5. Is the jailbreak semi-tethered? What does it mean?

The Yalu jailbreak is semi-tethered, just like the iOS 9 Pangu jailbreak. This means that when you reboot your jailbroken iOS 10 device, the jailbreak will be disabled but Cydia and all installed tweaks will remain on your device, but will not work. To re-jailbreak and use tweaks again, you will have to use the Yalu jailbreak app on your device.

You can get the detailed answer in this tutorial: How to jailbreak iOS 10.0 - 10.2 using 3uTools?

7. Can I downgrade or upgrade to iOS 10.2?

The signing window for iOS 10.2 has been closed, which means that you can no longer downgrade or upgrade to iOS 10.2 using iTunes. However, if you had already saved the SHSH blobs for this firmware, you can use Prometheus to downgrade.

8. Will the jailbreak expire?

If you install the jailbreak app with a non-developer Apple ID, it will work for 7 days before expiring. After it expires, you can use 3uTools to install the jailbreak app again.

9. What happens after the jailbreak certificate expires?

After the certificate expires, all installed tweaks, Cydia and jailbreak will remain on your device. Only the jailbreak app will stop working, which is required for re-jailbreaking your device after it reboots. If you want to renew the certificate, you will have to use Cydia Impactor on your computer to install the jailbreak app onto your device again.

10.How can I remove the Yalu jailbreak without restoring?

To remove the iOS 10 jailbreak without restoring, you will have to erase your device using iCloud.
