How to Jailbreak iOS 7.1.2 with Pangu Jailbreak – Step by Step Tutorial

Apple recently released iOS 7.1.2 to improve iBeacon connectivity and stability, to fix a bug which caused data transfer issues for some 3rd party accessories and bar code scanners, and more importantly, to fix an issue with data protection class of Mail attachments. Surprisingly, Apple did not patch the hole that allowed Pangu jailbreak to work untethered on iOS 7.1.1.
