There’s no iOS 8 jailbreak out from either Evad3rs or Pangu, but there’s a number of websites sharing so called software that allows users to jailbreak their Apple device.
There’s a couple websites linked via Google News that claim to have a jailbreak for $19.99 or $29.99.
However, that shouldn’t be trusted as it’s likely a scam that could contain malware. One also shouldn’t have to pay for a jailbreak, as its always been free.
The only jailbreak teams that can be trusted are Evad3rs and Pangu, who haven’t released a statement about their progress in the last week.
After iOS 8 came out, Pangu said, “[Reminder] Just 1 day before iOS 8 official release, guess that devices except iPhone 4 can’t be restored with 7.1.2 firmware. If you want to jailbreak please grab the last moment. For iOS 8, we are already on the way…”
Here’s the Pangu website and the Evad3rs website.
And with the latest update to iOS 8.0.2, it appears that Apple has stopped signing iOS 7–so users of jailbroken Apple devices who are thinking of upgrading might want to think twice before doing so, as they won’t be able to downgrade.
According to iClarified a few days ago, “Apple has stopped signing the iOS 7.1.2 firmware making it impossible to downgrade from iOS 8.x … Oooooo. 7.1.2 signing just got killed.”
The site says: “We encourage those who are jailbroken on iOS 7.1.2 or lower to be careful when connecting their device to iTunes as it will prompt you to update. If you do update, you will lose your jailbreak.”
