Help/Support Non-Tethered jailbreak no longer working after restart.

Sourshades · April 9, 2017

Hey guys, I'm using an iPhone 6s+ running iOS 9.3.3

I used the Pangu* jailbreak and it has been working with very few flaws for about 6 months now.

My current issue is after a hard restart of my phone (power/home button restart) my phone goes into normal operating, then I click on the jailbreak icon and follow the usual steps

.click icon.click big circle with Chinese writing.wait for my phone to restart.jailbroken.

however, for the last week, it restarts as it should, but it either gets stuck on the apple logo screen and freezes, or the jailbreak activation was unsuccessful.

anybody have this issue before? If so, what did you do to resolve?

I do not have access to a computer to re-jailbreak completely.

Thank you,

Sour

There's a jailbreakme website for the Pangu 9.3.3 jailbreak set up by Luca Todesco, the co-inventor of the Yalu jailbreak.. Go to this link. Make sure passcode / touch id and find my iphone are all off.. No need for computer.

Thank you for your reply, however, it is still not working yet after trying multiple times a day for a while.

I do have a surface pro with me, do you think I would be able to use that?

If so, what do I need to do?

rejailbreak, updates or anything?

Since I am on 9.3.3, I was wondering if I could jailbreak to a better IOS version then just completely rejailbreak without losing my things. I know some tweaks are working only on 9.3.3.

Resetting the date had no effect so far, I'll continue with the VolUp/PB through the first website you sent me.

Would you be able to assist me on finding a detailed link about the impactor? And would that cause me to lose all of my current hacks/tweaks

You won't lose any tweaks. As soon as you are rejailbroken, regardless if you use website or app, cydia will reappear and all your tweaks, themes etc will be working again.

Cydia impactor is pretty simple to use. Just download it, install, hit "check for updates" in case by some chance it's not the latest version.

Open impactor with your device connected to computer, and make sure it shows up. There should be an option that says "install package/app" something like that. Select that, then drag and drop the .ipa file right onto the program. It'll ask for your iTunes email and password. Enter that, and it should install app. A common error is if you have 2 step verification with your profile, then you need to go to apple's website to get an app-specific password. I turned off 2 step verification (on the same website) after getting annoyed with the long passwords I had to type in.

Did you try the reset network settings?

I would just keep trying with the app, and changing between having it plugged in to power when you hit the button to start jailbreaking, and then unplugging as you hit lock, and vice versa, and trying to vary how long you wait to hit the lock button after hitting the button to start the jailbreak.

And sorry I forgot to mention having app in BG when you power down..

Read this article it basically does a better job explaining what's wrong and how to fix it.

I did try the network reset, what does BG mean? I'll check out that link now, if BG is mentioned there you don't have to explain it ? Thanks again man

I may just try the impactor on my surface pro, I assume the .ipa file will be one I download the from Pangu site?

also, do I need to delete my Cydia & PP apps on my phone before starting this?

sorry I'm asking so many questions, and thank you for all of your help, you go into great detail

No need to apologize, or give rep for each answer. I try to help when i can so ppl maybe help me when they can.

Yes delete the old jailbreak apps from your device first. The file you download from the Pangu website will be an .ipa. Here's a good tutorial I found on using impactor.

You don't have to delete Cydia though.. Just the Pangu apps. And just to clarify you can't open Cydia correct? Because if /when you can then the jailbreak worked.

I cannot open Cydia. I'm about to go forward with the impactor and deleting the Pangu PP app

Sounds good. It's not too difficult. The hard part is the annoying state your device is in. You'll get it rejailbroken though. Just gonna take a few more tries.

Yeah sounds like you are doing everything that should eventually work. It's a pain but eventually you should be able to get it.

Sounds like you're following the suggestions correctly.. I know that's what worked for me when i was flipping out I couldn't rejailbreak with my 9.3.3 6s+. Good luck, hope it works soon. Don't give up.

Whelp, this is where im at, still consistantly trying to fix this issue, and tonight, since my last post, I was able to go into Substrate mode which was the volup/power button, and my phone was jailbroken using the english version IPA of Pangu, However, none of my tweaks worked, it only allowed me to open Cydia, and after restarting my phone to do a normal jailbreak install, it got me back to square one...

any further suggestions from this point if I can have my phone in substrate mode, and I CAN use Cydia>?

I'll let you know how it goes! Currently downloading itunes&impactor and finding my Pangu .ipa.... Damn hotel wifi ?

Edit: Actually sounds like u are in safe mode. Just Respring device and all should hopefully be well. Open terminal and after entering password, type "killall -9 SpringBoard" And hit enter. That'll Respring. B4 respringing tho try uninstalling unneeded or potentially conflicting tweaks. Something is causing SB to crash.

Safe mode is designed to make ur tweaks stop working so you can fix conflicts.
