These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s on iOS 8.0 - 8.1.2 using TaiG for Windows...
If you aren't already at iOS 8.1.2 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.1.2 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 8.1.2 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.

I get the error CANT FIND APPLE DRIVER, PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ITUNES when I try to jailbreak my iphone with Taig... iphone 5C 32GB pink GSM, and I dont know what to do....anyone help?
I also had the same problem with running TaiG. It was because I had iTunes 12.1 installed. You need iTunes 12.0.1 installed. I downloaded from the link listed at:
http://fairerplatform.com/2014/10/itunes-12-0-1-shipping-version/
The link points at:
https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/iTunes12/031-08059.20141016.FrPFF/iTunes64Setup.exe
I ended up uninstalling a bunch of apps with Apple in their name, iTunes, and Quicktime. And then I rebooted, just in case. After installing iTunes 12.0.1 and connecting my already restored-to-8.1.2 iPhone 6, I waited for the iPhone driver to load. After that, running TaiG worked. I'm restoring from backup now.
Good luck.
Thanks for the info, this worked great, this is the page I got more info from for downgrading iTunes

I've been here for hours! Lots of problems came up but fixed them, except this one, right at the end of the process... My jailbreak fails -1004, which says: "This problem is caused by your computer. Please change to another computer and try again." I just have this one! Why..?
I am installing a spy software on my daughters phone and the phone must be jailbroken to do so. If I delete the Cydia application so she doesn't know the phone is jailbroken, will it still be jailbroken? Also, is there any other way she will know that it is jailbroken? Also, if she updates to 8.1.3 will I have to jailbreak it again? Thank you.
You do realize this is Jailbreaking, not Unlocking !
It is generally not related to activating your SIM card.
Did you try the SIM card on another phone ! You should probably consult with your provider (no need to mention the jailbreak).
Thank you
Did you mean the jailbreak don't relate to unlock Iphone6?
How I can unlock my iPhone 6?
What is the benefit of Jailbreak?
also,Cydia was installed in my iPhone.
To Unlock your iPhone 6 you will have to either call up the provider that originally provided the service or go to a website that will unlock the phone but you would have to pay for that.
This is normal when you run Cydia for the first time after jailbreak, it will take less than 30 seconds updating the filesystem then it will respring your iphone.
Yes.
It should not be a problem.
The thing is, you can't update OTA while you are jailbroken. So after you apply this jailbreak, you will not be able to update again OTA, but you can always restore with iTunes.
