Compiling OpeniBoot For All Devices

To start with, download the required files:
51-android.rules: http://www.mediafire.com/?w88nig8q5p8zcwt
libcurl: http://curl.haxx.se/

First of all, extract the libcurl package to your desktop then you can follow the commands as is.

- cd Desktop/curl-x.xx.x (substitute the "x"s for the build number you have)
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- cd ../../
- sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev libreadline6-dev readline-common libreadline6 libreadline-dev texinfo cmake git-core build-essential texinfo libreadline-dev libssl-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libpng12-dev libusb-dev autoconf automake libnewlib-dev scons manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
- git clone http://github.com/iDroid-Project/openiBoot
- cd openiBoot
- sudo toolchain/build-toolchain.sh make
- git submodule init
- git submodule update
- cd openiboot
- scons iDevice (a.k.a iPhone3GS, iPad1G, iPodTouch3G, aTV2G)
- cd ../utils/syringe && make && cd ../../
- cd utils/oibc && make && cd ../../openiboot

Provided you downloaded the .rules file, place it on your desktop then:

- sudo cp /home/<user>/Desktop/51-android.rules  /etc/udev/rules.d/

OLDER GENERATIONS:
Now you need to place your device into Recovery Mode (Connect To iTunes Mode) if you use any of the following:

iPodTouch1G
iPodTouch2G
iPhone2G
iPhone3G

And then:

- ../utils/syringe/utilities/loadibec device_revision_openiboot.img3 (e.g. iphone_3g_openiboot.img3)

NEWER GENERATIONS:
Alternatively, you need to place your device into DFU mode if you use any of these:

iPhone4
iPhone3GS
aTV2G
iPad1G

And then:

- ../utils/syringe/utilities/loadibec device_revision_openiboot.bin (e.g. iphone_3gs_openiboot.bin)


Recovery Mode users will need to select to boot into Console using the volume buttons to scroll and Home to confirm, whereas DFU mode users will boot straight into Console.

Wait until you see "OpeniBoot" on your device's screen, then type:

- ../utils/oibc/oibc

Your Terminal window should now match your device screen. Now just go ahead and enter the following command to install OpeniBoot. Note: Devices that used DFU mode to boot OpeniBoot can only *RUN* at this point in time.

- install

OpeniBoot will then be flashed to your device's NOR - This will take a while, your NOR will be backed up during this process, and can be found in the current directory as norbackup.dump.

At whichever point you wish to leave OpeniBoot just send the command:

- reboot
