New iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak is out! TaiG has released a jailbreak for both iOS 8.1.1 and iOS 8.2 beta running on compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. MuscleNerd of Team Evad3rs took to Twitter to confirm the release.

The iOS community got a belated present two days after Christmas with the release of the untethered jailbreak for all A4 devices running iOS 5.0.1. The release of the jailbreak represented nearly two months of hard work and research by pod2g followed by efficient and swift work from the iPhone Dev and Chronic Dev Teams to package the jailbreak up for public consumption.

It was only a few days ago when iOS developer and hacker Pod2g showed off his new untethered jailbreak exploit running on iOS 5. At that time, he tested it on a third-gen iPod touch running iOS 5.0 and wasn’t sure if it would also work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. But he did promise to test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back accordingly with results.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment all jailbreaking enthusiasts have been waiting for has (almost) arrived! A new video has been uploaded by one eminent member of the jailbreaking community and it gives us the first look at untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. Details (and video), after the jump!

After seven betas, one GM and another performance improving update (which itself has two betas), iOS 5 hasn’t received an untethered jailbreak yet. Folks who wish to enhance their experience with apps and tweaks from Cydia have to make do with a tethered jailbreak, but it appears that the jailbreaking community is getting closer and closer to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 as one hacker has sent out an update regarding its progress.

We’ve been getting a lot of emails lately about this and so we thought it was a good idea to do a dedicated post on it to answer this question once and for all.

With iOS 5 set to be released this week, the focus is now firmly drawn towards the when, if, and how of an untethered jailbreak.

If you’ve been a frequent reader of this website for the last few months, you’re likely aware that Apple is getting ready to release iOS 5, the next version of its mobile operating system. After months of uncertainty, it now seems that there is at least one team which is actively working on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

If you’re thinking of applying a tethered jailbreak on your iOS 5 device, your dreams might be shattered, if what Stefan Esser, the guy who previously developed jailbreak exploits for iOS 4.3.x, has been told is to be believed.
