How h3lix jailbreak works
h3lix is a jailbreak tool based on Siguza’s v0rtex exploit for iOS 10 firmware. It is developed by the eminent developer, Tihmstar.
It is immensely useful for users who own a 32-bit device. All 32-bit devices are now jailbroken for life!
This will also be the last jailbreak for 32-bit devices ever since they are now completely obsolete. You can now jailbreak these legacy devices on iOS 8, 9 and 10 as well.
It uses the standard sideload installation procedure just like Yalu jailbreak. Here’s the complete installation procedure for this tool.
But before you move on, keep in mind that this tool is tested only on iPhone 5 running iOS 10.3.3.

Hi,
I’m getting the following error when I run Cydia. After dragging the IPA file to cydia and imputing my iTunes details and hitting start, I get this;
” file installer.cpp;line.71;what:
_assert(!teamsempty())”
Has anyone any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,
Where is the “Direst download link above” for the IPAS file?
it gives error when putting the email address and the password.
the error is file: installer.cpp; line: 71; what:
_assert(!teams.empty())
When I open Cydia, it says “loading” and then crash. What should I do? I already press “kick start” in H3lix after restart.
my device not showing cydia after ‘run uicache’ ios 10.3.3 iphone 5c
Iphone 4 are 32 bit. Do they work?
Just check the compatibility list and if it’s not there, it won’t work.
iOS 11.4.1
Pls make this fully untethered jailbreak, that would be awsome.
There’s won’t be an untethered jailbreak because it uses a semi-untethered exploit only.
The jb worked fine first day but now it gives me uicache failed pls help mee
No I don,t have filza or ifile on my iPad. What should I do?
You must SSH into your device as shown here – SSH Tutorial.
I opened cydia, selected installed, selected cydia installer, and I removed cydia installer.
Do you have FIlza on your iPhone?
Can i reinstall removed cydia on iOS 10.3.3?
How did you remove Cydia?
I had it running well when the jb first came out. I had cydia, was installling repos,tweaks, apps, everything was running fine. I had turned it off and rejailbreaked it a few times with no problems, then all of a sudden it stopped working. At first it said kernel failed, and now it goes all the way to starting daemon and reboots but with no jailbreak. I’m using iPad 4th Gen, running 10.3.3 please advise.
Hey, Aldo. Which versions are you running?
Hey I’m getting “kernelexploit failed” when running the jailbreak.
I’m on ios 10.1 using iPhone 5. Not sure if that’s software related.
Kep trying it again and enable Airplane mode.
