Ziphone. Installer app, BSD subsystem, SSH. Bricked iPhone. Terror. Long walk. Hard reset. Twitter Rant. Backlash. RTFM. Passwd borked. Blush.
Installer or Cydia. Fink-like fence-sitting. RTFM for 135 minutes. Cydia. Installing. Moving sensitive data across partitions. Do NOT reinstall BSD Subsystems, _Fake_BSD instead. SSH to iphone works. iPhoneNotes too. Time to dive into Cydia and see what’s out there.
Today I find out about the theiphoneproject.
iPhone custom firmware http://theiphoneproject.org/b/macosx/iphonepwned/ but I just learned about Cydia yesterday! BootNeuter is what I need when I take my car into the shop and have to swap out the computer (custom turbo booooost controller.)
theiphoneproject: Can you give us an overview of the process?
The Devs: In all honesty, it’s quite simple. This is the first release of Pwnage, and the process of building an IPSW is thus far only supported on Mac OS X. The first thing to do is make sure you have the Official IPSW of the firmware you are running (eg. If you are running 1.1.4, download 1.1.4). Now open the Pwnage tool, and click “Browse .ipsw” and browse to the firmware file that you just downloaded. Next you click the “iPwner” button, and watch as PWNAGE patches the iPhone bootlader, making it possible to circumvent any code signing checks. After this, your iPhone will reboot. As the iPhone reboots, exit the Pwnage app, and reopen it.
Here is where the magic happens, once the phone has rebooted, click on “IPSW Builder,” and you are presented with a list of the building options (jailbreak, unlock, etc..) including the all new “BootNeuter,” the ultimate iPhone unlocking solution. Once you have customized your IPSW, hit OK and let Pwnage build the restore file. Next we head to iTunes, option+click on the restore button, and navigate to the custom ipsw that you just created,. Hit OK and we’re done! iTunes will restore the iPhone to the state of your choosing (Be it jailbroken, unlocked etc…).
iPwner has released PWNAGE into the wild. Anyone try it yet?
