Is there a jailbreak for the IPhone 5S running on iOS 9.3.5? Or do I have to revert to 9.3.3 and jailbreak it that way.

If I go the 9.3.3 way. After I install the older IPSW on my iPhone how do I go about jail breaking it?

Thanks in advance!
 
You can't downgrade and there is no JB for 9.3.5.

I seen online Apple stopped making it where you couldn't revert back. Well that sucks.

My phone can be updated to iOS 10.1.1 too. Do they have a jailbreak for that yet? Or is there an iOS 9 update higher than mine I can download to jailbreak the phone?

If you are on 9.3.5 right now, you can not jailbreak, no matter what you do. Your only option would be to get another device with 9.3.3 or lower.
 
Thanks you guys. I was mostly wanting the Jailbreak to get Spotify Premium or at least make it seem like a tablet version.

Is there anyway of doing that without a jailbreak?
 
Nope, you are out of luck for the moment.
Maybe we will see a new JB for ios 10 soon.

Thanks Man. I mostly wanted the jailbreak for right now to get Spotify premium or at least a tablet version on my iPhone. Is there a way to do that with a jailbreak until one comes out?
 
No, there's no way to do it on stock ios.

Thanks Applejuiced! One last question. Should I go ahead and update to iOS 10.1.1 or should I stay with iOS 9.3.5 and hopefully pangu or someone will come out with a jailbreak, at least tethered?

I would update, from what we're hearing the next JB would possibly be for ios 10.2
But you never know if they will release something for the older ios 9 either. But I doubt it.

Alright man. Update it is. Thanks a lot for your help. I switched from Android and I'm used to rooting and Xposed Installer lol. It's going to take me a little while to figure out how to find the jailbreaks. Once I jailbreak I can find my way around. Last time I jail broke was an iPod 4 on iOS 4.2.1 with greenposi0n lol.

I hear you, Im really looking forward to it too.
Once the next JB its out you will find lots of info here and you are free to ask and we will do our best to help you out.

Thanks again man. I really appreciate it. I have it updated but it sure is a change. I don't like the fact that you press the home button to unlock and the new features of messenger and the lock screen. But I guess I'll have to get used to it.
Thanks again!
 
I don't like the fact that you press the home button to unlock…
Apple finally caught up to me.

I've been assigning an Activator action to use the home button to unlock since iOS 5.

But I came to the iPhone from an HTC Touch Pro which uses the home button to unlock. So this whole 'Slide to Unlock" stuff drove me batty.

Oh wow. I guess it's because my android was a Sharp Aquos Crystal and you had to slide to unlock it as well. I guess I'm just used to it.

There's not an option in settings to switch back to slide to unlock?
