Prepare For iOS 8.3 Jailbreak And Apple Watch, Proper 8.3 Update Guide

How to Update for Future iOS 8.3 Jailbreak and Apple Watch - Today, a sizable portion of iPhone jailbreakers find that the moment of reckoning is upon them in light of the Apple Watch’s official release in 9 countries. However, prior to being able to fully use the device, one must update their iPhone 5 or higher (including the 5c, 5c, and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) to at least iOS 8.2, if not the current iOS 8.3 public firmware. That poses serious complications for those currently jailbroken on either > iOS 8.1.2 or iOS 8.2 betas 1 or 2 (both are jailbreakable, yet neither support the Apple Watch), as the latest TaiG jailbreak was officially patched by Apple with iOS 8.1.3. Having said that, while i0n1c successfully achieved an Untethered iOS 8.4 jailbreak on the first beta version of the firmware, and both Pangu and TaiG are confirmed to be creating new untethered jailbreak iOS 8.3 utilities, what about right now? Currently, as of writing this article, a jailbreak doesn’t exist for either of the aforementioned public firmwares that support Apple’s hottest post-PC wearable, so for those of you who already purchased the device and plan on receiving it either today or in the near future, you’ll need to leave the comfort of your jailbreak and update to iOS 8.3 - but like most things in life, there’s a right way and a wrong way to update. In light of that glaring fact, we’re going to guide you through the proper update procedure in today’s article - make the jump past the break to learn how to properly update to iOS 8.3 with the intent of jailbreaking when a new utility is released.

How to Update To iOS 8.3 For The Future Jailbreak


First, it’s also important to mention that this guide is multifaceted in nature, as it will also serve those seeking to update to iOS 8.3 in the future once a new jailbreak is made available.

Also, as for the rumors swirling around the jailbreak blogosphere suggesting that iOS 8.2 will be jailbroken before 8.3 and to avoid the latest release, that’s simply not the case. While iOS 8.3 does close security vulnerabilities, they were left over from the original TaiG jailbreak that Apple simply left unattended when the company patched TaiG with 8.1.3, i.e. they’re not new vulnerabilities and TaiG and/or Pangu wouldn’t issue a new jailbreak without supporting the latest firmware (in this case iOS 8.3).

Avoid OTA Update To Jailbreak 8.3

For those of you currently unjailbroken who intend on both updating your iPhones to iOS 8.3, or even iPads and iPod touches for that matter, and jailbreaking, you must avoid Apple’s built-in over-the-air (OTA for short) update feature, as OTA updates are known to cause severe complications with jailbreaks. In laymen’s terms, an OTA update simply ‘replaces’ what’s changed from the starting firmware to the one a device is updating to and doesn’t fully update the device, which can lead to random and sporadic issues post-jailbreak - follow today’s guide to ensure said issues don’t happen to you and your device.

Update To iOS 8.3: Apple Watch Jailbreak 8.3

To preface, as always, it’s important that you check and verify that you do indeed have a current backup of your data (even if you followed the corresponding step in this tutorial), as iTunes might not have backed-up your device properly the first time around. Finally, without further ado, let’s delve into the proper iOS 8.3 update procedure for those who intend to jailbreak on 8.3.

Step 1. Plug your iPhone into your computer via a standard lightning USB cable and launch iTunes.

Step 2. Navigate to the device overview portion of iTunes’ interface and initiate the backup process to ensure that all of your data is retained.

Step 3. Click the restore button, iTunes will then download the corresponding iOS 8.3 IPSW for your device (ensure that you proceed through the download prompts) and automatically proceed with the restore process. This method is the preferred update option as it essentially wipes the entire OS and re-installs it, leaving less room for potential post-iOS 8.3 jailbreak complications.

Step 4. Inside of iTunes, click the button to restore from backup and let iTunes do the rest (while it goes without saying, select the latest backup you created while following the first step).

Congratulations, after following four easy steps, you’ve successfully ensured your future ability to jailbreak iOS 8.3 completely free of errors, whilst simultaneously preparing for the brand new Apple Watch - you should now see a new Apple Watch app on your iPhone, and the new Activity app will be unlocked upon connecting your Apple Watch for the first time.

    • Jailbreak Evasion says:

      You’re more than welcome to try creating one.

    • Carlos M Palacios says:

      Why even mention that it’s days away when it’s all BS. Everyone’s on the edge, if given the tools to do it, I probably would have it before next update. It sucks that the world of JBing has come to this

  14. Sir'Docz Herrera says:

  15. Dave Kelly says:

    They need to post when it happens not this constant get ready , do you want it malarkey If we didn’t want it we wouldn’t be constantly reading this worthless updates lol rant over

  16. sau says:

    I do not to be up to date with what apple releases. It is enough for me just to get my 8.3 iOS jailbroken cuz my device is stuck on it and Apple watch is compatible with it. So I think it is time to release the new utilities to get our new phones jailbroken. What do you think folks?

  17. Hassan Abeed says:

    8.2 jailbreak released or not????

  18. Áron Erd?s says:

    I don’t think so, that jailbreak for 8.1.3, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 will be available before June. :-/ Every posts about jailbreak for those iOS versions only for LIKE!

  19. Ernesto Avila Jr. says:

    what about iPhone 4s???

  20. Kashif Mirani says:

    when ????

  21. Amd Raihan Radeon says:

    I need ios 8.1.3 jailbreak

  22. Ic0n1c says:

    I believe that the issue everyone should worry about is that by the time TaiG and/or Pangu actually finds an exploit and actually comes out with a jailbreak for 8.3 (because let’s face it, it would actually be worthless making it for 8.1.3 or 8.2) 8.4 would already be out and Apple would have stopped signing 8.2 and 8.3 so those like me who are currently jailbroken on 8.1.2 who wants to get the latest jailbreak and who has ordered the apple watch would get stuck being on 8.1.2! It’s a headache but it’s taking so long that this is what I feel the outcome is going to be!! Icrackurdevice if you listen to your members and make the next video you should mention something kind of what you think on this matter. Thanks ic0n1c out.

  23. ???? ???? ??????? says:

    What to do if I had already updated my iPhone to 8.3 usiany OTA?

  31. Michel says:

    If I update by this guide, Will I lose all my apps, progress etc.?

    • John says:

      No, but any apps downloaded through Cydia or other repositories will be gone. Your progress in your apps as well. Your legally obtained stuff along with settings, contacts, notes, recordings, etc. Those will be retained. Only apps, files and such that can only be obtained through jailbreak will be gone.

  40. Ezekiel says:

    I really hope we don’t get jailbreak-blocked by Apple again. #waiting

    • John says:

      We will always be jailbreak blocked. That’s why Apple makes patches; to do just that. What we can do, is to update to new firmware, get the jailbreak before they make the patch, and then to stay on the older firmware to prevent losing the jailbreak.

  41. Omid Namdar Zangeneh says:

    Please release 8.3 jb as soon as possibele, tnx

  47. Ron ErtlGuy King says:

    When the JB comes out, I won’t be able to use it on my 4s?

  48. vitor says:

    I really like this site for news, but it does not speak English very well …. and I could not understand some parts, could someone tell me, when you leave the JB for ios 8.3?

    • Murkie says:

      the problem is that he speaks/writes english too well and makes some things confusing.

    • John says:

      I think it’s that your English ability isn’t good enough. Judging from your comment, I don’t think your skill is par with evasi0njailbreaks writing. Of course this article isn’t perfect, as there are some grammatical errors, but a person with decent English skill would be able to understand it. Probably why you’re the only one complaining.

      • vitor says:

        you have reason, it even used google, after all, that’s why I asked if there would be a jb or not: P if the opposite myself would have read in full.

      • Evasion Admin says:

        No, John, there isn’t a single grammatical error in this post - the same cannot be said for your comment though 😛
