== Overview ==
/private/var is the mount point for /dev/disk0s2, which is the iPhone's user/data partition. It is the larger of the two partitions, and stores all App Store applications, iTunes media, settings, photos, etc. Pre-1.1.3, all of this data was stored in /private/var/root. However, for security reasons, in 1.1.3 Apple made most applications run under the user mobile, and moved all of the data to /private/var/mobile.

== Add defunct firmwares? ==

There are some defunct firmware builds referenced in Apple's XML file (i.e.- [[M68ap|iPhone 2G]] 3A101a). Should these be added to this page, or not?
-[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 20:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:can we add recovery firmware like [http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-6618.20090617.Xse7Y/x12220000_5_Recovery.ipsw x12220000_5_Recovery.ipsw] and the ipod touch 1g had firmware 1.0 [http://appldnld.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-9054.20100907.VKPt5/iPod_1.0_36A00403.ipsw iPod_1.0_36A00403.ipsw] --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 15:18, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
::I wouldn't add the recovery IPSWs on this page... maybe they could have its own page, though. The "1.0" firmware that you linked to is definitely not for the iPod touch 1G; it's not set up like an [[IPSW File Format|IPSW]] that contains/uses iOS (there are only three files inside of it, one of which references "N20", not "[[N45ap|N45]]"), and the URL has a reference to the date September 7, 2010. I believe the URL is for the iPod nano 6G's firmware. --[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 15:33, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::iPod nano 4G and newer IPSWs have about 8 files inside (Just like the devices this website is about have Applelogo, Recovery, ChargingGlyph,...). If it has 3 files (osos, aupd, rsrc) it's for a "middle age" iPod and the first models required 4 files. [http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/Firmware Enjoy!] --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 15:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::BTW, the file Liamchat mentioned is for the "iPod touch not labeled as such and without the App Store" [http://www.trejan.com/projects/ipod/phobos.html#REGFIRMWARE Source]. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 16:04, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

== Clarification of "Can be unlocked" ? ==

I think we need a clarification what the "Can be unlocked?"-Column means. Because Northstar 7C144 on the 3G can be unlocked using pwnage (i.e. if you stay at BB 04.26.08). However if you'd upgrade to BB 05.11.07 it can't. --[[User:M2m|M2m]] 03:17, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Quote Oranav: "There's no point for an "unlock" column if we write "yes, stay at X".

I totally agree on this, however the Columns also states ''"Yes (Upgrade to 04.26.08)"'' for BB 01.45.00 - 02.30.03, while technically currently a working implementation only is available for 04.26.08 (ultrasn0w - yellowsn0w is not available anymore AFAIK). Like this I would think for BB 01.45.00 - 02.30.03 it should also read ''"No (Though you can upgrade to 04.26.08)"'' - or something similar.
Therefore my statement/request for a clarification.
Regards --[[User:M2m|M2m]] 02:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I am of the opinion that if the BB that ships with the given Apple IPSW is not unlock(ed/able) then it should be marked NO. It should be made clear elsewhere that 04.26.08 is suitable for devices looking for an unlock. [[User:Haldo|Haldo]] 13:53, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

The main difference here is that for older firmwares there's an upgrade path towards unlock. For example, if you buy a 3G phone now with 2.0 and BB 01.45.00, it can be easily upgraded to 3.0 and unlocked. On the other hand, if the phone has 3.1 and 05.11.07 pre-installed, there's no such upgrade path. --[[User:Blackbox|Blackbox]] 18:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

What about changing the title of the column to say "Can baseband be unlocked?" and then only answer yes if there is an unlock available for the baseband included in that version? [[User:Rekoil|Rekoil]] 21:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I've changed it to say yes only on the rows with basebands that can be unlocked "OTB". No one should have problems figuring out that you can upgrade to a version that can be unlocked if you're at a version below that cannot be unlocked. But maybe a clarification that you cannot downgrade basebands? --[[User:Rekoil|adriaaan]] 15:16, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

== Forbidden ==
There are some IPSW links which instead of a download link contain just the text "forbidden". It would be good to know at least the name of this IPSW. To make sure nobody puts a working download link there instead (later), we could leave the "forbidden" text there and add a link to Google with the full name in the search query. I think that would be ok. What do you think? --[[User:Http|http]] 19:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:I suppose supplying the firmware name would be fine, but I'm not a fan of linking to a Google search of the name as it would still promote piracy/copyright infringement. Perhaps we could use the "protected://" URL that Apple supplies in the [http://itunes.apple.com/version version XML], like how [http://www.trejan.com/projects/ipod/ Trejan] lists it. --[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 19:48, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

==iPod touch 2G/iOS 2.2 jailbreak status==

2.2 Timberline 5G77a iPod2,1_2.2_5G77a_Restore.ipsw 34a0a489605f34d6cc6c9954edcaaf9a050deedc No <-- shouldn't this be a yes with a superscript 1 for tethered as there were no real protections against using iBSS/iBEC from 2.1.1 on a 2.2 device, infact the run rs program was adapted to chainload a 2.2 iBEC/iBSS for devices that the NAND didn't detect with 2.1.1 iBSS {{unsigned|Lilstevie|10:55, September 30, 2010 (UTC)}}

:Please sign any entry you make on the talk pages. There is [http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/skins/common/images/button_sig.png a button] that will insert the markup for signatures. :) To my knowledge, redsn0w Lite provided a tethered jailbreak for '''2.2.1''', not 2.2. --[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 19:14, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

== Naming inconsistency ==
We have a separate page for each firmware, named with a name, a build number, and in brackets for which device (like "[[Kirkwood 7A341 (iPhone 3GS)]]"). Fine. But where does this name (Kirkwood) come from? I saw that there is a conflict for some names. Some are named Apex and others ApexVail, some Baker, others BakerVail, some Jasper, others JasperVail, some NorthVail, others Northstar, etc. Can we rename some of those? And to what? -- [[User:Http|http]] 23:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
:I would remove the ones without vail as a decrypted firmware shows vail in the name... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
::"Vail" identifies a private (non-GM) beta. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 14:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
::All beta rootFS images end with "N88DeveloperOS" in the label instead of "N88OS". --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 14:44, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Now we have the mess. We have a page called [[Apex 8A293 (iPhone 3GS)]] for the final version and a page called [[ApexVail 8A293 (iPhone 3GS)]] for the GM release. Both have the same build number. What should we do in this case? -- [[User:Http|http]] 21:27, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't say that is a mess, in that case, the GM was the same as the Final as they didn't find anything wrong with it --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::If I'm not mistaken, "ApexVail" is actually an incorrect name; I think the GM was named "Apex." I think the "Apex" page should stay, and denote the GM VFDecrypt key on it. --[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 23:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::ApexVail is correct --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 00:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::ApexVail, because *this* GM uses UUID whitelist activation. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 13:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Hmm... I took another peek at GM builds of iOS 4.0, and both the BuildManifest.plist and filesystem carry the name "Apex," not "ApexVail..." --[[User:Dialexio|Dialexio]] 22:24, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::Now that is a confusing predicament :P --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:26, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

==Description==
iDecrypt is a GUI front-end for [[VFDecrypt Keys|VFDecrypt]] for Windows / MAC OS X . It's used to decrypt .dmg files, namely the rootfs of an IPSW file.

The tool is very simple to use - it requires you select the file you want to decrypt, '''The app will get the key AUTOMATICALLY ''', choose the output folder (or simply use the default one), then click "Decrypt DMG". It's a simple two-step process, which is considered much more convenient than using cmd by Windows users.

New version released ! All credit go to [[User:bennyyboi|bennyyboi]] , here are the changes in 2.2 / 1.2 :

-- Automatic Key detection **

-- New Faster Decrypting .

-- New Better , Newer and faster UI , using less processing , giving better performance .

-- Added links to redirect to the keys available in the iphonewiki .

-- New bugs fixed , you can select .DMG files only , disables the button while decrypting .

-- Warns you what to select so you don't get in trouble .

** :You should not rename the extracted .dmg .

=='''Dependencies'''==

iDecrypt uses the 4.0 [[wikipedia:.Net framework|.NET framework]] so you have to install it to use this program :) You can download it [http://filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_4/ here].

=='''Errors'''==

There are some '''things''' can't be called errors like :

- Even if the key is wrong, it says "Decryption is done!" which is wrong

Look at the HTML source of the page. Is this comment new? [[User:Angelo|Angelo]] 23:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yep. I've looked at the source of this page before and after this update. The John Galt is probably meant to throw us off. Geohot does that. :P But, yes, it's new. ~Drake

== Explanation ==

So, I'm sure most, if not all, of you are confused. This Limera1n is nothing more than a plot by geohot to get the chronic dev team to incorporate the exploit used in limera1n into greenpois0n. This is not plausible because the exploit in limera1n is a bootrom level exploit, which can be used to make a jailbreak (albeit [[tethered]]) on its own. To make greenpois0n untethered, chronic dev has used a tweak by comex (in userland) to patch the kernel. The exploit in Limera1n can be used at a later date to make another untethered jailbreak, but it's better to leave the lower level exploits until later, after all, either way, it produces the same affect. To implement the limera1n exploit into greenpois0n, they'd have to rewrite the entire jailbreak, which would offset the release. This should clear up confusion. ~Drake

I reckon it was the iphone dev teams fault if they just had to release spirit after the iphone 4 was released there would be no drama because the ipod touch 4 would hav been jailbroken via star. --[[User:Robinhood|robinhood]]

I think Geohot told someone about his exploit and apple attempted to patch it in a4 bootrom [http://mobile.twitter.com/musclenerd/status/26801617164] --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 01:54, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

===UPDATE:===
A [http://twitter.com/#!/p0sixninja/status/26799962302 recent tweet] from iPhone hacker p0sixninja has just confirmed that the date WILL NOT be changed. If they can implement geohot's exploit before 10/10, they will use that. If they can't they won't. --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 00:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
: This has nothing to-do with Limera1n. -- [[User:Shorty|Shorty]] 01:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::It does. If they can integrate it into GP then there's not going to be a Limera1n. If they can't in time then there will be two jailbreaks released... --[[User:OMEGA RAZER|OMEGA RAZER]] 01:11, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::: This is a grand waste of a bootrom exploit though. ~Drake
:::: Geohot will not waste the exploit's used in limera1n but greenpois0n is using a bootrom exploit to inject a userland exploit that is odd --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 01:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes it does limera1n will use an untetherd bootrom and iboot exploit but Why does Geohot not want us to use comex's kernel patch just for 4.1 then when 4.2 is out we can use shatter to reuse the iboot exploit --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 01:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

the exploit used by [[limera1n]] is a [[24kPwn]] like [[bootrom]] exploit and a [[IBoot]] exploit ( read the second to last paragraph [http://posixninja.blogspot.com/2010/06/latest-progress-and-new-updates.html] ) --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 12:55, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Image Taken Down ==

I'm just speculating here. With all this controversy, I am on the edge of believing... Also, the image was taken down from the site... It gives you a bitly link that takes you back to the bitty link... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 14:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

:It is now very real [[greenpois0n]] will be cancelled (said by [[MuscleNerd]] [http://twitter.com/MuscleNerd/status/26860163077 Twitter Status]) and [[Limera1n]] will be used to jailbreak on 4.1 but [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple]] knows about both exploit's but [[Geohot]]'s has already being patched (patched in 4.2 beta 2 iboot [http://twitter.com/MuscleNerd/status/26860634891]) --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 19:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

::The exploit has not been patched though, but because of the code similarities geohot can tell his exploit will be patched anyway by iPad2,1 so he wants it to be used instead of wasted, greenpois0n and SHAtter should be kept as they will affect a larger crowd of iOS devices (assuming apple continue to use the A4 chip. --[[User:Shengis14|Shengis14]] 19:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

:::[[Geohot]]'s exploit will be used in [[greenpois0n]] if it can be utilised in time. Otherwise both exploits will be burned. In relation to the image being taken down, it was proving to be too popular, so imageshack moved it. --[[User:Mushroom|Mushroom]] 19:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

::::I dont think so we said a lot about [[SHAtter]] (if apple patch one of the three BSS+Heap+Stack the exploit wont work) so it may be to late to protect [[SHAtter]] but [[Geohot]]'s exploit was fixed in [[iBoot]] so [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple]] knows 100% what his exploit is --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 20:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== He did it==
It's in the wild. Thoughts? ~Drake

:::BETA2 naming means nothing. We need to delete SHAtter? Wtf? And also this exploit will either be named by Geohot or by it's technical name (like Environment Variable Overflow). [[User:Iemit737|Iemit737]] 00:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
::::I'd like to disassemble this and see what's in that exe of his. Anyone take a gander into this magical land of software yet? The payload's bound to be in there somewhere. ~Drake
:::::A dump has been released by ih8sn0w, see links. So much for the protection he put on it. It uses the ramdisk from purplera1n ( lulz). You'll need IDA Pro... [[User:Pwnd-v1|Pwnd-v1]] 13:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::Blackra1n uses purpled1sk too :/ All it is is an exploit like arm7_go in DFU that pwns iBoot (temporarily) and applies a userland jailbreak from a ramdisk. --[[User:Palz|Palz]] 22:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
the exploit ( it is a heap overflow ) is used to create a command called geohot ( in the [[NOR_%28NVRAM%29]] same as in [[Purplera1n]] ) maybe purpled1sk is the best for the job [[iBoot]] cannot be changed it will remove [[SHSH]] preventing the device from booting --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 22:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
:do u hear urself talk? the bootrom exploit in limera1n is not a heap overflow. -__- the heap overflow is the userland exploit used to achieve an untethered status.[[User:Leobruh|Leobruh]] 20:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC)!
The kernel patch ocurs after the lime logo is shown ( when a ramdisk is mounted ) after the ramdisk is sent you can disconnect the device --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 21:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== Pwnage ==

Does limera1n flash the NOR? I never managed to install a custom firmware after using limera1n.--[[User talk:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]], 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sign your posts, please. And, limera1n leaves your NOR untouched. All it does is patch the kernel (which is on your NAND). Theoretically, one might be able to restore to a custom firmware by jumping to a pwned iBSS or iBEC through the limera1n exploit and using that to trick the device into accepting the firmware, but I'm probably mistaken. --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 19:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:It leaves the NOR un-touched otherwise the signature checks would fail during boot. Hence the kernel exploit from [[User:comex|comex]] is used to patch the kernel at runtime. --[[User:GreySyntax|GreySyntax]] 19:49, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
::Thanks, [[http://twitter.com/iH8sn0w/statuses/27065535774 iH8Sn0w confirms.]] Sorry for the signature, I always forget to use that button. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 20:43, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== Support ==

I propose that appleTV should be removed from the supported list until further notice as while the exploit interacts with the bootrom, the ramdisk never executes to jailbreak the OS and leaves you in recovery mode (yet to establish if it is in a pwned state or not) --[[User:Lilstevie|Lilstevie]] 07:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Why no ipt2g support? ==

I have an ipt2g mc model. I currently have no 4.1 jailbreak, since sn0wbreeze is messed up and redsn0w hangs. Why doesn't this exploit work with the new bootrom touches? Have we been forgotten? --[[User:Palz|Palz]] 21:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

:It works for the ipt2g new bootrom, but geohot didn't take his time to remake anything so that it would work with our device. greenpois0n will support our devices, just takes a little while to write up everything needed. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 05:24, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Pwn4life ==

Is this a pwned4life? If it is, can a restore remove it? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 02:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
:A DFU Mode restore will return you to a fresh and all Apple state --[[User:OMEGA RAZER|OMEGA RAZER]] 04:20, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

:Pwned4life isn't like permanent jailbreak on the device, just means there is an exploit that will always be there to allow jailbreaks. A restore will get rid of it simple. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JakeAnthraX]] 19:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
