Device info: I have an iPhone 8+ downgraded to 11.4 beta 3 from 11.4. I had the jailbreak working just fine, but then dumb luck my phone decided to reboot last night and I woke up to my phone no longer in the jailbroken OS. Electra opens fine so it's not verification issues. The button says Enable Jailbreak but I can't get it to do that. It worked the first time after hours of trial and error with the VFS version. This time seems to be different considering I've been trying almost all day today and haven't gotten any closer. The farthest I get is stage 2, but then the app crashes to a black screen and I have to reboot.

Problems: The VFS version either reboots at Please Wait (1/3) or the screen goes black at 1/3 or 2/3, then I close the app from the app switcher and it just launches to a black screen and I have to manually restart only to keep getting stuck in the same loop. Most of the time it reboots on stage 1/3. Every now and then I'll get error: exploit, but it usually reboots itself at that point. On the MPTCP version, I always get the same exact thing, Error: exploit.

Solutions I've tried: I've run the VFS at least 200 times over the last 2 days, each time trying a different combination of triggers (like leaving the screen on electra for a minute, or opening electra and shutting the screen off for a minute) and MPTCP at least 100 times, each time getting error: exploit. I've tried all fixes I could find listed on reddit, online and in YouTube videos. I've turned off Siri, WiFi, Bluetooth, passcode, auto lock, Find my iPhone, even cellular data. I've turned on airplane mode and rebooted my phone with airplane mode turned on. I have cleared the RAM multiple times, hard reset and the TV os beta profile is installed from ignition.fun. I have tried the trick where you open Electra and shut your screen off for a minute then hitting enable jailbreak, as well as opening it and leaving it for a couple minutes then hitting enable jailbreak. I've tried both the VFS and the MPTCP versions from ignition.fun and Tweakbox and I've run both exploits multiple times with the tweaks toggle on and off. I've also tried the VFS (non-dev) ipa though Cydia Impactor. I've tried upgrading/downgrading again, restoring from backup and I have even gone so far as to completely erase my phone and try it with nothing on it besides the stock system, but same results occur.

I'm at the end of my rope with this. I don't know what to do. If anyone has a solution or is willing to try to help me please try I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thanks.

(If you're only here to tell me to post this somewhere else or look at the FAQ, which I already did, or something along those lines please don't bother. I need real help from people. Thank you)
