I have contacted the previous user but he doesn't remember which jailbreak version he installed (it was ~4 years ago). In the "Device info" section it says:


So is there anyway for me to uninstall JB and its related content (i.e factory reset) other than debricking?

The jail break CAN NOT be your problem.
The "stuffs" are not likely, but update them anyway.

The most likely source of your problem is an aging eMMC chip (one with bad erase blocks - - the flash storage version of sectors).

IF you try to re-write the image file, you are very likely to find the process will fail.
Leaving you a used screen to re-sell.

But if you feel you absolutely must re-install, use Kubrick (see sticky atop index page).
