Fake Evasi0n iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak released: Do not download

UPDATE: The Evasi0n iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak has been confirmed to be fake. Avid jailbreakers are advised not to download the file and wait for members of the Evasi0n Dream Team to release the official version of the jailbreak.

Original Story

Apple has just released its newest iteration of iOS firmware, the iOS 8.4.1, with numerous bug-fixes and performance improvements along with the latest patch for iOS 8.4 jailbreaks (TaiG and PP).

With TaiG and PP jailbreaks getting patched up in iOS 8.4.1, the jailbreak community is forced to downgrade their OS back to iOS 8.4.

However, some veteran jailbreakers have released an unofficial version of the Evasi0n 8.4.1 jailbreak to fill the void until the Evasi0n team comes out with the official untethered version of the same.

Interested users can go ahead and install the Evasi0n 8.4.1 jailbreak on their device, using the step-by-step guide provided below.

IBTimes UK reminds readers that it will not be held liable for any damage to device during or after the jailbreak installation. Users are advised to proceed at their own risk.
