Tutorial [New 2018] How to fix and Install Theos on iOS 11 (Electra JB)

Oxytyramine · April 3, 2018

Heyya! let’s just get into the tutorial...

1st. Add this repo to cydia: repo.bingner.com and if there are packages that are asking for updates, update them

2nd. Install CA Certs, cURL, Rsync, Git, iOS Toolchain (LLVM+Clang, LD64, ldid and Make), Perl (FROM SBINGNER’s REPO! cos you might have Perl from coolstar's repo too...) libcompress... and libiocompress... from the same repo.

3rd. now everything is fixed and the only thing you need to do is install theos and set it up!

HOW to install theos?

first: add these 2 lines to

/var/root/.profile

so you can just use “theos” in terminal instead of a long ass command:

export THEOS=/var/theos
alias theos=$THEOS/bin/nic.pl

then run this command so this profile can run in Terminal:

source ~/.profile

second: run these commands to install Theos and Theos headers:

1st:

git config --global http.sslVerify false

2nd:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/theos/theos.git $THEOS

install the sdk yourself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is how it works on iOS 11:

IF you face an error like this:

find: 'plutil': No such file or directory
/var/theos/bin/fakeroot.sh: line 46: /usr/bin/env: No such file or directory
make: *** [/var/theos/makefiles/package/deb.mk:40: internal-package] Error 127

then install “plutil” from the same repo!

and Credits to this Amazing guy called Samuel Bingner for fixing Theos and all the dependencies of Theos for iOS 11

It's actually better if you install theos from their github and then pull from his

Thanks for the guide but i cant find headers and my tweak wont compile.

I found iOS 9.2 sdk but all the headers i put in the "include" folder are missing Foundation.h
