Step Eight
Cydia Impactor will now display a warning to developers that using the app will revoke and replace any existing Apple Developer certificate associated with your account, which may (or may not: I honestly don't know much about official Apple development work) have some complicated effect on your workflow if you are an Apple Developer.

Click OK

When asked to allow push notifications, click OK.

Then press the Start button. Make sure to leave the Use embedded certificate effective until April 2017 box checked. If you uncheck the box and you are not a developer, the signed IPA is only valid for seven days. If you are a developer signing the IPA with your own developer certification will allow it to run for one year.

Step Twelve
Manually lock your screen and then wait for 6 seconds. You will receive a push notification that says your device has been jailbroken successfully.

IMPORTANT:
This jailbreak requires that you re-execute the jailbreak after each reboot. Do not delete the Pangu app off your device. You will need to re-open it and tap the circle after every restart.

***A big thanks goes out to the Pangu Team and all the others who had a hand in creating this jailbreak.

Please help... I woke up to my iPhone 5s unjailbroken. I normally go on pangu and do the process again but for some reason today pangu isn't staying open and keeps crashing. I'm suspecting it's a 'trust' issue but in my settings, 'Device Management' has disappeared so I can't go on and click 'Trust'... Any ideas on how to solve please? Thank you

Can I use my Apple ID for this jailbreak forever by installing every week after April 2017? Any other limitations?

Finally got this working after the server was having maintenance downtime earlier today. Unfortunately this didn't fix my issue. The English app this installs is the same as the Chinese app, and both have the same problem for me: The respring the app initiates after you lock crashes my 6s into a reboot every single time, 100%. Also brings the battery down a whole 20% sometimes so by the time the kernel is rebooted, the device's heat levels are phenomenal. Not sure what's going on. It used to be a sometimes thing, now it's an unescapable every time thing. I have friends who had to retry 25 times-- I've been trying repeatedly all weekend, an embarrassing number of times. Then suddenly today, all of my phone's App Store apps were gone when it booted back up, and don't seem like they'll be returning. This is a big issue, would love to know if anyone else is having it.

If you're restoring your phone each time, you're carrying over all your bs jailbroken app settings that will mess up your newer iOS operating system settings. Dont restore your phone with your computer and only let iCloud pull down your data, but even that will have your old jailbreak settings. Entirely start from scratch only letting icloud sync your contacts then wipe all the rest of icloud and start over from scratch. then all should work perfect.

Tried this on my mac using OS El Capitan. Dragged the NvwaStone to Cydia Impactor, entered my developer id and p/w. The results were Error provision.cpp:62 _assert(response.head["content-type"] == "text/x-xml-plist") Tried rebooting everything, same results. Any assistance is appreciated

When I press the start button on the Pangu app and then lock the screen, it goes black and restrings, but no cydia app appears and no jailbreak has taken place. Any thoughts?

Never mind, I re-did every step again and it worked.

FWIW, my Apple ID is connected with a developer account, and it asked me for an app-specific password to be used which I created in my account, and then after that it did not require me to trust the certificate
