Idownloadblog also showed a way to get this running on a Mac as that version of the Pangu tool isn't released yet. I'll have to do get that done myself later on today incase 7.1.2 patches this exploit.

If you are using a VM to run Windows for Pangu, be sure to enable USB 2.0 otherwise iTunes/Pangu won't be able to see your idevice.

Does anyone remember the name of the tweak that let your music/streaming app play in the background when you are playing a game (or something else that overrides music/streaming apps). For example, I want to be able to listen to TuneIn Radio while playing SSG2 but SSG2 will stop the stream and the game audio takes over.

BackgroundManager should sort that issue for you, as should Flex 2 Beta as long as someone has created a patch for it.

Update and Jailbreak went seamlessly and am liking the upgrade. However, I too am finding the battery drain a little odd. DetailedBatteryUsage shows both accountsd and cloudd to be the main culprits on my I5. My ipad3 seems unchanged in UI speed and battery usage.

Really looking forward to Safari Download Manager and Backgrounder to start working again.

Is there something like Switchspring for iOS 8? And is Apple still signing 8.1? I'm still not sure I'm subjecting my 3rd gen iPad to an update, but I guess I might not have the option anymore anyway.

I updated my iPad 3 to 8.1 just for the new jailbreak and it's been doing just fine. I was worried it would really suffer from slowdowns but I personally haven't noticed any real difference from before.

I'm much the same. My i5 still runs like the day I got it even with ios8.1 on it. I don't do much in it other than light browsing and some txting. Maybe music if I'm commuting to work.
Can't justify the price of a new phone that I wouldn't see the benefit of other than a bigger screen. I use my iPad for that anyway.

But I totally see how someone with an iPhone 4 would be itching to upgrade.

How much cheaper would it be? Because as far as I'm aware, you can't unlock an i5s/6 yourself. You have to go either to the telecom provider or pay a 3rd party to do it for you (eBay).

If Japan is anything like here in the UK, they will probably require you to have paid at least half of your contract term before they unlock your phone for you. In regards to the eBay services, I hear they work but can't personally vouch for them as I've never used them. I've also heard they charge silly amounts to unlock the newer models. Might be worth seeing if they offer unlocks for the Japanese carriers as well before a purchase.

In terms of jailbreaking, it is just as easy to jailbreak an i5 as an i6/6+. The newest software 8.1.2 is jailbreakable and is unteathered meaning it persists after a reboot.

Good luck :)

Hopefully someone here can help because Reddit was fairly useless in its reply.

On both ASUpdatehider and ReachApp I get 'There was an error loading the preference bundle for XXX' in the settings. ReachApp still works but for ASUpdatehider, the 1 app I don't want to update is now showing in the AppStore!

I've tried deleting and reinstalling both apps but no dice. iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2 if it makes any difference.

Anything good goons?

There is a custom iOS 5 ipsw called grayd00r which brings new version features to the ipad1 and can allow new app versions to run as well.

8.4 released an is already jailbreakable with PP jailbreak. However it's probably best to wait until the updated TaiG tool, as the PP team stole the code that TaiG will be using for the JB.

TaiG 2.3 has released, so it you haven't already jaikbroken, use that as it fixed the bug in the exploit.

If you've already jailbroken, the new TaiG Untether should show as an instal within Cydia. Update and enjoy!

"Watchdog" has just been released in beta mode. It allows apps to run in the background, similar to Backgrounder and Background Manager in the iOS 6/7 days.

I'm still playing around with it but it seems to work just fine. All you need to do is tap on the app in the task switcher to de/active.

There is a recovery fix software that was bundled into one of the old jailbreak tools. The name escapes me, but you'll be able to find it in Google or something.

OTA should still be good for a Jailbreak, just make sure you back you're phone up before hand, just in case.

I've tried looking on the R/Jailbreak page but that site is such a clusterfuck so I'll ask here.

Is the 9.0.2 jailbreak stable enough to warrant upgrading from 8.4? I'm on a 6+ and everything is working as I want it without issues.

I know that there was a "bootloop of death" when it first released but I can't seem to find if its still an issue or not.

I'm going to skip it this time around. 9.3.3 is so stable on my 6+ and iPad Pro that I really don't want to chance anything.

I saved blobs for 10.2 for both my 6+ and iPad Pro. Not sure if I'll JB even when Promethius comes out, but worth doing just incase.

I'm pretty close to leaving Jailbreaking myself and updating my 12.9 and 6+ from 9.3.3 to 11.

The only thing I really use is adblocking, but I have Pi-Hole on my network and apparently IOS can do this now and Flex to remove ads from the Uk All4 app.

Having Kodi on my ipad permanently and not having to use Cydia Impactor every 7 days is also a plus. But other than that, I'm sort of scratching my head as to why I'm still jailbroken.

The latest firmware with a jailbreak currently is 11.3.1

One of the Jailbreak developers has found exploits in ios12 that could lead to a potential jailbreak, but it also could mean nothing.
