I found afc2add pretty buggy at the moment, so i created small and dummyproof alternative guide to access root filesystem via iFunBox on iOS 7. How to Browse iOS 11 File System Using iFile IPA Without Jailbreak. Last Updated. Or modifying your filesystem without iFunbox or a computer. The new native Files.
Yet another alternative to Installous, AppCake, AppAddict, vShare and HiPStore. iFunBox is similar to another alternative we showed earlier called Kuaiyong. It is a piece of software that is downloaded to your PC or Mac (currently no Linux support) that enables you to sync IPA files to your iDevice. iFunBox also allows you to sync music and videos to your iDevice from multiple computers too without having to erase your previous library as you would with iTunes.
Before you get started, we recommend you check out our list of the very best Installous alternatives too.
How to install iFunBox
As always, Technouz cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to you or your device as a result of following this tutorial. All information listed below is for educational purposes only.
Step 1: You’ll need a jailbroken device. If your device is not jailbroken you can find a step-by-step guide listed here.
Step 2: We’ll deal with everything on the iOS device first. You’ll need AppSync which can be installed from the following sources on Cydia:
- http://repocydia.com
- http://cydia.heaveniphone.com
- http://cydia.iphonecake.com
Step 3: With AppSync installed, head over to your PC or Mac and download the iFunBox software to your desktop device from this link.
Step 4: Once the download has completed, install the application as you would with any other desktop software and launch it.
That’s it! You can now use iFunBox to install applications from your desktop computer to your iOS device. You can search Google for sources to download .IPA files. Please remember to support the developers of iPhone applications by purchasing their software.
The video below gives a very good overview of iFunBox and how it works:

Since Saurik is yet to release a jailbreak, developers have started updating his core packages for iOS 11. You can download a new alternative to Apple File Conduit 2 for iOS 11 below.
What is Unrestr1ct0r?
Unrestr1ct0r is an Apple File Conduit 2 alternative for iOS 11. It is developed by hacker Jake James.
For the uninitiated, Apple File Conduit or AFC allows your computer to access your device’s root filesystem. You can then make use of utilities like iFunBox to install music, wallpapers, etc.
Apple File Conduit was originally a tweak by Saurik. He usually pushes an update once Apple rolls out a major firmware upgrade.
However, there have been quite a few unexpected events that have delayed its release further.
- Warning – I highly recommend not to install Unrestr1ct0r at this stage unless you really require this functionality. Wait for an update to drop and then install.
Requirements
- An iPhone, iPad, or iPod running iOS 11-11.1.2
- Electra jailbreak
- Cydia
- iFunBox
How to install Unrestr1ct0r on iOS 11-11.1.2
Step 1 Open Cydia.
Step 2 Downgrade Link Identity Editor (ldid) to version 2.0.0. This step is essential because Coolstar’s latest version of ldid is broken. Going back to a previous version will fix this issue.
Step 3 Reinstall jtool Installer if it’s present on your device. If it isn’t, simply skip this step.
Step 4 Your device is now ready to install the main package. Go to Sources and tap on Edit > Add.
Step 5 Add Jake’s repository to Cydia – jakeashacks.com/cydia and install the following package.

Step 6 Launch iFunBox or any other utility to get unfettered access your root filesystem. Remember, these tools will still detect your device is “jailed” state, not in “jailbreak” state.
The reason behind this is that these tools can only detect the original Apple File Conduit tweak by Saurik.
Since you are using Unrestr1ct0r (an alternative version), you will get that message but you will still be able to install anything on your device.
