Ultimate Guide to Jailbreaking iOS 9.3.5 & 9.3.6 with Phoenix Jailbreak
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for jailbreaking iOS 9.3.5 and 9.3.6 using the Phoenix Jailbreak tool.
Phoenix is a semi-untethered jailbreak, meaning you'll need to re-enable it after each reboot.
📌 Before You Begin

💻 Method 2: Jailbreak Using Sideloadly (PC/Mac Required)
If the direct install fails, use Sideloadly for sideloading.
Step 1: Install IPA Using Sideloadly
- Visit: https://phoenixpwn.com
- Tap "Download" and install the Phoenix IPA.
- Download Sideloadly from https://sideloadly.io/ (Windows/Mac).

- Drag & drop your phoenix IPA file on the sideloadly app screen.
- Click "Start"
- Enter your Apple ID password when prompted.
Step 2: Trust & Run Phoenix
- Go to Settings → General → Profiles & Device Management → Trust Phoenix.
- Open Phoenix and follow the jailbreak steps (same as Method 1).
⚙️ Post-Jailbreak Setup
1. Install Essential Tweaks (via Cydia)
- Open Cydia → Wait for sources to load.
- Recommended packages:
- Filza File Manager (for file browsing)
- AppSync Unified (for installing unsigned IPAs)
- iCleaner Pro (for cleaning junk files)
2. Fix Cydia Errors (If Any)
- If Cydia crashes, re-run Phoenix and try again.
- If sources fail, refresh them in Cydia.
3. Re-jailbreak After Reboots
- Since Phoenix is semi-untethered, you must reopen the app and tap "Kickstart Jailbreak" after each reboot.
❌ Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Phoenix app crashes | Reinstall via AltStore or another signing service |
| Stuck on "Exploiting" | Force restart (Hold Home + Power), retry |
| Cydia not opening | Re-jailbreak with Phoenix, wait for files to load |
| "Storage Almost Full" error | Use iCleaner Pro to clear cache |
🔒 Safety & Legal Disclaimer
