[Question] Locked myself out of Settings.app with HidemeX

Question

Edit: [Solved] Thank you!

I installed HidemeX to hide all of the apps on the springboard that I don't want my toddler to access, which included Settings.app. I didn't realize that these apps would also be hidden from spotlight, and so I have no way to access the settings, cydia, etc.

Is there a way to disable this tweak before kickstarting the semi-tethered jailbreak? (Phoenix iOS 9.3.5) I feel like I dug myself into a hole I can't climb out of. Will I have to just reset all the iPad settings?

Can you access Safari?

Type cydia:// into safari to go to Cydia

Did you try holding the volume up key while jailbreaking?

While jailbreaking? While Phoenix kickstarts or once the apple logo appears afterward? I just tried both, but no luck. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

While Phoenix runs and until you are fully jailbroken.

Try rebooting, rejailbreak with tweaks off, remove setting, rinse wash repeat

When you mean rejailbreak, do you mean launch Phoenix, or do you mean using Cydia impactor to reinstall the Phoenix ipa? Sorry, I only started jailbreaking this device yesterday.

I just noticed you are on iOS 9. In that case, boot into safe mode and delete the offending tweak

Thanks, I'll remember this method for future reference. I managed to fix it by accessing cydia through safari.
