Installing ElectraTV
For support in English, ask for help on the r/Jailbreak Discord Server.
ElectraTV is a semi-untethered jailbreak, meaning it requires an app to re-apply the exploit after a reboot.
ElectraTV is capable of jailbreaking all devices on tvOS 11.0 to 11.4.1.
Due to how semi-untethered jailbreaks work, the app will need to be re-signed once every 7 days.
We will use Sideloadly to install the ElectraTV jailbreak application to your Apple TV for use in the next step.
Downloads
