  1. Running/Installing

If you're on linux, you'll need to install the following as /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="usb" ID_VENDOR_ID=="0bb4", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="usb" ID_VENDOR_ID=="18d1", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="usb" ID_VENDOR_ID=="05ac", MODE="0666"

Put your phone into recovery mode: hold home whilst powering on until you see the iTunes logo.

NOTE: For the 3GS, iPhone4, iPad and Apple TV 2G, you must put your device into DFU mode instead.

For iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G & iPod Touch 1G run: ../utils/syringe/loadibec openiboot.img3

For newer devices run: (substituting device and revision with the actual device, for example: iphone_4_openiboot.bin): ../utils/syringe/loadibec device_revision_openiboot.bin

You should now see openiBoot on your phone, use the volume buttons to scroll to the console icon, then press home

Run the client: ../utils/oibc/oibc

NOTE: You cannot install openiboot on an iPhone 4, iPad or new bootrom 3GS/iPT2G - you can only run it

You should now see the same output on your computer, as is on your phone's screen.

Type: install and press return

OpeniBoot will then be flashed to your device's NOR - This will take a while, your NOR will be backed up during this process, and can be found in the current directory as norbackup.dump.
