The team behind the Pangu jailbreak stopped using a bug discovered by i0n1c in the latest version of their utility, apparently burning another exploit in the process.
Many were already upset that the team released a jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1; rather than saving the exploits used for a potential iOS 8 jailbreak.
At the time of initial release I0n1c declared, "if pangu team releases a public jailbreak with vulnerabilities disclosed to them during my training I consider this in no way okay." It turns out the team was using his vulnerability.
Commenting on the update MuscleNerd said, "Don’t see that often! Pangu says they replaced some of last week’s exploits with new ones in today’s 1.1 update."
I0n1c said, "Hilarious so the guys from Pangu want to re-release their jailbreak and do not use my bugs? So they finally admit their actions were bad. The JB scene will love them for wasting even more bugs on something unimportant like a .1 upgrade."
He also noted that that jailbreak still uses functions of his: "So new Pangu most probably kills more bugs, which is a shame because they needlessly killed various infoleaks from the training. But new Pangu is still linked against my code and has my watermarked functions in it..."

If the whole point in saving an exploit is so we'll get a JB sooner for the major iOS releases, then why does it still take so long for a JB to be released?

Love My IPhone - July 1, 2014 at 5:14am
Had to say jst a few quick things. Many people forget since the jb last year, so many people have bought new iPhones since & with newer iOS versions on them they have to wait 6-9 months or even more till the next new iPhone release & jailbreak while being teased by dev team with videos showing they have their iPhones jb with the newer iOS versions out making the rest of us wait due to no fault of our own. I bought my 5S in February at an att store and it came with 7.0.3 so I was lucky but if I had to wait till near Xmas to jb it I would be pissed. Hint: if buying a new iPhone it's better to get from att, etc rather than apple as phones from Apple will always be updated before you get it. I'm not going to use the new jb as there's no need to for me but again I was lucky when I bought mine. I'm on the fence as to whether it should have been released but if I wasn't already jb I would be happy it came out. Please people be kind to each other on here.

That's the problem with the new "security researchers" that develops the jailbreak tools, they want to keep these exploits as long as they can instead of taking it as a challenge to explore or find new ones if another is/was burned. Come on, lets all be real! Not everyone have the talent or expertise to find an exploit but thats were all these people (security researchers) are for. Everyone have different talents & expertise and if you stay on the same level as you were even a year ago, then you are not progressing. Just take as a challenge and move on. Create/discover new ones.

bjadams - June 30, 2014 at 7:45am
you make a jailbreak for iphone users to use and enjoy. there is little use making a jailbreak and keeping it for yourself, just showing a video of it in action. Why all this hate towards Pangu? they are not charging us $ for this jb

because thanks to them we'll have to wait longer for a public iOS 8 jailbreak. all for what? for the silly guys who got their phone on 7.1 instead of sticking to a 7.0.x device. is it worth it? no.

If you don't want your exploits being used, stop using them in your trainings! This was bound to happen one day if you hand out exploits to everyone who attends them...

Whatever. A jailbreak is a jailbreak. Oh well who cares :P i'm just happy i'm jailbroken. And at least one person will make it possible to jailbreak all iOS versions no mater how many vulnerabilities are patched. Either way, its all possible...

JustMe - June 30, 2014 at 3:08am
I agree with you both (releasing and saving for later use) but, you know apple.. once they release an update (iOS 8) it's only a matter of hours and they will close the window to update on the previous iOS (7.1.1) there's no going back. We also know apple copies/barrows ideas from jb community and integrates its on future release. Sooner or later all nice tweaks will be on iOS x.x and probably, people will stick and wont jailbreak anymore. imo, if a chance given, why not release if it is safe and secure.

One thing i hate about the jb scene is all the drama queenery.

odedoo1 - June 30, 2014 at 1:03am
I've been jail breaking since my iPhone 1 like 7 years ago, back then a jailbreak came out every 2 weeks ( it was easy ) now Apple is making it hard hence the drama.

Zanka - June 30, 2014 at 5:34am
Ok well it's not apple I'm referring to. Besides with apple slowly but surely applying many of the same tweaks found in cydia these last few ios releases, if they keep going I'm sure many including myself will have little reason to care anymore about jbing anyways.

johnb - June 30, 2014 at 12:53am
who care, if u find a way to jb y not release it. y bother waiting for ios 8 to come out. You know Apple release iOS almost every qtr or so. if so, y don't just wait for iOs 20 to come out cuz u know iOs 20 will be more better than iOs 8 hahahhaha

odedoo1 - June 30, 2014 at 12:52am
What they are doing is releasing clean jailbreaks so everybody will trust them and when people will stop checking that's when they will strike and release a jailbreak full of malwares and who know what else.

Oh yea I want to see you wait for a half a year for a jailbreak like some of this people here did and then we won't hear a sound from you about irony.

joe - June 30, 2014 at 12:05am
What a joke...who cares? Yeah maybe its better to save the exploits for larger updates, but if you have a problem with it, fins your own and save them for later. Free country... JB community is all so sensitive and ridiculous haha

I agree with you. My iPhone 5S was jailbroken but then an update in Cydia messed it up so bad that only way to make the phone function again was to update to iOS 7.1.1 thus killing the JB. I might not even want the iPhone 6 because of how stupidly big it is going to be. Maybe the biggest one the 5.5" will be worth it as a mini tablet but the 4.7? For sure not! Not everyone is big with big hands. Apple should have stayed with one small one and released the bigger one as a mini mini tablet. To me Pangu is a kind considerate helpful blessing that I am thankful to because I hate my un-JB iPhone 5S.

Really wish this didn't come out at all, it's a shame to know that I'll probably have to wait longer for an iPhone 6 iOS 8 JB because of this

amamartin999 - June 30, 2014 at 5:27am
I cant afford the 6 anyway, I just go the iphone 4, i wanted jailbreak.

Johnb - June 30, 2014 at 11:48am
When iOS 8 out for iPhone 6, it just a minor patch. U should told jb dev to hold off for iOS 10 for iPhone 6 jb.

Johnb - June 30, 2014 at 11:53am
But then iPhone 7 will come out and ppl when iPhone 7 will bit.ch at u for having jb dev to release latest iOS hahahaha story never end
