How to jailbreak iOS 8.4 with TaiG 2.2.0 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

TaiG has just rolled out its latest jailbreak tool (v2.2.0) for iOS 8.4, close on the heels of Apple releasing its latest iteration of iOS software, the iOS 8.4.

Meanwhile, the internet is abuzz with news of the PP jailbreak developer team releasing yet another jailbreak for iOS 8.4, based on TaiG's jailbreak code.

The changelog for TaiG v2.2.0 suggests that the new jailbreak supports all iDevices running iOS 8.1.3-8.4. Interested users who wish to jailbreak iOS 8.4 can go ahead and accomplish the task, using the step-by-step guide posted below.

Note: Like all previous releases, the TaiG 2.2.0 is exclusively a Windows-only jailbreak tool and requires the Windows virtual machine to run the same on Mac OS X computers.

Prerequisites

• Back up important data and settings on your device via iTunes, before you proceed
• Ensure that you have disabled Find My iPhone, passcode lock and location services from the device's settings
• Enable Airplane mode on your iOS device
• Verify that your iOS device is recognised in iTunes on the computer, before running the TaiG tool

Key points to remember

• TaiG 2.2.0 tool can jailbreak iOS 8.4, 8.3, 8.2 and 8.1.3.
• Back up important data and settings on your device via iCloud or iTunes including all personal information that you need. The jailbreak has been reported to be extremely stable.
• Disable any security software including anti-virus programs or firewalls temporarily as it could prevent TaiG jailbreak from connecting to the internet.
• If there is a warning of "Storage Almost Full", please run Cydia.
• If jailbreak failed, turn off WIFI and try again. If failed again, please use TaiG Pro to restore and try to jailbreak again.
