The Pangu jailbreak team has just pushed out a new version 1.2.1 of their iOS 8 - 8.1 jailbreak utility which brings the latest Cydia 1.1.16 bundled as part of fresh jailbreak process.
The Pangu Untether package version 0.3 has just been re-released on Cydia. This package was initially released yesterday, mainly for 32-bit devices, to fix overheating and over usage of CPU. But immediately after the release, the package was found to cause booting issues on some 64-bit devices and hence was immediately removed from Cydia.
Whoa. This is just in. Team Pangu has dropped an iOS 8 - 8.1 jailbreak that works on even the latest iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2, along with all previous devices. The jailbreak though is currently limited to SSH only, and it doesn’t come with Cydia installed.
The Pangu jailbreak for iOS 7.1.x and up has proved a big hit among Cydia fans, successfully opening the door for the second time on iOS 7 after the initial heroics of the Evad3rs. Although the initial tool was a tad unrefined, the Pangu team has frequently updated the utility for a smoother, more secure jailbreak, and having recently rolled out Pangu 1.2.1 featuring bug fixes and AFC2, those already jailbroken can now reap the benefits of these enhancements directly from Cydia.
The Pangu 1.2 jailbreak tool is out, and is available for download right now for Windows and Mac. This version brings with it a bunch of crucial fixes and enhancements. More details and download links can be found right here.
To get one untethered jailbreak per major iOS release is a blessing in itself, but even though the job of the jailbreaking scene gets more difficult with each year that passes by, the fact that Evad3rs and Pangu both dropped untethered jailbreaks for iOS 7 was nothing short of heroic. Evad3rs' Evasi0n tool took care of iOS 7.0.x, and when this was eventually plugged, the self-titled tool from the Pangu team took care of iOS 7.1.x. Now, both are up for a Pwnie award in the ‘Best Privilege Escalation Bug’ category, a gathering that highlights the work of those in the field of security research, and although we've no personal affinity to one over the other, we'd certainly love to see a jailbreak team yield such acclaim.
Mac OS X version of Pangu iOS 7.1 / 7.1.1 jailbreak was released only a while back. We have already done a detailed guide on how to jailbreak on Windows. Here we’ll show you how you can jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on the latest iOS 7.1.1 or iOS 7.1 using Mac version of Pangu.
The Pangu iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak team has finally made available download links of Mac version of their now infamous tool. Pangu jailbreak tool was originally released for Windows last week.
The jailbreak scene has a rich tradition of releasing jailbreak tools for Mac OS X initially, with a Windows / Linux roll-out following shortly thereafter. However, the Pangu jailbreak collective from China turned the scene on its head in more than one way with the recent release of their untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1.x, and given its Windows-only nature, many folks were left scrambling around trying to locate an old PC. Pangu did promise that a Mac edition would be forthcoming, though, and it has since come to light that the team is currently working to deliver on its promise.
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.
