Pangu hackers have endeavored to bundling things as much as possible doing that this Jailbreak of iOS 9.3.3 is a real mess and users do not know why suddenly your Jailbreak fails, how to fix it and what’s that renew the certificate to be able to Jailbreak. Let’s go step by step, explaining what is this of the certificates, why some have to renew them and others not, so finally you enteréis of what this Jailbreak fudge that we have left our friends of Pangu, and if you still want to use it, who know how to avoid problems.
What are certificates
The certificates are necessary for to sign applications and thus install them in our iPhone or iPad. These certificates are issued directly by Apple, and not it can (in theory) falsified, so there is no other way to get them. There are three kinds of certificates:
- Free: this novelty was introduced by Apple not long ago so any user with an Apple ID can install applications to your device, without needing an account of developer, and therefore, without having to pay. Certificates we can get with these free accounts have a shelf-life of 7 days, after which the application that we have installed will not operate, it will have to generate another certificate and then reinstall the application on our device.
- Individual developer: is the “normal” developer account, it is priced at $99 per year and certificates that we get with it last year. After that time takes place as in the previous case: have to renew the certificate and reinstall the application that we have signed with it.
- Enterprise Developer: is the one who used the large development companies, it has a price of $299 per year, and as well as the individual, their certificates last a year, after which it will have to renew them.
Certificates and Jailbreak
What have to see these certificates with make Jailbreak to our devices? Because the procedure involves the installation of an application on our iPhone,and so must sign it before. This is where comes in the certificate, and depending on the type of certificate used, that application will cease to operate at 7 days or a year of having it installed. Taking into account that whenever re initiate “lose” the Jailbreak and you will have to use the application to regain it, is necessary for this application to work, by expires once the certificate there is to renovate and reinstall the application. Hence the importance of which certificate to use.
Two methods, two certificates.
We now have two methods of jailbreak: the original, in Chinese and only for Windows, which install us the “PP” app on our iPhone or iPad, and which uses a business certificate that lasts for one year. Then came another method which is translated into English, also available for Windows, Mac and Linux, using Cydia Impactor, and using the account that you specify to generate the certificate.
With the Chinese version, using a business certificate, make sure that the PP application that is installed will last a whole year, what we cannot forget having to renew anything. Only be taken into account to be Semitethered, when we reboot you’ll have to re-run the application PP to make Cydia work properly again. Although Apple revoke this certificate of company, it would not affect those who already have PP application on his iPhone, which will last a year, whatever it is. In fact already repealed the previous certificate, which was used in version 1.1, and Pangu has released version 1.2 with a new certificate.
The English version Pangu used our Apple account. If we are developers there will be no problem, because using our developer account can general a certificate that lasts a year, but if you use an account that is not within the program’s developers, every 7 days will have to repeat the procedure of signing the application, install it on our iPhone and rerun to run Cydia.
Which method to use?
Both methods are semitethered, i.e., that with each restart will be used (PP or Pangu) application to run Cydia again. So what we want is that that application (PP or Pangu) lasts as long as possible, so it the answer is clear: it is recommended to use the original method, although it is in Chinese, and only for Windows. You have the full tutorial in this article with video included. Even in the case that you are developers, and therefore you can create a certificate valid for one year, you daríais these data to Pangu? My advice is that no… but each acting under their responsibility.
