Reinstall Cydia on Electra Jailbreak for iOS 11.1.2, iOS 11.1 and iOS 11+: If you are using Electra Jailbreak for your iOS 11/11+ device then you are already aware of the whole lots of problems coming with Cydia which is bundled along with Electra Jailbreak. If you have heard views of Saurik, developer of Cydia, then he has categorically declared that he is not working, as of now, with Cool Star for patching up Cydia for iOS 11.1.2, 11.1 and 11+ firmware.
But you can still reinstall Cydia on Electra Jailbreak using an unofficial method highlighted below in this post. Cydia is necessary and holds utmost importance on a jailbroken iOS device as tweaked applications won’t work properly without Cydia plus there is not way to install a tweaked application, without Cydia, in case somebody deletes it or it gets deleted by accident.
Disclaimer: Again, just like I say in other related posts, I will reiterate that please try the following method only if you are familiar with iOS operating system from head to toe as the method requires changes in the internal file structure as well as deletion of some files. However, if you don’t care about the consequences, then you can go ahead.
