These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1 - 7.1.2 using Pangu.

If you aren't already at iOS 7.1.2 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 7.1.2 here.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4 Using Pangu (Windows) [iOS 7.1.2]

Step One
Create an iClarified folder on your desktop and download the latest version of Pangu into the folder. If your download is a zip file then extract the archive into the same folder.

Step Two
Double click the Pangu executable to launch the application.

Step Three
The utility will launch. If you don't have Chinese installed on your system, the words will appear as gibberish.

Connect your iPhone to the computer via a USB cable. You will notice the device is detected by software. Uncheck the box towards the left of the window. This box asks if you would like a Chinese piracy app store installed. We strongly recommend for security and legal purposes that you do not check this box.

Click the large black button to the right of the screen to begin your jailbreak.

Step Four
A guide will popup asking you adjust your date back in time.

Tap Settings on your Springboard then choose the General menu.

Select Date & Time from the General menu then tap the Set Automatically switch to turn it to the OFF position.

Press the date and time that appears and scroll to move the date back to June 1st, 2014.

Step Five
Once the date has been adjusted, the Pangu app will begin the jailbreak process.

A new Pangu icon will appear on your Springboard. Tap the icon then press Continue when prompted to confirm the launch of the application.

**If you wait too long to launch the app on your SpringBoard, you will see a red message on the Windows app and will need to start over.

Step Six
The Pangu utility will continue with the jailbreak. Make sure to keep the device connected and do not close the app.

Step Seven
Once complete your iPhone will reboot and you will see Cydia on your desktop!

*A big thanks to the Pangu team and all the others who contributed to this jailbreak.

It doesn't work with the latest version of itunes. It seems an itunes downgrade is required.

Hello iCla, just got an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2 jailbreak with Pangu_v1.0.exe but, the issue here is that, the Jailbreak is confirmed as WildcardActivated on the iPhone details using iTools but, the jailbreak info says Yes(AFC2 Disabled) . What could be wrong ?

For those users that are planning to Jailbreak on iOS 7.1.2 then I recommend adding this Cydia Source into Cydia after you jailbreak so you don't have to manually input all the Cydia Sources manually. This will automatically add all the best Cydia Sources and give you access to all the best Cydia Tweaks, Themes and Apps for FREE with just a push of a button. Follow the steps below. 1. Open Cydia 2. Tap Sources 3. Tap Edit 4. Tap Add 5. Type this url in the box (cydiasource,n e t) without the spaces and switch coma for a dot in the url. 6. Tap "Add Source" 7. Install the package labelled "All Sources". This will give you all the best Cydia Sources to have access to all the best Tweaks, Apps and Themes for FREE

Although your wizard says that I can Jailbreak my iPhone 5s with IOS 7.1.x using Pangu 1.2.1, yet upon running Pangu software, it says it can work only for IOS 8 ! Now, I'll have to update my iPhone to IOS 8 which I didn't desire...is there any other way to Jailbreak my iPhone 5s on IOS 7.1.1 (Baseband 2.18.02) ? -Anshu

jemish - November 12, 2014 at 11:41am

Bro download pangu olderversion you can jailbreak via that

Anshu - November 12, 2014 at 1:16pm

Tried older version of Pangu too , namely 1.1 - didn't work :-( . Could it be my baseband version that's preventing it ? I saw another note n the newer Pangu guide that I should turn AIRPLANE MODE ON when jailbreaking. I shall try that too (just read the screenshot - haven't tried yet).

Thanks a lot for wonderful guide. I successfully jailbreak iphone 4S-32 GB. Great news is Pongu 1.2.1 shows English language. Bad news is all my installed apps are hidden. Usage shows data exists but no app shown on springboard. Please help me in this matter. Thanks.

Lir - August 28, 2014 at 11:30am

After following the above instructions I installed the new SIM (from a new carrier) and the iPhone prompted: "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIm card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information." Please advise Thx

julioc - August 28, 2014 at 7:53pm

Maybe its because you didnt actually unlock your phone from your previous carrier so you still cant insert a sim from another carrier, Jailbreaking doesnt unlock your phones carrier status.

watdapak - October 18, 2014 at 8:07am

Isn't freeing your phone from its original carrier is what jailbreaking is supposed to mean and also what its supposed? so what does jailbreak really mean now???

chaotictrack - October 24, 2014 at 11:26pm

Jailbreaking is give yourself full control over your phone's files instead of being restricted by Apple.
