How to Replace Unc0ver with Chimera Jailbreak On iPhone & iPad
However, if you are unsatisfied with Unc0ver Jailbreak then you can overwrite the Jailbreak with Chimera. Unc0ver Jailbreak keeps on crashing and getting it installed on the iPhone never happens.
To replace Unc0ver with Chimera, all you need to do is follow all the steps that are mentioned above like sideloading the Chimera IPA using Cydia Impactor and Jailbreaking using the app itself.
The Chimera Jailbreak is still under construction like Cydia Substitute is yet to be updated for A12-A12X Bionic devices so do not rush! Wait for couple days until the Jailbreak becomes stable as there are many bugs on this new Jailbreak right now.
