# About the project
This is a WIP iOS 32-bit (atm) kernel patcher. The project is by all means
not to be used in any sort of production environment. This is and will always
be a library to help understand, develop, and automate certain patches to
an iOS kernel in particular.
# How the project works
So far, the only thing that is being done is that a binary file is being
passed to find offsets with a given pattern and is patching 1 or more bytes to
disable certain aspects of a decrypted kernelcache to enable restoring unsigned
firmware. This does not patch the kernel to be used in a jailbroken environment.
That requires more patches, but will be added to this project eventually.
# What's being patched
Unfortunately, I'm not fully certain what these patches do, however I know that
the patches that are being used tie into codesigning, amfi, signature checking,
and more. I'm not aware exactly what is being patched, but the patches that are
being used are derived from the sn0wbreeze project, which provides patched iOS
ipsw's which can be used to either jailbreak or to preserve the baseband that
comes with the ipsw. So far, the patches that are from the baseband preservation
mode that sn0wbreeze offers are being used in this project.
# What versions and devices are supported
So far, iOS 5.x is supported for iPhone 3GS. The patches themselves should be
very close or exactly the same. Only real differences between devices is where
everything gets loaded. 5.x have been tested and all of them restore without
issues.
iOS 6.0 and 6.1.3 are supported in 1.0.6. Version 1.0.5 should not be used
as I forgot to add a few lines to have 5.x work again. Please use >=1.0.6 for
all use cases.
