The Pangu jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 / 7.1.1 has meant that every single version of Apple's latest firmware is jailbreakable using one method or another, and although the impromptu nature of this release - coupled with one or to controversies - has put some folks off, it actually makes sense to now update to iOS 7.1.1 and re-jailbreak using Pangu.
As you might already have learned by now, Chinese group Pangu just took the jailbreaking world by storm with the release of its new, untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. Although some tweaks should work right off the bat, others will require developer intervention before they can be deemed ready for prime time, and below, you'll find a list of currently-compatible tweaks for Pangu-jailbroken devices.
There is a new iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak out in the wild. Released by Chinese developers, and dubbed as Pangu, the new untethered jailbreak is said to be working on the latest iOS 7.1.1 firmware and supports all the latest devices including the likes of iPhone 5S and iPad Air.
iOS 8 beta is officially out in the wild, and as the tech world continues to dissect the new features, many have chosen to hold off and wait for the official, end user release. Given that beta software is, by its very nature, generally buggy - there's also that $99 annual fee for a Developer pass to contend with - and when you weigh up these caveats, it's easy to see why some have chosen to pass on the unfinished builds. But if you're holding off for purpose of preserving your jailbreak, you can actually enjoy an iOS 8-like experience thanks to the abundance of facilitating tweaks already available, and although it's not quite like the real thing, it's the next best thing for the time being.
Whenever a new version of iOS is released, the focus immediately turns to its jailbreaking potential. With the first beta of iOS 8 having just been distributed to developers, it has now emerged that it can, in fact, be jailbroken, with renowned security expert known in jailbreak circles as i0n1c having worked some more magic.
iOS 7 brought a multitude of changes to the fore back in September, and the most immediately-noticeable was that of the user interface. Almost every element was overhauled and redesigned from the ground up, and despite some initial resistance, the overwhelming majority appear to have warmed to the new look. Given how many years the old aesthetic stuck around for, though, it's more than likely that some of you will have developed an affinity to certain aspects, and if you preferred the look of the old default keyboard, there's now a tweak that will allow you to reinstate it.
Facebook has been actively upping its game in the mobile stakes in recent times, and alongside the announcement of the big Facebook Home launcher for Android last year, the Menlo Park company also introduced a neat little feature by the name of Chat Heads. Simply put, this feature brought universal chat bubbles that could be accessed from any aspect of Android and moved around the interface at will. Due to limitations with iOS, it wasn't possible for Facebook to replicate the feature on Apple's mobile OS, but thanks to a new jailbreak tweak, one can enjoy similar functionality on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
A few days ago, Stefan Esser, better known in jailbreak circles as i0n1c, revealed that he'd successfully performed an iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak on his very yellow iPhone 5c. Following this exciting inroad, he then went on to explain how the single kernel exploit was achieved, and now, finally, he's shown off a demo clip of his device booting up and running Cydia on iOS 7.1.1.
iOS security researcher Stefan Esser, better known in the jailbreaking scene as i0n1c, recently showcased an iOS 7.1.1 untethered jailbreak on the iPhone 5c. This was quickly followed by another untether by Winocm, which was demoed on iPhone 4. And now, Chinese hacker Yeongjin Jang has demonstrated a video showing the process of installing an unsigned app on a jailbroken iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.1, although unlike i0n1c's or Winocm’s solution, it appears that this one is tethered.
Earlier today, well known iOS security researcher i0n1c posted a photo of iPhone 5c jailbroken on iOS 7.1.1 running Cydia version 1.1.9.
