iOS 8.4.1 released 8.4 Signing window is closing. . .

new iOS version 8.4.1If you would like to restore your device for jailbreaking, now is the last chance for a while (probably until 9.0.1 or so).  It is not difficult as long as Apple is still signing the earlier version.  Simply visit https://ipsw.me/ and download the iOS version you wish to install (for us it is 8.4 for your device model).  Once this file is downloaded, fire up iTunes select the summary screen for your device, hold option (or alt if you are on windows) and click restore.  This will bring up an open dialogue and simply feed it the file you downloaded in the previous step.  You will need to temporarily turn off Find My iPhone before you will be allowed to restore.  Restoring creates a cleaner foundation for the jailbreak.  It is not always required, but i highly recommend it.  Soon, we will not be able to restore without loosing jailbreak.  We want to ensure that our devices are functioning fully.  That is why we jailbreak!

TiaG releases Jailbreak 2.1.2 for iOS 8.1.3-8.3!

TiaG LogoUpdated with all the proper kernel patches for Mobile Substrate as well as fixes for earlier bugs.  Great news for the community!  Myself, I have had a great experience with the latest jailbreak despite the initial bugs.  TiaG put out a more solid then a Geohot initial release.  (No disrespect to the man, but he would have had 4 patches out by day 2.)  Where is the iPhone dev team Team Chronic or the Evad3rs Team (Dream Team) these days?

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.
