jailbreak for iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 released iOS 8.1 does not install Cydia yet The good news is that Saurik is currently working on updating Cydia for the iOS 8 – 8.1 jailbreak, as announced on reddit recently, although he didn’t provide any ETA. Saurik explains: 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.) Pangu team removed the download link, likely to fix issues linked to this initial release, but the website still provides information about the jailbreak process, which might be useful to anyone looking to jailbreak their device once a stable version is available. Preparing for the iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 jailbreak As noted on the official Pangu website, it is recommended to update to iOS 8.1 or restore to iOS 8.1 via iTunes before proceeding with the jailbreak process. Over The Air updates can apparently cause problems during the process, and restoring/updating to iOS 8.1 via iTunes seems to be the best option at this time.
