Hard Reset

If your device suddenly displays a black screen with a spinner on it after Electra’s UI has reached Stage 2/3, the jailbreak has succeeded. You should hard reset your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to see Cydia on the Home screen.

You can enable Find My iPhone, Passcode, disable Airplane mode again after the jailbreak of iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

If these tips won't fix your jailbreaking issue, keep up to date with new releases of the Electra Jailbreak Tool, the Electra Team continously releases new versions with bug fixes (i.e. Electra v1.0, v1.0.1, v1.02).
