Hello iPhone users, many people experience this issue due to installing Cydia tweaks that are incompatible with their device and/or iOS. Here's the solution for those unfamiliar with Safe Mode, which disables all modifications and springboard tweaks. Here's the solution so you don't have to restore your device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Requirements

Note: You need the OpenSSH tweak to access your device via IP address. You can still log in and install it even in safe mode. You'll also need your device's IP address; if you don't know how to find it, here's a screenshot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Process:

  • Once you have the jailbreak, you will need the Terminal application on Mac and/or the cmd application on Windows (for Windows, use the search bar in Start and type cmd).
  • Then we enter the following commands in the terminal:
ssh root@ here goes your IP
Alpine 
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.saurik.mobilesubstrate.dat 
killall SpringBoard

 

 

 

 

 

Now your device will stop displaying the safe mode message and you will be able to access the springboard without problems!
