EtasonJB Jailbreak

EtasonJB is a specialized untethered jailbreaking tool designed for all 32-bit devices (excluding Apple TV) operating on iOS 8.4.1. This includes iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Mini, and iPod Touch 5. The jailbreaking tool can be installed using Sideloadly since AltStore does not support iOS 8.

After installation, the EtasonJB app is easily accessible from your device's Home Screen. Initiating the jailbreak process is as simple as launching the app and selecting the blue Etason JB button. The app will then exploit the iOS, allowing read and write functions to the kernel and installing Cydia as the standard package manager.

By employing the Cydia app, users can integrate new repositories and install tweaks that breathe new life into older devices. Without jailbreaking, iOS 8 devices offer limited utility. Moreover, EtasonJB ensures an untethered jailbreak for iOS 8, maintaining the jailbroken state even after a device restart, thereby eliminating the need to re-jailbreak after each device power-down.

The Etason untether, created by developer @tihmstar (also the mind behind EtasonJB), is an untether package specifically for 32-bit devices running iOS 8.4.1. This package leverages the Pegasus jsc bug and bootstraps the Etason jailbreak. By default, EtasonJB installs this package quietly in the background.

Please note, if you've downgraded from iOS 9.3.5 to iOS 8.4.1, it's essential to carry out a full erase before using EtasonJB to ensure the Cydia app appears. The latest version, EtasonJB Jailbreak RC5, was released in 2017, while the Etason untether package received its most recent update in 2021.
