Chimera Jailbreak: iPhone 5s, iOS 12.0 - 12.5.7

Installing the semi-untethered Chimera jailbreak on an iPhone 5s, running iOS 12.5.7. Should work on lower versions of iOS 12 as well, devices running the A7 - A11 chipset (and now A12 with sort-of recent updates). Credits to the development team(s) given during the video, and below as well.

If the jailbreak is still failing on your device after multiple attempts, try the steps below (slightly edited):
[Credits to u/GlossedDev for the initial compilation of information and post to the r/Jailbreak subreddit]
1. Reboot phone normally (i.e. Hold power button, slide circle to right to power off phone, wait 10 - 15 seconds, press and hold power button again until device powers on)
2. Open the Chimera jailbreak app
3. Select "Enable Tweaks" (which may appear as "Disable Tweaks" instead) to turn off, then on again. I waited about 3-5 seconds in between enabling and disabling this toggle, repeated between 6-10 times
4. From your Notification Center turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, then switch on Airplane mode
5. Go to Home Screen, wait for phone screen to automatically turn off.
6. Wake phone, navigate to Chimera jailbreak app, start jailbreak.
7. If this fails, go back to Step 1 and try again.
8. ???
9. Jailbroken

[@simontee]

altstore no longer supports 12.0, is there an alternative?

[@DudePingu]

Oh, I wasn’t aware of this. Have you tried using cydia impactor or sideloadly

[@alfredti717]

error could not server

[@PatrikHD]

what to do when it says "your device could not be jailbroken becuase the exploit failed"

[@DudePingu]

Reboot, retry. Some folks have reported anywhere from 10 - 30 attempts before getting it working, Chimera is very finicky (especially on iOS iterations greater than 12.1.3)

[@levzk28]

my ios reboots everytime i click on jailbreak ( ive also tried enabling airplane mode) pls help!

[@DudePingu]

Hey there, all I can say is to power the phone off, Reboot, retry. You can also try the steps I put in the description.

@@DudePingu oh thanks

[@itzwxn3199]

I m doing everything buT I can’t use anything on this phone i have 12.5.7 and nothing working inside what next through my phone ?

[@DudePingu]

Hey there, yeah the jailbreak is a bit temperamental. You can always try reboot/rejailbreak if you continue to have issues

[@mreliasgriffith]

is there any way to get cydia from this?

[@DudePingu]

Check here, it looks like the deb is linked in this reddit thread. I’ve been satisfied with Sileo/Zebra/Saily and haven’t tried this, so Ymmv: www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/11uprrt/discussion_how_do_i_get_cydia_on_ios_125/?

[@WakaFIockaFlame]

[@DudePingu]

Haha glad it worked out :)
