Revision as of 07:19, 22 October 2010

Commands used as an exploit vector

the armv7 go and stop do not have vectors you just point at the kernelcache and boot --liamchat 21:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

the usb_control_msg(0x21, 2) Exploit has a vector and there may be lots of tiny write zones in iboot --liamchat 21:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Article name

I'm not a big fan of the new name, so I'd like to propose a name change to "iBoot (Stage 2 Bootloader)." Would this be fine with others? --Dialexio 00:29, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

For me it was just important to separate the two iBoot's. That was very confusing. For me your suggestion would be ok. --http 06:19, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for making such a change without discussing first. I was excited about the fact that disambiguation pages work now and wanted these two things to separate long ago. Cydia Application is also not the ideal name. I'll discuss the next time first. --http 06:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
It's fine. :) I'll get to changing it now. Actually... would "iBoot (bootloader)" be a better name? The name probably doesn't need to be specific about which bootloader it is; it's mentioned in the article. --Dialexio 19:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I would use uppercase for the Bootloader as it is a title. Not sure though. And yes, you can leave "Stage 2" away if there only exists one bootloader. But isn't the Bootrom the "Stage 1 Bootloader"? In that case I wouldn't leave it away. --http 22:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
The stage 1 bootloader is actually LLB. However, I still don't believe that the "Stage 2" part should be included in parentheses; putting "(bootloader)" or "(Bootloader)" is sufficient enough to differentiate between this article and the bootrom's article. --Dialexio 23:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Ok LLB. Does LLB also have versions that begin with iBoot? Or is it included in the Stage 2 part? --http 23:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
LLB's version does indeed begin with "iBoot." It's the same version number as iBEC/iBoot/iBSS from the same firmware. --Dialexio 23:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
The Bootrom, LLB, iBEC, iBSS and iBoot all have the tag iBoot in their version numbers as they are part of the iBoot family, but iBoot(2nd stage bootloader) is the only one internally referred to as iBoot --Lilstevie 07:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
