These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s on iOS 8.0 - 8.1.1 using TaiG for Windows...

If you aren't already at iOS 8.1.1 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.1.1 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iPhone. Please note that you must update using iTunes rather than Software Update. If you used Software Update you should do a backup then restore to iOS 8.1.1 using iTunes.

Step One
Create an iClarified folder on your desktop and download the latest version of TaiG into the folder. If your download is a zip file then extract the archive into the same folder.

Step Two
Tap Settings from your Springboard then select Touch ID & Passcode. Turn Passcode Off if it is enabled.

Step Three
Press the Settings button at the top left to return to the Settings menu. Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPhone from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPhone switch is the Off position.

Step Four
Connect your iPhone to the computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, and perform a manual backup. It is very important that you remember to backup your device before continuing as you could lose your data if the jailbreak process does not complete successfully.

Step Five
Double click the TaiGJBreak executable from the iClarified folder on your desktop to launch the application.

Step Six
You will notice the device is detected by the software. Uncheck the bottom checkbox to prevent the TaiG App Store from being installed then click the large Green button to begin your jailbreak.

Step Seven
The TaiG app will now begin the jailbreak process.

Step Eight
Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, you will be shown a green smilie face, your iPhone will reboot and a Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!

*A big thanks to the TaiG team and all the others who contributed to this jailbreak.

Hi friends, I jailbreaked my Iphone 5 with 8.1.1 but in cydia not apps installing even they are compatible with 8.1.1. Is it necessary to instal mobilesubstrate ? Many of the apps saying they depend on mobliesubstrate. Please help me.

after the jailbreak is done can you do a backup to the phone to restore your contacts without it ruining the jailbreak?

Me2 - November 30, 2014 at 4:20am

I agree with you! I was wondering the same thing. Dev team was amazing, same with Geohot. Everything works. I miss those old days.

kiko2014 - November 29, 2014 at 6:37pm

Find my iphone is ON and ipohone is not in boot loop :)

Guest - November 29, 2014 at 6:31pm

Even when you take your iPhone to the Apple Store they now ask you to disable find my iphone and passcode lock in case something goes wrong it could create a boot loop. If you're that paranoid just don't jailbreak in the first place.

help please i don't have a clue what to do? ian

stevenlacross - November 29, 2014 at 3:39pm

That's bascially saying that there's an update to the jailbreak so download the updated version of Taig 1.0.1 for it to work

MythIsMystic - November 29, 2014 at 4:28pm

True, that! I don't know much Chinese. Had the same problem as the guy above. But, used Google Translate with www.taig.com and downloaded the 1.0.1 version. Worked smoothly! Did not know, that 1.0.0 (thru taig_1006.zip) app was suggesting me to download the latest version. It was not detecting my phone at all. But, version 1.0.1 (thru taig_1010.zip) detected the phone right away and with no issue jailbreaking it. All the best.

Asher - November 29, 2014 at 10:21am

Do we *have* to update via itunes?

birdpuk - November 29, 2014 at 10:23am

Yes over the air updates can interfere significantly with the jailbreak

Yasir Khalil - November 29, 2014 at 10:10am

Can the jailbreak be uninstalled? Can I go back to OS 8.1.1? If so, how? Thanks!

birdpuk - November 29, 2014 at 10:22am

Do an iTunes backup and restore the stack firm ware.
