The Chinese hacking group Team Pangu is back and if rumors are true an iOS jailbreak based on versions 10.3 to 10.3.1 will be released in the next few days. Reports said the jailbreak at work was recently demoed in Shanghai, China.

According to iDownloadBlog.com, the latest iOS crack from Pangu will come rolling out within a week. Prior to the announcement, the group took the stage during the Shanghai event and presented to the audience what appeared as a jailbroken iPhone 7 running on iOS 10.3.1. But as iDB noted, the photos and clips so far that are making their round on China's social networking sites remain unverified.

But if indeed Pangu found a way to crack iOS 10.3 and up, which Yalu jailbreak maker Luca Todesco said is nearly impossible to modify, then it surely is good news for jailbreak fans left to make do with the existing JB tools that don't work on all 64-bit devices and have certain restrictions.

The Yalu jailbreak, for instance, is hampered by limited coverage and will not run on the iPhone 7 series. On Pangu's part, the latest creation from the group was Pangu9 and only works for iOS 9.2-9.3.3. And both solutions are semi-tethered, meaning a re-jailbreak is required every device reboot, and plagued by the 7-day signing issue.

It remains unclear if the new Pangu jailbreak will be free of the problems mentioned but per WCCFTech, the upcoming crack is designed for all 64-bit devices, indicating that iPhones and iPads issued from 2013 and up will be covered.

However, the same report indicated that when the new jailbreak is out it will only apply on devices currently running iOS 10.3 and 10.3.1. There is no possibility at the moment of the solution working on earlier firmware versions, the report added.

That being the case, iDB highly recommends saving "your .shsh2 blobs with TSS Saver for iOS 10.3.1, and you will be able to update later with Prometheus." Doing so will increase the chance of accessing the new Pangu jailbreak in case it becomes public soon.

But it's important to note that Pangu actually releasing iOS 10.3-10.3.1 jailbreak is realistically a moonshot for now. Back in July 2016, the same group showed off Cydia running on the then unreleased iOS 10 but nothing came out of the demonstration. Will history repeat for Pangu this 2017?
