Grandma 65

I thought I lost my 9.3.3 JB for sure but I've been working on it for 3 days now and finally entered no-substrate. My boot loop and Cydia dkpg lock occurred after attempting to installing an iwidget from BigBoss repo. i don't see it in the cydia list of installs and it never made it to my screen either. I feel like my JB is just past my grasp and I need a little directing. I deleted my last 5 tweaks even though they worked fine. I have ifile, AF2, icleaner (not pro) and no impactor. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm not sure if I should be excited about this or not. I've found 2 iphone 5s's for sale for $130 bucks. They are brand new never taken out of the box, never activated, nothing. They were purchased from walmart 16 months ago May 2016. That puts them right in the ballp[ark of being ios 9.2 - 9.3.3. It was August I believe when 9.3.5 came out. So I'm geeked about fresh jailbreakable phones, but they have straight talk sims. Seeing as they have never been even charged, is there some way possible to use another carrier or unlock this phone? If not, would there be any reason I would want to avoid this deal? And can I get a confirmation that I should be able to download the Pangu/PP app to install Cydia? I'm supposed to be buying them tomorrow night. Thanks for any input

No its just in non-jailbroken state. I get the bootloop repeatedly when I try to enter safe mode using JBME (and Avalon too). I was able to get safe mode one time out of many attempts the other day. I opened Cydia then qued most recent tweaks for removal but the respring bar never came up. The problem started after trying to install an iwidget from BigBoss that froze Cydia in all red text.

Before I lost my 9.3.3 jailbreak cydia flashed a message in red "dpkg lock", and then kindly proceeded to boot loop. I'm wondering if Impactor and a reset will work for me. And if so, will I be able to download and use Pangu/PP seeing as the certificate expired back in April? I deleted my original Pangu app right after I added the JBME/qwerty tool to my homescreen. Grandma will bake a big batch of cookies and send them to whoever can help me out of this painful predicament!

Hello. I'm probably one of your more senior members, in age that is. I'm 52 and bought my first iphone about 2 years ago, 5s 9.3.3. Within 2 weeks I had it jailbroken and haven't looked back. Most recently I've been trying to learn Bash scripting and have created a few complicated activator recipes with Activate Command. I've found a lot of helpful tips here at this site as a guest in the past, but I'm truly lost with my current jailbreak problem. Perhaps if my Grandbabies were older they could help me, but they have to learn to talk first.
