iPhone, iPod, iPad Recovery Mod tool RecBoot
As you may have already seen, RecBoot is a utility which allows the user, you, to kick the connected device(s) into and out of recovery mode.
Recovery Mode
Unfortunately RecBoot for OS X does not support 10.4.x machines nor does it support PowerPC machines. This is due to the fact that I have neither to test with, however, the source code is readily available to those that do want to create a RecBoot for 10.4.x or PowerPC. All I ask in return is that you contact me via email in regards to what you’re going to develop and how this will help. I will also be able to assist in hosting the newly created version of RecBoot.
“This handy little utility plays an important role in finishing off the downgrade.”
- LifeHacker
“In a few seconds, RecBoot would help you out of plug-me-into-iTunes recovery mode and you’ll boot right into your freshly downgraded 3.1.3.”
- FindTut
“The tool is dead simple, and everybody can use it. It has two buttons ‘Enter Recovery Mode’ and ‘Exit Recovery Mode’ , and you don’t have to be a genius to know which one to click.”
- FunkySpaceMonkey
The newest version of RecBoot for OS X can be found here: RecBoot Intel (82957)
Updated.
The above version of RecBoot is 1.0.2. It is a little bit different to past versions and I would appreciate it if you read the README.txt before commenting.
Windows Users
The long awaited update is here: RecBoot no longer requires libusb! The next update to RecBoot would make it interact with MobileDevice.h, and I’ve been chatting with iH8sn0w on IRC on getting this done.
So, here’s the deal: I’ve been getting TONS of emails from people saying that RecBoot wasn’t working for them because of libusb. This update makes RecBoot use iTunnel instead of iRecovery, which is based around MobileDevice.h, which means no libusb!
If you wish to enter Recovery Mode, however, you will need to place iTunesMobileDevice.dll in the RecBoot folder. I cannot provide this due to legal reasons. I could have made RecBoot point to the DLL from the registry, but I’m not going to, it’s just a quick open source thing I created for the community that isn’t a big deal, feel free to do whatever you want with it, use the batch files and everything else in the folder. The source code can be downloaded here. RecBoot is in your hands now.

Linux Users
No, we didn’t forget you either! Thanks to the magic of @malontop we can now offer you a version of RecBoot for Linux! If you have any questions, feel free to contact him via Twitter. You can download the Linux version from here: RecBoot for Linux (1129)
10.4.x and PowerPC Users
If you’re having difficulties with RecBoot on a 10.4.x Mac and/or a PowerPC Mac, it won’t be fixed. It just won’t be supported at all. So, a detailed “How-To” is available here for you. Hopefully this stops ALL emails wanting a 10.4.x and PowerPC version.
