Download and install latest Electra from the official website: https://coolstar.org/electra/

Once Jailbroken, open Safari and visit “Cydia://“ URL to see if it opens Cydia.

[mithunnivas 1 13]

this is what i did. i am not reponsible if this does not work or if it hurts your device. do it at your own risk.

1. cloud erase

2. erase all contents and settings

3. filzaescaped installed

4.deleted all files relating to cydia by searching for cydia and Cydia.

5. installed electra and tried to jailbreak. it gave me topanga error.

6. went through the code snippet detecttopanga() method in github of coolstar.

7. searched for those files and deleted. still i got the same topanga error.

8. installed topanga jailbreak app through cydia impactor.

9. chose option remove topanga.

10. after it is over i rebooted the phone.

11. installed electra and successfully jailbroken the device.
