Ready? Lets begin!
Step 1: Even though this jailbreak tool works on older versions of iOS 8, as mentioned above, we recommend updating your device to iOS 8.4 first if you haven’t already before going ahead with the jailbreak. You can get the iOS 8.4 firmware file from here: Download iOS 8.4 Final IPSW Links For iPhone And iPad.
Step 2: Get TaiG jailbreak tool for Mac OS X from here: Download TaiG iOS 8.4 Jailbreak For Mac OS X.
Step 3: Turn Find My iPhone off from Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone to Off.
Step 4: Turn off Touch ID/Passcode on your device from Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.
Step 5: Now connect your iOS device to Mac. If your iOS device shows a prompt to ‘Trust This Computer?’, tap on Trust.
Step 6: Launch TaiG jailbreak tool for Mac OS X that you downloaded in Step 2 above.
Step 7: Check Cydia and Uncheck 3K Assistant option.
Step 8: Now click on ‘Start’ button to begin the jailbreak process.
Step 9: Now just sit patiently for TaiG tool to jailbreak your device. This may take a while. Don’t do anything until you see ‘Jailbreak succeeded!’ message.
Step 10: After the jailbreak, your device will reboot automatically and you’ll have Cydia on the home screen. Launch Cydia to start tweaking your device!
Don’t forget to enable Touch ID/Passcode and Find My iPhone after the jailbreak.
