These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s on iOS 8.1.3 - 8.4 using PP 2 for Mac OS X...

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 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 8.4 using iTunes.

Step One
Download the latest version of PP 2 then double click the dmg to mount it.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 6 Plus, 6, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s Using PP (Mac) [iOS 8.4]

Drag and drop the PP application icon onto the Applications folder shortcut.

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
Right click or hold down control and click the PP jailbreak icon from the Applications folder on your Mac then click Open to launch the application.

Step Six
You will notice the device is detected by the software. Uncheck the checkbox at the bottom left of the window then click the large Jailbreak button in the middle of window to begin your jailbreak.

Step Seven
Click the large Continue button to right to confirm you've disabled Find My iPhone and Touch ID.

Step Eight
The PP app will now begin the jailbreak process.

Step Nine
Once the jailbreak has completed successfully, you will be shown a green checkmark, your iPhone will reboot and a Cydia app will appear on your Springboard. Congratulations, you're now jailbroken!

*A big thanks to all those who contributed to this jailbreak.

I Restored the phone to try again despite the instructions saying nothing about this unless one's been backing up via iCloud (I don't). Now I start PP and it says "Jailbreak failed! Detected unfinished backup. Please unlock device and try again". There is no 'unfinished backup'. I don't even know what they are referring to by "please unlock device".

Doesn't work. I felt if iClarified listed it, it was 'vetted'. :( Stuck at 'Preparing' over and over again. I've followed the instruct perfectly.

Pangu?

when you put it to factory reset, do you restore your back up via iTunes prior to JBing it?

Niacin88 - July 26, 2015 at 6:18pm

I did exactly as David12345678. When you don't enter your iCloud info, there will not be an option to Turn Off Find my iPhone as there is no cloud login. apart from that, follow his instructions and you'll be jailbroken

jojosmom07 - July 25, 2015 at 2:50am

just wanted to let you all know that i kept getting the error message at 2/8 and i checked and i only had 1gb on my ipad so i deleted some useless apps had about 3gb available and i was able to jailbreak :)

Followed David12345678 steps, seems to be working. Thank you all!

Revolva - July 19, 2015 at 3:48am

Followed David 12345678's method after several failed jailbreak attempts stuck at step 2... and still no joy. Now the process gets stuck at "Please wait a few seconds. If you enabled password protect, please unlock your device." The progress bar looks exactly halfway along. I've tried several times using this "new" method, and still no success. Vanilla iOS feels like such a step down! >_<

I jailbroke IPhone 5 and Iphone 6 on 8.4 software using these methods, but it does not work with a new Iphone I purchased today (weird). I am running into the same trouble that it gets stuck on "please wait a few seconds.... I noticed that it restores the phone instead of jailbreak. pls help.

David12345678 - July 20, 2015 at 8:13pm

Revolva, after PP restarts you device, I only swipe open past the Welcome screen and then leave it to display the white continue screen. I do not go past this point in my process. I have also found if you do multiple attempts it's best to have a long break in between attempts with even a shutdown of your Mac.

carlosguto78 - July 17, 2015 at 12:11am

Guys I had the same problems that people have in here! But now I made it! Download the Pangu program from the official website. Than run it. I have tried for 5 times than I finaly have this idea. So go to pangu official website and download the dmg file from there. I made it with airplane mode set on.

David12345678 - July 17, 2015 at 1:34am

was this for iPhone or iPad?

David12345678 - July 17, 2015 at 3:30pm

What is the URL to the official 8.4 jailbreak site? As http://en.pangu.io/ doesn't list 8.4 and a Google search isn't doing much good.

carlosguto78 - July 18, 2015 at 3:34am

iPhone 5s Verizon 16gb.

I had 3gb free on my device. I tried to run the jailbreak and got the same error about the environment. rebooted and tried it again a couple times. fails every time... now when I go into usage > storage it shows I have 0 bytes free... now I have 3GB of other in iTunes that I don't know how to erase. Going to restore again... :-(

Anybody else having issues with PP not recognizing your iphone 5? Ive tried updating through itunes, restoring and reztoring from scratch. No matter what, the jailbreak tool does not see the phone, and thw jailbreak button never lights up to start the process. Im going to try a virtual machine and use a windows jailbreak now.

It seems as if there are 3 important preliminary steps to follow: 1. Back-up manually to your Mac (or iCloud). Don't use back-up from iPhone or iPad. 2. Restore using iTunes to iOS 8.4. Do not update using iPhone or iPad. 3. Set "Airplane Mode" to on. Jailbreak.

ricekake - July 15, 2015 at 5:43am

Back up phone, Update through iTunes, restore to new phone. Turn off passcode, turn off find my phone, force quit out of iTunes, turn on airplane mode. Jailbreak took about a minute. You cannot restore from previous back up, If you do not restore to a new phone you will def get stuck on step 2. Performed on mac mini.

Evan Marshall - July 17, 2015 at 3:17pm

Hi I find whenever I am resetting the device it now starts with 8.4 even though I originally did an OTA to 8.4. How do I reset so it allows me to restore to 8.4 via iTunes?

meagain - August 2, 2015 at 12:28am

But the instructions don't say to restore prior

JBker - July 14, 2015 at 10:19pm

OK, tried to JB after updating. Dint work. You need to restore to latest firmware so phone is like new. The do a MANUAL backup in iTunes. Then you can jailbreak. If not you'll get stuck at 2/8 by not restoring. Or You'll get stuck on 5/8 if you didn't manually backup.

jojosmom07 - July 14, 2015 at 9:18pm

anyone else having issues on ipad 2 mine stays at 2/8 and says error finding enviornment?

profecia - July 15, 2015 at 1:44am

Same thing happening to me, any ideas, anybody?

Lexthewise - July 14, 2015 at 8:51pm

Does this work for the iPad mini as well? And are the instructions the same? Thanks in advance.

city023 - July 14, 2015 at 7:51pm

still doesn't work! did i HAVE to update to iOS 8.4 via iTunes? cause i did it via iPhone update on my iPhone. if so then how do i update it to 8.4 via iTunes when its already updated?

Spartacus - July 14, 2015 at 8:39pm

@CITY023....You will need to restore on 8.4 via iTunes first. Remember to back-up MANUALLY first. After restoring via iTunes you can redo the Jailbreak.

GemStarr - July 14, 2015 at 6:34pm

any fix for the stuck at 2/8?

ilovejailbreak - July 14, 2015 at 7:00pm

I tried the airplane mode suggestion it never worked for me. I decided to turn off wifi and bluetooth and the jailbreak worked. I don't know if it was a coincidence or just luck

ilovejailbreak - July 14, 2015 at 7:04pm

I left the phone on just like for normal use and only turned off wifi and bluetooth

Chris - July 14, 2015 at 4:19pm

I'm stuck 2/3 environment. I rebooted my device and even tried it in airplane mode with no success. Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong? I followed the steps exactly as listed. Any advise?

David12345678 - July 14, 2015 at 6:15pm

Chris, I'm trying a clean install of 8.4 / Jailbreak / Restore data from iCloud

GemStarr - July 14, 2015 at 6:29pm

I am also stuck at 2/8 any fix for this?

Jendey - July 14, 2015 at 3:16pm

Is stuck on 2/8 i have restore the phone couple times and nothing same issue

David12345678 - July 14, 2015 at 4:05pm

I enabled Airplane mode and the Jailbreak was successful.

Airplane mode did NOT work for me.
