iOS 9 Pangu Jailbreak Now available

[eyoungren]

Thanks, is the main risk with a jailbreak malware? I think in general Apple iOS un jailbroken is quite secure from what I've heard. If you jailbreak and stay away from piracy etc can you stay just as safe as being an un Jailbroken user?

How much more, at risk is your data and security if you are jailbroken? There's alot to lose these days with the info and data we have on our devices (Banking, ApplePay, Pics, emails, passwords) I'm just trying to get a general view so I know the risks etc before going a head with jailbreaking or not.

You have to understand that when you jailbreak you are assuming responsibility for your security. If you stay stock, then it's Apple that takes the blame.

By accepting responsibility for the safety of your device it means not putting yourself in the position of adding sketchy repos, repos known for piracy and/or the same for tweaks.

It means doing your homework and research and asking questions if you are unsure – BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING. We can't help you afterwards.

It means if you install methods to access your device remotely (OpenSSH), learning and understanding the process of changing the default passwords to something only you know. The defaults are just that. And those who would hack your device know the default passwords. They are counting on you NOT knowing what you are doing.

Responsibility also means not handing your device off to people you don't know and allowing them to walk off with it out of your sight. Not visiting websites known for malware/piracy.

Basically, use your common sense.

As long as you do that your device is no less secure than a stock device.

For those experienced with Apple and jailbreaking, does this make sense? It does to me but maybe I'm just hoping it's true that they're waiting to release the jailbreak when 9.2 comes out.

It makes sense. With jailbreaks the devs always strive to have the maximum amount of time available to users for jailbreaking.

A JB for 9.2 will also JB 9.1.

How likely this is to happen? Who knows.

Just looking for a quick answer to probably a dumb question. I'm currently still on iOS 9.0.1 on my 6s+. Am I able to still do the full untethered jailbreak?

^ yes

With 9.2 released any guess as to when Pangu will release a JB for 9.1/9.2?

This assumes they will release a jailbreak. There is no guarantee. Those on 8.4.1 are still waiting for one.

The probability that they will is good however, but no one knows when they will - if at all. For certain.

Does anyone know if the recently reported sale of the 9.1 jailbreak for that million dollar bounty to that company that starts with a "z" (can't recall the name) might affect/delay a free release?

Does anyone know if the recently reported sale of the 9.1 jailbreak for that million dollar bounty to that company that starts with a "z" (can't recall the name) might affect/delay a free release?

At the very least, it means that there is at least one less person that will facilitate it's release. That does not mean too much though, there could be others that know about the vulnerability, that did not sell it to the bounty program. Any 9.1 or future jailbreak that comes out, could utilize different exploits/vulnerabilities to complete the jailbreak process.

My guess is that the next jailbreak will be released once the known/unused jailbreaks are patched. (Why waste it for .1 release, unless there is something significant gained by that release?)

i really hope the team will release 9.2 JB soon

 

[iLog.Genius]

So it looks like a jailbreak is in the works for versions later than 9.0.2. Can't wait!

It has even been reported recently that the TaiG Team was ready to release its 3K Assistant jailbreak tool, with iOS 9.2 apparently hacked and cracked suitably. But the claim that this iOS 9.2 jailbreak had been completed has now been retracted from the source close to the cracking team. Now it seems that we may be weeks into 2016 before we see the first jailbreak of the iPhone OS.

I bet that they will wait till 9.2.1 now.

Point taken, sorry for the bad link.

Would you guys say a JB iPhone 6S Plus is better and cooler than a rooted and ROM'd Note 5 ? I'm looking for a change of scenery, but have been a big Android guy for years.

I'd say yes and this coming from a major tinkerer and flasher who used 4 android phones. Of course a rooted Android phone can still do some things a jail broken iPhone can't but the possibilities opened up on the iPhone make it on par with what stock Android offers. I also think the themes are much better in the jail break community than anything on Android.

Here's a screenshot from my most recent jailbreak that I was on. I just love the clean look of the status bar and I had all my apps in folders within a folder on the dock so no home screens.
