Notes:
● A big thanks to Jonathan Levin, Ian Beer and everyone else who had a hand in creating this jailbreak.
● This is a semi-tethered jailbreak. You will need to rerun the LiberiOS app each time you reboot.
● Apps installed onto your device using Cydia Impactor and a normal user account will only run for seven days. You will need to reinstall the app after that. Alternatively, find a friend with a developer account. Apps signed with a developer account should run for one year.

The answer to your question is in the title. When Cydia is ready we may have to redo the process so just wait until Saurek releases his update then LibiOS.

I'd really like to do this but I can't commit to a semi-untethered JB :(

How often do you really reboot your device? It's not a big deal to tap a single button once in a while.

I don't want to worry about this detail when I'm jailbroken. I either use a full JB tool or don't JB. I've never used a semi-untethered before and I don't want to. When my phone reboots I want it to still be Jailbroken. My preference. This is not the ideal JB anyway. The FW stopped being signed awhile ago and I'd rather wait for Cydia and hopefully an untethered JB. There's more of a reason to JB now. Just gotta wait for the full tool.

When I press the jailbreak button on the app, it says "something went wrong." and asks to reboot. I rebooted my phone but to no avail. Plz help.
