At long last, Pangu - the go-to jailbreak tool for iOS 8.x - is now available for both Windows and Mac. The tool allows you to do an untethered jailbreak on iOS 8.1 (iOS 8.0-8.1) on most iDevices. After an initial release that did not bundle Cydia, we've come a long way now. Pangu now jailbreaks your iDevice and installs the latest Cydia by default.
Initially, when Pangu was released, you had to install Cydia manually (as the jailbreak didn't bundle Cydia with it). Right now, everything has been set as one would expect out of a jailbreak tool. Here's how to jailbreak your iPhone/iPad using Pangu (1.2.x) on Windows/Mac:
