How To Fix Bootloop Issue After Jailbreaking iOS 7.1/7.1.1 Using Pangu

After the great succession of Pangu untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1/7.1.1 which is developed and made by a group of Chinese hackers, it looks like that many users have been reporting bootloop issues when they restart their iOS device which has been jailbroken using the Pangu iOS 7.1 – iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak.
