WARNING: BOOTLOADER MODIFICATIONS & KERNEL FLASHING
Before doing anything: First, I recommand to use an old iPhone that you don't use, like mine which has some dead pixels at the bottom of the LCD screen. If its the phone you use everyday, backup your iPhone with iTunes because if iOS becomes unstable after iDroid installation (it might happen), you still have a copy of your precious data.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR IPHONE BY FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL.
OpeniBoot is an iBoot alternative for Bootrom level hacked or exploited iDevices. With that, it is possible to dualboot a linux kernel with iOS. Compatibles iPhones and iPods Touchs are mostly models which it is possible to change boot and recovery logos with jailbreaking tools, such as iPhone 2G, 3G and iPod Touch 1st generation. OpeniBoot is made to run very low-level code on iDevices, thats why it needs a bootrom exploit.
IMPORTANT:
If your iDevice is jailbroken with any userland jailbreaks such as JailbreakMe or Spirit, bootlace (OpeniBoot install tool) will not work or OpeniBoot install will fail and you will have to restore your iDevice.
iDroid is a project which is an Android port for OpeniBoot compatible iDevices.
