Pangu iOS 7.1.1 – iOS 7.1 Jailbreak released.



A group of Chinese hackers calling themselves “Pangu” have just released what they’re claiming is an iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak, and this time it looks like we might have a bit of evidence that it could be legitimate. (Update: reports are streaming in that the jailbreak does indeed successfully install Cydia on iOS 7.1.X devices.) The story is still unfolding, but just moments ago the team uploaded the Windows counterpart of the iOS 7.1-7.1.x jailbreak on their website. As of right now, an installer for OS X isn’t available, but Macintosh is listed on the website so it appears one is coming soon. According to the website it is compatible with the following devices: iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 iPad Air, Retina iPad mini iPod touch 5G We’re assuming that it is compatible with other iOS 7.1.1 compatible devices as well such as Retina iPad (iPad 4, iPad 3) and iPad 2. Note: Proceed with caution — there is no proof as of yet that the jailbreak is legitimate, so there could very well be phishing attempts and the like included in the download. It’s a Windows .exe file that surpasses 70 MB in size, leaving us to be even more suspicious. It’s worth noting however, that the package seems to have passed on Metascan (which runs the files by a long list of known malicious software trackers). There’s no way of knowing what kind of software is included with this jailbreak yet, even though it doesn’t seem to have any obviously malicious intent. Here is how it looks like for yoou download. Update 1: Check out our step-by-step tutorial on how to jailbreak iOS 7.1.1 using Pangu. Update 2: MuscleNerd, member of the evad3rs has also confirmed that it is safe, though he thinks it is not worth upgrading to iOS 7.0.x for it. Update 3: Check out our post for the list of iOS 7.1.1 compatible jailbreak apps and tweaks. Update 4: If you did not uncheck the option to avoid installing the PPSync package, then check this post to find out why and how you should remove it. Source
