iOS 8 Beta is Likely Jailbreakable!

Stefan Esser, a hacker known as i0n1c, reports that the just released iOS 8 beta is likely jailbreakable.

Download finished. Initial tests show that iOS 8 beta does not fix anything. Dumped kernel fine, but code changed and patches are not found.

I guess tomorrow I need a few hours in the office to fix the code and then the JB should be iOS 8 beta compatible.

Only question is if Cydia runs at all in iOS 8.

I0n1c demoed his jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1 last month. He has yet to confirm whether he will release a public jailbreak; however, it would make logical sense to wait until iOS 8 is officially released so as to not burn any exploits.

The jailbreak community is a part of Apple they just creates dramas to make public fool its marketing scene.

Bet you mean jailbreakable making hack easier for others. Why jailbreak when there is enough to enjoy, it's like begging for a raise.

Doesn't make sense for ios 8 JB. If he doesn't succeed we won't be able to revert back to ios 7.1.1 which he claims Jailbroken. We all have to update to ios 8 than.

Talk for yourself. It's not only small little features that apple has integrated. It's complete freedom about what you want or not on your device. I DO need Jailbreak for certain things.

-Control center is nice but needs more customization. -BiteSMS is 10000x better (though will be interested to see the new quick reply apply stole... uhh... developed) -Swipe Select keyboard for scrolling is the tiniest tweak but so f'ing useful. -Springtomerize lets me customize enough of the little things I don't need winterboard. Maybe in about 2-3 years when apple can steal those ideas and intergrate them as well then we can stop jailbreaking.

Uh yes we do. I need my jailbreak tweaks, even if Apple is allowing certain access to the API

If the only available package was Barrel, I would JB just for that not to mention about 50 other reasons. JB is what makes an iPhone way tighter then anything out there.

Looking forward to the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 Jailbreak although it's safe to assume it won't be released in public form from Stefan Esser. His demos of jb are for proof of concept only. Helps him get private jobs.
