Finally after a long 7.1.1 download and restore, we're done! My iPad mini retina is jailbroken.

Just make sure you untick the box in the Windows app. Also, this is recommended.

7.1.2 beta also is included in this jailbreak, stated by ih8sn0w.

There is no 7.1.2 beta. iH8sn0w said that there is code to make it work on the public release of 7.1.2 which is supposedly coming out this Friday. If Apple somehow manages to patch this jailbreak with 7.1.2, this code is useless.

Not for 7.1.2. I'm an Apple dev and I just checked the dev center and there currently is no 7.1.2 betas. But there are iOS 8 betas

Here's the question I have before diving in on this, and perhaps dhlizard can chime in on this as well.

Can anyone verify that the group behind this jailbreak burned an already known exploit that could be used for a jailbreak, or was this a new exploit that they found and built a jailbreak around that?

I ask because of the entire fiasco with the last iOS 6 jailbreak that killed one of the easiest exploits the teams out there had. If this was a known exploit, that makes one less shot to have at one for iOS 8, should Apple patch it in 7.1.2 or the next iOS 8 beta. If it is a new one, then pretty much no harm/no foul, as I'm sure the evad3rs still have their list of exploits with them.

While I'm happy on 7.0.6, and would love to jump to 7.1.x and jailbreak, I just worry about what we'd have available for iOS 8 when it comes out.

BL.

yeah, I'm a little skeptical about a chineese jailbreak.

I don't think anyone's going to repackage it but that's my guess

I dont understand why these people don't wait until Apple releases the 7.1.2 update or even iOS 8? Why even risk it being patched?

Same thing with 7.1, it was like a week away and then Apple patched it.
