I tried the tool on iPhone6 iOS 9.1. I followed the installation guide copied it to the device and installed. New menu appeared in the device's settings and I rebooted iPhone. Now the phone DOES NOT BOOT it just stuck displaying Apple logo.

Why didn't you mention in the readme that this tool CAN BRICK the device ? Do you have any suggestion how to recover the device ?

Unfortunately, like any tweak there is a small chance that it will crash some kind of system process and put the device in a boot loop. Have you tried the Substrate safe mode?

THANK YOU very much... holding down the volume up key allowed me to continue the boot process so I was able to uninstall SSLKillSwitch. Thanks !
