Saurik has launched an update for the Cydia Eraser tool on Thursday so that it can now be used to un-jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 if you used the Pangu jailbreak tool.
The timing couldn’t be better, as Apple recently released iOS 9.3.4 and is expected to close the iOS 9.3.3 signing window in the near future.
With Cydia Eraser now in full support of iOS 9.3.3, those who have jailbroken their iOS 9.3.3 devices with Pangu, whether it was with the Chinese Windows jailbreak tool, over the web in the Safari web browser, or with the English Pangu jailbreak tool that utilizes Cydia Impactor, now have a way to remove the jailbreak and put their device back to a stock non-jailbroken installation of iOS 9.3.3.
Saurik officially re-branded Cydia Impactor into “Cydia Eraser” last month just before the English Pangu jailbreak tool was released that used an app called “Cydia Impactor” to sign and install an IPA for jailbreaking your device. When the name change occurred, Saurik only noted only partial support for the dated iOS 9.0. So the added support for iOS 9.3.3 this week is very welcoming without a shadow of a doubt.
Cydia Eraser effectively removes all traces of the jailbreak you currently have and allows you to restore your device to the firmware it’s already on without having to connect to iTunes to “restore and update” your device. The major benefit to using this tool over iTunes is after you use it, your device can be re-jailbroken on the firmware it’s on if you so desire to try again.
This tool is also useful for anyone who has a jailbroken device they’re trying to sell, because it lets the seller sell the device as a “jailbreakable” device, which may add value to it if it gets sold to the right buyer.
