• Stuck at 45%

• OTA on iOS 9 Error

If you are on iOS 9 and have updated using the OTA method, the jailbreak will not work. You must update manually.

• Cannot Find Preferences for Tweaks

There is no support for PreferenceLoader in iOS 9, so you won’t see the jailbreak tweaks preferences in your Settings app. This may change in the future.

• /usr/libexc/Cydia/cydo error (2)
  

If you see this error, iOS 9 needs to be reinstalled using an iTunes method.

• Cannot Find Cydia

If you jailbreak, but the Cydia app is not there, open Photos on your device and run Pangu again; wait, and you should see Cydia appear.

• Pangu 9 Start Button is Greyed Out
