Pangu is an untethered jailbreak tool initially released for iOS 7.1.1 – iOS 7.1.2, this special tool is designed by Chinese iOS hackers team. As we already provided a post how to perform iOS 7.1.X untethered jailbreak, but now iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 untethered Pangu jailbreak released, As after this jailbreak you have to install Cydia which we will cover in next post. But here is updated list of iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 compatible Cydia apps and tweaks check out the list down here.
The version is not completely smooth, as this tool is in Chinese and for Windows users, and doesn’t contain most demanding Cydia. After this release, saurik give an updated Cydia Substrate (the underlying framework for Cydia tweaks), as outline from Reddit:
So, windknown has contacted me, about a half hour ago, via e-mail. He has told me one of the issues that is keeping Substrate from working on the device, which will probably require me to build a little binary patch for dyld as part of the Substrate installation sequence. This was the worst possible day for me, as I’m traveling back to Santa Barbara today (I’m currently in Texas, having come here to give a talk at The Big Android BBQ), which means this will take me a little longer than I’d like, but clearly getting Cydia and Substrate working on iOS 8 is my highest priority. I thankfully think that I actually can start working a little on one of the Substrate issues using an iOS 7 “model” based on the information provided by windknown, which means I’ll lose less time to not having all of my devices with me. (I currently have no clue why Cydia itself is not functioning, but will find out later today when I can see it myself.)
