Pangu 1.2.0 released with Manage Storage bug-fix: How to jailbreak iOS 9-9.0.2 untethered

Pangu, the popular Chinese jailbreak developer team, has just released its newest version (v1.2) of iOS 9-9.0.2 jailbreak tool with numerous fixes including the Manage Storage bug-fix and the latest version (1.1.26) upgrade to Cydia Installer. Pangu has also released a new Cydia update for Pangu 9.0.x untether package, along with the new Patcyh fix for an issue that prevented users from accessing URL scheme in Mobile Safari.

Here is the complete changelog for Pangu 1.2.0:

• Bundle latest Cydia with new Patcyh which fixed failure to open url scheme in MobileSafari
• Fixed the bug that "preferences -> Storage&iCloud Usage -> Manage Storage" keeps spinning

Those who failed to jailbreak iOS 9 through iOS 9.0.2 earlier can now retry the process by downloading the new Pangu 1.2.0 jailbreak for Windows only. Pangu is yet to release a working iOS 9 jailbreak for Mac OS X, and hence it is necessary to use Windows Virtual Machine for jailbreaking iOS 9-9.0.2 on Macs.

Those who are already jailbroken on iOS 9-9.0.2 can upgrade to Pangu untether package (v1.2) directly via Cydia and there is no need to re-jailbreak the device. Just launch Cydia and refresh the available updates via Changes tab in Cydia.

There is no working jailbreak for iOS 9.1 till date. So, prospective jailbreakers are encouraged to hold off upgrading their devices to Apple's newest iOS iteration. If you are already running iOS 9.1 then you must downgrade back to iOS 9.0.2, which is the last iteration that is jailbreakable with Pangu 9.

Avid jailbreakers who have not been able to jailbreak their device successfully on iOS 9 through iOS 9.0.2 can now do so by using Pangu 1.2.0 tool and our step-by-step guide posted below.
