its my understanding you need to be jailbroken to go one version to another,

so 9.3.3 to 10.1.1, except iOS 10 down to 9 doesn't work period,

and I also read TSS server stopped for apple so Prometheus may be done already, and nobody can do anything aside from business as usual with whats signed as latest version...

but I haven't researched it enough, admittedly, since I think all my devices are staying put version wise (and have to be now too, possibly)

fwiw I'm now 'stuck' on 9.3.3 on iPad Pro and SE, but I guess hardly a single person will bust out even the tiniest of violins for me

I feel your pain, sucks that this jailbreak came out after Apple stopped signing for 10.1.1, and then they cut off our one way to downgrade less than 24 hours after the tool comes out. I don't know why they are so hell bent on stopping us from doing what we want with OUR Phones.

In a way it might be positive in my situation to be stuck and not given a choice; there is no downgrading 10 to 9 even if the servers and tool worked. Not possible

Now I don't have to second guess haha and I don't regret not taking the leap a day or two before a proof of concept released. That would be ballsy to the point of not worth the risk.

Would hate to be burned. Or even waiting with a tsmc SE. Coulda just as easily been Samsung that's an issue and I think that's what mine is.

On 7+ there is no guessing. I want jailbreak and I don't ever wonder what's going on with 10.2. I simply don't care but it would be nice to have a signed firmware jailbroken on paper

Nope, no sympathy from me here.

Harsh:D

Don't give up all hope on a JB for 10.2
https://twitter.com/qwertyoruiopz/status/814820071235260416

Its something but like all jailbreaks, at this time its just hope ;)

In addition he says Suggestion: keep 10.1/10.2 blobs real close on pre7 64 bit.
That suggests possible uses for them

These are all recent comments as of today for those that don't follow his tweets

Try putting it in safe mode if possible and remove that defective hack.

Don't think that's the case yet
Sure iTune upgrades & restores work, that says they have found the means deny prometheus TSS requests.
Patched really says nothing about shutting down servers, his comments were in regards to those that think Apple shut the severs down just because of his tool, they can't do that.

Even though it doesn't do a proper respring process like other JB's, and is a flaw in Yuca JB for now,

G Moran's (eclipse dev)'s CydiaRespringFix is great, to click it instead of running killall -9 SpringBoard

sometimes I still click restart springboard out of habit and get stuck on a black screen, this avoids that!

gmoran.me/repo is the repository, for those who already on the unstable JB

its been a pretty lovely experience on my 7+, just to give an update, so far,

main gripes after a few days:
-injecting takes a few tries (triggers reboots when fails) on a cold boot usually,
-7 day cert side load for now, if you don't reboot you can go as long as you want i think unless you get kicked off the tether (like how 9.3.3 kicks you off tether sometimes, over weeks),
i don't see a stable version addressing this tho, we need an app store app injector, or a jbme, or a 1 year dev account,
-no proper respring, without 'workaround' Terminal command or Moran tweak, you get stuck on a black screen
-included cydia, have to swipe touch left part of account management and stuff to make it work (and track changes, etc), tweak list and repos is just an easy click -- supposed to be fixed with new 64-bit cydia beta
-cell service and iMESsage went kaput, had to run 4 commands and not a problem since (the tweak to fix it did nothing for me, probably because it hung on black screen and didn't complete properly)
-There is a separate process to enable substrate, SubstrateFix, and it doesn't boot with substrate upon tethering the JB with mach_portal (its like a two step tethered jailbreak effectively, since without substrate, you are a lot more limited with what you can do)

it sounds like an awful lot of cons, but I am ok with them/ have come to terms,

I also still await a final-ish, stable build, but more eagerly await what we're going to do about the signing side loading issue of 7-day expiration for non-dev accounts,

this one didn't come with a baked enterprise cert like Pangu (may have been an ent profile exploit specific to ioS9, don't really know/remember)

NO RAGRETS

don't blame ya :D

I'm kinda happy to be stuck on Pro 9.3.3, since tablet got almost no IOS 10 love except 3 split screens, otherwise its an overlay of phone OS on tablet, more so than usual

But SE on 9.3.3, mostly ok too. i can't pair watch but i pair it on 3.1 watchOS with my 7+ 10.1.1

I like the music app on 10 on phone as well, but on iPad seems super short sighted.

unpairing between devices for watch isn't a fun process anyways,


I'm happy all my devices are jailbroken now woo
