Help/Support 9.3.3 Jailbreak Removal

blazebinder · August 20, 2017

Okay, so I've had the 9.3.3 jailbreak on my phone for the longest now (iPhone 6s Plus 16gb but its really 11.55 gb because Apple is like that), and I decided to get rid of it to get some of the iOS 10 features. I was just wondering, if I were to update to 10.3.3, would i keep the jailbreak apps that I had? (iCleaner, AppCake, etc.) I ask this because due to the semi-jailbreak that came with 9.3.3, when you didnt rejailbreak your phone after restarting you'd still have the jailbreak apps on your homescreen. The 1-year thing i had on the PP app expired, and the jb.me website hasnt been working for weeks, so I decided to get rid of my jailbreak. If I were to restore and update to 10.3.3, and backup using the backup I had when I had the jailbreak apps on my homescreen, if I restored from backup would I still have the undeletable jailbreak apps?

Btw there are other site you could've used to rejailbreak iOS 9.3.3 . Restoring to iOS 10.3.3 would reset everything to default, just with a new iOS version. UPDATING, while still having your tweaks and apps from cydia, will keep all data but you cannot use anything that requires "jailbroken mode" . So basically you would have iOS 10.3.3 and jailbroken apps just taking up space.

Why would you update? There obviously are other ways to re-jailbreak again. And if anything you would keep when updating would be the things that modify system files like some icon layout tweaks and stuff, but that might only be on the same OS since from iOS 9 and iOS 10 is a new OS it may replace all system files idk I did it a long time ago.

Maybe no time soon you ment to say, the people making these jailbreaks would sure sell it to Apple, making couple million on something that your just going to give away for free. And if your assuming will a leak come out? I'm sure Apple will make sure that they would have to prove that only seller have that jailbreak and if it was to get leaked there's probably a contract between the seller and Apple. Apple would sure win that lawsuit. The last jailbreak was sold and I'm sure many others were also. i sure hope the future person(s) would make a change and just make it premium to jailbreak, I'm sure they would make more $$$ than what Apple is offering.
