Restore Mode

iPhone during iTunes restore.

This is the mode the Apple ramdisk enters to restore the iPhone.

Exploits

The original jailbreaks were done by booting the phone into restore mode and copying an /etc/fstab and afcd plist from the user partition. This was done by using the cp iBoot command, a command which had access to the whole filesystem.
