I assumed removing jb entirely would help to properly install extra_recipe, because I've already tried removing and installing extra_recipe with the cydia I had installed with macportal. I installed kenobi and removed all other substrate tweaks, and when I run extra_recipe I'm able to have it load up then reboot the phone but cydia wont open it just closes out instantly..meaning it's not even jail breaking. I don't get what I'm doing wrong I always follow directions correctly and have tons of jb experience.
"So I'm trying to remove jailbreak/cydia on my iPhone running 10.1.1 jb from mach_portal beta 3. I used osrestorex to remove jailbreak and then I erased all content and settings through Settings>General>Reset"
is what you said in your original post.
I don't know why you were trying to remove cydia on your iPhone from mach_portla b3 in the first place. mach_portal installs Cydia, and extra_recipe is to have a more stable jb as a simple rip and replace from mach_portal.
In other words, you don't uninstall cydia, u just delete mach_portal and side load extra_recipe. delete as in let the icon wiggle and hit the upper left hand corner X like any iOS app. Nothing crazy.
I don't know why you did OSRestoreX or Erase all Content and Settings
I would just try mach_portal process again, then delete it, and side load extra_recipe. Thats probably your best bet.
if that doesn't work, check out r/jailbreak

You confessed that you 'assumed' -- clearly you either didn't follow directions correctly, or you followed a bad guide.
its ok but lets just call it what it is,
