How to jailbreak iOS 8.1.1/iOS 8.2 Beta untethered using TaiG v1.0.2 (Windows and Mac)

The jailbreak community is in for a big treat, as a new Chinese jailbreak developer team, TaiG, has updated the untethered jailbreak for iOS 8.1.1 with version 1.0.2, following recent release of Apple's iOS 8.x patch for Pangu8 jailbreak.

The new TaiG v1.0.2 update brings the ability to remove the 3K Assistant that can be optionally installed while jailbreaking your iOS device on iOS 8.1.1.

In related news, renowned jailbreak developer and member of evad3rs Dream Team, MuscleNerd, has confirmed that the TaiG jailbreak is safe for installation and nothing too complicated.

Here is what MuscleNerd had to tweet in his effort to console prospective jailbreakers with iOS 8.1.1 devices:

Nothing too unsettling with that TaiG JB...just some light device fingerprinting. To see that, create an empty debuglog.cfg file next...

to the exe file. From then on, when you run the tool it'll log the urls accessed in a log/.log file. — MuscleNerd (@MuscleNerd) December 1, 2014

The untether is much more transparent than Pangu (unobfuscated, and kernel is left open to inspection via "standard" task_for_pid0 patch)
