[[Image:Openiboot.png|thumb|right|200px]]
[http://iphonelinux.org iPhonelinux] is a project which goals are to port linux on the iPhone and make a Free (free software) OS alternative to the Apple proprietary "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS iPhone OS]".

iPhonelinux is not actually a hack/exploit neither an unlock, but it is based on the [[Pwnage]] exploit.

There are three steps in the iPhonelinux roadmap : OpeniBoot, linux kernel and long term (GUI, phone...)

== OpeniBoot ==
The Goals of OpeniBoot is to run low-level code, to have low and critical drivers (nand and nor driver, NVRAM...), debugger and development environment (chainloading, upgrading itself and USB mass storage).

== Linux ==
A linux Bootloader, a working linux kernel (just a question of cross-compiler), porting drivers, run wifi and command line thru SSH.

== Long-Term Plans ==
Multi-touch driver, Baseband driver, port X server and create an SDK.
Then have a viable alternative of the iPhone OS.

== Binaries ==

These are utility binaries precompiled on Ubuntu 8.10. They require:

- libpthread
- libncurses
- libusb
- libreadline

You may elect to build them from source by pulling from
iphonelinux/openiboot's git repository.

== Disclaimer ==

BE WARNED THAT THESE STEPS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR NOVICES. YOU ATTEMPT THIS AT
YOUR OWN RISK. AT THIS TIME, WE CANNOT AFFORD THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO GIVE
SUPPORT TO NOVICES AND/OR RESCUE THEM FROM THEIR OWN ACTIONS.

Although unlikely, if the installation goes wrong, you may have to perform a
DFU restore on your iPhone. If you do not know how to do that, you should not
follow these steps. You should also know how to use iRecovery (or similar) and
the fsboot command to "kick an iPhone out of recovery mode". If you do not
know how to do that, you should not follow these steps.

The installation of openiboot itself is safe, but openiboot has the facility
to erase device-specific information from your NOR flash. If you did not make
a backup, and execute the commands necessary to make openiboot erase that
information, it is gone forever and your device may never boot properly again.

The instructions below will show you how to make such a backup before any
changes are made.

== Installing OpeniBoot ==

1. Put your iPhone in [[Recovery Mode]].

2. sudo ./loadibec openiboot-2g.img3, or -3g, -ipod, depending on your platform.

3. sudo ./oibc

4. nor_read 0x09000000 0x0 1048576

5. ~norbackup.dump:1048576. This will create a file called norbackup.dump in your current directory. GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE.

6. install

7. After 'install' has finished, type in: reboot.

8. You ought to see the openiboot menu.

== Booting Linux ==

Use the Hold button to navigate the menu. Push the Home button
when openiboot client is selected.
sudo ./oibc
!zImage
kernel
!rootfs.arm.ext2.gz
ramdisk 3588
boot "console=tty console=ttyUSB root=/dev/ram0 rw"
sudo ./linux

You should now get a login prompt. Nothing that's happening will show up on
the LCD automatically, but you can redirect it to the display with the
following command:

sh 2>&1 > /dev/tty0

Enjoy!

== iPhone Linux Resources ==

- Framebuffer driver
- Serial driver
- Serial over USB driver
- Interrupts, MMU, clock, etc.

=== OpeniBoot Resources ===

- Read-only support for the NAND

=== OpeniBoot Missing Resources ===

- Write support for the NAND
- Wireless networking
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Accelerometer
- Baseband support

=== Support ===

The current userland we're using, in the interest of expedience, is a Busybox installation created with buildroot, but glibc works fine as well, and we're going to build a more permanent userland solution.

A demonstration video can be seen here: http://www.vimeo.com/2373142

If you're experienced with '''hacking/porting Linux''' and especially if you're experienced with porting '''Android''', I'd definitely like to hear from you. Come chill in the ''#iphonelinux'' channel on ''irc.osx86.hu'' . If you're not experienced, and still want to help, you can digg/slashdot this posting to heaven so our little project gets more visibility. Thanks. :)

[[iPhone OS]] is the operating system developed by Apple Inc. for the [[iPhone]] and [[iPod Touch]]. [[iPhone OS]] has four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The operating system takes less than half a gigabyte (GB) of the device's total memory storage, this means that users will not get thier full storage space.

IHassan: /* Jailbreaking Process */

[[Image:Ipod-touch.jpg|thumb|right|iPod touch 1G]]
This is the '''iPod Touch''' (trademarked as iPod touch) it is a portable media player with a Wi-Fi platform designed by [[Apple Inc]]. The product was launched on September 5, 2007 at an Apple hosted event called ''the beat goes on''. The iPod touch is the first iPod to introduce a multi-touch graphical interface to the iPod generations. It is availible with 8, 16, or 32GB of flash memory. It also includes Apple's popular browser [[Safari]]. With a Software update introduced by Apple, users were granted access to the [[App Store]]. Users who had Jailbroken thier iPod touch could use a Mobileinstallation patch to avoid paying for applications at the [[App Store]].
==Internals==
See: [[N45ap (Internals)]]

== Application Processor ==
It makes use of the [[S5L8900]] application processor. At this time, the [[iPhone]], [[iPhone 3G]], and [[iPod Touch]] all use this same processor.

== Jailbreaking Process ==
[http://www.theiphoneguru.org/wp-content/uploads/QuickPwn22.zip QuickPwn] currently supports [[iPhone 3G]], [[iPhone]] and [[iPod touch]](1G). You update through [[iTunes]] then run QuickPwn, this version supports all firmwares up to 2.2.
