Jailbreak iOS 9.0.2 - TaiG and Pangu: iPhone 6S, iPad Pro [Update]

Jailbreak iOS 9 Untethered Update; TaiG, iH8sn0w, Pangu or K33n, How to Jailbreak iOS 9.0 following Release? - Today, ensuing iOS 9’s release, let’s discuss the future of jailbreaking, particularly where iOS 9.0.2 is concerned. In spite of the latest TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.4 having been patched by Apple’s 8.4.1 release last month, developers on the jailbreak scene are already looking to the future as iOS 8.x becomes a set of firmware releases from the past. First, before we talk about a potential iOS 9 jailbreak, it’s important to realize the release timeframe for the first installment of Apple’s next major mobile operating system. iOS 9 was first unveiled at Apple’s 2015 WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) in June, since then the firmware has gone through five developer-exclusive betas and three public beta releases before being issued to the public on September 16^th. With Apple’s September 9^th having recently passed, the company unveiled not only the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, but also the much-rumored iPad Pro and iPad mini 4, as well as the Apple TV 4, all of which (save the latter) are crucial when predicting the release of the next jailbreak. However, before skipping ahead to future devices, we have a lot to discuss first. Continue past the break for more on iOS 9 and jailbreaking!

Jailbreak iOS 9.0.2 Predictions!

The above video from popular iOS YouTuber iCrackUriDevice highlights the latest updates in the realm of jailbreaking pertaining to iOS 9.0.2 - see corresponding ‘Update 4’ below.

To summarize, iOS 9 is now readily available to the public (in the form of 9.0, 9.0.1 and 9.0.2), as Apple first released the firmware on September 16^th.

Since then, as alluded to, the company has released two minor iOS 9 updates to the public, being the new iOS 9.0.2 and 9.0.1 firmwares.

iOS 9, Rootless and iPhone 6S Jailbreaking

It’s also important to understand that regardless of the challenges both iOS 9 and its “Rootless” security designation and the new iPhones pose, neither are truly un-jailbreakable. As we’ve discussed before, “Rootless” is simply the internal name Apple dubbed their security improvements in iOS 9 through 9.0.2 and, although said improvements make jailbreaking substantially require a significant amount of creativity on jailbreak developers’ parts, it’s not impossible!

Like last year, we need Apple’s latest round of iOS devices to be released, and preferably several minor performance and bug fix iOS updates, prior to the release of a new jailbreak.

iOS 9.0.2 Jailbreakers: TaiG, Pangu and K33N

However, unlike last year, instead of simply having Pangu on the jailbreak scene, we also have TaiG, a group who brought us the past two jailbreak utilities. Moreover, a security team by the name of K33N also vowed to aid in the creation of an iOS 9 jailbreak and stated that they’re keen (pun intended) on the idea of teaming up with Pangu to accomplish such a feat.

Pangu’s iOS 8.4.1 Jailbreak Intended for iOS 9?

Also, with TaiG having created jailbreaks for both iOS 8.1.x and iOS 8.3 through iOS 8.4, it’s allowed Pangu enough time to create an entirely new jailbreak utility! In fact, Pangu even went as far as to jailbreak 8.4.1 at a security conference. However, given that the group hasn’t released the tool for iOS 8.4.1, it’s safe to say they’ve determined that select vulnerabilities utilized may persist in the latest iOS 9 betas, causing them to hold off on a release for 8.4.1 - more great news!

Looking back to last year, Pangu opted to wait until Apple’s new line of iPads were released in October before pushing out their utility. Depending on what happens with the iPad Pro and iPad mini 4, the three groups currently involved in jailbreaking may ultimately come to a similar conclusion.

Pangu Publishes iOS 8.4.1 Pre 9.0.2 Jailbreak Exploits!

Update 1 (Sept. 8^th): In an interesting move, Pangu published several important iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak exploits on September 8^th, likely because the group is committed to developing a new tool for iOS 9.0.2 instead of devoting resources to 8.4.1.

iH8sn0w Jailbreaks iOS 9 - ‘Rootless’ Cracked!

Update 2 (Sept. 15^th). Recently hacker iH8sn0w publicized a video of him jailbreaking iOS 9 Untethered! However, before getting too excited, just note that the hacker has absolutely no plans of releasing a his work. Moreover, due to the nature of the low-level exploit used in his jailbreak, support is limited to non-64-bit devices (i.e. it would only work on anything older than the iPhone 5s). Having said that, iH8sn0w has effectively proved the “rootless” iOS 9 security can be cracked, though the task was substantially harder than the current jailbreaks we’ve received in the form of public tools!

iOS 9 Released, What Will Jailbreakers in 2015 Do?

Update 3 (Sept. 20^th): A mere four days ago, Apple issued iOS 9 to the general public, a firmware that will change the face of jailbreaking forever!

Update 4 (Sep. 30^th): Apple issued the latest iOS 9.0.x update in the form of 9.0.2 to the masses, which is focused on correcting minor bugs and complications with iOS 9. Moreover, following the release of iOS 9.0.2, Apple also closed the signing window for both iOS 9.0 and iOS 8.4.1, effectively putting an end to iOS 9 downgrades.

Jailbreak iOS 9 Summary (TL;DR)

So, tl;dr, what does all of this mean? If we were to give an optimistic timeframe for the release of a new iOS 9.0.2 jailbreak, it would between the iPhone 6S’ release and the end of October., based on the route the jailbreak developers decide to take concerning the new iPads. Remember, iOS 9.0.2’s increased security measures may also push the timeframe back from the end of September into October.
