Jailbreaking

Jailbreaking (all iOS)

Hey guys, I am an experienced(ish) jailbreaker, and I wanted to ask some questions, and answer some!

First off, if there are any other experienced hackers in iOS Technology, please reply! I'd love to talk to you.

Next, There are jailbreaks for every iOS, including iOS 1 all the way to iOS 8.1.
There is not a jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 as far as I know

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Descending Order From iOS 8 to iOS 1

iOS 8

So, for about a month since iOS 8 was released, people BEGGED for a Jailbreak, well, here it is at last!
Jailbreaking iOS 8.0 to 8.1 is easy with Pangu! Note, the site may be English but the program is Chinese, so be wary and follow directions exactly!
First things first, get the latest version of Pangu, which is not on their website but here (<-- Direct Link, right click if you'd like).

Here are the steps to follow once that is done:
1. Update using a pc/mac so that the OTA update doesn't mess with anything.
1.1 If you are already updated via a update in settings on your device to 8.1, you'll need to make a backup, and reset your device, then restore from that backup. (you'll need to do steps 3 and 4 to reset)
2. Backup your device via iTunes (Why is iTunes red now?)
3. Go to Settings>Passcode and turn it off. IMPORTANT
4. Go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iDevice and turn it off (you'll need your iTunes Password)
5. Connect your device to your PC if not already done.
6. Open Pangu (yes that is Chinese, and lots of squares)
7. There is a Checkbox next to 'PP' on there, uncheck it.
8. Press the blue button that, if English, would read 'Jailbreak'
9. Keep your device awake by tapping on the screen.
9.1 Your device will reboot about three times.
10. Once it is done, you will have a Pangu Icon on the homescreen at the very end.
10.1 Open Pangu, and at the bottom press manage, then update anything that shows up.
11 Your device is Jailbroken! But, Where's Cydia?

Cydia must be installed through SSH until both Cydia and Pangu are updated to include Cydia with Pangu.
So, I made a tutorial just for people who want Cydia! There are quite a bit of typos, sorry.


Description of Video:
Code:
Install Cydia after jailbreaking iOS 8.0 to 8.1 with Pangu.
You'll need a few things:
Cydia DEBs - http://cache.saurik.com/debs/cydia_1.1.13_iphoneos-arm.deb
http://apt.saurik.com/debs/cydia-lproj_1.1.12_iphoneos-arm.deb
WinSCP - winscp.net
putty - chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
---That's all!---
Make sure you are jailbroken before this video, it doesn't teach that part.
I'm using a PC, Windows 8.1

There you go, you have Cydia now!

iOS 7
If you are on iOS 7.0 to 7.0.4, you can jailbreak here. Note though, that you will need a fast computer to finish the part of "Configuring System (2/2)" (although it will get stuck there for about 2 minutes on every computer).
WARNING: Do not try to Jailbreak any iOS 7 device if you updated to iOS 7.x from your device. Go into iTunes, backup your device, and then press "Restore From Backup" so that it re-installs iOS 7 from your PC, feel free to Jailbreak it after that.

UPDATE!
iOS 7.0 - 7.1.2 is jailbreakable alternatively! Download the program here or on mac here.
NOTE: Read all notes about iOS 7 above, and remember to backup and restore your iDevice before jailbreaking.
With Pangu, you'll need to know how to use the program, especially with it being Chinese.
1. Backup, and restore iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch with iOS 7.0 - 7.1.2
2. Plug in the device.
3. Open Pangu
4. Uncheck any checkboxes/checkcircles
5. Click the blue ???? button to start the jailbreak.
6. At about half-way, you'll need to open the Pangu app on your device.
7. Leave the app open until your device restarts.
8. Open the app again.
9. It'll restart a few times, open the Pangu app until you finally see Cydia next to, or in-place of the Pangu App.
10. If you still see it, delete the Pangu app.

iOS 6 and Less
If you are on an older version of iOS, go to the evasi0n homepage and try evasi0n7 on it. It might work, but I haven't tried it. You might try going to jailbrea.kr to find more links to jailbreak it.

I can for sure tell you that if you are on an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, iPad 1, or iPhone 3 and below, you are on iOS 5.1.1 With redsn0w you can jailbreak every iOS 5.1.1 Device.

Anything lower than iOS 5 should be able to be Jailbroken from the device, on Safari here.

More info at jailbrea.kr

Good topic!

I do a lot of jailbreaking too, for myself and friends.
 
It is now safe do the Jailbreak in IOS 7 for iPhones 5S, is compatible with 64-bit architecture
 
at first I had no idea how to jailbreak, but then I tried it on my mobile expecting any obstacles, and happened smoothly and now they made it SO easy to jailbreak any OS! its just a click away.
 
UPDATE!
iOS 7.0 - 7.1.2 is now jailbreakable! Download the program here or on mac here.
NOTE: Read all notes about iOS 7 above, and remember to backup and restore your iDevice before jailbreaking.

Updated!
 

Uh ya. Did you think to warn a head of time about pangu being in another language? At least what I saw last it was.
Maybe not now but I didn't download it to see. And all this is after another site already releases this info. So if you're gonna compete with a help topic, at least spruce it up with some images of what's going on. Not knocking you. Just sayin.
