Regardless, you put yourself in this situation and as you've been told, the ONLY way out is to erase the phone with your computer and set it up again, which means you MUST be on iOS 26.2.1. There is no other alternative.

Did you follow the instructions that users have provided to you?


Nothing is going to improve until you erase the phone and restore it again using a Mac or PC. Do NOT restore any backups that were made when you had the bad software installed on your phone.


When you have restored the phone, check to see what shape the battery might be in as follows:


Tap Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

Report on the reading that you see for Maximum Capacity

Whether you might find somebody that can detangle your current corrupted install (and preferably without scams and malware), we cannot assist with that around here.


Reliably untangling a jailbreak means a DFU factory reset and a reset means iOS 26.2.1.


Options? Sell this iPhone 11 and get either a newer iPhone with a faster processor, or sell it and get a replacement device with better support for the sorts of changes and deep customizations you seek. Consider acquiring a PinePhone running Linux, for instance.
