How to Jailbreak iOS 8.4 on Mac with TaiG

Thanks to the just-released TaiG jailbreak for Mac tool, OS X users don’t have to go through the hassle of setting up a virtual machine and can simply download the software and run it natively on their Macs to jailbreak any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8.4. That was followed up by an unoffical (and glitchy) offshoot for Mac by another team in July. The connection between the two devices does seem to hamper with the jailbreak, as we have seen in the past, so we highly recommend that you turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone, and put your Apple Watch in airplane mode before going ahead. At the same time, these tools can also help you to jailbreak iOS 8.1.3, iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3.

PP’s Mac version of the iOS 8.4 jailbreak tool works and all, but if you want a genuine experience when jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad, using TaiG’s new jailbreak tool for Mac is the best way to go.

As advanced as both iOS and Android are, there are still ways to enhance, add features, change the UI and more by either jailbreaking an iOS device or rooting an Android device. As for supported devices, any iOS device like the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch running on this iOS firmware are good. TaiG previously didn’t offer a Mac version (only Windows) but now has released a jailbreak tool that will support Mac OS X. You can disable Find my iPhone by going to Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone and from here toggle the “Find my iPhone” button to the OFF position. Next, click Start and let the jailbreak tool do its thing. Make sure you uncheck the 3K assistant option and keep the Cydia option checked. Just sit back and let it do what it needs to do, but eventually a new window should pop up that says Jailbreak Succeeded!

Note that if you are already running a jailbroken device, then you don’t need to do anything else.
