iPhone Pangu's iOS 9.0.x untether and the "Boot Loop of Death" (BLoD)

Seems like phantom for snapchat is what caused it for me

I have phantom installed and it appears that it was "VideoPane" that was causing the BLoD for me. I believe it might be best practice instead of just a respring as some apps require when installing, it would best to reboot the device instead this will force a full os load and see if there are any issues as I installed VideoPane (Which Cydia states is support for iOS 9) probably a week and a half ago as well as a few each day since then. But when I installed a tweak that actually required me to reboot my device (This evening) instead of perfroming a respring, I ran into the BLoD. So I started with my most recent and started removing tweak by tweak in Safe Mode, soft resetting my device until my phone came back up (f.lux made it a lot easier to see if it was going to work or not; as soon as I saw the Apple logo change color I felt a sigh of relief since I did not have to restore my device) but it ended up being VideoPane for me.
 
I just recently got the "BLOD" and all of the above solutions didn't work except for restoring, power + home + volume also didn't work...
 
my wifes iPhone and my iPad just started to do it. I took her iPhone yesterday to the apple store and got it switched out but my iPad today is doing it and i don't feel like going back (my iPhone still works fine). this is getting a little frustrating since the phone was already jailbroken and things were working fine and out of no where this happens. I only had a few tweaks installed like flex, icleaner, ifile, protube opener, maps opener
 
any suggestions? i tried holding power + volume up + home which causes it to restart and then i tried just the volume up after pressing home and power and thats not doing anything. thanks guys.
 
Yeah gotta say this Jailbreak is a bit of a stinker. iPhone 6+ jailbroke fine and has been working well, but my iPod Touch 5 jailbreak had so many problems (cydia crashing->lacking system files->error 53->finally BLOD) that I ended up having to restore...and no the volume up didn't bring me out! Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
 
I still believe the culprit here is iCleaner/Pro. It seems to be the common denominator. I don't think it's the jailbreak.

OTOH, I jailbroke clean so that may have something to do with it. I could not do it from my iPhone as it was so I had to backup, restore as new, jailbreak and then I restored from my backup. I would bet that some (if not most) of these issues stem from people who just jailbroke directly. Why, I don't know. Just speculation.

I know for me that wierd stuff started happening after using iCleaner Pro a few times. I value my jailbreak over what iCleaner can do so I tossed it.

I haven't had any problems yet, but only use iCleaner Pro to disable mobile substrate. I haven't used any of its file cleaning or daemon disabling features, and probably won't after hearing it may be a culprit in BLOD's

I've also noticed that for the last week, 1 in 2 days that my device reboots in the middle of the night. (phone displays the passcode needs to be entered after restart message at the lock screen)

Might be related to the 1.2 pangu untether update, i'm not sure

Yeah, things were ok for me until I did my first clean. I've had no restarts, either with iCleaner installed or uninstalled, but after that first clean things started acting funny. I don't want to get to a point where 'acting funny' becomes I cannot even enter Safe Mode.

Now, when I reinstall it to do something very specific (and then uninstall afterwards) the phone won't boot even though I have left my disabled launch daemons back the way I had them originally.

Something is defintetly up with this tweak somewhere.
 
I jailbroke my 6s today on 9.0.2 and did absolutely nothing to it but signed into icloud and download a few apps from the app store.

Restarted the phone and its stuck on the apple logo. Looks like im out of luck, going to have to restore?
