We don't talk to the iPhone via AFC. We talk to the iBoot (Recovery Mode), which is implemented in iPHUC tool.

In iBoot you upload a file to RAM (no jailbreak required) and then change boot-args to boot it.

setenv boot-args rd=md0 -s -x pmd0=0x09CC2000.0x0133D000

fsboot

I'm not sure about the last command, you must try it. If it does not work, try 'bootx'.

This is just a 'overall' explanations to give someone that is not involved a 'clue'.

Could please someone explain more specifically to enable an experienced user to follow the hack?

Ramdisk Hack

It's not difficult at all. You just send a file to 1.1.4 or lower iBoot (iphuc: sendfiletophone or something) then "change" some boot-args. -wEsTbAeR--
