iPhone SERIAL HACKED, FULL INTERACTIVE SHELL

[geohot]

Your friends at #iPhone made a major breakthrough this morning.
we got a serial console working, here is how
the serial has the same pinouts as iPod serial
use a 6.8kish resistor from pin 21 to gnd
tie pin 11-sergnd to the real ground
use iphoneinterface to send the following commands in recovery mode:
setenv debug-uarts 1
saveenv
reboot
that should work

IT GIVES YOU A FULL INTERACTIVE SHELL
I REPEAT, A FULL INTERACTIVE SHELL

The command list is:

You need a level convertor, like the max 232 to make this work

Can we get instructions to access the serial posted in here?

Man you guys are freakin cruising along!!!

I don't yet own an iPhone.... was kinda sorta trying to hold out till its first hardware bump but you guys are making things AWFULLY difficult to resist picking one up... :p

Some of the yummier cmds I see:

tftp tftp via ethernet to/from device
radio Manipulate the radio board.

Er. The first post contains the instructions.

or did you mean a quick course in soldering, basic electronic theory, TTL logic, and how to rx/tx via your serial ports?
