Chinese Jailbreak Team "Pangu" releases iOS 9 jailbreak

[bcredeur97]

Lots of concern was brought up in the jailbreak community about iOS 9 when it was released about how it is "rootless" and supposedly jailbreaking would be nearly impossible. Some may have even switched to android over this (I almost did myself)
 

 

Well fortunately it is possible, and Pangu has cracked it with a bit of help and released their own tool. As a bonus, they even turned down the $1,000,000 bounty for a iOS 9 jailbreak in order to have this be public.

 

 

Their servers are under heavy load right now, so this page might load slowly. But here is their site: http://en.pangu.io/

 

 

I was so happy when I rolled out of bed and saw their tweet this morning, thought I would share it here! Can't wait to have the most powerful phone you can currently buy at my full disposal with root user access and rootless disabled.

BOUT DAMN TIME.

 

I'm still on iOS 8.1 Not sure if I should update yet as most tweaks won't support it yet.

Just jailbroke my 6S

Took about 10 minutes or so. Interesting process, they must have used some crazy exploits this time around. Can't wait to read about them!

This jailbreak would not have qualified for the 1 million bounty. The bounty had a lot of requirements attached. For example in order to get the bounty the exploit would need to be browser based, untethered, it had to be silent, not require any user interaction and it had to be reliable. So it would have to be like the old JailBreakMe website, which is very unlikely to happen again.

Now waiting for MyWi to update to iOS 9 . Thank you jailbreak lords for jailbreaking iOS 9.

 

EDIT: ... it's Windows only... which I have a Windows computer... but that means I have to install iTunes on Windows... which we all know how crappy that is.

Thanks so much. I've been waiting for this.

Not gonna lie, that jailbreak came out really fast. Kudos to the team behind it.

Yes. I really wanna jailbreak my iPod touch but I still have it under warranty.

[NeatSquidYT]

Yes. I really wanna jailbreak my iPod touch but I still have it under warranty.

If it's broken in some way, just factory reset. There's no evidence.

I'm pretty sure a factory reset deletes any trace of a device being jail broken.

[NeatSquidYT]

Installing right now. Quick heads up, you need to trust the computer and have iTunes installed (for drivers)

I saw their tweet last night right before going to bed. I don't understand why they didn't wait for 9.1 (unless it already patched the exploits they used in beta 3 or 4) when 9.1 is due to be released really soon (we're on beta 5 right now and it's looking ready).

All funded by the Chinese government lol

[unperfect paul]

Am I right to assume this is an unteathered jail break or am I wrong

It's crazy how fast they do it these days and how everyone says it's not possible and someone comes out and does it. I'm all for people being able to do this but I wonder if Apple will ever be able to prevent this from happening...

The nsa won't let them because then iPhones will be too secure.

there will eventually always be a jailbreak as long as their is a community around it. I remember with iOS 7 or 8, it took almost half a year after release for someone to release their jailbreak tool.

9.1 patches a few things, but I have heard they are easy to work around. It is basically too late for apple to patch it (9.1 is due in a week)  so pangu will likely just make a few modifications and add support for it

 

If I had to guess though, 9.1.1 will break it.
