Here is how to avoid Boot Loop of Death issue in Pangu iOS 9 jailbreak
A way has now been found to get over the mysterious Boot Loop of Death (BLoD) issue in iOS 9 jailbreak. It occurs due to the failure of untether jailbreak. After several attempts, while installing Pangu, the device gets stuck at boot for about 10 minutes, instead of rebooting in seconds.
A Redditor called Leyla232, who is also a victim of this, has posted a tutorial which is helpful to avoid the issue after jailbreaking the device with Pangu. The procedure appears to have worked fine for a few who have tried.
"This works! I recently tried to jailbreak my 6S with no luck (Kept getting a bootloop after force reboot.) I finally restored to my backup and wanted to wait. I just tried to jailbreak without restoring first and it successfully jailbroke. Before it failed at 90% unless I restored. I did what he said and installed Cydia Substrate and let it respring. I then powered it off by sliding to shutdown. After it booted back up I tried to force reboot and no bootloop! Let other people know this! It might be a definite solution! /u/Angelxwind", explained a redditor.
