(2 estimates)

Most of users of mobile devices running under, would like to try to change the version of the OS. For example, frequent is the question "How to install iOS on android?" To find out what attracts the operating system from Apple's numerous fans.

Is it possible to install iOS firmware on android?

It's important to know

Apple's full-fired operating operational system will not work. This is due to the fact that each manufacturer installs software on its device, which is optimized for operation directly with a specific apparatus.

Full porting is impossible, is the division of the market when the manufacturers of devices conquer their relax of potential users through the operating system functionality. It is the company's policies that leads to the fact that the IOS is so closed by the system, limits the possible actions of the user.

But no one says that it is impossible to try the OS from Apple on the device running android. There are several techniques as possible on Android deliver iOS to get at least an external idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the popular shell looks like.

Preparatory activities before installing

Previously before installing or making changes to the current operating system, a number of preparatory activities are required:

note

Compliance with the correctness of actions will allow you to successfully carry out the installation procedure of another operating system. Otherwise, it is probability that the device is simply turned into a "brick" without the possibility of its further resuscitation.

Possible ways how to flash android on iOS

There are several techniques how you can change the operating system on your own smartphone and make it similar to the iPhone.

Downloading Top

The easiest way to flash android as an iPhone is installing special applications that change the themes of decoration. To do this, you need to download the corresponding program from the Google Play Market store, start it and select the design style "under iOS".

Use of emulators

The emulator is a special program that allows you to recreate the operation of another operating system or form a secure environment (sandbox) to start a third-party application. It is exactly a similar way to debug cross-platform programs.

It will be useful

The most famous and popular emulator is Cycada from the Cider project. The essence of the method is to change the iOS application code so that the smartphone perceives it as based on the XNU Kernel (Android architecture).

In this case, the virtual machine is launched in this case, and the user has the ability to start real-time. The minus is a slight attachment of application operation. So far, the project is at the beta testing stage, therefore instability can be observed.

Installation of modified firmware

This method will allow you to close the Android phone to the iPhone. It consists in installing a modified firmware, which will be required on a specialized site or forum. The action scheme will be as follows:

• Download firmware file.
• Saving it in a zip-archive format to a memory card that must first be fully cleaned from other programs.
• Cleaning the device from viruses and reset it to the factory state.
• Creating a backup of the operating system.
• Next, you need to connect the smartphone to the PC and select the USB debug mode.



• Copy all OS files on the memory card and further creation of a copy on a computer hard drive.
• Disable the smartphone and insert a memory card into it with a modified firmware.
• Conduct Factory Reset on the device.

Probably, many users have always dreamed of putting iOS on android and evaluate it in action, enjoy the beauty and outlines of the apple operating system. Or noticed that not all App Store applications are available on Google Play. Of course, there are a large number of analogues of such programs, but still I want to try exactly from the Epplovsk store. True, there is a "apple" device quite expensive. That is why the question arises: is there a way to apple's operating system on Android? It will not be possible to fully port OS "Apple", but thanks to the so-called emulators, the unique opportunity to put iOS on android still exists.

What is the emulator?

Before proceeding with the installation process itself, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the initial terms. So, the emulator is a computer program that allows you to recreate (emulate) the operation of another operating system or environment for the possibility of running on the existing device. For example, there are Android emulators for personal computers that allow PC users to run games and applications from Google Play. Now this opportunity has become available to the users of Android gadgets, who wish to establish iOS on them. Let's look at all existing ways to start or emulating iOS on Android devices.

1 way. CIDER project (CYCADA)

The Cider project was presented at the Computer Science Research Conference at Columbia University. It allows IOS programs to adapt to the kernel and the programming library android. It uses binary compatibility methods for opening not only their own, but also "alien" software on one gadget. That is, it appears the ability to run iOS applications on Android.

Cider carries out the right to produce a focus with the iOS program code, giving the ability to perceive it as an XNU Kernel based. In this case, an emulator or virtual machine is applied - the code changes in real time, allowing the application to manipulate the core and Android libraries. Platforms are erected based on ARM. For their unity, an Android program called CYCADAPRESS, receiving information about various kinds of actions (text input, alerts from applications, etc.) and transfers them to iOS. She convinces the system that the CYCADAPRESS program window is the Apple Device Display. This allows and implement other actions with the screen.

The video shows that many iOS applications on android are launched, including the iOS version of the Yelp program, IBooks. However, as the creators noted, the speed and smoothness of the work leaves much to be desired. But this should be expected, because Cycada is at the testing and development stages. It is not known whether the project will be completely. Perhaps after some time the final version will appear for the large market, which will produce a real extension.

It is not clear whether the project will be interesting now, as most of the games and applications are available for all existing platforms. There are, of course, single cases, but mostly these are unique programs like Garage Band, Pages, iMovie. If there is a desire to use them, why buy an Android device? That is why there is a distinction on operating systems, since each manufacturer tries to offer the user a new unique service.

2 way. Installation of firmware

This method is more suitable for extremals and enthusiasts, since it implies a complete removal of the Android operating system and the installation on a special firmware device. Such manipulations can lead to sad consequences. In case of failure it will be necessary. If it did not help, hurry to the service center. And with the most unfavorable outcome, you risk getting "brick" - completely non-working machine, without the possibility of inclusion and further operation. If you still decided to change the firmware, follow the instructions below.

If you use iOS for a long time, you probably know that after updating the system in the air, unpleasant bugs and shoals will often get out. In this material - how to properly prepare for updating and clean your gadget from accumulated during the use of garbage.

Following Apple's recommendations and personal experience, I strongly recommend making a backup copy of the data on the smartphone, because problems always appear at the most inopportune moment. Bacup will take not so much time and allow you to avoid losing important information. So before the "stripping" necessarily go to Settings → icloud. → Backup And create a copy of your data.

The same procedure can be accomplished through iTunes. - Open the application, click on the device icon in the upper left corner and you will see the backup window.

After copying all the data, the most responsible moment occurs - installing the firmware. This can be done in two ways. The first is in fully automatic mode, you only need to click on Restore iPhone in iTunes. In this case, the program will start downloading the last release firmware and independently install it on the smartphone. All data will naturally disappear. You can restore them in the backup window, which is slightly lower.

After downloading the firmware, run iTunes, click on the device icon in the upper left corner and in the window that opens, click on Restore iPhone with pinch key oPTION (ALT)on Mac or Shift.on PC. The combination will open the conductor window in which you need to find the image of the firmware loaded earlier and click Open.

Be sure to disable the function before the procedure Find My iPhone.Otherwise, iTunes will not allow the installation and gives the appropriate warning.

Next, the program will do all dirty work for you - just wait for the installation and attach the device for further use. This method is also suitable if you forgot the screen lock password or want to sell your iPhone - the activation lock is removed before installation, so that the new user does not have to enter your data to use the device.

iOS 11 do not like? Why was it updated then? ... Although, this release is really specific. Not everyone will immediately go. Each year, Apple presents new version of iOS with supposedly modified functions and improved optimization, but in fact the last couple of years we are "rubbed some kind of game", full bugs and flaws.

In turn, we turn out to be on the site of "experimental rabbits" that should identify weak points and specify Apple to them for further correction. What was just worth the recent output of nightmarish iOS 9, when users all over the world began to complain that they were.

If you suddenly decided that you can now install any old firmware, I will have to upset you. See what is the situation. In the process of installing any version of iOS, your device adds to the Apple server for a digital signature.

If the server sees the IOS version on your device, which is no longer supported, it does not sign it and the installation will end with an error. If you do not understand, I will explain on the example: if you just installed iOS 9.0, now you can return only to 8.4.1 and that is not a fact. With the release of new versions of IOS Apple ceases to sign older versions.

Maximum "You can take one step back." At the time of writing this article, the only actual firmware for all devices starting with the iPhone 4S is 9.0.2.

How to find out which version of iOS are relevant today? Very simple! We go to ipsw.me and click on the model of your device.

How to roll back to the previous version of iOS

Step-by-step instruction looks like this:

Step 1 - download the firmware file with the extension .IPSW. By reference above:

Step 2 - Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes

Apple computers are weighty competitors for all other platforms. But unlike the PC running the Windows operating system, these devices cost several times more expensive. Because of this, few users can. However, any, with proper desire and the availability of detailed instructions, to its personal computer and use the original OS from the "apple" company. Next, you are waiting for a step-by-step guide on how to install Mac OS on PC, which pitfalls can meet on the installation path and what additional software will need for this.

Khakintosh or Customac

A few years ago, WINDOVS operating system users and could not afford the installation of Mac OS. To date, each user can not only be tested, but also to fully use the OS from the EPL on its device. Such PCs are called Hakintosh. You install Apple software to a computer from another manufacturer. Many, of course, will excite the legal aspect in this situation. Install Mac OS on a computer - how legally it is? Apple is constantly suited to the creators of such custom computers, but does not take any serious measures against them.

Next, the article will be discussed precisely about the complete installation. That is, you can use the cherished OS on PC without using windows. Also on our site you can find the Mac OS Installation Instructions using a virtual machine. Let's start preparing with hardware requirements for a hackintosh, without complying with you will not be able to install Mac OS on a laptop or personal computer.

System requirements

The main rule when selecting a configuration: the more your system is similar to the configuration of the original MacBook or IMAC, the less problems you receive when and after installation. This rule is absolutely true, as OS differences lie in support of different interfaces and so on. We will understand which configuration is suitable to install Mac OS X on the PC:

1. 2-core processor (minimum) from Intel;
2. separate internal AHCI support drive;
3. minimum 2GB of RAM.

To eliminate various suspicions and concerns that the installation of this operating system on the usual PC will lead to any faults of iron and so on, it is worth saying that the procedure is quite harmless and simple. To put Mac OS Sierra on Windows PC or laptop, you will need the following components:

1. personal computer itself suitable according to the characteristics;
2. distribution of the operating system MAC OS;
3. boot flash drive;
4. unibeast program.

Since the description of a suitable personal computer is presented above, you must proceed to the distribution of the operating system to install on the PC.

Where to take a poppy OS?

You have two options for obtaining a distribution to install the operating system:

1. downloading a hacked installer with the required assembly;
2. loading the official installer through the App Store.

The first option will have to take advantage of those who want to deliver this OS on the PC with the AMD processor. In this case, it is advisable to download a modified distribution (Snow Leopard) and install it.

All others can take advantage of the original installer. However, it is impossible to get free. You will need an Apple ID account with a purchased operating system, or McBook himself. You can ask the laptop for a while, if you do not have your own. To install Mac OS X on Windows PC, download the OS image according to the following instructions:

Now you need to create a bootable medium from which the clean OS installation will be made. The easiest and most accessible option is the usual USB flash drive.

Creating a loading flash drive

Before installing Mac OS X on a PC, we will create a bootable media:

Option if there is MacBook

• connect the USB flash drive to MacBook. Its volume should be at least 16GB;
• open the disk utility. To do this, go to the program folder and go to the utility section;
• next, go to the Erase tab;
• to install Mac OS on Windows 10, you will need to format the flash drive in OS X Extended format.

We now move on to work with the Bootdisk utility, which will be needed when working in Windows:

• Insert our USB flash drive to the computer and click Format Disk

• After the format is completed, the flash drive breaks into 2 sections

• Click Restore Partition

• Select the system image in format.hfs

• Click OK

• We are waiting for the end of creating a bootable media

The whole process will not take more than 10 minutes. After that, download the MultiBeast program on the USB flash drive, which is useful in the future to install OS X on a laptop or PC.

PC preparation

Now you need to make BIOS settings. Set the AHCI hard disk operation mode, and the BIOS mode is Optimized Defaults. After that restart the computer.
