I know.
I been seeing it for years.
Some keep updating "accidentally" repeatedly and blame iTunes.
At least now you know for next time.
Hope we get a good untethered jb for iOS 10.
Lol
We'll have more jb's sooner or later. And a jb iOS 10 will be sweet.
Looking forward to it.
I've been jailbreaking for years and even I made that same mistake. Maybe someone that has to do a lot of restores will remember this but someone that JB and doesn't run many tweaks and have a stable JB won't remember.
I been jb since the original iPhone and iOS 2.0
I never accidentally made that mistake.
But usually once you do it once and you get stuck you tend to learn a lesson and remember not to do it next time.
At least I would like to hope so.
Erase All Content and Settings typically sends a JB device into a boot loop forcing a restore thus losing the untethered JB.
The jb itself overwrites, copies and moves many stock settings and filesystem items in various directories.
When you trigger the erase all option on the phone the process cannot complete correctly and causes many irreparable issues that can only be fixed with an iTunes restore.
In many previous iOS versions and jailbreaks it sends the device in an infinite boot loop.
The device tries to boot and gets stuck at the Apple logo and eventually restarts and gets stuck again to no end.
With this jb it doesn't seem as severe since it's semi untethered. So it will allow you to still boot it just messes up the jailbreak complete so the jb will not function any more without a full restore and rejailbreak.
Looks like No PLS RECOVERY prevents iTunes from restoring (only if not in DFU mode), while ResetAllKiller disables the reset settings as shown above.
Hmm now I'm tossed up. Cause Karen is pretty good about updating for her tweaks. Suppose getting rid of it all is worth it.
NO PLS RECOVER removes the buttons altogether I think. So greying them out seems redundant is all.

Are you sure? I have NO PLS RECOVER and still have the reset buttons
I don't know. I'm still coughing up a storm
so I'm not sleeping well lately. I could be mixed up for all I know.

You still sick? You have it over a week now! I take it that you have been to see your doctor?
Yeah, it's been a week. It's asthmatic bronchitis. There was a big brush fire near by and if you had allergies, you caught it. Feeling way better today though. I hate getting sick lol.
