iOS 9.3.4 is out today and patches the jailbreak. Do not update to this of course. If you do, you’ll lose your opportunity to jailbreak your device.

After 9 months, Pangu for iOS 9.0.2-9.3.3 was released 7/26. It supports 64 bit devices only – iPhone 5s and newer. This is a semi-untethered jailbreak. It works off an exploit in an app, and you need a valid certificate to install an app. The result is you may have to hook back up to your computer every 7 days or so.

iOS9.1 is out. Do not update or you will lose your jailbreak and the ability to jailbreak at this time.

Pangu has been released for ios9-9.02 and works very well. This is the time to update your devices and get onto ios9 before apple puts out another update and blocks the jailbreak genericsforusa.

Remember that many tweaks are still being updated for ios9 and a lot has changed internally so not everything may work. But at the very least, you should get your device onto ios9 while you can.

iOS9 is out today. Lots of neat features but no jailbreak yet. So if you want to keep all your cool jailbreak features, do not upgrade yet. Stay tuned for when iOS9 is jailbroken and ready to go.

The Taig Jailbreak is out for iOS 8.3 As of right now, most tweaks from Cydia will not yet work but we hope this is solved later today. As of this moment I suggest holding off on the jailbreak until things are more stable.Things are pretty stable now so this is probably a good time to get updated and onto iOS8.3 if you ever feel the need to do so in case Apple puts out an update and closes the jailbreak holes.

Likewise, if you plan to stay on 8.1 or 8.1.2, that’s probably ok also.

iOS 8.1.3 is now out and it patches jailbreaks. If you are jailbroken then do not upgrade or you will lose the chance to jailbreak.

Sorry for the late post. But just to confirm, both these firmwares have been jailbroken. Taig http://www.taig.com/en/ has taken care of the latest firmware.

As of right now, all iOS8 firmwares are jailbroken. Please make sure you don’t update beyond 8.1.2 in the near future if you want to keep your jailbreak until you hear otherwise.

Finally, if you’re still on iOS7, now is the time to get to iOS8 while the signing window for firmware is still open by apple – before they release an update and close you out.

Updated: IOS 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 jailbroken click here for details. Looks like apple rolled out 8.1.1 today. Jailbreak is patched so avoid updating to 8.1.1 for now.  !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:'https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+’://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js’;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, ‘script’, ‘twitter-wjs’);lang: en_US

Pangu was released a week or two ago. Now after several bug fixes, it’s all pretty stable and easy to use. This is the time to get your devices onto 8.1 and jailbreak. You’ll want to do this soon so you dont miss out. When apple releases the next update, we can expect the jailbreak to be patched and the restore window for iOS8.1 to be closed.

There are a couple small issues with the jailbreak. The first is if you jailbreak then restore your backup (in that order), you will have to reinstall cydia *before* you reboot. If you don’t you’re device may not start up and you’ll have to restore. So if you recover your back up prior to having cydia on the device, you’re ok. This should also apply if you decide to reset all settings. Then you’ll need to reisntall cydia before you reboot.

Reinstalling cydia in the above example is as simple as going into cydia, searching for cydia installer, tapping modify, reinstall.

As far as tweaks, a lot of them are working pretty well now. A lot of stuff still needs to be converted, but much of the core libraries are working such as activator, flipswitch, substrate itself, winterboard (as long as you avoid summerboard mode).

Pangu released a new jailbreak for ios 8/8.1 today. But it has some issues so please hold off until they get worked out:

Issues so far:
1) Occasional locks on apple logo on boot
2) SMS sending of images broken
3) Cydia not installed, have to use ssh to install manually.

The jailbreak will get sorted out over the next few days and we will post an update when it’s good to go.

Also, like all major updates, tweaks will need to be rewritten to support ios8. The current developers have not had time with ios8 to do this yet so even when the jailbreak is stable, you may want to hold off for a couple weeks.

iOS 8 is due to be released sometime today (Wednesday, Sept 17), so jailbreakers should avoid updating until a new jailbreak is released.

If you feel the need to update anyway, remember that it will be a one-way trip to iOS 8, and there might not be a jailbreak available for iOS 8 for a long time. You will not be able to downgrade or restore to iOS 7 after upgrading to iOS 8.

Pangu was released a couple days ago to handle jailbreak for ios7.1-7.1.1 devices. The jailbreak seems to be working alright.

Personally, I suggest just staying on 7.0-7.0.6 for now as the 7.1.1 update is not really worth it for the effort. However, if you think you need to get to 7.1.1 you should do so soon. Apple is expected to release 7.1.2 any day which will close the signing of restores of 7.1.1.

For those having issues in a boot loop after the jailbreak you might try shining a light at the light sensor. (http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/294wob/jailbreak_with_pangu_and_bootloop_try_this_fix_oo).

For those of you that recently jaibroke and found some errors regarding cydia dependencies such as substrate v0.9551, your issue is caused by bad timestamps on the evasi0n repository payloads. The solution is to clean it out with icleaner:

Use iCleaner to clear out your repo data, and then everything will reload properly. Here’s what you do:
1. install iCleaner (free)
2. Turn off everything in iCleaner
3. Turn on the “Cydia Sources” switch
4. Hit “Clean” on the top right
5. Go back into cydia, tap the changes tab, tap ‘refresh’ at top left, and wait for data to download and reloading data to finish
6. Uninstall iCleaner (optional)

Now that iOS7 has been jailbroken, it is advised that anyone that ever wants to be on iOS 7.0.4 *ever* gets there very soon. Speculation is that Apple will release an update soon and when that occurs, they will stop signing 7.0.4. Users will have a limited time window to get onto iOS7 and be jailbreakable. Further, reports are that evasi0n only runs on a freshly restored 7.0.4 rather than one a device that got to 7.0.4 via “software update”. So if you have not done so yet, now is the time to backup your device in iTunes, restore it to a fresh 7.0.4, and keep it on ios7.0.4.

For those that have jailbroken, keep in mind that some tweaks may not work. And every tweak needs to be recompiled to work on ARM64 (iphone 5s) so many things installed may simply not show up until updated.
