The PanGu dev team has been making a name for itself in the iOS realm after they’ve released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1/7.1.1 back in June. The China-based group is at it once again, and this time they take a crack at iOS 8.1 and released an untethered jailbreak for it.

Before you proceed with the hack, bear in mind that we hold no accountability for any damage that this jailbreak will cause to your device. So as with other things that involves tinkering with your device’s OS/software, please proceed with caution and follow the steps down to a “T”.

Prior to jailbreaking, make sure that you back up your device in case something bad happens. Moreover, you need to disable the Passcode or TouchID and Find My iPhone features on your iOS device. These can be done following the simple steps listed below.

Disable Passcode/TouchID: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > turn off Simple Passcode

Disable Find My iPhone: Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone

Now that’s out of the way, we can proceed with the actual jailbreak.

1. Download PanGu for iOS 8 from this link (for Windows only, MAC version is currently not available).

2. Run the PanGu software (Pangu8_v1.0.exe) that you’ve downloaded as Administrator.

3. Plug the supported iDevice that you want to Jailbreak to your Windows PC using a USB cable.

supported devices

4. The software should automatically detect the iDevice that’s connected to your PC. If it didn’t, try to reconnect the USB cable or try a different cable.

5. There’s a checkbox on the left side part of the software’s main dashboard accompanied by Chinese characters. Make sure that it’s unchecked before you proceed.

6. Click on the Blue button to start the jailbreak process.

7. Let the software do its thing. Just make sure that the connection between the device and PC remains as it is during the course of this step.

Pangu

8. Once the status bar on the Pangu software reaches the 5/6 mark, the connected iOS device will reboot. You will need to access the installed Pangu app (pangunew)on your device in order for the software to finish the jailbreak access.

9. Just tap “Trust” on the pop-up notification screen on your iOS device. This will resume the installation on the Pangu software.

10. After this, the Pangu software will reboot your iOS device. Wait for your iDevice to finish doing its thing which should take around a minute or two. Once that’s done and your device booted back up, your device should now be jailbroken!

Do note that this jailbreak doesn’t automatically install Cydia on your device because Saurik has yet to update the utility for iOS 8. But once it’s updated, you should be able to install Cydia on your jailbroken device through the pangunew app that was installed during the jailbreak process.

If you’ve been holding off on upgrading to the latest version of iOS because you’ll lose your Jailbreak stuff, well fret no more because a team of Chinese devs have released a software that can Jailbreak (untethered) supported iDevices running on iOS 7.1 and/or 7.1.1. Head past the break for a quick tutorial on how you can do it.

Before you proceed with the hack, bear in mind that we hold no accountability for any damage that this jailbreak will cause to your device. So as with other things that involves tinkering with your device’s OS/software, please proceed with caution and follow the steps down to a “T”.

1. Download the latest version of PanGu software from this link (for Windows only, MAC version is currently not working).

2. Plug the supported iDevice that you want to Jailbreak to your Windows PC using a USB cable.

3. Install/Run the PanGu software (Pangu_v1.0.exe) that you’ve downloaded.

4. The software should automatically detect the iDevice that’s connected to your PC. If it didn’t try to reconnect the USB cable or try a different cable.

5. There’s a checkbox on the middle part of the software’s main dashboard. Make sure that it’s unchecked before you proceed.

6. Click on the “????” button highlighted in black to start the jailbreak process.

7. Once the process starts, the software will prompt you to adjust a few things on your iOS device. Follow the steps listed on the jailbreak software properly.
> 7.a Go to Settings > General > Date & Time
> 7.b Disable “Set Automatically”
> 7.c Set the device’s date to June 2, 2014
> 7.d The process will automatically resume after you’ve manually set the specific date on your device as describe above.

8. Let the software do its thing which takes roughly around 10-15 minutes, Just make sure that the connection between the device and PC remains as it is during the course of this step.

9. Once the PanGu software’s status bar reaches the 50% mark, you need to open the PanGu app that’s installed on your device. Opening the app will resume the jailbreak process and it should remain opened until the PanGu software finishes the jailbreak process.

10. Upon completion, the software will reboot your device twice and after that you’re all set to install Cydia on your jailbroken iOS device.

Based on countless reports on various forums and threads, the PanGu jailbreak seems to be working just fine without any major repercussions on the jailbroken devices. However, the fact that the PanGu team is fairly new around the circuit makes some iOS device users feel a bit reluctant to try out the jailbreak. Moreover, the mere size of the PanGu software (shy of 80MB) also raises a few concerns over privacy.
