Theory

Without decompiling iBoot 2.x, we can use openiboot.

  • For boot-args through libibooter
  • Ramdisk exploitation
  • Or even to open up the NAND to be mounted through USB on your computer.

RE: Theory

That is possible, but the end-goal is something for the end-user Right now wEsTbAeR is scoping out the iBoot to try to find a way to patch it to allow this.

Right now, even if you get iBooter / iPHUC working with 2.0, that does not matter, because boot-args are disabled. However, just kind of thinking out loud, it would be kind of interesting to see what else is still enabled / disabled...(boot-partition, boot-command, etc.)
