TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.1.2 is
currently available for Windows only. But if you are a Mac OS X user, fear not
as here we have detailed steps on how you can use TaiG for Windows on your Mac.
This process involves installing a free test version of Windows 10 in a virtual
machine on a Mac, and then using TaiG for Windows in a virtualized environment
to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.2.
The TaiG jailbreak tool for iOS 8.1.1 is the Apple
devices-related news of the week. Developed by a group of Chinese hackers –
we’ve got the English translation for TaiG – the tool can easily
jailbreak all iPhones, iPads, and the iPod touch (fifth generation) on iOS
8.1.1:
- iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 5s, 5c, 5, 4S
- iPad: 2, 3, 4, Air, Air 2, mini, mini 2, mini 3
- iPod touch: fifth-generation, latest model
TaiG untethered jailbreak guide
Step 1 - Establish connection
between your Windows PC and iOS device by using a USB data cable and then
disable two features, the passcode lock and Find my Phone.
Step 2 - Download the latest TaiG
tool and after extracting it, users are required to launch the tool.
Step 3 - The tool will detect the
iDevice you connected to the PC and it will show you the name of your device on
its interface. You can go ahead by clicking on the green coloured Start button
but before you do that, you need to uncheck the tick mark for 3K Assistant app
installation.
Step 4 - The TaiG tool will begin
with the jailbreaking process, and within few minutes the tool will notify the
user when it finishes successfully.
Step 5 - Now you can start Cydia
on your iDevice and enjoy all the new features.
The team also mentioned in an
interview that a Mac version of the tool is in the works, but they have no idea
when it will be released. Turns out, the TaiG team has finished working on an
iOS 8.2 jailbreak and are waiting for Apple to release it publicly. The current
version does support iOS 8.2, but this function is currently disabled
