Key developers (tihmstar, Siguza, Luca Todesco) have publicly stated that they have no interest in developing an untether for 9.3.6. The effort required to weaponize a new iBoot bug or bootrom exploit for a 32-bit device is immense, and there are no financial incentives (bug bounties for old firmware are zero).
The reality is that .
For the average user, this string of numbers and terms might look like gibberish. But for enthusiasts holding onto an iPhone 4s, iPad 2, or iPad 3, it represents the final frontier of legacy device customization. iOS 9.3.6 was never a flagship release; it was a quiet, critical update released in July 2019, long after iOS 11, 12, and 13 had taken over the world.
Let us explain why. The only functional jailbreak for iOS 9.3.6 is Phoenix , released by the Corellium Team (Siguza, tihmstar, etc.). Phoenix is a semi-untethered jailbreak. You install the Phoenix IPA via Cydia Impactor (now AltStore or Sideloadly). When you reboot, you lose the jailbreak. You must open the Phoenix app and press "Kickstart." 2. The Missing KPP Bypass On 64-bit devices, Apple introduced KPP (Kernel Patch Protection). iOS 9 on 32-bit devices does not have KPP, but it does have KASLR (Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization). While 32-bit devices are easier to exploit, untethered requires a bootrom-level exploit or a persistent kernel code injection that survives a reboot. ios 9.3 6 jailbreak untethered
What does exist is a rock-solid, semi-untethered jailbreak via Phoenix, which, combined with ReProvision Reborn, gives you 99% of the usability of an untethered jailbreak with 100% more safety.
If you want a truly untethered legacy experience on your iPhone 4s or iPad 2, do not stay on iOS 9.3.6. Instead, use the tweak from the Phoenix jailbreak to dual-boot iOS 6.1.3 —the last truly great, untethered, 32-bit operating system. Have you found a workaround
