Prerequisites
Before you proceed to the jailbreaking process, there are certain requirements that you must fulfill. I am listing down those requirements in the next section.
- Before you dive into the process to jailbreak, make sure that you have turned off lock screen passcode or Touch ID. To do so, all you need to do is to head over to Settings -- > General -- > Touch ID & Passcode -- > turn off Simple Passcode.
- Make sure the Find My Phone is turned off. To make it happen, head over to Settings -- > iCloud -- > Find my iPhone.
- To run, Pangu requires some space. So, make sure that you have storage space in your iPhone.
- Make sure to turn on the Airplane mode. Of course, you can turn it off once you are done with the jailbreak process.
- For the jailbreak to work, you need to have iTunes restored version of iOS 8 / 8.1. In case you updated from iOS 7.x to 8.x via OTA, then sorry, jailbreak won't work for you. In such case, you can go ahead and download iOS 8.1 and can restore using iTunes. Don't panic! Many online guides are available to help you out in it.
- Since there is possibility of getting data wiped up, so make sure you take backup of all important data so that you can restore it anytime you want to. You can take backup through iTunes or using iCloud. For the latter to work, head over to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and turn on iCloud Backup.
- Make sure to install iTunes 12.0.1 or later on your PC. During the jailbreak process, make sure you are running the iTunes in background.
- There is possibility that your device is not supported by this jailbreak tool. To clear the air of doubts, I am posting list of supported devices:
