Really cool concept, but my guess is the programming knowledge that would be required to understand and use the code correctly is immense. I'll bet 1 in every 10^5 jailbreakers will be able to use this as is... haha

Hahahahaha for real? Calling me foolish?

Try and use it then. Go ahead. I'll be waiting. He's published the shell code to help you bootstrap multiple OS's on a device - he hasn't published a tool that allows you to dual boot. It's missing so many pieces of the puzzle to dual boot. I laugh in your face.

I challenge a single person to actually get this working. I will literally give $5.000 to the first person who can show me they used this tool to dual/triple boot.

I don't know, they sent monkeys into space in the 60s when we were still using small am radios to get our news, so i don't think its a terrible stretch that some dude will figure out how to do it. Anything is possible. If you had asked me as a teenager if all the technology that is around today would be available I would have thought no way. Now, even my kids all know how to set up ipods, etc. and its not rocket science.

What does monkeys in space have anything to do with what we're talking about?
The 5S never had any firmware written below 7.0 genius.
You expect to put 5.1 or iOS 6 on it?
 
It isn't that hard to do. I recall doing with with iOS 3.1.3 and 4.2.1 on my old iPod Touch 2G. Lots of manual partition editing and rsyncing. Ended up becoming unstable as the two OSes didn't like sharing the same user partition.

As I said, I don't know all the specifics. But they once believed the world was flat and you COULDN'T cross the ocean-yet it was done. My analogy was simply that things that seem impossible, are often done.

Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be made to work in the future. I wasn't making fun, was simply pointing out that it's not impossible, though improbable maybe. Dare to think outside the box.

Not on a device with a bootrom exploit. Just load up a SSH ramdisk and edit away with fdisk.

i actually want to mess with this. what exactly do i need to do with fdisk? and what would i even use to open it? because if i use textrangler, it shows a bunch of undecipherable apple symbols, and if i open it with terminal, it says process completed...

lol i was messing around in cyberduck and found this

<key>iPhone11,3</key>
<dict>
<key>ConfigurationDescriptors</key>
<string>standardMuxPTPEthernet</string>
<key>deviceID</key>
<integer>4400</integer>

<string>Apple Inc.</string>
<key>productID</key>
<integer>4776</integer>
<key>productString</key>

It was years ago I did it. There's an old thread about it on iFans.com.

@iH8sn0w @coolstarorg @KShizoku There’s going to be no disk partitioner either. Reversing the partitioning style is left as an exercise.
