NXBoot - Fusée Gelée / ShofEL 2 implementation for iOS​

Hi GBAtemp,

After the teaser here and in the iOS payload loader discussion thread I'm releasing my utility to the world. It supports loading any payload by importing it via the GUI, can quickly switch between payloads via 'boot profiles,' and can boot Lakka/Coreboot/Linux.

Thanks to everyone who participated in testing!

Note that a jailbroken device with iOS 10 or later is required.

Project Website: https://mologie.github.io/nxboot/

Attribution and prior work: Fusée Gelée by ktemkin and ShofEL2 by the fail0verflow team served as reference for payload construction. @JustBrandonT worked on a similar app independently of this project.

Let me know how it goes and in case of questions ask away in this thread.

2018-07-20: A macOS and iOS command-line tool is available from the NXBoot homepage

2019-09-02: Source code released at https://github.com/mologie/nxboot

Nope. Requires a device with a lightning connector running at least iOS 10.0

Just when i thought it can be done on a non-jailbroken device lol. But good work though.

I expect this to be a news story.

Jokes aside, great tool. I dont use an iPhone but I am sure this will help alot of people!

Does iphone 5 work?

It means iOS 10 and below right? So a jailbroken iPhone on 11.3 wont work?

well iOS 10 is supported on iPhone 5, so yes.
Provided you can run Luca's Jailbreak still

Hi, thanks for your work. Could you please add the .IPA file? so no JB is needed, only Cydia Impactor.

Best

As an extension to this question, is your app entirely reliant on being in a jailbroken environment for sandbox reasons? or could I sign it with my development profile and run it that way? Thanks either way.

Unfortunately it requires a jailbreak, because the sandbox blocks access to the kernel objects for USB device access.

Ah, figured it would be something along those lines. Anyway thank you for your work!
