In the new iOS 8.3 software, Apple has patched a total of 39 security flaws including the one concerning (CVE-2015-1087) TaiG jailbreak, the developer team which had rubbished all rumors about an iOS 8.2 jailbreak release. In case you have accidentally updated to iOS 8.3 or on purpose for all of those sweet sweet improvements, you can always downgrade your device to iOS 8.2, as Apple has not yet blocked the signing window for this. The reason you would want to downgrade iOS 8.3 is to give yourself the best shot at jailbreaking and at the moment, iOS 8.2 is the most likely firmware to receive a jailbreak.

How to Remove iOS 8.3 Update and Restore iOS 8.2 on Your iPhone, iPad or iPod
Step 1: Download iOS 8.2 ISPW
Step 2: Disable “Find My iPhone”
Step 3: Connect iPhone and Start iTunes
Often, we’re sad to see the signing of an older firmware cease, since, for example, said version may be jailbreakable. However, not only is iOS 8.2 not susceptible to any exploit – if you discount the first two betas that can be jailbroken via TaiG – but it’s perhaps the buggiest release under iOS 8, aside from the marked disaster that was iOS 8.0.1. Thus, even if you are partial to a Cydia tweak or ten, it shouldn’t negate the fact that iOS 8.2 is going to cause you plenty of problems, and so while iOS 8.2 is no longer being signed by Apple, you ought not shed a tear.
