How to remove Jailbreak from iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

Method 1: Best option is to restore your device. Make sure you take a backup because you will losing all your data present on the device. I prefer to take backup on iCloud as it backs up everything. Backup in iTunes will not have Music and Apps backed up. Now connect your iOS device to iTunes and click on Restore. You will be prompted to take backup before you restore. Once the restore is completed, your device would be jailbreak free. You can now restore your backup to get back all your information. This is the safest method.

Method 2: This method would just remove Cydia and not the jailbreak. It basically hides your jailbreak. Open Cydia and tap on Manage from bottom bar. Now go to Packages and look for Cydia Installer. Tap on Cydia Installer then select Remove on top right menu. Let the process finish and Cydia will be removed. Make sure you remove any jailbreak tweaks you have installed before removing Cydia.

I hope one of the above method was useful for you. Let us know, what was the reason you removed your jailbreak?

Best Installous alternative to install IPA files

There are many reasons why people jailbreak their iDevices and Installous was one of them. I said ‘was’ because Installous has been shut down by its developers. Installous was used to install IPA files directly from your iPhone or iPad. Though most of the users used it to pirate apps. The real reason developers created Installous so that users can try costly apps before buying them. It was a good idea which helped users in saving money because once you download any app and you don’t like it, your money is gone. Even if Installous is no more life must go on. To help you out we have created a list of top 5 Installous alternatives which will help you in installing IPA files.

Top 5 Installous Alternative

Disclaimer: We are not affiliated to any app or developer mentioned in this post. We don’t encourage piracy or any of these method to install IPA files. Developers have put in lot of efforts to create iOS apps and are usually available in AppStore for very low price. We do not support piracy and even you should not. This is just an informative post.

1. AppCake

AppCake is the best alternative to Installous with similar interface and functions. You won’t be having problem with AppCake if you are frequent user of Installous. It is also quite popular among jailbreakers.

2. vShare

vShare was formerly known as Appvv. vShare is very much similar to Installous at the backend but with different interface. But it has very limited app catalog. Developers behind vShare are very active and are constantly upgrading vShare and are refining vShare user experience. As vShare will gain pouplarity the app problem will diminish.

3. Zeusmos

Zeusmos was developed by a fifteen year old named Kevin and has gained quite a popularity. The best thing about this alternative is that you don’t need to jailbreak your iOS device to use Zuesmos. To use this app you need to shed $5 per year which is I think cheap as you don’t need jailbreak for this app to be functional.

4. AppAddict

AppAddict is new player in this list but we cannot ignore it. It is very simple to use as you just have to visit the website from Safari and select the app you want to install. This one too has very limited number of applications but is very useful if you just want to directly install the apps without installing any repo or app for it. AppAddict is working on feature similar Zeusmos where users can install apps without jailbreaking their device but the service is still in early beta.

5. iFunBox

We sure can’t miss iFunBox, it’s a App/File Manager for iOS devices. This app is available for Windows as well as Mac and can used to transfer apps to your devices. It does not have any mechanism to download apps like other alternatives but it can do more than just installing IPA files.
