UniBoot quasi-untetherer aims to solve all your semi-tethered jailbreak woes. Here’s how you can install and use it on your jailbroken iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

What is UniBoot?
UniBoot is a Debian package that turns a semi-untethered jailbreak into a fully untethered jailbreak. It is developed by renowned tweak developer, Artikus.
What sets this untether package apart from other similar tools is its ability to run without an exploit.
All similar tools come with an exploit and actually affect the jailbreak process proactively unlike this untetherer.
Once you slide to shut down your device, it performs the following actions –
- Prevent iOS from executing the shutdown sequence.
- Force enable low power mode.
- Set brightness to minimum.
- Display “Turn on” message on the screen, which will turn on your device.
Here’s a video demonstration of this tweak.

It also replaces other shutdowns (or reboot) methods that are used by tweaks, like iOS stock ones or the “reboot” and “halt” terminal commands.
How does it work?
UniBoot is a truly one-of-a-kind tool and pretty complicated one as well. Here’s a simplistic explanation of how it works –
- It replaces the intrinsic shutdown and reboot functions of iOS with its own highly modified functions.
- These modified functions prevent iOS from unpatching the kernel because the device still has battery left.
- The user can now restart his device without the need to re-jailbreak.
Essentially, this untetherer will prevent reboots, which, in turn, prevents re-jailbreaking. You can then use your semi-untethered jailbreak like a fully untethered one.
Compatibility
UniBoot supports both 32-bit and 64-bit jailbreak tools on iOS 9-10.3.3. You can use this untetherer if you are running any of the following jailbreak tools –
- Pangu (iOS 9.2-9.3.3)
- Phoenix
- Home Depot
- yalu102 (iOS 10-10.2)
- extra_recipe (iOS 10-10.1.1)
- Saigon (iOS 10.2.1)
- h3lix (iOS 10-10.3.3)
- g0blin (iOS 10.3-10.3.3)
- Meridian (iOS 10-10.3.3, useful only when it gets a Cydia update)
Warning – The Debian package is untested so use it at your own risk. DO NOT install it on any incompatible jailbreak such as Electra or LiberiOS.

Sorry, this work on iOS 10.3.3 on iPhone 5s jailbroken whit doubleHelix? Thanks
Yes, you could try that.
It won’t install the .deb file on filza. I’m using Double H3lix JB 10.3.3
Which error are you getting?
Cool
Not working on Phoenix iphone 4S that I used to download and tried tweaks
Does it change the administrator name and password when this is installed ?
Because I was able to get su status with the default admin but once I tried this tweak I can no longer do it it doesn’t recognize the name or pass and doesn’t allow me to run any admin commands.
No, it doesn’t. If that’s the case, I suggest removing this tweak.
I did and I’m still having same problem, it used to show my ipad~, now it says, “my iPad ~ mobile$” and Denys any admin action. Can you give me advice on how to get back to default?
This is all while using terminal.
Are you able to login with “alpine”?
no it gives me this message when i start the command SU – “-sh: su: command not found”. does this mean anything to anyone?
Try removing it.
it did not work on IPhone 5S running Yalu 10.2
Does the lower power mode preserve battery life just as well as the normal power off?
What if you accidentally butt-click the turn on option?
No, it doesn’t do that as well the stock power-off. Turning on requires holding buttons so don’t worry about that.
Don work on h3lix (10.3.3) & Yalu jailbreak (10.2) 🙁
No compatible in yalu jailbreak ios 10.
How about Phoenix jailbreak will it work on that .🇬🇧
Yes, it will.
not working on iphone 6 10.2.1
Sorry if this is a dumb question:
Does this keep the JB if the device crashes?
Yes, it does so by enabling a low power mode but it doesn’t work in the event of a kernel panic as far as I know.
You can make 8.4.1 and to crack it
So I assume this has no love for the Phoenix Jailbreak? I’m on iPad2 9.3.5 Jailborken?
Wait for an update.
You can make 8.4.1 and to crack it
Lmao “Jail borken”
