Thanks again mate. I'm going to hold tight for now. I don't think I have the time or patience to JB every week.

My understanding is you only need to sideload a new signed-Yalu app to do the JB if you

1) Reboot your phone AND
2) Your Yalu app was self-signed more than 7 days ago

So if it's been 30 days since you loaded a new Yalu on your device and you have not rebooted your JB is still fine.

Sorry. I don't understand. Please explain :oops:

If the Yalu app is older than 7 days it won't jailbreak your phone if you rebooted.

Say you did not reboot for 30 days and remained in a jailbroken state and then things got weird so you decided to reboot your phone... well at this point the Yalu app is stale (it's only golden for 7 days) so therefore you would need to go to PC and re-sign the Yalu app and use Cydia Impakter to 'side-load' it onto your phone. Then Yalu would be golden to jailbreak right then and there and up to 7 days.

Make sense?

It would be helpful if someone wrote an app that tracks the age of the cert signed to Yalu and just before it expires change the Yalu app icon to gray (dead). Would be handy to have the icon color change from green to yellow to orange to red and then gray as the 7 days went by. :)
 
Is there a new version of the Yalu app? The latest version is beta 7 right? How can I check on my iPhone which version I'm on?
 
That's a major pain to have to do that every week.
Jailbreaking has become more cumbersome with these unstable and buggy semiuntethered JB hacks lately.
Im not a fan of them at all.

still b7 . Check the cert in your settings

I almost never restart and never have my phone die due to low battery, and I assume a lot of jailbreakers fall into this scenario as well so it seems the 7 day expiration isn't really an issue.

Do you think Yalu will fix this on the final version and release a complete "untether" version of Yalu??

There's nothing to fix. The JB was intended to run this way. We may get lucky and somebody adds a 1 year cert, like Pangu did on iOS 9.
Untethered JB's are a thing of the past. They are much harder to achieve and pose a higher risk of bootloops.

I doubt it.
That's very optimistic but hope I'm wrong.

I'll have to disagree with the last part.
They are safer, more stable and with way less hassle and hoops to jump through.

Hi mate, thanks for a top reply.

So, just to make sure I've got this correct:

* I jailbreak today. 2 days later I turn off the phone. When I turn it back on it'll still be jailbroken.

* I jailbreak today. 9 days later I turn off the phone. When I turn it back on it'll need re-jailbreaking BUT I will still have stock iOS.

* I jailbreak today and NEVER turn off the phone jailbreak will remain for ever and ever!

And to side-load would I need to do that from a computer? Or direct from the phone?
 
Bother!

But what the heck! I'll wait for BETA 8 and go for it! What's the worst that can happen!!!!!
nobody know when the final release will come or it may not at all. your best solution now is to download immortal and that will save u the hassle of sideload

Just 2 quick questions :

After 7 days, do I need to deleate the yalu app or I just need to resign it on my computer with impactor and thats it?

and if I paid for a developper account, is there a chance the account will be revoked if its signed with cydia impactor?

delete before sideload.

and if I paid for a developper account, is there a chance the account will be revoked if its signed with cydia impactor?do u mean enterprise account?
 
ok you need an enterprise account...

And if I dont reboot my phone until the 7 days expire, is the jailbreak still running or its automatically stop working after 7 days no matter what?
