Great work Pangu! Jailbreak 9-9.0.2!

Once again, Chinese team Pangu drops a public iOS jailbreak for all the devices presently released including the new iPhone 6s/+. The usual warning about backing up your devices and that most of the software on cydia must be updated to work with the OS.  We know that 9.1 is already in the pipe.  I hope no unnecessary bugs were burned.  Taig did amazing work in iOS 8 to ensure that their bugs were released at the perfect time for maximum effect and user elation.

Only windows app presently.  My windows virtual machine decided to implode this morning, so i used my gaming PC to get it done.  (my new windows VM is still updating)

I was successful jailbreaking my iPhone 6s+ that had been OTA updated to iOS 9.0.2.  Strangely, I received no confirmation screen upon success.  Pangu recommends restoring your device directly to 9.0.2 instead of using the update feature on your device.

Oh Cydia- how i missed you!

Tiag 8.3 jailbreak Cydia iconsToday TiaG released a new jailbreak for iOS 8.1.3-8.3!  Finally I am jailbroken again!  As usual, lots of apps will need to be updated to work and Mobile Substrate isn’t compatible yet.  Please be patient as Saurik and others get things updated.  That is not to say that there isn’t piles of useful stuff already in Cydia.  It will probably be a few days (or maybe weeks) before we see activator and similar tweaks or themes up on 8.3.  Presently, TiaG jailbreak is only windows, but it works fine with virtualization.  Also, 8.4 should be coming soon.  I know Pangu allegedly already has a working jailbreak that they are waiting to release.  If that is true and nothing TiaG releases gets in the way, it should be great.  However, it is probably a good idea to upgrade to 8.3 before the signing window closes.  Apple usually leaves the old iOS open for a few hours or days after a new version is released.

Halloween surprise from Pangu! iOS 8.1 Jailbreak!

I was so wrapped up in the ghoulish holiday that I hardly noticed when @PanguTeam released an iOS 8~8.1 jailbreak tool.  This release covers all devices capable of running iOS 8. Presently it is only available for windows (but runs great in a virtual machine).  Already on the 4th version of the tool for Windows, a Mac version is promised soon.  Only just playing with it now.  More info to come.  thanks guys.  get it here:  http://pangu.io

Pangu Jailbreak 8.1

Pangu releases jailbreak for iOS 7.1/7.1.1!

pangu jailbreak icon Exciting to see a new player on the jailbreak scene.  This new player brings drama we haven’t seen since Zibri left the scene.  Wrought with the threat of malware and with the inclusion of a pirated App Store this jailbreak has certainly raised many questions as to the safety and legality of the software.  It’s installation is easy enough.  Nearly as simple as the evad3rs jailbreaks.  The main cravat is the inclusion of an expired corporate code signing certificate.  This requires that you set the date on your device to June 2nd and also to verify that you want to run an application from developer “iPhone Distribution:  Hefei Bo Fang communication technology co. LTD.”

It seems that much of the drama stems from the source of the bugs used to complete the process.  @i0n1c has been quite vocal about the whole thing.

Pangu makes no attempt to conceal what they did.  Thanking @i0n1c right on their app, even linking to his twitter feed.  They are not exactly claiming credit for his work, nor do i see how they are making any money from the release of this free jailbreak.  I understand that no permission was given to release this privileged info to the public, but i am glad that someone used it to release a free jailbreak.  Better then the current elevat0r to nowhere.  UPDATE:  pangu released 1.1 version of jailbreak removing @i0n1c’s info leak bugs and fixing boot loop issues experience by some users.  Not a great idea to burn more bugs, really no purpose at this point. Also, english release makes it easier for me to read.  UPDATE:  Apple released 7.1.2.  Pangu jailbreak includes 7.1.2.

Here are a few screens from the process.  I wasn’t quick enough to grab the startup screen with a thank you message.  Presently, the installer only runs in windows, but it can even be done with virtualization.  They claim a mac version is coming soon now avaliable.  pangu.io or english version:  en.pangu.io
