Install Android on iPhone 2G (3G) in automatic mode

image
It so happened to me that I want to touch most of the new products that come out with my own hands. This applies to everything - from new gadgets to beta software versions. So when I found out that Android can be installed on my old iPhone 2G - my hands were itching.
Previously, this process was rather complicated and nontrivial, but the wonderful utility iPhonedroid appeared on the network - with the help of which, this procedure became much easier.

Here is a list of what we need to install:
  1. Directly iPhone 2G (or 3G, but I did this procedure only on my old iPhone 2G 8Gb).
  2. Any Mac (I checked on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3 installed).
  3. UCustom firmware 3.1.2 .
    In principle, any other firmware 3.1.2 will do (with the firmware 3.1.3, the procedure will not work), I chose uCustom for minimalism and the ability to quickly install everything we need to download Android.
    I want to emphasize that the Spirit jailbreak is not supported!
  4. A set of utilities MacFUSE .
  5. IPhonedroid utility .
  6. Access to a Wi-Fi access point.


Bringing the iPhone on alert
My iPhone worked on the basis of the latest firmware 3.1.3, so for the sake of the experiment I had to download the previous firmware from uCustom and flash it again. The procedure is basically trivial, so I will describe briefly:
  1. Download uCustom.
  2. Backing up your device in iTunes.
  3. Making a recovery to the specified firmware.
  4. We restore our information from a backup copy.
  5. We connect to Wi-Fi, while remembering to remember the IP address of the device.
  6. Open blackra1n on iPhone and install OpenSSH from there.
  7. Reboot the device.
  8. Disable auto-lock in the settings.


Preparing Mac for Android Installation
  1. We check the availability of the iPhone in the wireless network (I have the address 192.168.0.157), as well as the ability to join via OpenSSH (access must be standard - root / alpine):

  2. Download and install the latest version of MacFUSE.
  3. Download and run the iPhonedroid utility (it works without installation).
  4. Choose the right iPhone model (in my case, iPhone 2G):

  5. Choose what we want to do - install or remove Android:

  6. Enter the system administrator password:

  7. Specify the IP address of the iPhone (Mac and iPhone, of course, must be on the same network):

  8. Specify the password from SSH, if it is changed, if not - from just continue:

  9. That started the installation! On average, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes. Under this window you will open a terminal window, which will vary in different colors and sizes. Processes in the terminal can sometimes stand without action — you don’t need to be scared.

  10. When all 15 points are completed, you will see a window with a choice - if you want to install OpeniBoot. If there was no Android on your iPhone, select the first item.

  11. And here I’m probably wrong and in vain I chose the first item - because the installer failed to run the backup and the installation process hung with an error message. However, nothing critical came out - since the installation process for Android, in fact, has already been completed.

  12. Then I was asked to transfer the iPhone to Scroll mode ( here you can see how to do it) - that is, hold down the Power and Home buttons and hold them for a long time until you see the OS selection. I want to note that I managed to do this only when the iPhone was connected via USB to a MacBook.

  13. Then we get into the OpeniBoot loader, in which, by pressing the Power button, select the Android item and click on the Home button.

  14. Android download starts, which can take quite a while.

That's all! Now you have Android and iOS on the same device.
Android turned out to be quite working (version 1.6), except that everything is still quite wet. Although I was pleasantly surprised that you could make and receive calls, as well as send SMS.
Of the minuses I can note:
  1. Strongly buggy Wi-Fi
  2. Memory was not defined as an SD card (you need to finish it with your hands, as far as I know)
  3. There are no services from Google.
  4. iPhone is very hot
  5. There is no way to turn off the screen
  6. The camera does not work (because of the SD card, again)

Note: to reboot (including between operating systems), simply connect via USB to your Mac and hold down the Power and Home buttons, as in the Android installation process.
I apologize for the quality of the photo - at work there wasn’t even a soap box at hand - I photographed on a MacBook webcam.
UPD: Thank you for giving an invite nolled !
