The JB for the 7 / 7 Plus which is 10.1.1 based, has been mentioned to stay away from, very buggy unfinished with numerous issues.

I have a 7 Plus that I forced stay on 10.1.1 and will wait for the gamma / stable JB release from Luca rumored to come out later next month.


I jailbroke my 7 plus phone 10 days ago the only issues I had was iMessage then after I used the commands everything was good

Then the iMessage gifs seemed to break after the jb - I reset my network settings and that was resolved

Any news on an update to a more stable jailbreak for IPhone 7 Plus. I know that there was supposed to one released very soon.

No real news other than Luca saying that he's busy with other project and he will updated when he can. He did say that 10.1.1 isn't that bad of a beta after all. Based on that info I went ahead and jail broke my 7 Plus.

Pretty stable.

Really, if you haven't jb already, just do it. Don't let the talk of bugginess scare you. It's super stable. Just follow the directions and tutorials in this thread and you'll be fine. I'm glad I did it, and I'd feel silly for waiting for a more "stable" release for months that may not ever materialize.

Is there a link to instructions? I followed the link on the first page but it's just a poorly written webpage with some of the beta changelog notes. Yes I'm a moron and need some hand holding for the process, no issues admitting that.

I've got a 7+ and I've held onto 10.1.1. I'm assuming 10.1.1 is the best option for JB right now, correct? Also being semi untethered what happens if I reboot? Can I run the JB from the phone itself again, or do I need to connect to my PC again to JB? If I don't re-JB is the phone not usable?

Finally, if I decide to un-jailbreak than I'm stuck with the latest OS correct? I didn't back anything up when Apple was still signing 10.1.1.

Hmm, followed all instructions. When I hit the Yalu app then hit go, it just says "failed, retry" When I retry it reboots, but no jb or cydia. Anyone know?

you need to use the Yalu beta 3 version
mirror (my own) - beta3
What did you use 7? if so that will not work for iPhone 7's. (from what I read)

Yeah I used 7, so beta 3 is the last one to work with an IP7? I'll give it a shot. How stable is beta 3?

Edit: Beta3 not working either. First time it rebooted phone, but on reboot no cydia. 2nd time I tried it I just got a white screen, couldn't get out of it and had to hard reboot the phone.

Edit2: OK after hard reboot I have Cydia, but it won't open, it just flashes for a split second then closes. Tried running mach_portal app again, but it just white screens and does nothing.
[doublepost=1488315483][/doublepost]
Launch Cydia, add repo: http://83.218.67.215/~ijapija00/cydia/ and download Substrate Fix (iOS 10) and use that to Respring the device whenever necessary. Never click on Respring from within Cydia.

OK finally got this running, I guess you just have to keep trying the app until if finally works. I added that repo to cydia, but when I go into it, then All Packages it's just blank, no apps. Any ideas?
[doublepost=1488315636][/doublepost]Weird, anyone else with a Verizon phone have their logo change from "Verizon 3g/LTE" to just "VzW" ??

Also Cydia is VERY buggy, wow. When in the main Cydia page, or when I click on apps and such I still get the title bar and lower navigation bar, but the center screen is just blank. I can click on the blank page and I can tell all the elements, links, etc are there, but they are just not showing up on screen! I did the major upgrade Cydia asked for the first time I ran it so I think it's up to date.

Hmm, old 2012 post from Saurik: "If you have some kind of filesystem access, maybe you can delete /var/root/Library/Caches/com.saurik.Cydia? Absolutely nothing under that folder is required: feel free to nuke it."

Can anyone suggest a file browser? edit: iFile doesn't work, just shuts down right away. Compatibility list shows it as working though.

do those chmod 777 on the page before and see if that fixes anything,
also try to reset network, then rejailbreak, yes it takes a few times, I think after a failure open message app or ?? a few times then try to re jailbreak that seems to jailbreak faster for me or its a fluke.

the repo is for sub straight fix

Thanks, the chmod fixed the Verizon logo. Cydia just fixed itself somehow. Only issue that remains is I can't see installed apps in settings, like eclipse 4. This JB seems VERY buggy though, between these issues and the very frequent random reboots I don't have much confidence in it. To make things worse when I re-jailbreak after reboot it crashes and reboots again at least half the time, so sometimes I may have to reboot 4 or 5 times in a row before I can be JB again.

Also as suspected less and less apps are updated with each successive jailbreak as it dies a slow death.
[doublepost=1488336329][/doublepost]Weird stuff with Activator. When trying to start the app I get an "Activator Disabled" message, saying that Activator is disabled "because Cydia Substrate or RocketBootStrap is not functioning" I wonder what that means. I've deleted and re-jailbroken a few times and no difference.

Make sure you have RocketBootstrap, PreferenceLoader and AppList installed.

No sure I am comfortable risking making my phone buggy. I really hope Luca gets time soon to update beta 3 to a more stable release. As long as it is stable, I will be happy.

Have jailbroken my 2 iPad Pro devices (9.7 and 12.9) to keep me entertained for now.
