How to remove MYbloXX entirely

This guide is for non-jailbroken phones. If you're jailbroken, remove MYbloXX from your package manager before restoring rootFS/unjailbreaking.

Table of contents

Proxy auto-configuration (PAC)

MYbloXX uses a PAC located here, which persists after rootFS and even a full restore because proxy configuration is stored in /var.

To remove this configuration, either don't restore from a backup or edit the backup to remove these files with iBackupBot or another backup editor:

  • /var/Managed Preferences/mobile/com.apple.SystemConfiguration.plist
    (System Files -> ManagedPreferencesDomain/mobile/com.apple.SystemConfiguration.plist in iBackupBot)

Then restore the edited backup instead.

Supervision

MYbloXX puts you in supervised mode. If you find that you're seeing a message saying your device is supervised in the Settings app, or just want to check, do:

  • Open your backup in iBackupBot
  • Locate /var/containers/Shared/SystemGroup/systemgroup.com.apple.configurationprofiles/Library/ConfigurationProfiles/CloudConfigurationDetails.plist
    (System Files -> SysSharedContainerDomain-systemgroup.com.apple.configurationprofiles/Library/ConfigurationProfiles/CloudConfigurationDetails.plist)
  • Right click and open file with iBackupBot's built-in editor, and change the IsSupervised key from true to false:
        <key>IsSupervised</key>
	<false/>
  • Restore the edited backup.

Leftover preferences files

While these shouldn't affect anything, if you want to clean off tweak preferences entirely (to avoid jailbreak detection etc.), then these are MYbloXX files:

  • /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/net.myxxdev.*.plist
    (System Files -> HomeDomain/Library/Preferences/net.myxxdev.*.plist)
  • /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.p2kdev.safariblocker.plist
    (System Files -> HomeDomain/Library/Preferences/com.p2kdev.safariblocker.plist)

* can be either mybloxx, speedyads or some other tweaks.
