How do I manually enter safe mode to remove a Cydia tweak?

If you haven't installed Cydia's Substrate Safe Mode (which you should definitely do) you may find yourself with a tweak that constantly crashes or puts you in a boot loop. Here is how you can manually enter safe mode:

1. Reboot (unless your phone already is) by holding down the top button until the "Slide to power off" message appears.

enter safe mode manually to remove Cydia packages

2. Slide to power off.

3. Power on by holding down the top button again.

4. As soon as the Apple icon appears, hold down the volume up button. Hold until phone has fully rebooted.

5. At this point you will be in safe mode and you can go to Cydia and remove the offending package. Note: All Cydia packages should be inactive at this point, though we've seen a few that continue to load anyway.

6. The next time you reboot without holding down the volume up button, you will be out of safe mode and your Cydia packages will load.

you are my hero for this. copy10 would not let me do a thing on my phone.

it also installed curl and started downloading questionable files upon boot up. then it disabled SSH and SFTP ports. very suspicious.

couple of hours of pulling my hair out were put to an end thanks to this. thank you!

I have been holding the +Volume button for about 20 minutes. Nothin. iPod touch 4G, iOS 6.1.6

Dylan replied on

Yeah same boat, sometimes the tweak is so bad the mobile substrate isn't enough to recover and I end up having to restore. This happened to me with Ac!d Siri, but not Siriport.ru strangely enough.

A MILLION THANKS FOR THIS!

My iPhone 6 running 8.1.2 was jailbroken with TaiG Jailbreak last January 2015 and I have installed several awesome tweaks. Last Feb 17, 2015 I installed a tweak called "Click2Kill v1.1" from the BigBoss repo but after the respring, all the icons on my my iPhone were in Jiggle Mode!!! and I cant get into Cydia to remove this f$#@&ng tweak!! I started to panic. Lucky for me to have stumbled on this site because this taught me how to manually start Cydia into Safe Mode. The "Power-On-Volume-Up" really saved my iPhone.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You......

Just installed a cydia tweak switch made my iPhone 6 unable to go to the springboard.

I thought I lost my phone and jailbreak. You saved it! Thanks a million!!
