These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s on iOS 8.0 - 8.1.1 using TaiG for Windows...
If you aren't already at iOS 8.1.1 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.1.1 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iPhone. Please note that you must update using iTunes rather than Software Update. If you used Software Update you should do a backup then restore to iOS 8.1.1 using iTunes.
Step One Create an iClarified folder on your desktop and download the latest version of TaiG into the folder. If your download is a zip file then extract the archive into the same folder.
Step Two Tap Settings from your Springboard then select Touch ID & Passcode. Turn Passcode Off if it is enabled.
Step Three Press the Settings button at the top left to return to the Settings menu. Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPhone from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPhone switch is the Off position.
Step Four Connect your iPhone to the computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, and perform a manual backup. It is very important that you remember to backup your device before continuing as you could lose your data if the jailbreak process does not complete successfully.
Step Five Double click the TaiGJBreak executable from the iClarified folder on your desktop to launch the application.
Step Six You will notice the device is detected by the software. Uncheck the bottom checkbox to prevent the TaiG App Store from being installed then click the large Green button to begin your jailbreak.
Step Seven The TaiG app will now begin the jailbreak process.
Step Eight Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, you will be shown a green smilie face, your iPhone will reboot and a Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!
*A big thanks to the TaiG team and all the others who contributed to this jailbreak.

......
the weird thing bout this jb it's said can jb ios 8.0 - to 8.1.1
i tried in 8.1 but my iphone not showed up
tried pangu works fine....
but in 8.1.1 works fine
im using iphone 5 gsm/cdma
Thanks Ensik Mango
everything working like a charm on my iphone gsm 5
the main reason to upgrade to 8.1.1 was that viber and gmail had crashing issues on 8
now all is well
Even when you take your iPhone to the Apple Store they now ask you to disable find my iphone and passcode lock in case something goes wrong it could create a boot loop. If you're that paranoid just don't jailbreak in the first place.
True, that!
I, don't know a s..t in Chinese. Had the same problem as the guy above. But, used Google Translate with www.taig.com and downloaded the 1.0.1 version. Worked smoothly! Did not know, that 1.0.0 (thru taig_1006.zip) app was suggesting me to download the latest version. It was not detecting my phone at all. But, version 1.0.1 (thru taig_1010.zip) detected the phone right away and with no issue jailbreaking it.
All the best.
Yes, I figured it up later and it worked then. Wonderful. Do you know which AppSync to use for this version, I downloaded Navigon Europé from AppCake(becuse vShare crashes on startup) but could not install it?
