Regarding the CoolBooter article

Hi!

In this edit you changed «The secondary OS will kernel panic during boot» to «iOS 6 as a secondary OS will kernel panic during boot». IIRC, you told me on Reddit that you don’t have any iPhone 5 test devices, so I wonder: Is iOS 6 the only secondary OS to which you have confirmed that this happens, or is this something that was fixed in a recent update? I have installed various iOS 7.x and 8.x versions as secondary versions using CoolBooterCLI on my i5 running iOS 6, and they have all kernel panicked if the Lightning cable has been attached since I booted the host OS. I must stress that the last time I installed anything was back in October, so later updates could of course have fixed this issue for newer target versions.

I have no clue how proper responses work with this, so sorry for probably not doing this the correct way. I don't currently have an iPhone 5 test device as I am currently loaning mine to a friend. When I did still have it, I confirmed that, at least as of iOS 9.0.2 as a main OS, only iOS 6 will panic upon booting if lightning was attached prior without rebooting. There were some issues with kernel patches in some older versions that caused a panic on boot for some devices (I refactored the patchfinder quite a few times over the updates), however those should now be fixed. I will ask some friends with a 5 to double check this though.
