TuT Pangu iOS 9 Jailbreak Trouble Shooting

KrimZik Fire · October 19, 2015

Cydia Trouble Shooting Before checking out the following fixes, make sure you:

Turn off Find My iPhone on the device.

Turn off Touch ID & Passcode.

Turn on Airplane Mode.

If you’re getting stuck at 45% during the jailbreak process with Error 0A then you’re going to need to head into iTunes to resolve this one. With the iOS 9 device connected via USB, open iTunes and select the hardware from the bar at the top. Under the “Backups” header, make sure that Encrypt iPhone backup is not checked. Take an unencrypted backup of your device and try the jailbreak process again.

/usr/libexc/Cydia/cydo error(2) error

This type of error is enough to terrify the average person attempting to jailbreak their device. The nature of the error makes it look extremely technical and will undoubtedly induce panic. If this particularly error is received as part of your jailbreak journey then the only way to bypass it and resolve the problem is to entirely restore the connected device to iOS 9.0.2 using iTunes and attempt the jailbreak process again.

Blue Screen Flash (Stuck at 90%)

During the jailbreak process, when the jailbreak tool asks you to run Pangu app followed by prompting you to give access to Photos app, if at this stage your screen flashes blue and jailbreak fails at 90%, try the jailbreak process again only this time launch Photos app first before opening Pangu app when the tool asks you to.

‘Start’ Jailbreak Button Grayed Out

This one isn’t exactly an error, but it’s enough to mean that you can’t even attempt to jailbreak the device. If this is a problem that’s affecting you, then it is advised to (re)install the latest version of iTunes on your Windows machine and then try to connect your device by USB at least once.

Runtime Error

If you get “Runtime Error! … This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way …” when running Pangu on Windows, here’s what you need to do: http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-pangu-ios-9-jailbreak-runtime-error-on-windows-heres-how/

Installed iOS Public Beta Profile

If the “installed iOS Public Beta Profile” message is being presented as part of the process then you’re going to have to start deleting profiles from the connected device. Open the native Settings app and navigate to General. Select the Profile entry and delete the public beta profile before reattempting the jailbreak process.

Error 51 (Stuck at 65%)

If you get “Error occurred in preparing the environment, err code (51)”, follow the steps as outlined here to fix the problem: http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-pangu-error-occurred-in-preparing-the-environment-err-code-51”-during-ios-9-jailbreak/

Cydia Not Showing Up

If you think everything has gone smoothly, but there’s no Cydia app present on the device then don’t panic. The advice here is to launch the native Photos app within iOS before running the newly installed Pangu application. Exit out of the Photos app, run the new Pangu app and grant access when prompted. Cydia should then show up.

Stuck At Apple Logo (aka BLoD or Boot Loop of Death) After Jailbreak

Cydia Crash

Everything seems to have gone smoothly, but then Cydia crashes every time you try to open it. If this is happening to you, follow the instructions here to fix the problem: http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-cydia-not-opening-crashing-after-pangu-9-jailbreak-guide/

Missing Settings For Jailbreak Tweaks (Update: fixed)

Update: PreferenceLoader update is now available which fixes this issue. Grab the update on Cydia.

This one is currently a known issue. PreferenceLoader, which is a small jailbreak utility that allows developers to grant a configuration tab in the native Settings app, has yet to be updated with iOS 9 support. This means that settings and preferences will not show for many installed tweaks, and in some cases certain packages will simply cease to work on iOS 9. This can’t be resolved until PreferenceLoader is updated by the developer. The good news is that the developer is aware of the issue and is working on the update for iOS 9.

WinterBoard Not Working

WinterBoard is not ready for iOS 9 yet. But there’s way around it to force it to work on iOS 9. Follow the instructions for it here: http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-winterboard-not-working-on-ios-9-iphone-and-ipad-heres-how/

OTA Updates Issue

If you happen to be experiencing issues that aren’t listed here, and the interface doesn’t provide you with any additional information, then it’s likely that your device had the latest version of iOS installed via an over-the-air (OTA) update. OTA updates are known to cause issues with jailbreaks for one reason or another, so the solution here is to entirely restore the device clean to stock iOS 9.0.2 via iTunes.http://www.redmondpie.com/ios-9-beta-download-release-date-features-and-rumors-update/
