Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
When TaiG released its iOS 8.3 jailbreak early this morning, it was largely assumed that saurik would need to do something on his end to ensure compatibility with Cydia Substrate—the support framework used to run your favorite jailbreak tweaks.
As it turns out, that's not exactly the case. In fact, saurik himself has cleared the air, making it apparent that the ball is in TaiG's court when it comes to providing a fix for substrate.
Thankfully, the 20% error that was causing us problems earlier today has been solved. If you received this error, you need to downgrade your version of iTunes.
I decided to downgrade to iTunes 12.1.0 as suggested by several of my Twitter followers, and just like that, it worked. If you're having problems with TaiG 2.0.0 hanging at 20% completion for the iOS 8.3 jailbreak, then try downgrading your version of iTunes.
Many would-be jailbreakers are stuck at the 20% progress mark with the just-released TaiG 2.0.0 jailbreak tool for iOS 8.3. The jailbreak starts well enough, but after a quick takeoff, putters out at the 20% mark. Thankfully a workaround is now available.
After a few minutes of being stuck on 20%, the iPhone will reboot and will stay stuck at 20%, and the reboot process will continue. Are you experiencing this issue? Sound off in our comments
A jailbreak has been released for iOS 8.3 by the TaiG team. This jailbreak supports iOS 8.1.3 through iOS 8.3 and is Windows only.

The tool, which is dubbed TaiG 2.0, can be downloaded right now from our downloads page.
This release is quite interesting, since it was thought that the Pangu team would be the one to release a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 and TaiG would focus on iOS 9. That, obviously, is no longer the case.
When you're half awake, tapping the tiny "tap to snooze" button on the Lock screen can be a daunting chore. Fortunately, if you're a jailbreaker, it's much easier to snooze an overzealous alarm
By turning your Lock screen into one giant button, SnoozeHelper (free) makes it super easy to snooze a pesky alarm clock. Watch our video walkthrough inside to see what I mean.
Jailbreakers Nikias Bassen (Pimskeks) and Melissa Archer have teamed up for a new security-oriented jailbreak tweak called Blocked. Released at WWJC 2015, Blocked brings two new operation modes to the iPhone for enhanced security.
The two modes, SleepMode and GuestMode, each work to block access to certain features. By using Activator gestures, users can quickly and stealthily enter either mode to beef up device security.
Watch our video walkthrough inside to see how to the tweak works.
In what seems to be the most uneventful week we've had in a long time, we saw the release of only a handful of tweaks, and nothing to really call home about.
Columba was the talk of the town, but those who tried it quickly came to the conclusion it doesn't hold a candle to biteSMS, a tweak it claims to be a replacement for.
Browsing through the new jailbreak apps and tweaks of this week won't take you long...
biteSMS is long gone, and as such, jailbreakers have been clamoring for an adequate replacement. Well, I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is there's another potential biteSMS replacement available for jailbroken iPhones. The bad news is it's nowhere near as polished as biteSMS and it's simply not ready for prime time.
Columba, as the tweak is called, is available for $2.99 on the BigBoss repo. Not only does it bring quick reply and quick compose to the table, but it also promises scheduled messaging and messaging templates. Have a look at our impressions to read our thoughts on the release.
In the last few days, Ryan Petrich has updated the Activator beta with two new releases, beta 2 and beta 3 of Activator 1.9.3. The releases bring a plethora of new fixes and features to Activator, and it's obtainable by anyone who has Ryan's beta repo added to their list of Cydia sources.

Even if news of a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 has been floating around, we shouldn't yell victory too soon. As far as I'm concerned, I won't get excited until there is tangible evidence that this is indeed happening. In the meantime, we can all look at we can use right now, namely a bunch of tweaks that have recently been released on Cydia.
Good news today for jailbreakers who are hoping to update to iOS 9 this fall. Speaking with Forbes' Thomas Fox-Brewster, Liang Chen of the elite hacking group Keen Team says they're eyeing the firmware to release their first ever jailbreak.
Right now, Chen says the team is prodding the recently released iOS 9 developer beta, and may even reach out to the well-known Pangu Team for assistance. “We want to release it just after iOS 9, that’s our plan," he told Forbes. “It depends how lucky we are.”
