Endless prompts to respring / failed to communicate with server or daemon

Try the following according to your environment.

If installed via Sileo​

Try these one by one:

Attempt 1​

Tap Cancel, then choose a script.

Attempt 2​

Reinstall (no need to uninstall first) the latest XXTouch from Sileo and ensure there are no errors. Reboot the device (you may need to re-activate the jailbreak).

Attempt 3​

  1. Install OpenSSH via Sileo and ensure no errors (skip if already installed).
  2. In Sileo, choose to uninstall Substitute or ElleKit and take a screenshot of the uninstall list. Do NOT confirm yet; read carefully:
    • This will also uninstall many tweaks including XXTouch. In theory it’s safe, but we cannot assume responsibility; if concerned, stop and consult a trusted professional.
    • After understanding, decide whether to confirm uninstall.
  3. Install XXTouch from the source (you may need to reboot and re-activate jailbreak) and ensure no errors.
  4. Reboot again (may need to re-activate jailbreak).
  5. If needed, reinstall items removed in step 2 according to your screenshot.

Attempt 4​

Delete /var/mobile/Media/1ferver/caches/daemon_cache.db and reboot (may need to re-activate jailbreak).

If installed via Cydia​

Try these one by one:

Attempt 1​

Tap Cancel, then choose a script.

Attempt 2​

Reinstall (no need to uninstall first) the latest XXTouch from Cydia and ensure there are no red errors (see faq-0013). Reboot (may need to re-activate jailbreak).

Attempt 3​

Install OpenSSH via Cydia and ensure no red errors (skip if already installed). Refresh sources and update base dependencies with no red errors.

  • On iOS < 11: reinstall (no need to uninstall) Cydia Substrate, UIKit Tools, and XXTouch with no red errors.
  • On iOS ≥ 11: reinstall (no need to uninstall) Tweak Injector, Substitute, Substrate Compatibility Layer, UIKit Tools, and XXTouch with no red errors. Then reboot (may need to re-activate jailbreak).

    • This will also uninstall many tweaks including XXTouch. In theory it’s safe, but we cannot assume responsibility; if concerned, stop and consult a professional.
    • After understanding, decide whether to confirm uninstall.
  2. Install XXTouch from the source (you may need to reboot and re-activate jailbreak) and ensure no red errors.
