The issue has not resolved itself....
But.... 3uTools fixed my jailbreak!
I have an iPad Mini 2 on iOS 11.1.2 and had Electra Jailbreak installed. It went past the 7 day before I re-ran Electra so my jailbreak needed to be reinstalled. With Cydia Impactor broke I have been waiting for Saurik to fix it which according to him most likely won't be until mid December.
After reading several people say 3uTools worked for them I decided to look at the tool myself so I installed it on my PC. I had no idea what 3uTools was at all. When I fired it up I saw it is much like iFunBox but better. I will skip describing everything in 3uTools and jump right to the fixing my jailbreak part. Install it and you can see what all it has to offer.
Across the top of 3uTools is an icon labeled "Flash & JB". I clicked that which opened a window with some information about my device and a button on the bottom that said something like "check jailbreak" (can't remember exactly what it said). I clicked it, 3uTools checked what iOS I was on (11.1.2) then automatically downloaded the correct jailbreak for that iOS {Electra1141-1.3.2) and installed it onto my iPad. 3uTools then told me the jailbreak was not complete yet and listed the steps I now needed to do to complete the process. (go to settings/profiles & device management and trust the certificate then open Electra on my device and tap the jailbreak button)
Bottom line is, 3uTools worked! My jailbreak is fixed and everything is back to normal. I didn't have to uninstall any of my apps either, as I read earlier someone said they had to do. 3uTools really was easy!
I wrote this in case anyone out there is unsure about 3uTools, like I was. I took a chance, tried it and was more than pleasantly surprised with what it did!
