These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini Retina, and iPad mini on iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.4 using TaiG for Windows.

If you aren't already at iOS 8.4 we suggest upgrading to the latest firmware using iTunes. You can find download links for iOS 8.4 here. We've also posted instructions on how to update the firmware of your iOS device. 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 8.4 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
Choose iCloud from the Settings menu then select Find My iPad from the iCloud menu. Ensure the Find My iPad switch is the Off position.

Step Four
Connect your iPad 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 iPad 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.

Nothing works as it should, absolutely horrible jailbreak

marti - July 13, 2015 at 1:34pm

ok, i have the same issue with the appel driver hasn´t been found. Please fix this so a normal installation is possible, or at least mention it here before everyone upgrades only to find out it doesn´t work.

Hi everyone. Especially to developers of JB app. I use Mini Ipad and I have upgraded into 8.4 IOS. I am trying to continue with steps posted here above, but each time I tried to JB, the message of Apple driver was not found is getting me trouble what to do. Does any body have any idea how to continue further?! Note: just to make clear my questions, I have downloaded the latest version of I Tunes and still I am getting the same message.

you have to delete ALL of the apple software on control panel everything that is apple delete than install itunes 12.0

thanks from the bottom of my heart

So I'm jail broken on 8.1. I usually do a clean install of the newest firmware.. Restore from backup and then jailbreak. The directions here say I can update and re jailbreak...skipping the whole restoring from backup process. Question is., does that take extra space with the previous jailbreak and tweaks being inaccessible or are they simply overridden when I re jailbreak. If being overridden will Cydia recognize tweaks previously installed or would I have to reinstall them

You will have to reinstall them

set device to AIRPLANE mode before jailbreak!

This has got to be the cr@ppiest JB I have ever seen. It jail broke my iPhone, but wouldn't my iPad. I tried dozens of fixes, and each time it listed a randomly picked error code. When 8.4 came out, I tried again. Again, nothing. Figuring the iPad was a lost cause, I tried 8.4 on my phone. No go! Now I have 2 unjail broken devices. I almost suspect Apple paid off TaiG to curtail the number of jail broken phones. I will NEVER attempt another TaiG JB!

what is always not clear/missing in these tutorials: the 2 possible sequences and related pros/cons: backup, firmware update, restore backup, jailbreak backup, firmware update, jailbreak, restore backup

Should have never upgraded. Jailbroke my 4s on ios 8.3 successfully but upgraded to ios 8.4 and now I am stuck in the 20% loop. I am using iTunes 12.0.1 on windows 8.1 64 bit. Is there a fix?

PO51 - July 3, 2015 at 12:21am

Note: The ios 8.3 20% fix tutorial is useless for the ios 8.4 jailbreak

narain69 - July 22, 2015 at 3:44pm

do it on windows 7 with older version of iTunes as u have will work for YOu

odedoo1 - July 2, 2015 at 9:51pm

Have anybody tried reinstalling iOS 8.3? Is the door still open or Apple have sealed it???

odedoo1 - July 2, 2015 at 9:54pm

The reason I ask is because I'm on 8.3 and would like to stay but also would like to would also like to use the new jailbreak so pretty much do it all from the beginning Clean.

NoGoodNick - July 3, 2015 at 3:38am

Don't do it! This JB is unreliable. As far as I can tell, you've only got a 20 to 30% chance of success with each attempt.
