This was an exploit in pre 2.0 versions of iBoot

Exploit

This is a very simple exploit. In earlier iBoots, if a parameter was given to the 'diags' command, then it would jump to whatever address argv[1] specified, but not before disabling the GPIO devices. You can run unsigned code on the s5l using this, but the GPIOs need to be restored first.

In 2.0 iBoots, they check the permission register for this command, so the exploit doesn't work.
