The Chinese developer team called Pangu has struck again. The team that originally jailbroke iOS 7.1 has just released their tool to jailbreak iOS 8.1.
In a similar fashion to their old toolkit, you just need to download it, plug in your iPhone/iPad, and then click the jailbreak button and viola! Jailbroken. Now, in a slightly less similar fashion to their old toolkit, though, you’ll need to manually install Cydia after (but it’s not hard, don’t worry).
Some caveats before we begin. Make sure you have backed up your device in iTunes (and maybe even backup all your photos, too) before you begin, and since this is such an early release, keep in mind that most jailbreak tweaks just won’t work yet (but that’ll change as developers begin to update their tweaks).
Finally, this does require Windows, so you need a Windows computer to use this original version of the toolkit (a newer version is most likely in the works for Mac soon, I’m sure). If you don’t have Windows, you can either install a Windows virtual machine on your Mac, borrow a friend’s Windows computer, or sit tight and wait for the new kit to be released.
Without further ado, here’s how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad running iOS 8.1 and install Cydia!
UPDATE: Pangu has been updated to version 1.1 and now installs Cydia for you, so it’s even easier! Here’s the updated video:
