- We had heard rumors that Pangu could release a tool to jailbreak after the release of iOS 8.1.
- A few hours ago it has been found that the tool is already available, although with some limitations.
Pangu releases the first tool to jailbreak iOS 8.1 8
Pangu's team has released a jailbreak compatible with iOS 8.1 iOS 8 and during the day, just 35 days after the release of the latest version of the mobile operating system from Cupertino . The download link for the tool for iOS Pangu 8 was available on the official website Pangu before being retired in a few minutes.
While this is great news for users of jailbroken, comes with some limitations that make this release jailbreak for iOS eight useless thing yet.
The first thing to note is that this does not install Cydia on jailbroken devices now. Just provide basic access SSH, as it appears that this initial version of Pangu is geared mainly towards developers to update their tweaks for iOS in August. Of course, you also need to update Cydia Saurik iOS 8 in order to do compatible with the newly updated operating system, which explains why Cydia is not included in Pangu iOS version 8.
In summary, although technically you could jailbreak your device would be useless to most users using Cydia . The good news is that Saurik is working on the update for the new jailbreak Cydia Pangu, as announced on reddit recently.
Windows only (for now)
This version of iOS Pangu 8 - iOS 8.1 is for Windows, but it seems the team Pangu removed the download link, probably to solve problems associated with this initial release. The website still provides information about the jailbreak process, which could be useful for anyone looking to jailbreak your device once the most stable version available.
At this time, it has been successfully jailbreak any iOS device with this first version of Pangu. We'll have to wait to see the first reports of devices with the process performed. Surely we will see a tool for Mac in the next few hours too.
Supported Devices
According to the website of Pangu Pangu to eight iOS - iOS 8.1 is compatible with the following devices:
iPod touch 5G.
iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, 5c iPhone, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus .
iPad mini, mini iPad 2, iPad 3 Mini, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Air 2 (we're not entirely sure about the compatibility of the iPad).
Preparing for jailbreak iOS 8 - iOS 8.1
As we have said on other occasions, so any user should do before using this version of Pangu is to make a backup of your device.
As you can read on the official Pangu, we recommend upgrading to iOS 8.1 or iOS 8.1 restore through iTunes before proceeding with the jailbreak process. On the Air 2 iPad apparently can be problems during the process and restore / update to iOS 8.1 through iTunes seems to be the best option at this time.
The team also suggests Pangu disable passcode lock screen and Find my iPhone via Settings - iCloud before proceeding. As noted in iDownloadBlog , the team points out that as the eight official iOS update, users are required to have a bit of free storage space on your device in order to run Pangu.
We'll see how everything continues to develop over the next few hours and we'll give you all the information when we can see a definite tool to jailbreak iOS devices 8-8.1.
