If you have jailbroken iOS 6.1.3, then wait till the final jailbreak for iOS 9.1 that could be release soon, however, if you are already upgraded to 7.1.x, then its highly recommendable to upgrade your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 9
Do you wanna say something? Use comments…
Hi I had iphone 5c on ios 9 jail broken but had prob with phone so Apple shop exchanged it for another one this one is on 7.0.3 I have jailed it but want to upgrade to 9 and not the latest 8.1.3 is this possible as don’t want to lose jaibreak
I get into software update but it loading so long I have wait for 3 hour and it also cannot work
Hey Edward, I gonna update iOS 9.1 to iOS 9.1 iPad Air
Can you tell me how to update iOS 9.1 without losing jailbreak? I don’t wanna lose iPad Air jailbreak. I heard that evasi0n won’t able to jailbreak iOS 9.1
I wanna jailbreak iOS 9.1, can you help me how to do a jailbreak iPhone 5S iOS 9.1 with Evasi0n7 1.0.8?
My friend told me that the evasiOn is out for iOS 9.1 support and he has successfully jailbroken his iPad Air iOS 9.1 beta with Evasi0n7
I need real support, please reply
You’re going off the assumption that loud mouths like nerd and pod2g would flap their lips about having a Jailbreak for iOS 9 to themselves… perhaps they are keeping quiet. I don’t think Musclenerd would tweet this if he wasn’t sure about it somehow.
However, we are assuming he is right and that he does have a vulnerability or a jailbreak is definitely possible on iOS 9 based off of this tweet. There is a lot that is “unknown” right now based purely off of assumptions and very little concrete evidence, and that is dangerous territory.
I personally don’t feel comfortable updating because when they do release the JB, isn’t it usually usable on the current released version of iOS? Meaning you can update to that version and jailbreak in one sitting? I’d like to get rid of the “zooming” motion and patch the lock screen bug.. but a jailbreak is WAY more important to me. I sent a tweet to Musclenerd asking if he can confirm he has a vulnerability for a JB on iOS 9.1.
They are again and again tweeting about iOS 9.1 jailbreak, It seems like they are ready to release it.
I really wonder about who the people are making the comments trashing the people who put their time and efforts into creating a Jailbreak for the rest of us–FOR FREE! I personally do not mind waiting till all the pieces are in place to get an untethered JB for my iOS 9.1…I’m perfectly fine with iOS 9.1 right now. Seriously cannot think of a single thing I’m missing by not upgrading to iOS 9.1 or iOS 9.1, but I can think of NUMEROUS things that I would miss without my Jailbreak.
I suspect the silent majority (those patiently waiting) have a better appreciation for what it takes to put out a polished product. A product that could brick your precious iPhone 5S if it was half ass put together and released. Think about it, these few guys are going up against frakkin APPLE’s best to find exploits and vulnerabilities that Apple’s paid professional have missed. If anything, you should be outraged at Apple every time a Jailbreak for iOS 9 or iOS 9.1 comes out.
I applaud MuscleNerd and all his fellow talented jailbreaking buddies for the work they do AND putting up with the ingrates who thinks it is okay to bust their balls for not having a Jailbreak ready when they think they should have. Unless you’re actually putting money in their pockets for what their services…please (being polite)…
Can I upgrade my ip4 to iOS 9.1 and then downgrade if I want to to 6.1.2? PS I have those blobs saved with tinyumbrella.
If you have jailbroken iPhone 4S, I will not advice you to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 9.1 right now.
Better to wait for iOS 9.1 jailbreak.
I don’t have a jailbreak phone (iPhone 5C) and I’m on ios 8.1. I can jailbreak it to 9 and once the new jailbreak is out I can jailbreak it without problems?! If yes, I will update my phone and wait patiently for the jailbreak. (I hope that will happen soon! Go team!)
I am hoping the same, go ahead
Has anyone noticed that the screen flickers on ios 9? I don’t think I noticed it on ios iOS 9.1. I have an iPhone 5 an updated to ios 9 via the settings. I did a reset network settings and then a hard reboot after the update. Nonetheless, I started noticing the flickering. It comes and goes.
You can notice it barely when you double click the home button to look at the running apps. Switch between apps repeatedly and pay close attention. You’ll notice a bit of flickering. It happens on my girls iPhone 5c as well.
Maybe is a new bug on ios iOS 9.1? It’s rather annoying if you pay attention. Is anyone experiencing the flickering? I haven’t tried a full restore. Too much work.
