Just wondering if there has been any workarounds created for Touch ID causing boot loop.
I have pangu 1.0.2 and latest substrate installed.

so if i disable it when i need to reboot can i enable it again once its booted up? i dont recall the last time i rebooted my iphone anyway
I keep using the Touch ID on my 6+ with 8.1 JB (with Cydia and substrate), no issue at all. The only time I get into boot loop is when I upgrade the JB to version 0.2. I upgrade it without disable Touch ID.
However, it's easy to fix, just hold the volume up button during boot, and the iPhone will boot normally and finish the upgrade. Then go to setting disable Touch ID, restart, and re-enable the Touch ID again.
So far, I restart my 6+ quite a few times already with the Touch ID still on. No issue at all.
I don't know why. May be this boot loop is not affecting everyone, I am just lucky. Or may be because I install Cydia via "兔兔助手" (A Chinese Windows application), but not the normal SSH method.

Yes, I guess they did exactly the same thing as manually install Cydia by SSH. However, there is always a possibility that it cause the difference.
Anyway, this is the video capture from my 6+ to show that the Touch ID works well with 8.1 JB.

So now I am confused. Was just getting ready to do the jump. We are not supposed to move the move.sh file?
Having TouchID/passcode enabled when rebooting will cause boot loop no matter what. It cannot be fixed with volume up on boot and you must restore after.
Cydia has been updated to fix this: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20255364#post20255364
