Taig Jailbreak V2.1.2
Bernd Manison
Hacker group TaiG updated their jailbreak tool for the new iOS 8.1.2 firmware version. With the help of TaiG 1.2.0 you can perform untethered iOS 8.1.2 jailbreak of the iPhone and iPad with a few clicks.
We posted before that Apple already working on the next update, version iOS 8.2. For the first time there should be support for the Apple Watch. This firmware already closed vulnerabilities used in the TaiG jailbreak. However, the creators of the TaiG Jailbreak stated that they have all exploits to bring the iOS 8.2 jailbreak.
TaiG (Taiji in Chinese) (/taɪ dʒi/ or /taɪ tʃi/) is an untethered jailbreak for all devices on iOS 8.0-8.4, except the Apple TV and Apple Watch. It was initially released on 29 November 2014 for 8.0 - 8.1.2 but since updated to support 8.1.3 - 8.4.
At some point of time, all TaiG download links have been made not working, rendering this jailbreak method unavailable. Even you can get one from a mirror, the application will still try to access TaiG server which is no longer running.
***EDIT2: After restarting my computer, V.2.3.1 finished downloading and the jailbreak was a success. I guess there was an issue with my own computer. Also, another technique that could possibly work for you is to disable your antivirus/adblocker before download TaiG.
To reaffirm what was stated above, this tutorial will assist you in the simple, and mostly one-click, jailbreak iOS 8.1 through 8.1.2 process, which thankfully installs Cydia for the easy acquisition of third-party tweaks.
3. The latest version of iTunes, as well as the new 1.2.0 version of TaiG jailbreak 8.1.2 tool, both of which can be found, and fully downloaded, from the download section listed below.
Finally, as one concluding note either pre or post-jailbreak, for those of you interested in earning the best paid iOS 8.1.2 App Store apps, gift cards and electronic devices on iOS 8 through 8.1.2 for free, we recommend downloading Free App Life inside Safari on your iOS-based device, regardless of its firmware and jailbreak status.
Thank you for reading, and following, our comprehensive jailbreak 8.1.2 via TaiG tutorial. As always, we appreciate the support - to thank us please like us Facebook or Retweet on Twitter and keep your browsers locked to Evasi0n Jailbreak for subsequent jailbreak guides.
Hi there, i have a question. My iphone5 still runs on ios 7.0.x with jb.
Now i want to update it to 8.1.2 because this one is still jailbreakable.
But is this possible because 8.1.3 and 8.2 is released.
So can i update it to another ios version before the last 2 or have i to wait till one one those two lasts can be broken?
will not work at all.
iOS 8.1.2 on iPhone 6 plus
think because 64 bit computer. will not find drivers and wants iTunes installed.
have installed iTunes twice now with no change.
TaiG checks jailbreak environment then says no drivers.
Step 1. Confirm that iTunes has been updated to the latest version by launching the Mac App Store and checking for available updates. Download the latest PPGhost for iOS 8 jailbreak utility, which is tailored for Mac OS X, found below.
Step 4. Enter Airplane mode on your device, this step is very important, confirm that both passcode and Find my iPhone are disabled (as stated above), uncheck the box in the bottom left of the foreign interface and click the button in the bottom left to proceed with the jailbreak.
On Apple devices running iOS and iOS-based[a] operating systems, jailbreaking is the use of a privilege escalation exploit to remove software restrictions imposed by the manufacturer. Typically it is done through a series of kernel patches. A jailbroken device permits root access within the operating system and provides the right to install software unavailable through the App Store. Different devices and versions are exploited with a variety of tools. Apple views jailbreaking as a violation of the end-user license agreement and strongly cautions device owners not to try to achieve root access through the exploitation of vulnerabilities.[1]
While sometimes compared to rooting an Android device, jailbreaking bypasses several types of Apple prohibitions for the end-user. Since it includes modifying the operating system (enforced by a "locked bootloader"), installing non-officially approved (not available on the App Store) applications via sideloading, and granting the user elevated administration-level privileges (rooting), the concepts of iOS jailbreaking are therefore technically different from Android device rooting.
Expanding the feature set that Apple and its App Store have restricted is one of the motivations for jailbreaking.[2] Apple checks apps for compliance with its iOS Developer Program License Agreement[3] before accepting them for distribution in the App Store. However, the reasons for Apple to ban apps are not limited to safety and security and may be regarded as arbitrary and capricious.[4] In one case, Apple mistakenly banned an app by a Pulitzer-Winning cartoonist because it violated its developer license agreement, which specifically bans apps that "contain content that ridicules public figures."[5] To access banned apps,[6] users rely on jailbreaking to circumvent Apple's censorship of content and features. Jailbreaking permits the downloading of programs not approved by Apple,[7] such as user interface customization and tweaks.
Since software programs available through APT and or Installer.app (legacy) are not required to adhere to App Store guidelines, many of them are not typical self-contained apps but instead are extensions and customization options for iOS and its features and other apps (commonly called tweaks).[8] Users install these programs for purposes including personalization and customization of the interface using tweaks developed by developers and designers,[8] adding desired features such as access to the root file system and fixing annoyances,[9] and making development work on the device easier by providing access to the file system and command-line tools.[10][11] Many Chinese iOS device owners also jailbreak their phones to install third-party Chinese character input systems because they are easier to use than Apple's.[12]
Cybercriminals may jailbreak an iPhone to install malware or target jailbroken iPhones on which malware can be installed more easily. The Italian cybersecurity company Hacking Team, which sells hacking software to law enforcement agencies, advised police to jailbreak iPhones to allow tracking software to be installed on them.[21][22]
On iOS devices, the installation of consumer software is generally restricted to installation through the App Store. Jailbreaking, therefore, allows the installation of pirated applications.[23] It has been suggested that a major motivation for Apple to prevent jailbreaking is to protect the income of its App Store, including third-party developers and allow the buildup of a sustainable market for third-party software.[24] However, the installation of pirated applications is also possible without jailbreaking, taking advantage of enterprise certificates to facilitate the distribution of modified or pirated releases of popular applications.[25]
A package manager or package-management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs. For jailbreaks, this is essential for the installation of third-party content. There are a few package managers specifically for jailbroken iOS devices, of which the most popular are Cydia, Sileo, Zebra and Installer 5.
Once a device is jailbroken, the built-in security is compromised due to the vast amount of kernel patches that go into building the tool. Security structures like Apple Mobile File Integrity, Sandbox, Read-Only Root File system, and trusted apps get disabled or otherwise tampered with, to achieve the goals of the jailbreaking tool. This, in turn, creates potential security issues for the user of a jailbroken device.
In March 2021, jailbreak developer GeoSn0w[26] released a tweak called iSecureOS which can alert the users of security issues found on their devices. The application works akin to antivirus software, in that it scans the files on the user's device and checks them against a database of known malware or unsafe repos.
In June 2021, ESET Research confirmed that malware did exist on one of the piracy repositories in the jailbreak community. The malware actively targeted iSecureOS to try to bypass the detection,[27] but updates to the security app were quickly released and have mitigated the malware.
Where Android rooting and jailbreaking are similar is that both are used to grant the owner of the device superuser system-level privileges, which may be transferred to one or more apps. However, unlike iOS phones and tablets, nearly all Android devices already offer an option to allow the user to sideload 3rd-party apps onto the device without having to install from an official source such as the Google Play store.[28] Many Android devices also provide owners the capability to modify or even replace the full operating system after unlocking the bootloader, although doing this requires a factory reset.[29][30][31]
When a jailbroken device is booting, it loads Apple's own boot software initially. The device is then exploited and the kernel is patched every time it is turned on. An untethered jailbreak is a jailbreak that does not require any assistance when it reboots up. The kernel will be patched without the help of a computer or an application.[34] These jailbreaks are uncommon and take a significant amount of reverse engineering to create. For this reason, untethered jailbreaks have become much less popular, and Fugu14[35] is currently the only jailbreak that supports recent iOS versions.
A tethered jailbreak is the opposite of an untethered jailbreak, in the sense that a computer is required to boot the device. Without a computer running the jailbreaking software, the iOS device will not be able to boot at all. While using a tethered jailbreak, the user will still be able to restart/kill the device's SpringBoard process without needing to reboot. Many early jailbreaks were offered initially as tethered jailbreaks.
