Jailbreak from Linux
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
You'll need *SUN VirtualBox* with working kernel modules and a working Windows VM.
|
|
|
|
1. setup the VM to use USB through an USB 2.0 controller
|
|
1. you may add a device filter for USB - fill only the following fields (this ensures that the device will be auto-connected to the VM):
|
|
* **Name:** Apple iPhone
|
|
* **Manufacturer:** Apple Inc.
|
|
1. startup the VM
|
|
1. now download the *redsn0w* tool and run it (close iTunes beforehand)
|
|
1. it should detect the iPhone and give you the recovery mode instructions, do so
|
|
1. if the USB filter works, the jailbreak should work as on a normal Windows PC, if not, here comes the tricky part:
|
|
* when you are instructed to hold the buttons for several seconds, after you have released the power button and are still holding
|
|
the HOME button, right-click the "USB Plug" of VirtualBox to see if an Apple device has appeared. This happened for me at
|
|
around 16 seconds left to hold. You have to close the context menu and right-click the icon again to see newly appeared devices.
|
|
If the new Apple device appears (something like "iPhone (Recovery mode)") click it to connect it to the VM.
|
|
* if the QuickPwn/redsn0w finished "uploading hacked bootloader" and is stuck at 100%, just use the USB menu to disconnect the
|
|
iPhone (listed as "Recovery") and find the "iPhone in DFU mode" in the context menu and connect this one. After that, the
|
|
jailbreak continues until the end.
|
|
* when the jailbreak is done, use the context menu to unplug the iPhone which will automatically reboot your phone and install
|
|
the Jailbreak
