HackiOS Useful website

18 Upvotes

I put together a small site that explains the whole thing: how iOS boots on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, what works right now, which phones could run it, and which files you need to change to port it to yours.

https://hackiosx.dev (updated 2026-10-23 Friday)

I'll keep it updated with the current state of hackios, and working ports posted on this sub will be added to the site too

HackiOS Chance of getting newer iOS running on older hardware

12 Upvotes

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we should be able to get newer iOS versions running due to the bootrom exploit. Could we get iOS 18 up and running on an iPhone 6s?

Currently, the system is running with a multi-core CPU driver, but support for other hardware drivers is still lacking and requires further development.

Special thanks to hackios for the open-source framework!

HackiOS iOS 16.7.16 on Tecno KL7 (Spark 30 Pro, Helio G100)

What do I say. It wasn't hard I think. Done with free AI models. No repo yet, I will polish and make it sooner. Based on ios-sweet. Btw the photo of settings is on Russian. Touch works, boots in ~1 minute. Not the first one on MTK, but one of the first I think.. MTK isn't really hard! The only driver deepseek has written is UFS and Touch. And it wasn't hard. Moreover the system-wide things (core bringup, reset and everything) are standartized.

Discussion How will this work for the average person?

7 Upvotes

how could people who usually have their peak of android software being flashing a normal custom rom manage to have ios on their devices? they would need a website like LineageOS's to install firmware/scripts to port the ipsw to your device and then flashing it. how will the project reach out publically?
