The Pangu team today released an updated version of the Pangu jailbreak that fixes booting issues a number of users have faced after restoring their devices from backup.

The updated version of the tool comes with Cydia 1.1.16 that was released yesterday. You can download Pangu 1.2.1 for Windows from this link.

The previous update to Pangu added Cydia and English support.

Although the tool is Windows only for now, the team has said that they’re working on the long awaited Mac version of the jailbreak, and it should be coming out in the next couple of days. If you’re a Mac user and can’t wait until then, you can install Windows in a virtual machine and use Pangu. Instructions below.
