How To Jailbreak Your Iphone ON IOS 10 using Yalu and Cydia Impactor ( MAC )



Please note that currently this jailbreak is in extreme beta and only has only been tested to support the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on iOS 10.1.1. Do not attempt this if you need your device working as the procedure may not succeed and you might have to restore your device. The jailbreak is currently being updated and will soon work with additional devices including the iPhone 6s and iPad Pro on any iOS 10 firmware.

Additionally, Cydia Substrate is not working yet. Your tweaks will not work so again you may want to hold off until yalu exits the beta stage.


Step One


  • Make sure to backup your device using iCloud or iTunes. Only continue if you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus on iOS 10.1.1.


Step Two


  • Download the latest Yalu jailbreak IPA from here and Cydia Impactor from here and save them to a folder on your Mac.



Step Three

  • Double click to open the Impactor dmg.



Step Four

  • Drag and drop the Impactor app onto the Applications folder shortcut.



Step Five

  • Launch Impactor from your Applications folder.



Click Open if asked to confirm.


Step Six

  • Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB and making sure to select Trust if prompted.




  • Drag and drop the mach_portal+yalu IPA downloaded earlier into the Cydia Impactor app.



Step Seven

  • You will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This is only used to sign the IPA, letting it run on your device. 





Step Eight


  • Cydia Impactor will sign the IPA and install the new Yalu jailbreak app (mach_portal) on your device.



Step Nine

  • Once the app has successfully downloaded to your device you must trust the developer profile created under your email address.
  • Tap Settings, then General, then Device Management.




  • Select your email from the Device Management menu




  • Tap Trust (your email)



  • Click the Trust button from the popup that appears






Step Ten


  • Return to the Home screen and launch the Yalu (mach_portal) app. 



  • You'll see a white screen displayed for about 15-20 seconds.



  • Your iPhone will now reboot and you'll have Cydia on your SpringBoard! Congratulations, you're jailbroken! After each restart you will need to relaunch yalu (mach_portal) as this is a semi-tethered jailbreak. After relaunching yalu (mach_portal), you'll be able to launch Cydia and enjoy your jailbreak.
