Pangu Demonstrates Jailbreak iOS 8.3 Solution at MOSEC, Release After iOS 8.4? - Yesterday, just days before Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference on Monday, Pangu allegedly demonstrated an iOS 8.3 Untethered jailbreak at a security venue! During the aforementioned Apple-hosted conference, the company will unveil not only iOS 9, but also the next installment to OS X, being OS 10.11. However, for some, WWDC may be overshadowed by the jailbreak 8.3 presentation Pangu put on during MOSEC 2015, short for Mobile Security Conference. With Pangu having been all but forgotten by jailbreakers who maintain a short-term mentality when it comes to jailbreak utilities, Pangu is undoubtedly one of the greats. They were not only the first group to jailbreak iOS 8 through 8.1, but prior to that, they rushed to jailbreaker’s rescue last June to issue an iOS 7.1.x jailbreak when we were least expecting it. Is it possible that Pangu may once again save avid…

iOS 8.3 Jailbreak After iOS 8.4’s Release Date And New 0Day 8.4 Jailbreak Exploit?
Jailbreak iOS 8.3 After iOS 8.4’s Release Date, Plus New 0day Jailbreak 8.4 Exploit? - With Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC for short) rapidly approaching, a number of questions are undoubtedly surging through jailbreakers’ minds as each day passes without a new solution to jailbreak iOS 8.3, the current public firmware. However, as we’ve outlined a number of times throughout our articles, iOS 8.3 won’t necessarily be the target of the next jailbreak utility, instead it will be jailbroken by extension with the release of a new tool capable of jailbreaking iOS 8.4 (the successor to iOS 8.3). Having grasped that concept, when will iOS 8.4 make its grand appearance in the form of a public release? That’s a great question - with the latest iOS 8.4 beta firmware (being 8.4 beta 3) having been seeded to developers over three weeks ago on May 11th, 2015, we won’t…
Reboot iPhone Text Message Bug To Expedite Jailbreak iOS 8.3, iOS 8.4 Utility
Power Off, Reboot, iMessage Text to Aid iOS 8.3 Jailbreak for iOS 8.4 - Interestingly, late last evening a string of text went viral that causes an iOS device running 8.0 or higher (including iOS 8.3 and 8.4 beta 3) to appear as though it’s rebooting when a SMS text or iMessage is received containing said text. At this point, chances are good you’ve likely either heard of the aforementioned iOS glitch or experienced it firsthand. For those of you who have yet to test this bizarre phenomenon, you’ll find the exact characters that need be simply copied, pasted and texted to your friends (for testing purposes, of course). When we first caught wind of the mysterious combination of English, Arabic and Unicode characters that don’t play nicely with iOS, we immediately thought of jailbreaking, more specifically the exploitation of iOS 8.3 to create a new jailbreak utility to function pre-…
iOS 9 ‘Rootless’ Security: Jailbreaking Possible After iOS 8.3, iOS 8.4?
Post iOS 8.3 Jailbreak and 8.4, iOS 9’s “Rootless” Security - Yesterday, as the public waits for a new solution to jailbreak iOS 8.3 and the forthcoming iOS 8.4 firmware, interesting reports broke throughout the Apple blogosphere (originating from 9to5Mac) suggesting that iOS 9 will feature a new security initiative from Apple dubbed “Rootless“. While this isn’t the first time we’ve heard tale of increased security measures in the forthcoming iOS 9 release, in fact we recently covered it and dispelled rumors pertaining to the impossibility of jailbreaking post iOS 8.3, we now have additional information (alleged though it may be) as to how Apple may accomplish hindering future jailbreak development. To preface, both TaiG and Pangu have separately confirmed that they’re working on new jailbreak utilities independently (at least from what we know thus far) that are intended for iOS 8, specifically for iOS 8.4. However, as we’ve detailed a…
iOS 8.3 And iOS 8.4 Jailbreak: Where Is It? 8.4’s Release Date After iOS 9 Reveal?
Jailbreak iOS 8.4 and iOS 8.3: Where is it? Release Date After iOS 9 Reveal? - With each passing day, Apple’s annual WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) draws closer and without a new jailbreak utility for iOS 8.3, the jailbreak community has one burning question in mind: “when will we receive a new jailbreak?” While the question is rightly just, TaiG and Pangu’s decision to wait to issue a new jailbreak utility makes sense from a logical standpoint. Quickly summarizing and reiterating the current jailbreak situation, following Apple’s patch of the Pangu8 jailbreak utility for iOS 8.0 through 8.1 with the release of iOS 8.1.1, TaiG swooped in to save the day and issued a brand new tool dubbed TaiGJBreak that functioned on iOS 8.0 through 8.1.1 and, later, iOS 8.1.2 (once Apple released it and failed to close the jailbreak). However, while Apple allowed the TaiG jailbreak 8.1.2 utility…
New Release: iOS 8.4 Beta 3, iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Or iOS 8.4 Jailbreak?
Apple Releases iOS 8.4 Beta 3, iOS 8.3 Jailbreak or iOS 8.4 - Today, as the majority of iOS 8 owners await the creation a new utility to liberate their devices and jailbreak iOS 8.3 (the current latest public firmware), Apple seeded the third beta iteration of iOS 8.4, being 8.4 beta 3, to registered developers. The new developer-exclusive release was issued two weeks following its predecessor’s appearance, with today’s version also available to select pre-determined public beta testers. iOS 8.4 beta 3 carries a minor build number revision over its predecessor of 12H4098c, versus 12H4086d, suggesting very slight revisions when compared to the second beta. Aside from the limited public beta program, today’s 8.4 beta 3 firmware can be downloaded through Apple’s dedicated iOS 8 Developer portal or via iOS’ built-in OTA (over-the-air) update feature for devices running either of the two previous 8.4 beta versions. As for jailbreaking…
Jailbreak Post iOS 8.3 For iOS 9 Impossible? iOS 9 Security Improvements Rumored
Post iOS 8.3, 8.4 Jailbreak for iOS 9 to be Impossible? iOS 9’s Security - Without a new jailbreak utility since January of 2015, those who regrettably updated to or beyond iOS 8.1.3 (the firmware that patched the TaiG jailbreak) are undoubtedly questioning whether a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 will come into fruition prior to the release of either iOS 8.4 or iOS 9. As we highlighted in a recent post, while TaiG and Pangu have both confirmed that they’ll create a new jailbreak, the groups are faced with an incredibly tough decision: to jailbreak 8.3 or jailbreak 8.4. While the answer may sound obvious to those locked out of a jailbreak, it’s not that simple from a strategic standpoint (explained here). But we’re not going to focus on an iOS 8.3 jailbreak in today’s article, we’re here to talk about something that’s potentially much more dire, iOS 9. Apple’s next major…
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Or iOS 8.4 Jailbreak, TaiG And Pangu’s Difficult Decision
Jailbreak iOS 8.3 or iOS 8.4: TaiG and Pangu’s Difficult Decision - It’s no secret that the latest TaiG jailbreak was patched back in January by Apple’s iOS 8.1.3 firmware. Since then, Apple issued multiple updates, being iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, namely to introduce Apple Watch support and revised emoji, respectively. Furthermore, with both of the aforementioned subsequent iOS releases, and with iOS 8.4 having entered its second round of developer beta testing earlier this week, what do we have to look forward to in 2015? Surprisingly, a lot, most prominently a new jailbreak for iOS 8, whether it’s intended to jailbreak iOS 8.3 or 8.4. Interestingly, while iOS 8.4 has already been jailbroken by i0n1c, as we stated in our dedicated coverage on the topic, don’t expect a release from the hacker who only formerly contributed to the jailbreak community - instead, we must turn toward TaiG and…
Apple Released iOS 8.4 Beta 2, Jailbreak iOS 8.3 Or iOS 8.4 More Likely?
iOS 8.4 Beta 2 Released, New Jailbreak iOS 8.3 or iOS 8.4 Tool More Likely? - Today, swiftly following last Friday’s official release of the all-new Apple Watch, the company seeded the second beta iteration of iOS 8.4 to those enrolled in the official iOS developer program for the purpose of testing the next substantial iOS 8 update prior to its inevitable public release. The new iOS 8.4 beta 2 seed comes a mere two weeks following its predecessor’s release, with Apple having redirected their attention last week to the new Watch and its launch. Today’s beta carries a slightly revised build number of 12H4086d, versus the 12H4074d build number of 8.4 beta 1, suggesting only extremely minor revisions. As with all beta releases, today’s 8.4 beta 2 seed can be downloaded via Apple’s dedicated iOS Developer portal or as an OTA (over-the-air) update for those with iOS-based devices running the first 8.4…
Jailbreak iOS 8.4 And iOS 8.3 Achieved, And Teased, By i0n1c - Release Unlikely
iOS 8.4 Jailbreak and iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Achieved by i0n1c, Teaser Hints at Unlikely Release - Earlier today, hacker Stefan Esser (better known online as i0n1c) released a video flaunting his latest alleged achievement: an iOS 8.4 beta 1 jailbreak, which presumably includes its predecessor, the latest public firmware, iOS 8.3. Given that TaiG was patched by Apple with the release of iOS 8.1.3, the public has been in desperate need of a new jailbreak utility to function on and, in turn, jailbreak either iOS 8.3 or the forthcoming iOS 8.4 firmware. However, such a tool will more than likely won’t come into fruition as the result of today’s jailbreak 8.4 teaser video posted by the aforementioned hacker who pulled a similar stunt last year with his so-called, and self-proclaimerd, “cyberelevat0r” jailbreak. For those of you who are either new to the world of jailbreaking or who simply require a…
