The Chinese team has just released a new updated version of Pangu untethered jailbreak tool to finally support Mac OS X software. The update comes with English language support and more bugs fixes. Now I think it is the right time to start jailbreaking your device with a great safety.
Important notes you should know before applying the jailbreak on your device:
- Pangu is an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1.
- Pangu supports following iOS 7.1 – iOS 7.1.1 devices:

- Take a backup of your device using iTunes before proceeding.
- Please ensure you’ve updated iTunes to the latest version.
- Please note that jailbreaking your iOS device may void your warranty and hence proceed with caution and at your own risk.
