  • Sep 15, 2015

Jailbreakers on iOS always look forward to updates in Jailbreak, and the TaiG tool is one of the updates that can be used to jailbreak on iOS 8.4.  The TaiG is quite popular among users of iPhone, and with this tool, you can actually jailbreak on any iDevice.

Just before you jailbreak on your device, make sure you backup your data on iCloud or iTunes. Jailbreakers will always want a smooth jailbreak procedure but it is also important not to take chances with important data that can be lost. If you are using the IOS 9 Beta, you will have to downgrade it to 8.3 or 8.4 before you can use the TaiG tool to jailbreak.

Step 1: As mentioned earlier, you need to backup the data on your iPhone or iPad through iCloud or iTunes. The latter is more preferable

Step 2: Locate “Find my iPhone”, by going to Settings-iCloud-Find My iPhone.

Step 3: Turn off your passcode by simply going to: Settings-Touch ID & PASSCODE- and then enter your passcode- Turn off passcode- and re-enter the passcode.

Step 4: Simply download the latest TaiG jailbreak version on your Mac device.

Step 5: Simply connect your iPhone, or iPad, or iTouch to your iMac device via a USB cable.

Step 6: Simply click twice on the dmg file you just downloaded

Step 7: You will be directed to move the TaiG app into the applications folder.

Step 8: Open the TaiG app by right-clicking on it.

Step 9: Click on “Open” again

Step 10: After a while the TaiG tool will be detected on your idevice, you will have to confirm that the correct version is shown and after that, simply de-select the 3k assistance 2.3.0.

Step 11: select and click on the “Start” button

Step 12: Once the jailbreak is complete your iDevice will have to shut down and reboot automatically.

 The Jailbreak tool will be identified through a Cydia  icon right on your Home screen, and from there you can choose some jailbreak tweaks that can enhance the performance of your device- these tweaks were earlier restricted by Apple but the tool has helped unlocked them.

Keep in mind that the TaiG jailbreak tool is still untethered, and that means it can jailbreak IOS versions 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and even 8.1.3. With a tool like this within your reach, you can virtually jailbreak any iDevice, including; iPhone 5C, iPhone 6, iPhone 5--iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2, mini 3, iPad 3, iPad mini 1, Air iPad 4, iPad mini 2, iPad 3and the 5th generation iPod touch.

The TaiG jailbreak tool does not need an upgrade all the time as the tool automatically updates itself, however, it has an expiry date and that means you will have to re-download. The tool also comes in both free and upgraded version – the latter offers some of the most advance features you can ever ask for in a jailbreak tool.

  • SBFlip Cydia Tweak to turn your iPhone 6s into a iPhone 6s Plus
  • This is a great tweak for enabling the rotation of Home screen with icons but the applications itself, meaning full control of what you need the rotation for and what purpose. There are confusions in relation to what in actual meaning SBFlip allows, in my opinion the biggest capacity it adds to your device is enabling the device to act as another, best example would be if you have an iPhone 6 or 6s but you would prefer the screen rotation and ability of 6 plus or 6s plus then this is the best tweak for you.
