Apple is going to release iOS 8, the biggest ever update to iOS on September 17 which is tomorrow for some people. We all know that iOS 8 contains a lot of great features and improvements that many people have been looking for, there’ll still be a number of reasons you would want to jailbreak iOS 8.
Security researcher and hacker Stefan Essar aka i0n1c said back in June that many exploits that were used to jailbreak iOS 7.1.1 remain unpatched in iOS 8 betas, but it remains to be seen if the public release of iOS 8 continues to have these exploits unpatched. i0n1c additionally said that he’ll patch his iOS 7.1.1 jailbreak called Cyberelevat0r to work with iOS 8, but we doubt he has any intentions of releasing it to the public.
Download finished. Initial tests show that iOS 8 beta does not fix anything. Dumped kernel fine, but code changed and patches are not found.

I guess tomorrow I need a few hours in the office to fix the code and then the JB should be iOS 8 beta compatible.

In June, BlackGeek, developer of Geeksn0w, the tethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1.1 foriPhone 4, teased an unofficial version of Pangu that claimed to work with iOS 8. He added that he planned to release this unofficial version to jailbreak iOS 8 beta, but didn't end up releasing it.Among the series of proofs we've seen about iOS 8 jailbreak, a reddit user claimed to have successfully jailbroken his iPhone 5s running on iOS 8.
He posted screenshots of the Pangu app icon along with the redesigned iOS 8 Control Center, as well as the Pangu Mac app showing an iPhone 5s contacted that is running iOS 8.
It is still unofficial if Pangu team going to work on Pangu jailbreak to support iOS 8.
Stay tuned.
