iOS 7 Jailbreakers: Update Substrate Safe Mode
Submitted by Bob Bhatnagar on
Jailbroken iPhones are protected by Substrate Safe Mode, which can prevent time consuming iOS restores when a tweak or app causes problems. Sometimes when a problem occurs, the device is automatically put into safe mode. This can give the iOS user time to uninstall the offending package with Cydia.
Other times, safe mode must be entered manually. If the iPhone reboots constantly or suffers other issues safe mode can be entered by holding the up volume button while booting. Substrate Safe Mode has been around for a couple of years, but with the recent updates to iOS 7 and the move to 64-bit hardware in the iPhone 5s, the package was ready for a refresh.
