Thanks for the heads up

Jailbreaks also stop the constant iOS update reminders right? Isn't that part of the JB

No, you need to install Mikoto for that.

I wasn't holding out because I loved a stable jailbreak or whatever, I just didn't pay attention to the ios thing for the past however many years. v:shobon:v Figures, the moment I decide to look into it again, I'm literally seconds too late.

Speaking as someone who just made the jump from 8.4 to 10.2, I concur! Especially if you have a 5S! Why not flex some of that 64-bit muscle?

My only regret is that KillBackground9 doesn't work on 10; a whole bunch of other tweaks do work, though..

Yeah, well all you have to do is re-run the yalu app to get your JB'd phone back.

Sadly, restoring 10.2 wiped out nearly all the tweaks I had running in iOS 8, now it's just a matter of hoping the devs rewrite for 10.2.

Even Cydia itself seems to be 32-bit? Well, guess it doesn't have to be 64-bit..

the 64 bit version of cyida is out now, but filled with bugs. Stay on the 32 bit version.

Oh, I had to 'downgrade' to v 1.02 for it to work. Also didn't know it needed IconSupport.
After updating tar, dpkg and Cydia itself to beta, as it was buggy, seems like things are working, however:

Anyone know why OpenSSH isn't working? Just stalls forever here:
code:
ssh -vvv root@10.9.8.7 (iphone address)

Open SSH isn't compatible with the jailbreak. I'd also upgrade cydia to 1.26 at least. The problematic version is 1.28.

Anyone who has updated to 10.2 should understand that while yes, the jailbreak itself is great and works fine and will get any small bugs sorted out in the relative-near future, the majority of tweaks are not updated, and some are dangerous to install. In fact, there is one specific, very popular Cydia tweak that will straight up boot loop your phone if you install it now, meaning you'll have to restore and lose your jailbreak.

Now go do your due diligence and figure out what that tweak is, don't install it, and in the process come upon the compatibility lists that will tell you everything that is safe to install!

So I managed to save my blobs at the prescribed website, does having these blobs help me for any subsequent JBs?

Never mind, saving the blobs will let me re-jailbreak with Prometheus, if I so choose, at a later date.

Hi guys. Got a bit of a thorny issue on my hands, hoping I can find a little help here. I'm on a 6s with 10.2 using Yalu's beta 1 right now, and I'm trying to restore a clean 10.2 install and re-jb on top of that. Trouble is, it seems something is corrupted inside my iphone's file structure that's causing itunes to abort every backup I try, and i have no older backups to fall back to. If I try to back up to my Mac, it throws without fail an "insufficient storage" error which i find quite unlikely (128g iphone against an empty 256g mac), and if i try to reroute the backup with a symbolic link to a large external drive I’m met with “backup corrupt or not compatible.” My questions are this:

* I installed a piece of software I found by the name of “syncios” with a real-time logging feature, figuring there’s a corrupt file somewhere in my iPhone’s structure that’s failing the backup. Only problem is I’m not too versed in log reading and it spits out what mostly appears to be gobbledygook. Is there any kind of key phrase or section I should be on the lookout for to find what file/files the backup is failing on so I can go in and 86 them?
* Failing that, are their any resources available to perform a manual, completely itunes-free backup of some kind? Any special places I can start looking around the file structure to import things manually? I’m mostly concerned with offloading pictures, messages and the contents of an app or two. Are those the sorts of things that can be backed up/restored manually with root/file manager access or would iOS pitch a fit at finding something that iTunes didn’t put in there?

Thanks for the help you guys, hopefully someone can help me find some answers to this. I’m kind of stuck in limbo until I can get this figured out :/ Thanks again!

From what I can tell, installing AppSync will force your device into a bootloop.

If you have Mikoto or No PLS recovery installed that'll stop itunes from being able to restore. Definitely the latter, unsure of the former. Uninstall all your poo poo at any rate.


I have my own problem as well. Re-JB'd and everything's great actually. Only problem is that for whatever reason I keep getting signed out of google chrome whenever I'm jailbroken. It's super annoying. It won't sign in, or stay signed in, and I have no idea what's causing it.

I saved blobs for 10.2 for both my 6+ and iPad Pro. Not sure if I'll JB even when Promethius comes out, but worth doing just incase.

9.3.3 has been running without any issues what so ever, it's not worth risking that for me. I don't have the time or effort any more to have things mess up for me.

I guess it makes sense that trolls would want to JB their devices. BTW, you didn't help, or understand my post I guess; and it wasn't to do with compatibility (from the list, that I already had checked out).

But hopefully you scored some points in these 'comedy forums' we all love so dearly. Taste it later.

Don’t be daft. iOS 9 had compatibility spreadsheets in its early days also. In fact, the iOS 9 days were totally disappointing because after the jailbreaks started dropping people realized BiteSMS wasn’t, and would never be made compatible with iOS 9+.

So how do I install Kodi on iOS 10? Why doesn't Kodi's website have .app files any longer? It wants me to do some signing exploit instead of giving a .app option for jailbreakers.

Honestly I am actually amazed Kodi wouldn't be compatible with iOS10 but it is with iOS9. I figured incompatibility was reserved more for system hack type stuff.

Yeah, I hear you.

Sys Admin control of the device, that's all I really want. But a few things available now are good. It's fairly stable.
I am sure that I'll need to get a new phone when 11 comes out. Apple will make sure of that I think.

I took the plunge last night and used Prometheus/FutureRestore to update my 9.3.3 iPhone 6 to 10.2.

I had to borrow my girlfriend's mac (because I don't have one and VMWare ran like dog doodoo) so a lot of the time spent was on installing dependencies for the mac to work correctly. Once the mac was set up correctly, Prometheus was smooth sailing and the update went without a hitch.

He's not busy working on a 10.2 jailbreak for the iPhone 7. There isn't one, and never will be from him. This has been known since around the time of the 10.1x jailbreak.

Edit: to be more clear, the iPhone 7 has more protection built into it than phones before it. These protections are enforced on 10.2 on the 7, and while they could be cracked it would involve using and revealing exploits that the jailbreak devs don't want to reveal, possibly because it would make their lives harder when trying to jailbreak future iOS versions.
