iOS 8/iOS 8.1 Untethered Jailbreak: Pangu Team Tweets Status Update

4.5
There is good news for the jailbreak community as the Pangu team has finally broken its silence and revealed the latest progress with its jailbreak development, via its latest official tweet.

Pangu's jailbreak status update comes after a long break, following its initial release of iOS 8 jailbreak and the subsequent bug-fix update.

According to iDownloadBlog, here is what the Pangu team tweeted in response to rising fan queries about the progress being made towards making Cydia compatible with existing iOS 8 jailbreak:


Though a manual version of Cydia update for iOS 8 jailbreak is now available, the Pangu team is working hard with Saurik to roll out a stable Cydia update built into its iOS 8 jailbreak while also working on a fix for iMessage and Safari bugs related to the jailbreak.

There is no word on the ETA for the Pangu jailbreak with integrated Cydia package, as the iOS 8 jailbreak release comes with Chinese origin given the fact that the majority of Chinese citizens do not use Cydia or Mac OS X while installing jailbreaks on their iOS devices.

Consequently, the Pangu team seems to have assigned low priority to these additions to their latest iOS 8 jailbreak.

Interested users can proceed with installing the iOS 8 jailbreak via Mac OS X systems using Windows virtual machine as detailed in our step-by-step guide posted here.

Pangu seems committed to their loyal fans in making Cydia more stable as soon as possible, besides fixing existing bugs with Safari and Messages on devices running iOS 8 jailbreak.

Surprised Apple don't give a reward to the people who find these exploits sort of like what Google does.

Pangu now seems like the new team which releases jailbreak now. Can't wait for this to come out.

They should have waited until it was fully ready... they just pushed early so they could be the first ones to release a JB so they could get more money but besides that still cant wait for it to be fully updated with cydia

I wanna do it but I don't wanna screw up my phone and brick it again.

And it's weird that they could probably make huge bucks if they worked for apple.

That was quick, lol. Now either Apple doesn't care and try to prevent it anymore or, the team is extremely good at what they do.
