    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    It's not that smart ;). NXBoot does not (and will never) include any payloads, it'll just be outdated too quickly. The --hekate option just enables controlling Hekate but it does not provide a Hekate payload by itself. You can place Hekate anywhere and must specify the path to it (just like...

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    I'd have to guess, but did you copy the latest Hekate .bin to your iPhone? Without the .bin file on your iPhone (in your working directory where your terminal runs) nxboot has nothing to load and send to the Switch. It's the same on PC or pretty much any other platform.

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    I have released a small update of the command line tool (not app!) at: https://github.com/mologie/nxboot/releases/latest This update enables setting Hekate boot options for automatically booting your switch, which is pretty useful for software development among other things. Examples: nxboot...

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    If you are unfamiliar with how to use a shell it boils down to this: First change to nxboot's directory (cd command), then make the command executable (chmod +x nxboot), finally run it via ./nxboot, for example ./nxboot -h to see all available arguments. There is a nice article here how to use...

    Sure, just add the package name to the repo URL like so: https://mologie.github.io/repo/com.mologie.NXBoot-0.1.1-5.deb

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    Could you try whether it works out of the box on your 12.1.X device? NXBoot uses only standard (but internal on iOS) APIs and relies on some sandbox wizardry from the jailbreak. If Chimera handles the sandbox correctly then no update for NXBoot is needed. Great to hear that it works with...

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    This project depends on neither Cydia nor Substrate. All it needs are proper sandbox patches, which I assume are not implemented to a degree in unc0ver that would make NXBoot work. I have not yet had the chance to look into making it compatible (or working with unc0ver's author to fix it on the...

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    It appears as if unc0ver does not correctly apply sandbox exceptions then. I unfortunately do not have a device ready to test with unc0ver. An OTG adapter will to the best of my knowledge always be required, because the iPhone must act as USB host and can only do so with the adapter.

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    Sure, go right ahead. I'm glad to hear it works on iOS 12 too. Keep in mind however NXBoot uses Apple's sandbox but adds exceptions for USB device access via an entitlements file. Depending on how uncover works, it might be that it disables the sandbox completely. If the sandbox is off...

    Hacking RELEASE NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS

    Ah, I see. However, I'd rather not go into the direction of building temporary jailbreaks into NXBoot. Once a full jailbreak is released NXBoot should function on iOS 12 too.

    Nope, not possible. I have updated the FAQ to cover your question, because it is asked often in this thread.

    Hi! No device will be detected when you do this. Please check the FAQ on the project website. I can't tell you if this will fry your device specifically -- only that it didn't fry mine, but did not work.

    This has been answered in this thread before: A jailbreak is unfortunately required.
