iPhone Dual-Boot Now Possible

It is now possible, thanks to Zdziarski (NerveGas, planetbeing, ghost_000, dinopio, bgm, MuscleNerd and the iPhone-Elite and iPhone/iTouch Dev teams), to dual-boot your iPhone (and iPod Touch)!

Here’s what Zdziarski had to say:

“I’ll walk you through a sample jailbreak scenario with 1.1.4, using 1.1.1, to
show you what I mean. To do this, you will carve out a new partition on the
iPhone and install version 1.1.1 on it. You’ll then upgrade the iPhone to
v1.1.4, which will leave the new partition intact. You can then dual-boot
the iPhone, allowing you to mount 1.1.4’s partition using the 1.1.1 partition.”

If you’re at all interested, Zdziarski posted a, what looks to be, very complicated 17 step process on how to do so on his website, found here.
