Jailbreak Released for iOS 8.1.2

---

A jailbreak of iOS 8.1.1 and iOS 8.2 beta and 8.1.2 has just been released by TaiG.

MuscleNerd confirmed the jailbreak over Twitter; however, he warns that you should probably wait a couple days before attempting.

Looks like TaiG just released a jailbreak for 8.1.1 (and 8.0,8.1,8.2beta). Best to wait a few days just in case

TaiG was part of the controversial iOS 7 jailbreak from the Evad3rs. The jaibreak included the TaiG 'app store' for cracked apps by default in China. Following an outcry from the community the evad3rs responded by updating their jailbreak tool to remove TaiG. They also posted a letter to the community saying "we are deeply sorry and embarrassed about the piracy that was seen today".

It's unclear what comes bundled with the TaiG jailbreak that has just been released. We are looking into it and will update this article shortly. It's also unclear as to who is actually behind the exploits used for the jailbreak.

If the jailbreak proves legitimate and safe, we will be posting tutorials shortly!

TaiG notes that the new version of the utility, 1.2.0, supports all devices running iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.2.

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s on iOS 8.0 - 8.1.2 using TaiG for Windows...

If you aren't already at iOS 8.1.1 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.1.1 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iPhone. Please note that you must update using iTunes rather than Software Update. If you used Software Update you should do a backup then restore to iOS 8.1.1 using iTunes.

Step One
Create an iClarified folder on your desktop and download the latest version of TaiG into the folder. If your download is a zip file then extract the archive into the same folder.

Step Two
Tap Settings from your Springboard then select Touch ID & Passcode. Turn Passcode Off if it is enabled.

Step Three
Press the Settings button at the top left to return to the Settings menu. Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPhone from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPhone switch is the Off position

Step Four
Connect your iPhone to the computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, and perform a manual backup. It is very important that you remember to backup your device before continuing as you could lose your data if the jailbreak process does not complete successfully.
Step Five
Double click the TaiGJBreak executable from the iClarified folder on your desktop to launch the application.
Step Six
You will notice the device is detected by the software. Uncheck the bottom checkbox to prevent the TaiG App Store from being installed then click the large Green button to begin your jailbreak.


Step Seven
The TaiG app will now begin the jailbreak process.


Step Eight
Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, you will be shown a green smilie face, your iPhone will reboot and a Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!
