Jailbreaks/IOS Hacks
How often does this happen to you guys? Seems like its an ios 7 issue. All of my ios 7 devices do it from time to time. Basically, when the phone is booting, the screen will turn weird colors, and then reboot again, and when you go into diagnostics in settings it says "boot failure"
 
That's cause by the pangue jailbreak. The executable for the jailbreak that patches into the kernel crashes and caused the device to reboot.
 
Do you have any launch daemon tweaks installed, such as f.lux, remote messages or AutoBrightness? The ssh launch daemon has NOT caused any problems, thankfully.

I don't get any weird colors but my 5s sometimes gets stuck rebooting and respringing when any of the above 3 tweaks are enabled in launchctl. When it happens, it'll reboot/respring 3, 4, 5 times in a row before it succeeds. It's happened like this since the 7.0 EvasiOn days and continued through 7.1.2 Pangu. It's really annoying especially since I just figured out what causes it about two weeks ago and I sometimes have to resping my device 100 times a day while developing.

I now try to remember to run launchctl unload on those tweaks and disable them any time I need to reboot or respring. I have not had a single issue when they are disabled.
 
Yes, it happens often to me when I reboot

I'm pretty sure it's the PanGu jailbreak since it did not happen with the evasi0n jailbreak but seeing that it only has boot failured only a maximum of 3 times before properly booting up, I didn't worry about it too much

If it were to stay in a constant boot loop, then i would be worried

Oh, that's some interesting information. Where did you get this from?
 
Interesting. As much as i appreciate a 7.1 jailbreak, and i appreciate them not wasting other better exploits, in wish they would have written it better. Oh well :p
 
For those that have decided to restore and rejailbreak using pangu 1.2, does this version of pangu fix the boot failure problems?
