How Pangu Works?

In iOS 7.x this new software works on the basis of expired certificates, and this is the reason you have to set the date of your device to a specific date in order to accomplish the mission. If you won’t set that specific date, you won’t be able to get the jailbreak. Some hackers, esp MuscleNerd, think that the use of expired certificate is illegal.

However, in iOS8, you won’t need to set specific date. It is yet not clear whether the team used any new exploits or changed the way Pangu works while using any previous exploits.

Initially i0nic’s discovered bug was used in the very first release of this jailbreak tool. Later the developers dropped that bug and used new info leak bug.

Problems and Possible Solutions:

Though the whole jailbreak process is very simple but you may face few problems during the process. Here are the possible problems and their solutions.

Problem 1) The device screen goes black and no button is working.

This problem may occur if you have a lot of apps already installed on iPhone. The jailbreak takes a lot of time to reconfigure all the apps. If the screen doesn’t come back after 3-5 minutes, keep pressed the power and home button to restart your device.

Problem 2) Low storage memory warning

If you see low storage memory, it is because you have installed a lot of apps. There should be more than 6GB free memory to be on safe side. The best option is to run Pangu after fresh iOS install and after that restore the backup.

Problem 3) After the jailbreak my all apps have disappear.

Simply restart the device and all apps will reappear on your screen.

Problem 4) I am facing bootloop issue whenever I restart my iPhone.

There is a bug in the Pangu which causes bootloop issue on some iPhone devices. If you are also getting this issue, make it sure the light sensor is not covered or your device is not in the dark. Alternatively you can point a flashlight above the light sensor and you won’t stuck into bootloop.

At this moment some cydia apps and tweaks may not work for your iOS 8.1 jailbreak because those tweak may need update to support the new version.

Many of above mentioned problems are solved in the latest release of Pangu. So if you are facing any problem, first try the latest Pangu release and then ask for help in comments section.

Important Note:

Always disable Passcode lock, Find my iPhone and Touch ID before running Pangu.
