G3hex:

'''Marc Alexander Reed''', known as '''g3hex''', is a computer programmer -- generally motivated towards hacking -- from the United Kingdom. He's currently developing '''iOSO''' ('iOS Open'), a jailbroken custom firmware, intended to remove the need to update through iTunes, thus by doing so, loosing your jailbreak -- ultimately removing the need to re-jailbreak. The idea is to create an open-source parallel-existence of iOS, much like that of Open-iBoot (by planetbeing?).

'''g3hex''' is currently 16 years old, and living in Northern England. He started programming when he was 11, and hacking when he was 14 or so. He generally programs in C/++, but has experience with: Java, Assembler (IA16 Intel-style), C#, PHP, SQL, HTML, etc. (Of course, I generally wouldn't count the last one as too significant, but nonetheless should be included for clarification purposes.)

'''g3hex''''s experience generally covers developing multiple game engines (discontinued, to say the least). However, he occasionally works on system utilities, and has recently embarked on an iOS-orientated path of work -- *nix more so. He's a former member of a development team of 13 members called '''ShockCaliber'''. However, soon after the leaving of '''DevShock''' from the coalition, the team began to deteriorate, due to internal domestics regarding several members, whose names shall not be disclosed to the readers of this wiki. He later after embarked on yet another development team, with a programmer and an artist, from the previous team. Soon after this team changed from being that of a somewhat formal development group, aimed at game-development, to that of a generalised internet 'fellowship' -- more so a band of 'techsavies'; the team was named '''cosec-dev'''.

It is now, here in '''cosec''' (generally lower-case to show the hacking-orientation, which generally comes with laziness of typing), that '''g3hex''' is now developing iOSO, and several other non-disclosed projects, of no apparent public interest.

IRecovery

2012-11-04T20:43:11Z

G3hex: Added note about 'bgcolor' command.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:iRecovery}}
iRecovery is a libusb-based CLI utility for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. It is able to talk to [[iBoot (Bootloader)|iBoot]] and [[iBSS]] via USB. It's completely open source; the source code is released under the terms of the GNU GPL v3. The full license text can be found in the LICENSE file on github.

It currently connects to:
* [[DFU 0x1227|0x1227]] ([[DFU Mode]]/[[WTF]] Mode 2.0)
* [[Recovery Mode (Protocols)#Recovery_Mode_2.x_.28DevID.3D0x1281.29|Recovery Mode 0x1281]] (Recovery Mode/iBSS)

==Credits==
westbaer

==Thanks==
[[User:Pod2g|pod2g]], [[tom3q]], [[User:Planetbeing|planetbeing]], [[User:Geohot|geohot]] and [[User:posixninja|posixninja]].

==Features==

===DFU 2.0 (0x1227)===
It can upload a file, such as an [[iBSS]], so that you can unplug and spawn a shell with 0x1281.

===Recovery 2.0 (0x1281)===
====File Uploading====
You can upload a file to 0x9000000 with the following syntax:
./iRecovery -f file
In newer builds that use libusb-1.0 this is now
./iRecovery -u file

====Two-Way Shell====
You can spawn a shell to do all sorts of neat things with the syntax:
./iRecovery -s
Once it has spawned, you can type 'help' and iBoot will respond with its built-in command list.

====Single Command====
./iRecovery -c "command"
Sends a single command to the device *without* spawning a shell.

====usb_control_msg(0x21, 2) Exploit Command====
./iRecovery -k
Sends Chronic Dev's + Geohot's latest usb exploit. Implemented into blackra1n.
This was updated near October 17, 2009. [http://github.com/posixninja/irecovery posixninja's fork]
In newer builds this is now -e

====Auto Boot====
You can now enable auto-boot by running:
./iRecovery -a
or by sending /auto-boot in a shell.

====USB Reset====
Reset USB
./iRecovery -r

====Batch Scripting====
iRecovery now supports batch scripting, this allows you to send commands to iBoot from a pre written list of commands, this also suports scripting such as /auto-boot and /upload <file>
./iRecovery -b <file>
or in a shell:
/batch <file>

====Raw Commands====
You can now send raw commands via the -x21 -x40 or -xA1 flags

==Example Output==

iRecovery -s
