I think this thread is very interesting and I'm pleased to know if the skankphone.app would run on OS 3.1.3.

Well in the name of open source, here is the firmware and NOR dump: http://rapidshare.com/files/207764160/iphoneproto.zip

Get it while you can, I have no idea how many downloads I get with this rapidshare thing, I have never used it before.

Also, I wanted to give major props to planetbeing for making this possible.

Rapidshare closed down years ago, does anyone else still have that file? If so can you upload it to google drive or Dropbox and send me the link

Hi guys, I have the oportunity to buy a prototype having the Skankphone app installed. The thing is that the woner doesn't want to give me the first 5 numbers of the serial to check wether it is legit or not. The screenshots show the Skankphone app, but what makes me suspecious is that it is running in parallel the stock iOS (looking at the calculator app icon it doesn't even seem to be PhoneOS 1.xx, but Phone OS 2.x.x.). Do you think it is a legit prototype?
He is also selling a 6s prototype with red port, but in the picture the red port looks more like a sticker. Wasn't the red marking on the iPhone 6 prototype painted?

Question is: is it possible to install Skankphone OS on a "normal" iphone 2G?

Thanks

The iPhone 2G is not real prototype.
 
Hi Everyone,

I’ve been spending my three day weekend exploring the history of iPhone quite a bit. Recently I scored an iPhone 4 with iOS 6 at work that was heading to ewaste. I also picked up a iPhone 2G off Ebay in fair condition, which I plan to hold onto as a critical piece of history. I vividly remember remember the launch at Macworld in January 2007, watching all the ads leading up to it in June 2007. So, its something I look forward to owning; especially with the 20th anniversary not too far away in 2027.

There is something I am curious about though and its a reality I believe is endemic to early projects at these big tech companies. I have asked folks who worked on Windows NT at Microsoft for instance at one point did it start self hosting. I’ve asked Craig at Apple did Intel builds of OS X that were compiled as a backup plan. Did they also have the userland features likes like Aqua/Finder?

Now, my question about iPhone OS 1.0, at one point in development did it become the familiar springboard that Steve Jobs demoed at the keynote? I have heard stories that was just a Macromedia Director import; I’ve heard its real code Steve was playing with that could crash. But if its real code, I am sure that wasn’t created in just a month.

Obviously because of the secrecy surrounding the development, not to mention the paranoia and security, we might never know. There are no builds of iPhone OS prior to Alpine or between January and June 2007 in the open. Also, I am confused, is SkankOS builds iPhone OS in disguise?
