General 8.1.1 Jailbreak available

FYI - updated to 8.1.1 and re-jailbroke. Sprintomize doesn't work on 8.1.1... I get an error message on start-up saying "Springtomize doesn't support this iOS version"
You don't have to restore or apply your backup. You can just do a regular update to 8.1.1 in iTunes. That will remove the jailbreak. Then run TaiG.
Really? I've never tried that i would recommend a full DFU restore everytime.
I always thought the Update would fail if trying to install on a JB device.
Works just fine; just tested tethered to my MacBook via wifi with no issue.

Which bug fixes, in particular?
----------
I believe that updating via iTunes is fine; they don't recommend jailbreaking with an update that was taken OTA.
Why didn't MacRumors report on this new jailbreak already? I like that MacRumors reports on the latest legit jailbreak available, but they're often pretty late.

8.1.1 has bug fixes, so this is good news. My cousin was complaining that 8.1 has a glitch where the keyboards won't show up.

Why must I always correct people?
Facts:
1. The exploit used by TaiG was already known to Apple and patched in 8.2 Beta 1. It was either used now or never. It was stolen from i0n1c months ago.
2. The main improvement for iOS 8.1.1 over 8.1 is the reduced size of the system partition / over the user partition /var. In other words, you get back a couple hundred megabytes of space. This is also seen in the download size of 8.1.1 over 8.1 (~1.5GB vs 1.7GB).
3. Apple always places patches and fixes into releases that aren't announced in release notes. (Either they are too minor to be listed or too complicated for your grandma to understand. Yes, that is the bar.)
Questions?
----------
Remove the Substrate entry for Springtomize in iCleaner. This will diasable that popup. When it is updated, make sure you re-enable the entry before you update.

Yes. Can you post any pissed off tweets from i0n1c? I'm pretty sure he's just as upset about this as he was with Pangu when they jailbroke 8.x.
BL.

He is not "pissed off", he is rightly upset. These types of findings take many hours to research.
8.1.1 Jailbreak available
If he wasn't going to release the jailbreak then absolutely I'm glad they used it, both times.
Keeps him from sitting on it and bragging he found an exploit and refusing to release it (if that's what he did or planned on doing).

I dont get this either.
Why waste more exploits to JB a 8.x.x version and a pointless beta version?
Why not wait a few weeks at least till 8.2 is out?
What was really the point of this JB to be released with 8.1 still signed?
Doesn't make any sense to me....
----------
That is a very bad idea and I wouldn't go around telling people to do that.
If you don't know or want to risk it go for it but if you dont know any better don't try to give advice like that please.
Thanks.
I thought Taig JB the latest 8.2 beta.
How do we know that the final 8.2 would have blocked it? Well for sure now it will block it
----------
No, I don't see any benefits to it.
Everything runs fine on my JB 8.1 6 Plus so I don't see a reason to try to fix what's not broken
Why wait at all? Ugh that's the one thing I miss about Android development. The devs didn't use exploits as a crutch to fall back on, they tried to hack every update.
Android vs iOS is like a plastic zip tie vs a master lock to keep your door safe.

their version of the app pangu installed. look it up, they talk about it on various other sites
