unc0ver iOS 12 Jailbreak Stuck at 27/38
This is the only issue that I faced while jailbreaking my iPhone. When jailbreaking through the unc0ver app my iPhone would give crash report and reboot when I reached 27/38 step of the jailbreak process. I tried multiple times but it didn’t help. Finally I rebooted my iPhone and tried again, and thankfully it worked. The jailbreak process completed and gave me a notificaiton that the device is jailbroken, after which the device got a respring. Finally Cydia icon appear on the home screen.
