Several users are complaining about black screen issues after changing their iPhone’s resolution. Here’s a quick fix to this annoying problem.


Changing the resolution of your iPhone is risky business. The IPA file of async_wake resolution changer is hit and miss and can cause issues even if you do everything correctly. The reason behind this is that the exploit and, in turn, the IPA file is inherently flawed. Unfortunately, this led to a lot of users losing their jailbreaks. If you are suffering from the same issue, you can try any of the following methods.

Method 2 - Reset iPhone settings


Although your device doesn’t display anything, you can still use all functions like you do normally. In this method, we will use Siri and VoiceOver to navigate through our device.

  • Long press the Home button to activate Siri.

  • Tell Siri to turn on VoiceOver. It will read out everything loudly so you will get an idea of where you are even without a display.

  • Once Siri does that, go to Settings > General > Erase All Content and Settings.

  • Tell it to just reset the Settings.

Or you could simply restore your iDevice on 3uTools without saving data.


Method 3 - Perform an iCloud wipe


We recommend using this method only as a last resort. If you decide to go with this option, all data will be wiped off of your device.

  • Go to iCloud.com.

  • Go to Find My iPhone app.

  • Locate your device.

  • Click on Erase iPhone.
