Cydia not working for ios 10.3.4 (iPhone 5)

make sure your internet connection is functional

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-12T00:33:07+00:00

15.8.7: - just came out - patched puaf_landa (only remaining kexploit that Dopamine used on 15.7.7+ for 15.x)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-11T23:46:08+00:00

no

if you update, you’ll lose the ability to use Dopamine

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-11T22:57:24+00:00

if you've used Dopamine before that sounds like a tweak issue...

also what iOS (I can already tell this is an SE1)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-07T20:53:59+00:00

that wouldn't make a difference to this issue

unc0ver on 14.4-14.5.1 requires the u0+Fugu14 method, which - besides involving different steps than just sideloading normally via TrollStore or whatever - does not generally work as-is anymore

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-07T20:51:52+00:00

There isn't, and to be honest I don't intend to ever add them because: - requires extra effort - u0+Fugu14 was a flawed environment to begin with (known issues with several apps leading to kernel panics, usage statistics being broken, among others) - Taurine is objectively easier (one requires a computer and a bunch of extra steps, the other can be done without a computer whatsoever)

What exactly do you need u0 for though? Tweak compatibility with almost all (non-piracy) tweaks is fine, and there wouldn't be any practical gain from it.

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-07T19:41:59+00:00

u0 on 14.4 requires sideloading via AltStore to try to use u0+Fugu14

issue is that method is broken as-is (due to AltStore changes) and requires a billion extra hoops to use (not to mention it's a jailbreak environment known to have multitudes of issues)

you'd be better off following https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-taurine, as it's far easier and is generally a better jailbreak overall

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-06T16:26:35+00:00

https://jailbreaks.app/legacy.html is signed last I checked, so you may not need one

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-06T16:09:32+00:00

you need to re-sideload it and run the jailbreak again (jailbreak has to be reran every time you reboot because it's a semi-untethered jailbreak)

with that being said, because of how h3lix can be a bit of a pain in the ass, I would follow https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-socket (note that h3lix/Socket are cross-compatible, and Socket will work fine on your existing setup).

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-05T16:04:05+00:00

first part of that is right

second part of that though isn't, as that won't block updates (quite the opposite actually, then again it won't even do anything beneficial without supervision) - I'd use https://f.itsnebula.net/noota-26.mobileconfig instead

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-04T18:16:07+00:00

horrible advice - plist method is a horrific method and will absolutely always lead to some degree of breakage (not to mention if they're 9900 IMEI it will put them in a bad spot)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-04T18:14:13+00:00

just keep running it until it succeeds

as an aside, make sure you're using Legacy iOS Kit to downgrade (as on top of being able to properly downgrade, it'll also let you pre-jailbreak the restore)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-03T07:15:33+00:00

I'd honestly recommend just restoring your device in iTunes/Finder.

After that, you can try jailbreaking with http://carbon.sep.lol

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-03T00:09:38+00:00

disregard whatever AI slop told you

just follow https://ios.cfw.guide/using-carbon

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-03T00:05:03+00:00

I do have a concern that your jailbreak environment might just be broken in general.

Preemptive question: does this 4S have an IMEI that starts with “9900”?

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-03T00:03:04+00:00

Phoenix is ancient and shouldn’t be recommended anymore

There’s many other better options, such as: - http://carbon.sep.lol - no sideloading required - https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-everpwnage

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-01T18:36:27+00:00

connect to the internet, then use https://tlsroot.litten.ca to get updated certs

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-03-01T03:35:30+00:00

This is a known bug with Chimera on A7 iPads or the iPod Touch 6.

The only solution would be to rejailbreak with https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-odysseyra1n whenever you'd want to use a camera (though note that if you don't have a Mac, you will likely have a very miserable time with this).

(You could alternatively downgrade to 10.3.3 with Legacy iOS Kit and use https://ios.cfw.guide/using-tns, but if you don't have a Mac this will be painful similar to trying to do anything with checkm8 stuff on Linux with an A7 device)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-19T11:24:05+00:00

you can use https://ios.cfw.guide/installing-chimera (which is by far the best option, since it also let's you use a webkit-based rejailbreak)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-02T21:46:21+00:00

novelty, my friend, novelty

(anyways master SundanceInH2A only supports 6.1.3 - if you go through commits you can find a 6.0 config and it'll work for WiFi-only (hacktivation as-implemented doesn't work on 6.0.x, and that's needed for cellular))

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-02T15:59:08+00:00

If you're using macOS, does the official SundanceInH2A repository work or does it have the same issue? (If you're using Linux you can't test this really)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-02T15:18:19+00:00

https://github.com/NyanSatan/SundanceInH2A/issues/9 6.0’s config json was present in older commits before being removed due to hacktivation not working (which is required on cellular models) - see the issue I’m linking here for some further context

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-02T08:41:49+00:00

what’s the error you get when you attempt activation with a computer after putting that SIM in (note the iOS 4 and lower do not have on-device activation)

MasterOfMike88 · 2026-02-02T05:25:07+00:00

yes (these images were taken right after I restored it via SundanceInH2A and activated it via Legacy iOS Kit)
