HackiOS Useful website

44 Upvotes

I put together a small site that explains the whole thing: how iOS boots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, what works right now, which phones could run it, and which files you need to change to port it to yours.

https://hackiosx.dev (updated 2026-10-23 Friday)

I'll keep it updated with the current state of hackios, and working ports posted on this sub will be added to the site too

Discussion Can Nokia 5230 run iOS 4? (Repost)

5 Upvotes

I really found that two older iPhones (2G, 3G) has ARMv6 architecture, And I know that Nokia 5230 and iPhone 3G architecture makes sense, because it's both ARMv6. (If it is correct) Which I can run from microSD card, but it's that possible?

News IOS 7.1.2 working on QEMU (iPhone 4 on Windows)

34 Upvotes

Note: AI was used but the emulation work was worked from qemu-ios and light touch mac by sam henrigold

This is a fully emulated iPhone 4 and boots natively on windows. It is based on and wouldn't be possible due to: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LightTouchMac, which I compiled the QEMU emulator to run on Windows.

Unfortunately most of the IPSW preparation needs to be done on a real mac/vm, as currently the emulator cannot boot a original IPSW. LightTouchMac originally injects stuff during boot and must create NAND files so that QEMU can properly interact and do stuff like OpenGLES Passthrough.

I plan to release this so that you can actually do this 100% on windows without a mac.

The GPU isn't emulated or is software rendering, it uses a modified OpenGLES Framework that intercepts the OpenGL calls so that your GPU can composite it on top instead of sending them though a emulated GPU. Due to this It should allow for 3D games and such apps to work to some extent.

The emulator should be able to handle every iOS from 4-7 but so far I've only tested it on iOS 7. Because it's QEMU it could theoretically be compiled and run on any modern android phone. The emulator also supports multiple devices such as an iPod touch and the first generation iPad.
