Good news for owners of the iPod touch (5th generation), Apple TV (3rd generation), iPad mini, and iPad 2 (iPad2,4). The posting of decryption keys for these devices means eligibility for all sorts of 32-bit downgrade and dual-boot tools.
CoolBooter, the iOS dual-booting utility, was updated again today to Beta 11. The command line version has also seen improvements in the last few days.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to use the command line version of the dual-boot utility CoolBooter.
CoolBooter, the dual-boot utility for legacy jailbroken iOS devices, saw an update yesterday. The CLI version also received a bump, which added support for a new target iOS version.
Developer Jonathan Seals recently released a new piece of work called CoolBooter, an interesting tool which allows some 32-bit devices to dual-boot different iOS firmwares. With a simple reboot it can allow, for example, switching between iOS 6 and iOS 9. Whilst this functionality is commonplace in the desktop computing world, booting multiple operating systems on iOS devices is much rarer.
Sebastien and I talked briefly about the tool on Let’s Talk Jailbreak 157, and in this article I’ll give some more info, as well as a video demonstration of it in action.
