electra RC1.0.x version.
Download Flex 3 (iOS 11)
- Beta 43
- RocketBootstrap 1.0.6~beta 1 (dependency)
Requirements
- A 64-bit Apple device
- Electra jailbreak toolkit
- RocketBootstrap (core package)
- Filza file manager
- iTerminal
- ZipApp free
How to install Flex 3 on iPhone X and older models without computer
Install RocketBootstrap dependency
Step 1 Download RocketBootstrap version 1.0.6~beta 1 using the link above. Ensure you open the link using Safari.
Step 2 Open the Debian package in ZipApp free (AppStore application). Extract its contents in its default directory.
Step 3 You will now get three separate archives. Extract the data.tar.Izma archive in the same directory again.
Step 4 Open FilzaEscaped file manager and navigate to the root folder of your filesystem.
Step 5 Search for “rocket” by tapping the magnifying glass icon and open the extracted folder.
Step 6 Copy and paste the following files to appropriate locations –
- Copy com.rpetrich.rocketbootstrapd.plist from Library/LaunchDaemons to boostrap/Library/LaunchDaemons
- Copy RocketBootstrap.dylib and RocketBootstrap.plist from MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries to boostrap/Library/SBInject (must be transferred with WinSCP on a computer)
- Copy rocketbootstrap.h and rocketbootstrap_dynamic.h from usr/include to bootstrap/usr/include
- Copy librocketbootstrap.dylib from usr/lib to bootstrap/usr/lib
- Copy rocketd and _rocketd_reenable from usr/libexec to bootstrap/usr/libexec
Alternatively, you can use Tweak Installer utility to install this package automatically. However, you must have a Mac or a Windows computer to make use of it.
Install the patching engine
Step 7 Download Flex 3 beta 43 using the link above and open it using ZipApp free.
Step 8 Launch Filza again, search for “Flex”, and open its extracted folder.
Step 9 Transfer the following files.
- Copy Flex.app to from /var/mobile/Library/Flex3/ to /Applications
- Copy Flex.dylib and Flex.plist from /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries into /bootstrap/Library/SBInject
Remember, don’t try to install it with Tweak Installer because it throws an exception handling error as soon as it establishes an SSH connection.
Add the requisite entitlements
Step 10 Go back to /Applications and tap the “i” icon next to Flex.app.
Step 11 Tap Sticky and add “0777” as its permissions.
Rebuild uicache
Step 12 Open iTerminal app and launch its SSH module. Ensure you enable Wifi before proceeding to the next step.
Step 13 Enter the following details (password is “alpine”) and tap Connect.
Step 14 Once you are in the Terminal, enter the following commands to rebuild the uicache. Keep pressing return after each line.
uicache
killall -9 SpringBoard
Apply patches to games and applications
Step 15 Launch the application from your home screen.
Step 16 You can now select user-submitted patches from the Cloud section.
Step 17 You can also patch any app or game that you is present on your Apple device. For example, here are a few patches that you can use for the Google Drive app.
- Allow Rotation
- Hide Siri Dictation Key
- No Shadows
- Remove Quick Access for Drive
I recommend waiting for a proper release if you feel this tutorial is a bit too complicated for you. Once Suarik releases Cydia, you will be able to install all jailbreak tweaks directly without SSH.

You egznbxv
Thx for the app
Welcome, Abdullah.
I don’t have bootstrap folder
A same tool to patch Windows software ?
Windows software?
Hi great tutorial! I’m on the latest version of the Electra jailbreak and I installed flex 3 from cydia however when I try to create my own patches it says processing error? Is this a known issue? I’m on the iphone x btw
Yes, it’ a known issue but you can fix it quite easily. Simply, close the app you are trying to modify and let the required executable fail. Tap back in Flex and exit t. Run the app you want to process again and go back to Flex. It will now start working. Hope this helps.
It has a pretty serious error, when you try to process an app, it gives an error and that does not work anymore. Please help
It will be getting an update pretty soon now that Cydia is out. Watch out for that!
Done everything as listed, use installer to install the rocket files, then moved the Flex folder & everything else yet it crashes.
Use Cydia and then install Flex with it.
This doesn’t work, I followed all of ur steps
It is working just fine for me. Try signing it with jtool.
and how is it installed in the version electra rc 1.2?
Im stuck on the iterminal part because it keeps saying failed to connect.
You dont have to use WinSCP to copy RocketBootstrap.dylib and .plist it worked for me
Why do I get an error in passing the file? from winscp
Have iPhone X used tweak installer to install flex and the app is there but keeps crashing have Rocketbootstrap
Try installing it from Cydia.
I do not even add it with WinSCPcrash, the icon appears but it does not work
the steps are sure to have them all done correctly
Try installing it from Cydia.
Link is dead
Rocketbootstrap.dylib is not there I tried windows 10 zip editor ZipApp and iZip pro
It either says file type (null) or it doesn’t appear or does nothing
Transfer it using WinSCP.
I do not even add it with WinSCP
Why?
I can’t do it with WinSCP because the .dylib file isn’t appearing for some reason
Install it via Cydia.
No in the deb file doesn’t have the dylib
That’s a symlink.
Is it compatible with iPhone X?
Yes, it is fully compatible.
Not able to process any executable … done all steps same as stated above (you made a mistake … instead of flex.pp you wrote filza.app)
And in sbinject rocketbootstrap.dylib is a symbolic link to librocketbootstrap.dylib present in bootstrap/usr
You have Rocketbootstrap.dylib in the 6th step twice there bud
Thanks, edited.
