You need OpeniBoot installed and your iPhone must be a 2G or 3G model; iPod Touch 1G works too. Included are the sources that you must compile yourself for the iPhone; a binary is included for the iPod Touch.
Because of its current state I’ll as
k you visit the PSFreedom iPhoneLinux wiki page to download.
From the README:
Quote:
Just a small testing release of PSFreedom for iPhoneLinux.
A precompiled kernel/initrd is in the iPT1G folder, the USB kernel
patch is in the PSFreedom/iphone folder. It should be applied to
kernel_common from the iDroid-Project user on github as detailed on
the idroidproject.org web site
.
The android.img.gz is the initrd plus a testing boot script, the
.ko should go in /lib in it.
To build PSF, use ‘make clean && make iphone’ from the PSFreedom
folder as usual.
At the time, Backup Manager isn’t working (and no, it’s not due to
the /dev_bdvd patch), but I’m working on fixing that.
Don’t expect too many support, as this is just an ‘early’ preview.
Booting the initrd will work by using the ‘Android’ menu option in
OpeniBoot. Once the screen starts filling up with ‘INIT’ you can do
the starting as usual with ‘jailbreak’ devices. Note that the iPhone
should be the only device plugged in the PS3′s USB ports.

It’s progress all right. Sooner or later the whole process will be simplified — you can count on that. Be patient — don’t update to 3.42. Good lookin’ NTAuthority. Props.

Openiboot Installation:
Requirements
•A PC running a Linux operating system
◦git revision control system. This package is called “git-core” in some operating systems, such as Ubuntu.
•A “pwned” iPhone or iPod Touch. A device can be “pwned” using either the Pwnage Tool or QuickPwn, both of which are available at
You must login or register to view this content. .
Check out the code:
Quote:
git clone git://github.com/planetbeing/iphonelinux.git
cd iphonelinux/
The following is a general copy/paste of the RUNNING in openiboot folder:
Building openiboot for the first time:
1. Build an ARM toolchain (only needs to be done once):
1. Run, as root:
Quote:
toolchain/build-toolchain.sh make
2. Wait, for a long time, as the toolchain is compiled.
2. Compile OpeniBoot:
1. To run openiboot from the recovery mode (a.k.a iboot), you’ll need to create an img3 image.
2. Build: (A system capable of running x86 Linux binaries is required. If compiling on 64-bit linux, you may need libc6-dev-i386 and type
Quote:
export ARCH=x86_64
before you proceed with the next steps.)
1. For iPod touch, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=IPOD make openiboot.img3
2. For iPhone 2G, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=IPHONE make openiboot.img3
3. For iPhone 3G, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=3G make openiboot.img3
4. If you have linker problems with mk8900image please see Common Issues and Questions
3. Compile all in client/ :
Quote:
cd client && make all && cd ..
(requires libusb, libreadline and pthread)
4.
Quote:
sudo client/loadibec openiboot.img3
5. Run the client:
Quote:
sudo client/oibc
3. To install openiboot in the NOR (optional): run “install” in openiboot client (to uninstall, restore/update/run QuickPwn)
Updating an existing openiboot installation:
1. Pull the new code from Git: (“git pull” if you already downloaded the code using Git)
2. Compile openiboot, but this time you don’t have to make an img3 image:
1. For iPod Touch, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=IPOD make
2. For iPhone 2G, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=IPHONE make
3. For iPhone 3G, run:
Quote:
PLATFORM=3G make
3. Compile all in client/:
Quote:
cd client && make all && cd ..
(requires libusb, libreadline and pthread)
4. Launch openiboot, using the menu on the device.
5. Run the client:
Quote:
sudo client/oibc
6. Copy the openiboot binary in the device memory:
Quote:
!openiboot.bin
7. Jump to it:
Quote:
go 0×09000000
8. Relaunch openiboot console using the menu on the device.
9. Relaunch the client:
Quote:
sudo client/oibc
10. Install the new version:
Quote:
install
