Jailbreak iOS 8 running devices
Follow the steps to Jailbreak you device.
Step
1:
Download the latest version of Pangu jailbreak.
Step
2: Connect
your device to your computer, and use iCloud or iTunes to back up any and all
personal information that you need to keep safe. The jailbreak has been
reported to be working in most cases, but on the off chance something goes
wrong, it’s a good idea to have an escape plan.
Step
3: The
Pangu team says that if you’ve done an OTA update, the jailbreak might not
work. So please do a fresh install of iOS 8.1.
Step
4: Disable
Passcode from Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and turn off Find my iPhone
from Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone.
Step
5: Please
launch the application as an Administrator. Right Click on the Pangu exe and
select the “Run as Administrator” option.
Step
6: The
application is in Chinese, and if you don’t have the required Chinese fonts on
your laptop, you might see question marks instead of Chinese text.
Step
7: Uncheck
the checkbox on the left that says “PP” and then click on the blue Jailbreak
button.
Step
8: You’ll
see the progress of the jailbreak, and the current stage in the 6 step
jailbreak process.
Step
9: You’ll see
that your device tells you there’s a restore in progress. Wait for your device
to reboot several times. The entire process should take around 5 to 10 minutes.
Step
10: After
the jailbreak process completes, you’ll see a Pangu app on your device. This
confirms that your device is jailbroken. While there’s no Cydia, you can
install OpenSSH, and a few other tools to play around with the jailbroken iOS
device’s file system. Or Follow this link for more information.
That is all!!
