Boot-args (iBoot variable)
Revision as of 21:15, 9 June 2020 by Vanished user 20210509 (talk | contribs) (rd/rootdev confusion; I don't backlight-level is a boot-arg, only an env variable)
These are boot arguments that the iOS kernel accepts. These can be booted with a patched iBoot; untethered BootROM jailbreaks such as redsn0w and checkra1n do this when you set custom boot-args.
