TaiG

TaiG (Taiji in Chinese) ( /taɪ dʒi/ or /taɪ tʃi/ ) is an untethered jailbreak for all devices on iOS 8.0-8.4, except the Apple TV and Apple Watch. It was initially released on 2014 for 8.0 - 8.1.2 but since updated to support 8.1.3 - 8.4.

At some point of time, all TaiG download links have been made not working, rendering this jailbreak method unavailable. Even you can get one from a mirror, the application will still try to access TaiG server which is no longer running.

Supported Devices
All devices capable of running iOS 8.0-8.4 (except the Apple TV family and Apple Watch) are supported.

iOS 8.2 Beta
TaiG's website originally claimed as early as 2014that "support of iOS 8.2 has been completed by TaiG, [but] as 8.2 is still at beta stage, we have disabled support for 8.2 in [the] current public release." This claim remained through 2014, but was removed sometime before.

On 2015, version 1.3 was released to jailbreak iOS 8.2 beta and beta 2.
