[Feature Request] Reset Settings Warning
Prior to the new version, I thought hitting reset would only reset your settings and that the reboot functionality wasn't working. However, after using the latest version today, I hit reset settings and it immediately rebooted my device, but I was met with the setup screen similar to a first install. Is this intended behavior? All I did was use the bypass app limit function within SparseBox and didn't mess with any other of the options, so I'm surprised this required me to reboot my device. Would've been nice to know before hand too so I could have backed up my notes to iCloud and photos.
Could you possibly add a note for future users that tapping on Reset Settings will reset your device to a setup screen? Would probably help out future users too in case they also don't back up their photos to iCloud or other data and lose everything too. Not sure why it didn't let me just continue without restoring, or maybe I missed out on a hidden option, or perhaps it was due to having to shut down my device because it was stuck on signing into iCloud.
Reset button doesn’t factory reset your device, it only puts your device to hello screen temporarily and it goes away as you swipe up. If you see iPhone Partially Set Up screen, do not tap Erase.
Yea I saw someone else mention that too as I was looking for answers, but I never saw the iPhone Partially Set Up screen at all. After the reboot, it showed me the hello screen as you said. I swiped up, but it took me to the setup where you choose a language and country, etc immediately. The only thing I remember is at some point it asked me if I want to start fresh or restore from an iCloud backup. At this point, I assumed everything was already lost so I thought I have no choice but to restore from iTunes or lose everything.
Did you see the restore progress bar after rebooting?
Not that I remember. I launched the latest (2440c4f) Sparse Box from LiveContainer and hit Reset Settings and it rebooted my device. Next thing I remember is the hello screen, selecting English -> United States -> Choosing my WiFi (it remembered my password) -> Privacy/Data Collection at some point -> iCloud Login -> Then it was that screen asking if I wanted to start fresh or restore my icloud backup and not the "iPhone Partially Set Up" with the blue button on the bottom saying to "Erase and Start Over".
Live and learn I suppose. I should have dug deeper and not followed through at all. I just saw on YouTube there are videos of people bypassing the Hello screen. I shouldn't have assumed all my data was already gone at that point. By the way, I'm not blaming you at all for this - I just think a warning would be nice in the future for other folks or a prompt maybe explaining the process.
I’m guessing you skipped setup entirely with Cowabunga before, and now when it restores a partial backup (without skip setup files) it regenerates the setup plists causing this.
It wasn’t the case before cause it was exploiting crash_on_purpose to apply backup immediately and didn’t reset the setup plists. As I’m moving to the new exploit used in Nugget to support a few more versions, I had to remove crash_on_purpose hack. I was in a slow process of adding skip setup plists to skip hello screen (quite my fault as I thought the worst case scenario was only the pairing file would be expired)

I have iOS 17.0.3 on an iPhone 15 so I'm not even sure how I could have ran that as I thought Cowabunga was for older devices.

Well if the forced reset was an issue caused by the latest SparseBox then so be it - it is what it is. I guess that's what nightly version testing is for. Happened to someone else on the SideStore Discord but at least it's not wide-spread causing everyone to lose data.
By the way, when using SparseBox only for the bypass app limit feature, can we just reboot our device to undo it, or are we required to use reset settings to undo the bypass app limit?
Actually, reset settings has nothing to do with bypass app limit: it only resets MobileGestalt. I don’t really know what to do to undo bypass app limit yet.
That's good to know so that I'll refrain from resetting the settings in the future since I only use SparseBox for the SideStore App Limit Bypass. Though now I wish I had asked sooner so I never reset... Thank you for letting me know!

Wondering if versions prior to ios18.2 b2 support bypassing the 3 apps loaded limit, I've searched a lot of places that don't explicitly state that, except to see that the vulnerability wasn't fully patched after iOS18.1 b4. It wasn't fully blocked until 18.2 b2
