i have been lucky enough to to get a new 6 plus from my insurance after losing my old one. Lucky because it is running iOS 8.4!! What is the best way to go about jail breaking? Can I install 9.0.1? Or it not being signed anymore or does that only affect downgrades?!
Got a tip for us?

The only OS you can install right now is 9.2.1. If you want to jailbreak, you need to stay on 8.4.
Explain

On a separate note... 8.4 is sooooo much better than iOS 9!! A lot smoother, no lags or stutters!
If you have a device jailbroken on 8.4, then if anything goes wrong as far as software goes, you can use Cydia Impactor to restore to a pristine state, re-jailbreak, and start from scratch. In this case, "JB for life" is the life of the physical device. As long as my 5S keeps ticking, I will have a jailbroken 8.4 no matter how badly I might mess things up in the software
how did i not know of this. i have been wanting to do a clean wipe for a while!!!! found my new project
