Download unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 13.0-13.7 [iPhone 11 and below]

Hacker pwn20wnd has just released the updated version of unc0ver with full-blown tweak injection support for iOS 13. Here’s how you can use it to jailbreak iPhone 11, iPhone XS, and other compatible devices. 

What’s unc0ver and how does it work?

unc0ver is a semi-untethered jailbreak utility for iOS 13 and below firmware versions. It is developed by developer pwn20wnd, who has been maintaining this tool ever since iOS 11 arrived on the scene. 

The latest iteration of this tool utilizes the open-source kernel exploit by Google Project Zero hacker Brandon Azad. Unlike checkra1n, you don’t need a computer to deploy the exploit over USB. If you have an internet connection, you are good to go.

There are quite a few different services you can actually install this jailbreak from. You can get it from like AltStore, AppCake, or Ignition. But for the sake of this tutorial, we will use AltStore as the unc0ver development team recommends it.

Furthermore, using AltStore or a local signing utility is, without a doubt, the most reliable way to jailbreak your device at the moment.   

Unfortunately, iPhone X and older models are incompatible as of right now. However, the development team has assured that these devices will get an update in the near future (Update: iPhone X is now compatible).          

Before you move onto the tutorial, make sure you have a compatible device that runs iOS 13.3 or below.

How to jailbreak iPhone 11/11 Pro Max/XS/XS Max/XR on iOS 13.0-13.3.1-13.4-13.5 with unc0ver

Setup and install AltStore on your device

Step 1 First and foremost, you must install the AltStore signing service on your iPhone or iPad. To do that, install iTunes on your computer if you haven’t already.

Step 2 Download iCloud for Windows and log in to your Apple ID account. Once you have set everything up, reboot your computer.

Step 3 Visit the official website of AltStore and download the installer archive for your respective operating system (Windows or macOS). We will use Windows for the sake of this tutorial since that’s most of the users are familiar with.

Step 4 The archive contains two files – AltInstaller and Setup. Extract both of these files to a folder called AltStore to any location on your computer.

Step 5 Run Setup. Click Next, set the location, and click Next again. Wait for the installation to finish.     

Step 6 Now navigate to the default installation location – C:\Program Files (x86)\AltServer.

Step 7 Right-click on AltServer and select Run as Administrator.

Step 8 Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer.

Step 9 Select Install AltStore and left-click on your device. 

Step 10 Enter your Apple ID username and password. 

Step 11 Your device will now display a verification code for your iCloud login. Enter that code in the field given below.

Step 12 Wait for the installation to finish. It should not take more than 10-15 seconds.     

Step 13 Once the app appears on your home screen, go to Settings > General > Device Management and select your Apple ID email.

Step 14 Tap Trust <email> to authenticate the free developer certificate for the third-party AltStore application.

Install unc0ver IPA 

Step 15 Open Safari and go to unc0ver.dev, the official website of the unc0ver jailbreak tool.

Step 16 Tap Download v4.0.0 to download the latest IPA file on your device.

Step 17 Once the website displays the download confirmation prompt, tap Download again. 

Step 18 Wait for the download to finish. The IPA file weighs about 36MB so this may take some time. Remember, you can always keep a tab on the progress using Safari’s built-in download manager.  

Step 19 Select the downloaded IPA file from the downloads manager and press the “open with” icon present in the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 20 Tap Copy to AltStore to copy the IPA file to AltStore and prepare it for sideloading.

Step 19 Wait for AltStore to sideload the app. Once it is installed, go back to your home screen and run unc0ver.

Step 20 Tap Jailbreak. Be sure not to make any changes, though, in its Settings section. The default options should be suitable for average users.

Launch Cydia

Step 21 Wait for the jailbreak process to finish. Once it’s over, the following message will appear on the screen – “Jailbreak Completed. No Error Occurred. The device will now boot into the jailbroken state”. Tap OK.    

Step 22 Cydia should now appear on your home screen once your device reboots. Launch Cydia and begin installing your favorite tweaks!
