Since iOS 12 deleting the OTA in Settings will not fully get rid of it, causing unc0ver to fail (this is also the reason why before this issue was handled properly unc0ver caused bootloops on iOS 12).

Attempt to jailbreak with the Disable Updates option toggled off.

The root of this issue is the fact that the system will copy over OTA contents to the rootfs after downloading, so getting rid of the system snapshot would cause the device to boot off the live filesystem, which is corrupted as files from a new iOS version were put, causing a bootloop.

Unc0ver detects this issue by checking the iOS version of the root fs.

Starting to download an OTA update again, will revert the old one.

And Im also not surprised that you cant fully delete OTA updates anymore either.

They tried forcing an update on me in the background when my device was back on iOS 10.2 (it downloaded and extracted OTA files in the background, so that it would update upon next reboot), and I had to manually go through and remove all of the stuff placed.

The only way I noticed this was the fact that 3-4GB of my storage was suddenly used.
