    Pangu iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 Jailbreak released

    [​IMG]

    We’ve some great news for jailbreakers. The Pangu team has just released a jailbreak for iOS 8 – iOS 8.1, making it the first jailbreak released for iOS 8 or later.

    According to the website Pangu8 will work with all the iOS 8 – 8.1 compatible devices:

    iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s
    iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3 and iPad 2
    Retina iPad mini, 1st gen iPad mini
    5th generation iPod touch
    This would make Pangu8, the first jailbreak for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which went on sale last month. It is currently available only for Windows. The Mac version will be released soon.

    Pangu team has provided the following details on their website:

    Preparations for jailbreak.
    Backup before using pangu jailbreak tool. Although this tool is tested successfully on most devices, we still hope you backup your data to avoid data loss. Please turn off the screen password lock and close the “find my iPhone” feature in the iCloud settings before jailbreak.

    the firmware upgraded via OTA may cause failure.
    The firmware upgraded via OTA will have a lot of influence factors. If you have several failed attempts, Please try to download the latest firmware and restore your iOS devices. In addition, Pangu (iOS 8) tool now add a function to restore iOS devices and execute automatic activation, you can try click the jailbreak button after restoring, and Pangu will automatically activate your device and do jailbreak.

    “Storage capacity is almost full.”?
    This is because the jailbreak program will write important files into the system directory and cause alarm, it will not affect the result. When the Cydia be compatible, click on the Cydia will launch the directory moving process.

    About afc2?
    Because Apple made a lot of adjustments to the system, you cannot use afc2 plug-ins at present.

    Do not delete “com.apple.mobile.softwareupdated.plist”
    Do not delete “com.apple.mobile.softwareupdated.plist”, otherwise it will cause system failure.

    Processing method of jailbreak failure
    Please enable the Airplane mode and close Wifi and then try to jailbreak, or if not successful, please restart your devices and then try. If it still fails, please use the Pangu restore function and jailbreak again.


    NOTE: It should be noted this jailbreak is intended for developers, not for the general public - that is why there is no Cydia included.

    This is the reason I won't add a download in case people jump on it without reading

    They've finally added Cydia Substrate to iOS 8. A tutorial has been uploaded to YouTube, by a channel called iCrackUriDevice, click here to watch it. I can confirm it works, but most tweaks do not work, and are hopefully being updated for the future. IF you wish to see a list of iOS 8 - 8.1 compatible tweaks, click here. I, myself will upload proof tonight on a seperate post via YouTube. Have fun jailbreaking.

    NOTE: The version you are currently using of iOS 8 must not be installed through 'OTA', and you must download a Restore IPSW from redmondpie.com as there are many more bugs and issues with an OTA (Over the air) install.
