OpeniBoot

(This might get merged with iphone.md or idroidproject.md later) (TODO)

OpeniBoot is a forgotten bootloader for older Apple iThings that can run unsigned code, unlike iBoot. It is pretty buggy and the latest version is 0.3, it is made for booting Android on iThing, but it can also boot GNU/Linux.

OpeniBoot prior to version 0.3 have a menu with nice graphics but are less flexible. OpeniBoot 0.3 have a grub like menu and requires menu.lst file.

OpeniBoot supports:

  • iPhone1,1 (iPhone)
  • iPhone1,2 (iPhone 3G)
  • iPhone1,3 (iPhone 3GS) -partially
  • iPhone1,4 (iPhone 4) -partially
  • iPod1,1 (iPod Touch)
  • iPad1,1 (iPad) -partially?
