MikAndMe22 · April 28, 2017

Update:

Thanks everyone for your help on this; but I have solved my problem- I'm still on iOS 9.3.3 and I got my jailbreak back.

When there is a jailbreak out I'll try to update my phone again.

So how did you solve it?

Just mark an answer as the best answer that helped you, or your answer explaining how you did it.

It would take. Week to say how I solved it because that's how long I've been trying to fix it.

In a nut shell the only way to update the phone is to use a iOS system recovery software which cost about $60 I have dr.phone toolkit. None of the free ones worked 3utook included.

to regain my jailbreak sine I'm stuck on iOS 9.3.3 that was the most difficult task. When I attempted to erase all contents and settings to unjailbreak because the certificate was expired and pp app no longer worked; the pp app got deleted but all the other jailbreak apps remained including Cydia.

cydia did not work as it was damaged during the reset, basically the repos were there but they were blank and nothing was installed. I tried the online rejailbreak process no luck.

After many days and several attempts by trial and error the following was how I restored my jailbreak. My problem was my lib folder was missing and pp app kept telling me to install Apple file conduit 2 but my Cydia was completely empty and unusable. If anyone has this problem these steps should help you.

1: use this link https://jbme.qwertyoruiop.com/

to jailbreak - note Cydia will not work properly or at all since this does not fix Cydia but u need to be in jailbreak mode to do the following.

2: download Cydia fix zip file just google it. The folder should contain a lib folder.

3: download ifunbox (google it) in ifunbox place the lib folder in books. Go to your device then system folder and select books then drag and drop the lib folder there.

4: go to ifile (unplug your device from the computer exit and close ifunbox first) and go to user/media/books. Tap edit and cut the lib folder then back out to / var and paste the lib folder there.

5: go to Cydia and try to update or install something. If your problem is some form of file missing error (those should be fixed) then it would say dpkg_locked. If that happens go back to ifile and go to the lib file you pasted and go to dpkg folder and go to updates and delete the updates and return to Cydia.

6: if you try to use Cydia and get the trying to overwrite mobile substrate error just go back to ifile and go to /libraries/mobile substrate and delete the dynamic libraries file. Go back to Cydia and you should be able to install/update etc.

7: after respring go back to Cydia if your preference loader is missing go to the home page of Cydia go to more package sources and install the big boss package.

8: your sources list will appear in setting however you will still need to reinstall each source as they will not work even if they did during the process above.

Note: your Cydia may not work meaning when u try to install/update anything it crashes after a few respring. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that I usually wait until the phone respring then I install/uninstall anything in Cydia. My Cydia works best when the jailbreak is disabled it's a bit annoying but I can live with that.

Hope this helps.

Update on Cydia crashes with 9.3.3 jailbreak on and can only be used when deactivated. If you are experiencing this turn off all features in cydown it's the problem.

Cheers...
