How to fix common problems with Pangu Jailbreak for iOS 9 – iOS 9.0.2





#1. Failed attempts

Pangu team has given the following suggestions if you’re not able to successful jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch after multiple attempts:

  1.Please switch to the airplane mode, try again.
 2.Please reboot both your IOS devices as well as your computer, and try again.
 3. Please use the restore functionality in Pangu to restore your device, and try again.

As we’ve mentioned in our step-by-step guide, you should also disable passcode, Touch ID and Find my iPhone before using Pangu to jailbreak your device.

#2. Getting Stuck at 45%

If you’re getting the following error: “Error at 45% – Error occurred in preparing the environment, error code (0A)” while trying to jailbreak your device then it is probably because you take encrypted backups of your device using iTunes.
To avoid the error, disable Encrypted iPhone/iPad/iPod touch Backup in iTunes via the Summary tab by unchecking the check box, and take an unencrypted backup of your device. Try to jailbreak your device using Pangu Jailbreak again to see if you can successfully jailbreak it. This solution has resolved the issue for some user. Thanks si709 for the tip!

#3. Problems with OTA Updates

If you’re getting some other problem, and you had upgraded to iOS 9 – iOS 9.0.2 via OTA then restore your device by installing iOS 9.0.2, and try again. OTA updates are known to cause issues with jailbreak tools like Pangu jailbreak.

#4. Can’t find Settings for Jailbreak Tweaks

PreferenceLoader hasn’t been updated to support iOS 9, so you won’t see the Settings for your jailbreak apps and tweaks. Preference Loader is a jailbreak utility that lets any apps or tweaks to have their own section in the Settings app. We expect it to be updated shortly. We’ll let you know as soon as the PreferenceLoader for iOS 9 is released.

#5. /usr/libexc/cydia/cydo error(2) error

The only way to fix the issue is to restore your device and rejailbreak it.

#5. Cydia App not showing up

If you can’t find the Cydia app after jailbreaking your device using Pangu jailbreak then open the Photos app, then run the Pangu app again, and just wait.

#6. Start button in Pangu greyed out

If you’re stuck at “Please connect your device and press Start” and the Start button is greyed out, then install iTunes on your Windows machine, and connect your device at least once, and try again.

#7. Cydia not opening or crashing

If Cydia is not opening or crashing after you’ve installed a few tweaks then it is probably because of a bad tweak. You can use the Volume UP trick to disable Cydia Substrate based tweaks to fix the issue.
If you’re not able to open Cydia or it crashes when you try to open it for the first time after successfully jailbreaking your device, then may need to restore your device to factory settings, and follow the instructions provided in this article to avoid the issue.
  • Cydia not opening or crashing after using Pangu iOS 9 – iOS 9.0.2 Jailbreak? Try this fix
  Some users have reported that they’re not able to launch Cydia after successfully jailbreaking their iOS device using Pangu Jailbreak. Cydia doesn’t open or crashes immediately, making it impossible to install jailbreak tweaks.
If you’ve faced this issue, then follow the steps mentioned below to avoid the issue:
Note: Please note that you need to first reset your device to factory settings, and restore it from iTunes backup with this method, so the process could take some time.
  • If you take an encrypted backup of your device, then disable it, and take a full unencrypted back of your device using iTunes.
  • Put your iOS device in DFU mode.
  • Plug your device into your computer.
  • Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping the slide to power off.
  • Hold the power button for 3 seconds.
  • Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
  • Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.
    • iTunes will inform you that the device is recovery mode. Click on the Restore iPhone… button to restore your device to iOS 9.0.2.
    • During the setup process, set it up as a new iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. Don’t restore your device from a backup at this point.
    • Download the latest version of Pangu.
    • This is an important step. Before launching Cydia, turn off the AirPlane mode, and make sure your iOS device is connected to the Internet.
    • Launch Cydia, and let it load completely. Do not hit the Home button. After Cydia finishes its activities, your device will restart again.
    • You can now connect your device to iTunes, and restore your data from the backup.
    That’s it. You should be able to use Cydia without any crashing issues.

    Cydia crashing issue after installing a tweak

    Some of our readers have pointed out that they’ve faced a problem with Cydia after installing a tweak. If you’re not able to open Cydia after installing the tweak then try the Volume Up trick. Here are the instructions:
    • Press and hold the Power button, till you see the “slide to power off” slider.
    • Swipe on the slide to turn it off.
    • Now press and hold the Volume up button on the left-hand side.
    • Then press the Power button to turn it on.
    This process disables all the Substrate-based tweaks including the problematic tweak, and should allow you to open Cydia. You can now remove the tweak/tweaks you had recently installed to avoid hitting the issue again. After you’ve removed the tweak, don’t forget to reboot your device again, so that you can use the jailbreak tweaks.

#9. Getting stuck at 90%

If you are getting stuck at 90% during the jailbreak process, then try to jailbreak again using Pangu jailbreak, but this time when you’re prompted to open the Pangu app, open the Photos app instead, and then open the Pangu app. Don’t close the Photos app.
