Houdini11 semi-jailbreak now supports iOS 11
As you already know, Houdini is a limited version of jailbreak and brings basic theming and customization to the iOS operating system. It is also called a “semi-jailbreak”.
Earlier, it was available only for iOS 10-10.3.2 versions. The latest update brings support for iOS 11 firmware as well.
Houdini11 uses Ian Beer’s async_wake exploit to get root access and apply the necessary customization. Therefore, you can use it only up till iOS 11.1.2 and all other newer versions like iOS 11.2 are incompatible.
Here’s what’s new in the latest update.
- Built-in Ad-blocker
- Change icon shape
- Enable new emoji packs
- Customize boot logo
- Add your face to Animojis in iPhone X
- Quick startup
- Additional safety measures
- Theme support for iOS 11 (not working yet)
Update (June 6) –Â Houdini Beta 3 released for iOS 11.2-11.3.1 firmware versions. You must have a paid developer certificate to run the app on your device. Remember, you must turn Siri off beforehand to increase the success rate of the exploit.
Update (June 13) –Â Beta 3r1 released. You don’t require a paid developer account to run it on your iPhone or iPad.

How to install Houdini11 on iOS 11-11.1.2/11.3.1 firmware
Step 1Â Download the Houdini11 beta 2 IPA file using the download link above.
Step 2Â Connect your device to the computer and start Cydia Impactor. Wait for it to recognize your device.
Step 3Â Sideload the IPA file by dragging it over to Impactor’s window.
Step 4Â Key in your Apple ID details.
Step 5Â Wait until it sideloads the IPA onto your Apple device. Once it’s done, the app will appear on your home screen.
Step 6 Go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management and verify the Houdini app under your email address.
Step 7Â Open the app from your home screen. You can now perform various actions such as respring and clean system and customize your device.
Themes aren’t working right now so make sure you don’t apply them. However, the developer will surely add theming support on iOS 11 in future versions.
You can also install it using package installers such as Tutuapp and Appvalley. I don’t recommend it because they add advertisements in all their applications and you must use jailbreak tools from trusted sources.

Try keeping your iPhone idle for 10 minutes and then retry.
I have an iPhone 8 plus running iOS 11.3.1 and I sideloaded the IPA onto my device, it doesnt have an icon so its just the white background with lines going through it. Whenever I open it it says “Running..” then reboots my device. It repeats this process every time I have done it about 30 times by now and no progress, any help? Im on Beta 3r1.
Keep your device idle for 10-20 minutes and then attempt again.
Hello, the 30% success rate you mentioned refers to the success rate of 30 out of 100 mobile phone restarts, or the 30% success rate of iOS 11.3.1 worldwide
It’s the former.
Just reboots iPhone10.
The success rate of the new exploit is rather low. It can take up to 20-30 tries to work.
