IPSWTool – Coming Soon – Modify/Customize PWNED iPhone Firmwares

IPSWTool from theiphoneproject.org is going to bring the same user friendly GUI interface to customizing your PWNED firmwares, as iLiberty+ and iPlus brought to unlocking and pre-installing applications/fixes. You will now also be able to select the apps you want preinstalled/bundled with your PWNED custom ipsw and then use iTunes to restore your iPhone with the modified firmware file (ipsw) and viola, you will have a custom Unlocked, Jailbkreaked and Activated iPhone with your apps (installer, ssh, bsdsubsystem, appsupport etc) pre-installed. That should make restoring and unlocking your phone easier than ever before. Have a look a the demo video below for more info.

Planned features for release

The following features are planned to be included in the first release of iPSWTool

  • Add custom applications/patches/wallpapers/ringtones (Obviously)
  • The ability to read an iLiberty payload and convert it’s instructions in a way that they will be applied to the IPSW (May require a few modifications to the payload and/or sh script, but we’ll be sure to put up a few detailed articles about doing that later on)
  • Limited partition customization, for now (Change the size of the OS/Media partitions, but no creating additional ones or making it only one partition, just for now)

Future Planned Features (For a later release)

  • Custom img2 Wizard
  • Complete iPhone filesystem backup
  • Partitioning Wizard
  • Patching Wizard
