The Joys of iOS 8.3: Why Not a Jailbreak?

I'm running iOS 8.3 on this guy right here, and I have to say, it's got some really cool features like new emojis with different skin tone colors, a new menu for them too, and a plethora of bug fixes. But you know what would be even cooler? A jailbreak! Why not release a jailbreak for iOS 8.3, right? It makes sense that they would want to support the latest firmware, but I guess that's just speculation at this point.

The Tai Jailbreak Team: Will We See a Release?

Comics in a tweet didn't say anything about a jailbreak release today, but who knows? Maybe it will happen soon. The Tai jailbreak team hasn't made any official announcements, so we'll just have to wait and see. But I still have hope that we'll see an 8.2 jailbreak released, maybe even on iOS 8.3. After all, there's always another firmware ahead of it, might as well enjoy the one we have right now.

Preparing Your Device for the Future

If you haven't already, make sure to save your shsh blobs on the current iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.2 jailbroken devices in Cydia. To do this, search for "Apple File Conduit 2" in Cydia and install it. This is a crucial step in the shsh process, even if you're not currently jailbroken. In the future, if an 8.3 update comes out but only supports 8.2, having your shsh blobs saved will give you the option to downgrade to that firmware.

Saving Your Shsh Blobs

To start this process, download and install Tiny Umbrella. You can find tutorial and download links below. Right-click on the downloaded file (on a Mac) or run it with administrator rights (on Windows). If you're jailbroken, right-click on your connected device and select "Fetch iOS Device." If you get an error message, simply unplug and replug your device, then try again.

The Importance of Saving Your Shsh Blobs

If you're not currently jailbroken, saving your shsh blobs is still important. It provides security in case a future version of the firmware needs to be released, but there's no way to downgrade to those shsh files at the moment. However, it's likely that this will change in the future, and having your shsh blobs saved now will give you peace of mind.

A Word from the Author

Unfortunately, we didn't get a jailbreak release today, but I'm still holding out hope that we'll see one soon. Maybe on iOS 8.2, maybe on iOS 8.3. The Tai jailbreak team works hard to bring us these tools, and I appreciate their efforts. If you're like me, stuck with an outdated firmware, keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for updates.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys everything Apple Pro here and here's a quick jailbreak update for iOS 8.2 so a lot of people are in a state of confusion right now today is March 27th at the moment I me making this video the jailbreak Summit event has happened yet there's no jailbreak in sight I want to go ahead and clarify why there's no jailbreak today what's going on what are the developers thinking and when are we likely to see a jailbreak so first off the jailbreak Summit event did happen we were never guaranteed a jailbreak there was some speculation by Comics by ionic that a jailbreak could happen on iOS 8.2 after this event on March 27th yet we haven't seen one today so it's very unlikely will be released today tomorrow you know anytime around now so that leaves two options one either the iOS 8.2 jailbreak is complete and the jailbreak team known as Tai chooses not to release it at the moment now there could be several reasons for this for one iOS 8.2 is a follow-up to 8.1.3 there's really not much that's changed other than the Apple watch support and to them it doesn't make sense to release this Jailbreak on this version when iOS 8.3 is right around the corner 8.3 being the firmware that includes a ton of new features a lot of emojis a lot of bug fixes definitely better fluid animations I did a full review on that few days ago so if you guys want to check that out you can see that right there but 8.3 is much more likely to receive a jailbreak than 8.2 now the other reason they might not have released it is they don't have one apple did patch one of the major exploits used in an IOS 8.1.2 Jailbreak so there could be complications with making an iOS 8.2 jailbreak hopefully it's the first option hopefully they have the jailbreak they're just waiting out on Apple to release a newer update and guys it really makes sense I know it's really painful waiting for me too I want to jailbreak all my newest devices yet I can't and it's painful but it's worth it because in the end you'll be running the newest firmware if the Tai jailbreak team does decide to release the Jailbreak on iOS 8.3 so unfortunately you guys can't jailbreak at the moment but there are a few things you can do to prepare yourself for the Jailbreak in the second portion of this video I will be showing you guys how to save your shsh blobs from an already jailbroken device as you guys can see right here I have 8.1.2 and I'm going to show you guys how to save the shsh blobs for this firmware just in case you're still jailbroken so that in the future you may downgrade back to it just in case now I'm pretty much making this video to help a lot of people who are confused because a lot of people are taking advantage of the moment right now to push their spam and fake jailbreaks out now I want to make sure you guys know there is no current jailbreak for 8.1.3 or 8.2 don't fall for anybody's trick you know there's a lot of that going around right now so follow the jailbreak developers only they will be able to tell you when a jailbreak is out right away but guys unfortunately there is no jailbreak today and it's unknown there is literally no word from the Tai jailbreak team they haven't said a thing so it's all speculation at this point but hopefully we could see a jailbreak with a release of iOS a 8.3 but then again it really doesn't make sense I mean why not release a jailbreak for 8.2 because there will always be another firmware ahead of it might as well enjoy on the one we have right now now iOS 8.3 which I have running on this guy right here you know it does have a lot of new features it would be nice to have a Jailbreak on this version and uh just to show you guys I am running 8.3 right here the latest beta you know there are some cool features like the new emojis which you can choose different skin tone colors there's a new menu for them too really cool stuff and there's definitely a lot of bug fixes it would be nice to see a Jailbreak on this version but you know we don't have any guarantee that we will see one an 8.3 and hopefully if an 8.2 jailbreak is released we could see it on 8.3 as well and iOS 8.4 is already in the works as well the main feature for 8.4 is going to be a beats music streaming service so that's on the horizon as well might as well release a jailbreak right now now comics in a tweet did say that it wasn't released today but who knows you know it could be released in the future he doesn't know anything about it the Tai jailbreak team hasn't said a thing about it it's all speculation guys but I still have hope to see one on 8.2 so anyways let's go to the second portion of this video and I'm going to show you guys how to prepare your device for the jailbreak if you haven't done so already I'm going to be showing you guys how to save your shsh blobs on the current 8.2 as well as iOS 8.2 if you guys are still on it and jailbroken now in Cydia I want you guys to go ahead and search for one thing I want you guys to search for Apple file conduit 2 and go ahead and install it so this is a crucial part of the shsh process if you're on a jailbreakable firmware if you're not jailbroken still do this it's very important in the future if an 8.3 update comes out and then the jailbreak only comes out for 8.2 you want to have the option of being able to go back and that's exactly what I'm showing you right here is a fail safe all right so you guys are going to want to download the latest version of tiny umbrella and you guys can find the tutorial and download links down below anyways right click on it on a Mac or a Windows computer Windows select runers administrator on Mac select right click and open so now that this is open you guys want to make sure you have that file installed if you're jailbroken if not you still want to do this so go ahead and take that cable and plug it in the rest of the process is entirely automatic for non- jailbroken users it'll go ahead and see all the shsh blobs you have and save all of those accordingly now if you are jailbroken go ahead and click on the current device plugged in right click on it and select fetch on board this will go ahead and take the shsh blob that you have on your device as a result of that file we downloaded from Cydia and if you get this error message it's really simple all you guys got to do is go ahead and unplug your device plug it back in go ahead and right click on it and select fetch on board and boom there you go I have my iOS 8.2 version saved just like that if you get the error message again just unplug and replug now if you're not jailbroken you'll see 8.2 which is still important that's pretty much some security that you could get a Jailbreak in the future if it's released on a future version at the moment there's no way to downgrade to these shsh files but but that is in the works and it will most likely happen all right guys so there you go just thought I'd clear up some confusion unfortunately we were not given a jailbreak today and I'm still holding out hope that we could see it in a few days maybe a week on iOS 8.2 hopefully if not iOS 8.3 is the next big bet and don't think for a second there won't be a jailbreak there will always be a jailbreak Guys these guys work so hard I mean the Tai jailbreak team thank you so much for everything you do anyways hope you enjoyed this little update guys I hope I helped prepare your device for the future just in case it could come in hand Cy have a great day peacewhat's up guys everything Apple Pro here and here's a
