Just this week, the Electra Team updated its jailbreak for the first time since this Summer, bringing the tool(s) up to version 1.1.0.
Unlike the all-in-one unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd, the Electra jailbreak is fragmented into two separate tools; one of those supports iOS 11.0-11.1.2 and the other supports iOS 11.2-11.4 beta 3. Regardless, both tools received notable updates.
On Christmas day, the Electra Team released its public beta of Sileo, a package manager that will attempt to compete with Cydia for market share on the jailbroken iOS 11 platform.
Citing the official Sileo Twitter page, the Sileo beta preview is being hosted on the default Electra repository in Cydia on devices jailbroken with Electra. When Sileo comes out of beta, it will be distributed on an entirely different repository.
Despite Saurik’s decision to shut down the Cydia Store, the jailbreak community is still running strong. New jailbreak tweaks are continuously being published in Cydia and are readily available for you to download.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we’ve shown you this week, from Monday, December 17th to Sunday, December 23rd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.

Given everything that’s been happening lately with the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3, it can be easy for some to forget about Electra and some of the noteworthy developments that were in the works for it.
One that struck us in particular was Sileo, a full-blown package installer that was supposed to replace Cydia on jailbroken iOS 11 devices. Five months ago, the Electra Team teased that Sileo would be “coming soon.” Fast-forward to today, and it’s still not available; so… where is it?

The ever-so-popular Mobile Terminal (MTerminal) app for jailbroken devices was updated on Tuesday with official support for iOS 11, a move that’s certain to excite jailbreak power users. The latest version of the app is now 1.4-6.
MTerminal is fundamentally an on-device command-line interface (CLI) that lets jailbreakers run powerful commands, and if you’re a veteran jailbreaker, then the interface shown above should look nostalgically familiar.
