Pangu Jailbreaks iOS 8.4.1 Untethered at HackPwn 2015 - Last week, Apple released iOS 8.4.1 to the public, effectively patching the latest TaiG Untethered iOS 8.4 jailbreak utility. However, unlike iOS 8.1.3 (being the last jailbreak-patching firmware), iOS 8.4.1’s impact on jailbreaking extends far beyond the latest jailbreak. When Apple issued 8.4.1 the company did so with security at the forefront of their intentions - e.g. iOS 8.4.1 closed not only vulnerabilities exploited by TaiG for 8.4, but also several utilized by former Pangu and evasi0n jailbreak tools that the company left unattended until now. In other words, iOS 8.4.1 was, and is, a massive threat to jailbreakers. However, earlier today Pangu (the group behind both the iOS 7.1.x and iOS 8.1 jailbreak utilities by the same name) demonstrated that the group has achieved a new untethered jailbreak on iOS 8.4.1 just over a week after the devastating firmware’s release…
Latest iOS Jailbreak Status: iOS 9 Jailbreak Achieved (Update Here)!
Apple Releases iOS 8.4.1, Can I Jailbreak 8.4.1 Untethered with TaiG?
iOS 8.4.1 Released, is it Possible to Jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 and Should I Update? - Today, following approximately one month of developer beta testing, Apple released iOS 8.4.1 to the general public. iOS 8.4.1, being the first general iOS release since the company issued iOS 8.4 to introduce Apple Music, is a rather unfortunate release for jailbreakers, as it patches the Untethered TaiG iOS 8.4 jailbreak that was released at the end of June. With a build number of 12H321, iOS 8.4.1 is available for immediate download either as an OTA software update in the Settings app or via the traditional iTunes method. However, those of you who are currently jailbroken on iOS 8.4 or earlier should avoid the new firmware release at all costs. The latest iOS 8.4.1 firmware is an incredibly minor release and, therefore, knowing that iOS 8.4.1 won’t introduce any noticeable features, updating to iOS 8.4.1…
8.4.1 Beta 2 Released, Will TaiG Jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 Upon Release?
iOS 8.4.1 beta 2 Released by Apple, will TaiG Jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 Untethered? - Today, without any prior indication, roughly two weeks and two days following its initial seed, Apple issued iOS 8.4.1 beta 2 for developers. iOS 8.4.1, being the firmware that’s expected to patch the TaiG jailbreak (though a miracle could still happen - see video below for details), is an extremely minor update likely featuring bug fixes and optimizations. Currently, those who update to the beta seed from a jailbroken device on iOS 8.4 will forfeit their Untethered TaiG 8.4 jailbreak, as the latest Untethered utility isn’t compatible with the beta firmware, regardless of whether Apple closed TaiG’s exploits in 8.4.1 beta 2. As of now, any release timeframe would be based on conjecture and speculation, though seeing as the firmware appears as though it’s a very minor update, we likely won’t see an iOS 8.4.1 beta…
iOS 8.4.1 Beta Released, TaiG to Jailbreak 8.4.1 Untethered?
Apple Releases 8.4.1 beta 1, TaiG to Jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 Untethered? - Today, in a completely unexpected release, Apple seeded iOS 8.4.1 to developers ensuing last week’s public release of both iOS 8.4 and the company’s new Apple Music streaming service. Unfortunately, jailbreakers running iOS 8.3 or 8.4 will certainly be threatened by iOS 8.4.1’s inevitable public release. iOS 8.4.1 beta 1 carries a slightly revised build number over its predecessor of 12H304, versus 12H14 - such a minor jump is indicative of very minor changes. Today’s new iOS 8.4.1 beta 1 seed is available for immediate download via Apple’s newly revamped Developer portal. As far as jailbreaking is concerned, as alluded to above, the firmware may very well patch the TaiG iOS 8.4 jailbreak once it’s issued to the public, making it impossible for any device to jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 Untethered utilizing TaiG. However, seeing as iOS 8.4.1. is one…
