TuT [Tutorial] How to Jailbreak iOS 8.1.1 - 8.4 Using TaiG Jailbreak!

Rook · October 17, 2015

Here’s how to jailbreak your device running on iOS 8.1.1 or iOS 8.4 beta using TaiG jailbreak.

Some important points before you proceed:

Please proceed with caution, as Taig is known for running an app store with pirated apps in China. The name Taig might be familiar to you, as it was the center of controversy when this pirated app store was bundled with evasi0n7, and later removed. We’re yet to get a confirmation from any well known hacker that the jailbreak is safe.
TaiG jailbreak supports following iOS 8.1.1, iOS 8.4 beta devices:
- iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S
- iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2
- iPad mini 3, iPad mini 2, iPad mini
- iPod touch 5G
TaiG jailbreak also supports iOS 8 – iOS 8.1 but it may be advisable to use the Pangu jailbreak for it.
TaiG jailbreak is currently available only for Windows. For now, Mac users will have to run Windows in a virtual machine to use the TaiG jailbreak.
Use iCloud or iTunes to back up any and all personal information that you need to keep safe. The jailbreak has been reported to be working in most cases, but on the off chance something goes wrong, it’s a good idea to have an escape plan.
Disable any Antivirus programs or firewalls that could prevent TaiG from connecting to the internet.
