Troubleshooting
Connect your iOS device to iTunes and try restoring the device or installing available updates if jailbreaking fails to complete. This can help resolve problems associated with conflicts between jailbreak software and over-the-air firmware updates.
Perform a hard reset on your iOS device if it stops working shortly after jailbreaking. This will restore your device to the original factory settings and help correct software problems.
Reboot your iOS device and computer if you encounter any errors during jailbreaking. This helps reset both devices to ensure jailbreaking completes successfully.
Launch iTunes and install available updates if Pangu or Evasi0n fail to detect your iOS device. Outdated versions of iTunes may be incompatible with some versions of jailbreaking software.
Download an app called CrashReporter from Cydia to detect and identify any ongoing problems that may be associated with the jailbreak. CrashReporter will provide you with suggestions and resolutions on how to correct software problems caused on behalf of jailbreaking.
Use a different USB cable and USB port if neither your computer or jailbreak software recognizes your iOS device. This can help rule out problems with faulty hardware, including those associated with your iOS device.
