Current JB has preventative mechanism to stay alive.
However, you can still kill it for good if you do two firmware updates in a row, or two factory resets in a row, or any combination of these two. If by the end of these two operations you end up on 5.16.3 and above, game’s over (hntil next JB method releases) |

The file you are looking for is called fixup. It lives in /var/local/system/ after JB

The essential effect of the jailbreak process is to get a community developer key into /etc/uks, which can only be done by exploiting some vulnerability. Over time, functionality was added to squirrel away the ability to restore the developer key during a restart (reboot) after a firmware update or a reset. If an update is followed by a reset without a restart, or vice versa, bye bye jailbreak. The developer key is needed because only packages signed by a key in /etc/uks can be installed. Of course, once USBnetworking or a terminal emulator is installed, / can be mounted rw long enough to put anything you want anywhere you want. |
