iOS 8 Beta is Likely Jailbreakable!

Stefan Esser, a hacker known as i0n1c, reports that the just released iOS 8 beta is likely jailbreakable.

Download finished. Initial tests show that iOS 8 beta does not fix anything. Dumped kernel fine, but code changed and patches are not found.

I guess tomorrow I need a few hours in the office to fix the code and then the JB should be iOS 8 beta compatible.

Only question is if Cydia runs at all in iOS 8.

I0n1c demoed his jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1 last month. He has yet to confirm whether he will release a public jailbreak; however, it would make logical sense to wait until iOS 8 is officially released so as to not burn any exploits.

The jailbreak community's relationship with Apple often creates interest and drama that serves as a marketing tool for both.

It's not like apple is acting like it's April fools day.

Why even say anything if your not going to release any time soon i dont get it

no need for jailbreak anymore, moved on to a better World, no more iphone for me.

Lol it's funny you say that, I just did the same although I'll still be using my iphone every and then, so I'm still excited.

Bet you mean jailbreakable making hack easier for others. Why jailbreak when there is enough to enjoy, it's like begging for a raise.

Doesn't make sense for ios 8 JB. If he doesn't succeed we won't be able to revert back to ios 7.1.1 which he claims Jailbroken. We all have to update to ios 8 than.

we dont really need jailbreak anymore :)

Talk for yourself. It's not only small little features that apple has integrated. It's complete freedom about what you want or not on your device. I DO need Jailbreak for certain things.

-Control center is nice but needs more customization. -BiteSMS is 10000x better (though will be interested to see the new quick reply apple developed) -Swipe Select keyboard for scrolling is the tiniest tweak but so very useful. -Springtomize lets me customize enough of the little things I don't need winterboard. Maybe in about 2-3 years when apple can integrate those ideas then we can stop jailbreaking.

Uh yes we do. I need my jailbreak tweaks, even if Apple is allowing certain access to the API

If the only available package was Barrel, I would JB just for that not to mention about 50 other reasons. JB is what makes an iPhone way tighter then anything out there.

Looking forward to the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 Jailbreak although it's safe to assume it won't be released in public form from Stefan Esser. His demos of jb are for proof of concept only. Helps him get private jobs.

Can't wait for September!! :)

Definitely should wait until the new iPhone comes out.

He will not release a public jailbreak he is against it. If you followed him you would know this.

gamerscul9870 - June 3, 2014 at 11:03am

Certainly, except for the part about him being against it. It's just warning us someone's doing it, there's a community.
