openiboot installation

How to install openiboot :

(You’ll find the same instructions in RUNNING in openiboot folder.)

Requirements

• A PC running a Linux operating system
  • git revision control system. This package is called “git-core” in some operating systems, such as Ubuntu.
• A “pwned” iPhone or iPod Touch. A device can be “pwned” using either the Pwnage Tool or QuickPwn, both of which are available at http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ .

Check out the code:

git clone git://github.com/planetbeing/iphonelinux.git

cd iphonelinux/

The following is a general copy/paste of the RUNNING in openiboot folder:

Building openiboot for the first time:

1. Build an ARM toolchain (only needs to be done once):
   1. Run, as root:

      toolchain/build-toolchain.sh make

   2. Wait, for a long time, as the toolchain is compiled.
2. Compile OpeniBoot:
   1. To run openiboot from the recovery mode (a.k.a iboot), you’ll need to create an img3 image.
   2. Build: (A system capable of running x86 Linux binaries is required. If compiling on 64-bit linux, you may need libc6-dev-i386 and type export ARCH=x86_64 before you proceed with the next steps.)
      1. For iPod touch, run:

         PLATFORM=IPOD make openiboot.img3

      2. For iPhone 2G, run:

         PLATFORM=IPHONE make openiboot.img3

      3. For iPhone 3G, run:

         PLATFORM=3G make openiboot.img3

      4. If you have linker problems with mk8900image please see Common Issues and Questions
   3. Compile all in client/ :

      cd client && make all && cd ..

      (requires libusb, libreadline and pthread)

   4. sudo client/loadibec openiboot.img3

   5. Run the client:

      sudo client/oibc

3. To install openiboot in the NOR (optional): run “install” in openiboot client (to uninstall, restore/update/run QuickPwn)

Updating an existing openiboot installation:

1. Pull the new code from Git: (“git pull” if you already downloaded the code using Git)
2. Compile openiboot, but this time you don’t have to make an img3 image:
   1. For iPod Touch, run:

      PLATFORM=IPOD make

   2. For iPhone 2G, run:

      PLATFORM=IPHONE make

   3. For iPhone 3G, run:

      PLATFORM=3G make

3. Compile all in client/:

   cd client && make all && cd ..

   (requires libusb, libreadline and pthread)
4. Launch openiboot, using the menu on the device.
5. Run the client:

   sudo client/oibc

6. Copy the openiboot binary in the device memory:

   !openiboot.bin

7. Jump to it:

   go 0×09000000

8. Relaunch openiboot console using the menu on the device.
9. Relaunch the client:

   sudo client/oibc

10. Install the new version:

    install
