iOS 8.1.1 kills Pangu untethered jailbreak


Apple releases iOS 8.1.1 to developers several hours ago, and the Pangu Team officialy announced the bad news, that the iOS update killed the jailbreak on the new version.

NOTE: THIS MEANS, YOU HAVE 1-2 WEEK OR LESS, TO JAILBREAK YOUR IDEVICE, ON IOS 8.1!


The Weibo message translation, courtesy of Reddit user illusiomist:
Apple has released iOS 8.1.1 beta to developers. After our tests, it has patched the jailbreak exploit. Anyone who wish to jailbreak, please seize the chance to upgrade to iOS 8.1 and do so before Apple officially releases iOS 8.1.1.

So what does it mean for jailbreakers?
It means that devices running iOS 8.1.1 won’t be able to run the jailbreak in its current state. We can always hope the Pangu Team has other tricks up its sleeves and may come with other ways to jailbreak iOS 8.1.1, but the message posted on Weibo by Daniel_K4 doesn’t seem to let any of that hope shine between the words.

If you’re already running iOS 8.1, and you’re already jailbroken, then it seems that your best bet is to enjoy what you have now and make sure you do not update to iOS 8.1.1 once it is released.
If you aren’t running iOS 8.1 yet, then this might be your last chance to update now and jailbreak using the latest version of Pangu.

We still recommend you proceed with caution. We will of course keep you updated of any new development.
