How to Jailbreak 8.1 Untethered with Pangu for iOS 8 on iPhone 6 Plus 5S, 5C, 4S iPad Mini 3, Air 2, 4 and iPod Touch 5th generation - Wow - it’s actually here - today, Pangu released their all-new utility to jailbreak 8.1 fully UnTethered: Pangu for iOS 8.0 through 8.1.x! However, before you get too excited, there’s one catch, which is a rather significant one. As of now, the Pangu jailbreak for 8.1 doesn’t install Cydia, as Saurik (the creator of the aforementioned third-party graphical tweak distribution and acquisition interface) has yet to update Cydia Substrate for iOS 8. The way things currently stand, Pangu for iOS 8 is mostly intended for jailbreak developers to get a jump on creating iOS 8-compatible tweaks, as the utility enables full root access, and enables SSH, which is jailbreaking on a fundamental and rudimentary level. However, seeing as there’s no way to determine when the loopholes exploited by Pangu’s new utility will be patched by an updated 8.1.x firmware, those interested in jailbreaking should take advantage of the current opportunity to do so, as you’ll be able to install Cydia once Saurik successfully updates Cydia Substrate for iOS 8 through 8.1.x! For more on the exciting new Pangu jailbreak 8.1 utility, continue past the break.

Pink penies
I have ipad 3 with ios 8.1 and whenever i start the pangu process status bar does not moves at all and something comes up in red ink.
I have iphone 5 with ios 8.1 and whenever i start the pangu process status bar does not moves at all and something comes up in red ink.
I had a similar problem that I solved by restoring 8.1 to factory settings then running Pangu.
Were you actually able to jailbreak with iphone 5?
Yes, my iPhone 5 is jailbroken with Cydia and Cydia substrate.
yes I was able to jailbreak my Iphone 5. Currently Running Cydia
you gotta turn find my iPhone off
Good advice, it worked for me to turn off Find My iPhone. Thank you!
Is there a release for OS X if so can someene please give a link to it us mac users would like to be able to jailbreak too, Yes I know we are a smaller community on the jailbreak scene but please don’t leave us out!
Currently, the only way to jailbreak on mac is to install a windows virtual machine and run the jailbreak software on it.
What about AppSync for ios 8 ????
Installation ok and installed Cydia on IPad Retina but impossible to find “Cydia substrate” or “mobilesubstrate”.
Beside that. Good work.
Crash Override, NICE TALKING, I think they are greatfully but Just pis off for the issue Cydia. Your words going to help much people because of the easy way you have explained. There are a lot people that find the tips and workout for install Cydia to difficult or have no time because of work. Jailbreak going realative fast but the work for complete the settings - apps and tweaks cost many hour. So I respect this young people that gives us the possibility to jailbreak. Because of time I will wait with the jailbreak. I’m now on 7.1.2 , when cydia is infiltrated in the jailbreak than i check to update iTunes and iPhone and go for it. Thanks for your hint!
Search on google or latest post here how to install cydia (it was there from few hour after pangu jailbreak) Im on iPhone 5 and what I can say that appcake will not install apps because of appsync I think. I will try with iFunbox and see if that work.
What a feeding frenzy! Kudos again to the Pangu Team, BUT the most important line in today’s News is (IMHO): “… Pangu for iOS 8 is mostly intended for jailbreak developers to get a jump on creating iOS 8-compatible tweaks…”
@Tommy- You nailed it above. We’re just now getting all of our tweaks updated after JailBreaking with Pangu 7.x; why start all over again now at 8.1—and without Cydia?!
great i can finaly get my barrel again, and more stuff yaya thanks soo much i can’t thank you enought ^_^. my brather and sister are mad at me for upgrading the device XD
I’ll waite untill pangu come up with an updated one that has cydia on it
I have 7.2 jailbreak I’m good so far new feature don’t bother me that mush so not a big deal. Good work pangu team.
Good for you Jonp! ???? I’m so glad the advise has helped you. I wish you luck on installing Cydia… I found it to be quite a todo. My joy meter was at a 2 out of 10. It sure spiked back up when I did it though. I’m rather surprised how many of my tweaks were still working! I expected almost none of them would. I do miss infinidock oh so much. I pray that it will be modified to accommodate iOS 8! PANGU AND SAURIK RULE!!!
This is amazing. Way to go pangu. About to jailbreak my iPhone 6 I’ll see how it goes
I was having a hell of a time trying to JB my i5 and $Bulbous$ nailed it turn off find your iPhone. Thank a ton I’m JB and going to install cydia now
is this a joke ? already liked you long time ago and been stuck on that screen for 5 mins !!no option to do anything
Well done mr blogger. Thanks for bringing us this news first. what a surprise.
iPhone 4 S iPhone 5S both jailbroken with Cydia iOS 8.1 so far Pandora skips works and Zepplin thank you very much enjoying my new jailbreak ????
I’m still happily running 7.1.2 on my 5s and I don’t like updating unless I have to.
Due to this release many will be forced into updating their devices to 8.1 before Apple stop signing the firmware.
My phone is beautifully customised and I hate having to change it. It’s a total pain in the arse.
When pangu for 7.1.2 was released it was over 2 months before most of the tweaks I used were available from iOS 6.x
What is the point in releasing this so early?
Way too rushed
You can install cydia but manulay. Use ssh to install it! Lot of things dont work but you can install. I have it.
how do you install it manually
Does this work with an iPhone 5?
I successfully jailbroke my iphone 6 plus, be sure to turn off icloud first. It does recognize my fingerprint still, eveyrthing seems to still work great.
What’s the point in jailbreaking if you can’t get Cydia?!
everyone jailbreaks ios 8 >……. You must turn off your idevices three times.
I have my iPod 5G jailbroken on 7.0.6, can I just update to iOS 8.1 and jailbreak or how do I do this?
Tui danh su dung iPhone 4s ios 8..0.2 tui mong jailbeak khong biet gio nao co the jailbeak ios8.0.2
Hey Evasion Jailbreak… Maybe it’s about time you change your name to Pangu Jailbreak. Hell, Evasi0n team doesn’t even want to bother getting involved anymore anyhow! It’s kinda silly to pay such a tribute to them if they won’t even bother to be in the game any longer IMO.
Make sure that you have find my phone turned off and iTunes is updated BEFORE JB. And back your device up as well! Hope this helps. BTW… You can always turn of find my phone remotely on a computer.
Did MMS stop working for anyone after jailbreak? Déjà vu?
I jailbroken my iPhone 5c iOS 81 with pangu. But cydia isn’t available yet.
no, they said Cydia won’t be available for a while.
Guys am running ios 7.1.1 jailbroken.Once i plug-in my iphone 5s in my itunes application it says update to firmware 8.0.2 ?!!. Where can i get 8.1?
You can always google download 8.1 and find one.
Dang, apple just can’t keep up with Pangu, those Chinese hackers are the best in the world. God damn.
Someone help me ! I´m trying to jailbreak my iphone 5S with iOS 8.1 using the pangu utility but the status bar of the process don´t continuous, stop in something that should be an “icloud” problem. Is there anyone with the same problem?
It says in the video that if you upgraded to 8.1 through owa that there will be problems so you will half to back up your phone and then do a clean restore install the jailbreak and then put your backup back on
I have the same problem but I’ve already done this
turn off find my iphone and then try again
ok !!! I restored my iphone from itunes but still continuous getting error. NOw don´t continuous updating from the 2/6, keeps downloading something which I don´t know what is. Help me!
try turning off find my iphone i got the same problem and that fixed it
make sure you signed completely out of icloud when you do this in settings.
Yes log out complete from I-Cloud! And it works 100% All apps are still there and working! Now try to get Cydia on it :))))
WOW!!! Now THAT was fast! Way to go Pangu! LOL… A jailbreak before you can even install Cydia… That’s priceless! ????
