Today I’m up with an interesting news, that I have been looking for. The iPhone OS 4 on iPhone 2G. I’ve been asking a lot of iPhone hackers on Twitter and Facebook about porting iPhone OS 4.0 on iPhone 2G. And the answer I got so far was “Nope.”. But then, today I came across this post that shows adequate proof of iPhone OS 4 running on iPhone 2G. A group of hackers had confirmed this. and here is what they have to say for this world right now:
“We are rewriting the 4.0 beta firmware released by Apple to create a custom firmware that can run on devices iphone 2g which is no longer available. To do this we studied the architecture of the firmware previously released by Apple on the device trying to understand how is it different from the released versions on other devices, in particular that of the iPhone 3G device, which is what most resembles the smartphones.”
Thanks to 20 QBE for updating this info. I will be updating about the status of the development live. Follow me on twitter: Karthik.K
