Apple Releases 8.0.1, Is it Possible to Jailbreak 8.0.1 Untethered? Update Breaks Touch ID And Cell Service - Today, exactly one week after releasing iOS 8 to the general public and, in turn, effectively patching the Pangu UnTethered jailbreak, Apple issued the company’s first iOS 8 update in the form of 8.0.1. In addition to being available for immediate download via iOS’ built-in over-the-air (commonly referred to as OTA) update ability, 8.0.1 can be downloaded via iTunes - however, whether your jailbroken or not, all users should avoid 8.0.1 for the time being. Interestingly enough, it appears as though the firmware not only breaks cellular connectivity for a number of iPhone owners, but also causes significant issues with Touch ID. Beyond the rather glaring usability issues though, 8.0.1’s predecessor, 8.0, patches the vulnerabilities exploited by Pangu, rendering the the UnTethered utility useless on the latest firmwares and making it impossible for the public to jailbreak 8.0.1 UnTethered on any device! For more on 8.0.1, as well as jailbreaking, continue reading past the break.
As far as iOS 8.0.1 is concerned, the update comes bearing a revised build number of 12A402 and was intended to improve a number of complicates that afflicted 8.0.
Among the number of bug corrections, 8.0.1 addresses an issue that causes apps to not interface with HealthKit and others that complicate third-party keyboards, the Photo Library, Reachability, videos playing via Safari and more.
With that being said, in light of the aforementioned problems with 8.0.1, being the fact that it breaks cellular connectivity and Touch ID, all iDevice owners should steer clear of updating to 8.0.1 until Apple corrects said problems.

Is it safe for iPods? Like the iPod 5?
As much as I’d LOVE ios8’s jailbreak, I do SO hope that they wait to release it till 8 is much further along or we’ll be stuck with a problematic operating system. No one will want THAT!
Glad I’m on 7.1.2 waiting for 8.x to come out for jailbreaking
