New Windows Version of iPhoDroid Installs Android on Your iPhone With One Click

Sergio Mcfly has announced the release of a Windows version of iPhoDroid which can install Android on your iPhone 3G with one click.

"YES! It's today. Gotta tell you Im so thankful for everyone to be so patient and understandable for this Release. The delay was necessary because I made everything for do not mess up your computer and despite Microsoft Windows7 64bit is very tough to accept an un-certificated DLL, I found a very good safe way to run the App without installation and no hassles. All on-the-fly and in one single click, 1SHOT Yeah!! and now it runs on fine over XP and Vista (i386 and x64). I hope all of you help me to keep this Project alive; I never ever thought that this could be this BIG as it is. Thanks everyone and God bless!"

We will post instructions on how to do this shortly.

A few weeks ago, we showed you how to use iPhodroid to install Android OS on your iPhone 2G/3G. The developer released a few more versions of the app since , and today we can install Android OS 2.2 Froyo on the iPhone 3G.


Requirements:

• jailbroken iPhone 3G running iOS 4
• openSSH installed
• iPhodroid 0.6 R12 ( or updates )

NOTE: works ONLY with iPhone 3G
NOTE: before you begin the installation , go to Settings>General>Auto Lock and set it to “Never”
NOTE: many people, experience an error when trying to boot into Froyo. If you check the verbose boot screen, you will see the following line over and over ‘cannot set as speaker mixer LDSPK set’ . If that’s the case, wait for iPhodroid to be updated…
How to install Froyo:
1. Download iPhodroid and extract. Double click on the icon to load the app
2. You will be warned that this version of iPhodroid won’t backup your iPhone’s NOR. If you want your NOR backed up, you can run a prior version and back it up.

4. You will be asked to type-in your Mac’s password








5. You will be asked to enter your iPhone’s IP address





6. You will be asked to type-in your SSH password. Default password is ‘alpine’, if you changed it, type-in your new password








7. Now, iPhodroid will connect to your iPhone via SSH. Wait for a few seconds








8. Now , iPhodroid will open up a terminal shell, and will copy everything on your iPhone. This process has 8 steps, so all you need to do is wait
9. Once the app is done, it will ask you to put your iPhone in recovery mode. To do that, follow the image below.








10. Once in recovery mode, click on “Load Install”. Now iPhodroid will quit, and it will close the terminal shell as well. From now on , we will work only on the iPhone
