[Tutorial] Never lose your iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak. Ensure the safety of your device with

[...:::SHAMIM:::...]

Okay, so yes.. This information is public but you would not think to look for it (and yes, I wrote it. No copy and paste). This thread is for the Jailbreakers that are new to the Jailbreaking community and are still wondering what to do. What I am going to show you is very important for keeping your jailbreak and avoiding unwanted Boot Loops and faulty tweaks keeping you out of your iDevice potentially forcing you to upgrade to the latest public firmware and losing your jailbreak altogether. So, first thing is first. You are going to want to install OpenSSH onto your iDevice. After you do that follow the instructions below:


Edited Deleted the first set of steps as it was not needed for a lot of people.


I will give 2 sets of instructions here, 1 for mac users and 1 for Windows users.


For Windows users: What you are going to want to download to your computer: putty.org


Now that you have that, follow these simple steps to be able to login to your device from your computer!

1. Navigate to settings then go to the wifi tab
2. Next to your wifi network, you will see a I for more information. Tap that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
3. Look on the line that say's IP Adress
4. This is what you are going to use to login to your iPhone remotely.
5. This is the easy part! Go ahead and open Putty on your desktop.
6. Where it says "Host Name" go ahead and type in your IP Adress. Keep everything else the same and press Open on the bottom right.
7. Where it say's login as type "root" without the quotation marks and press enter.
8. When it asks for your password, the default apple password is "alpine" so type that, we will change that next.
9. Awesome! Now you are remotely logged into your device with Terminal! Now we are going to want to change the password, which is easier than you might think.
10. Type "passwd" into the command line.
11. Follow the instructions it gives you in the Terminal, it might ask you to type the current password, in that case, type alpine. Then it will ask you for your new password then it will ask you to repeat that new password.
12. Awesome! You are done with resetting your password! Now onto the part that could potentially save your device when it is in a Boot Loop and or frozen/unable to open Cydia.

For Mac users:

1. Follow the instructions up to step 4 for Windows users, you will need to obtain your IP address.
2. Open terminal once you have your IP address.
3. In Terminal, type "ssh root@[Insert IP Adress Here]
4. Wait..
5. Wait some more..
6. Accept your new computer as host (If it asks, it it does not ask, that is fine!)
7. Login with the password "alpine" as that is the default password for apple.
8. Type "passwd" then press enter.
9. Run passwd mobile, and repeat the process your done.
10. Type your new password then boom, you are set!
11. Awesome! You are done with resetting your password! Now onto the part that could potentially save your device when it is in a Boot Loop and or frozen/unable to open Cydia.

This goes for both Windows and Mac users. This could potentially save your device if it is frozen, unable to power off/respring/go into safe mode/ect. If you are looking to restore your phone but keep your iPhone on the same firmware download [[cydia eraser]] but this is not a tutorial for wiping your device.



Here are the commands that will save your device:
Remotely respring your iDevice: killall -HUP SpringBoard
Remotely put your device into Safe Mode: killall -SEGV SpringBoard
Remotely reboot your iDevice (Warning, for ios 9.3.3 users, this will unjailbreak until you run the PP application again, like normal) type "reboot"
Power off your device with this command: halt
Also, to go into Safe Mode you could remotely run the safe mode .dat file by pasting: touch /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.saurik.mobilesubstrate.dat killall Springboard into your terminal. Which I think is a little easier.


Also the obvious things like never installing a untrusted source or any untrusted tweaks for that matter. These tweaks could steal your identity or potentially brick your device. Which is never good.


Be careful evereyone, I would not want to see you guys losing your jailbreaks and having to wait what will seem like forever again to rejailbreak.
Please Read this thread is for the new Jailbreakers. This is not for the users who already know what they are doing. Like I said, this information is already public but I wanted to post it onto the /r/Jailbreak section.
Important: PP users have had issues with MobileTerminal for rooting on their mobile device. In stead of using MobileTerminal use MTerminal.
