- Ten years ago, David Wang pulled off a remarkable trick, installing Android on the first generation iPhone. Now Wang and his colleagues at cybersecurity startup Corellium are doing it again with the ostentatiously titled Project Sandcastle. And Forbes got an exclusive hands-on look at their Android for iPhone product ahead of its public release. The timing is sure to have Apple fanboys rubbernecking: Corellium is in the middle of being sued by Apple.

When an iPhone 7 got Android 10 before your Samsung Galaxy S9 did smh
I had it instantly just flashed the phone..lol
It's already out I got my note 9 updated
S9 already has android 10
My S9 has Android 10 months ago, your phone is acting up
I installed a custom rom the day I got S9.
I remember the days of phone hacking.
I would side load Android onto my HTC Windows phone.
Those were the wild West days, and I miss them.
RIP 2009
Nowadays you can run things like postmarketOS and Ubuntu touch on many Android phones.
@@haisulii very little chance of perma bricks as well.
The years of battling locked bootloaders was a fun era as well.
Nowadays they want you to tweak the phone... But no extra storage cards!!
The crazy days of Android where people risked bricking their phones for the better good
@@TechLidBull I always broke into a sweat each time.
I'll never forget the rush when it when from HTC HD2 Windows to Delicious Android.
I couldn't get over the amazing hardware so I changed the software.
@@REPORTEVERYLIBERALCOMMENT you seem like a real tech person. Check out my channel for my perspective in the tech world!!
Use iOS Launcher on an iPhone running Android

This is funny
I been waiting years for something like this to come back. I remember years ago with the iDroid project when people was getting Android on their iPhone 3GS's
Kudos for the use of Signal. And for the jailbreak. Consumers should own the right to modify the hardware they paid for, as well as to use any OS that fits on it. 👍
I would say the same for Android. I would really like access to the root account on all my androids. And rooting a phone should not void your warranty. We have access to root on linux, why can't we have access to root on Android phones for advanced people.
Yes. It is absolutely ridiculous how Google and their OEM or Apple remain the de-facto owners of the device. THEY have control of the root account and all the private keys while we are severely limited in what we can do.
It shouldn't be easy to perform. The average person should DEFINITELY not do it. But there is no reason that isn't corperate greed to keep the customer from controlling the device they paid over a thousand dollars for.
iPhones suck anyways
Not all users know how root works. They might end up bricking their devices after deleting /system/ in a root file manager.
doing 'passwd root' doesn't void your warrenty on a pc, why should it on a phone... its dumb how phone manufacturers do this
"For now, this wont work for the latest iphone"
"I will work on models from iPhone 5s to iPhone X"
Me : *Cries on iPhone 5*
😝
😂
Dang bro upgrade lol I got the 7 but still
*cr-laughs in android*
It will work on iPhone 5 as soon as a 32-bit Version gets released
now I AM INTERESTED in buying an iPhone if a Stable Android port will come out
So would I.
This makes no sense.. No official support. You won't be getting max performance out of your device. IOS will be faster in every single scenario.
@@Jaguarek62 Yeah, but you would be able to access most if not all the goodness of android: Play Store, android apps, side loading apps, customisation, and some more.
@@blowyourmindscientist6497 are there really any apps that support android but does not support iphone?
@@Jaguarek62 Google camera, Magisk, Extended NFC support for RFID cards and NXP tags, need more?

Really jailbreak has been around since 2007
Eminem with the Forbes review lolol
Ugly God is that you??
wow, now this is a certified POG moment.
what i would really want is iOS running on an android device like a samsung. I like features like imessage but i'm bored with the hardware design of the current iphones.
Mein Land yeah. Android on iPhone is not interesting. iOS on Android on the other hand, is more exciting. I don’t like Android, but Android hardwares are usually better than iPhone, and cheaper too.
@Li Yong Chen The Apple A13 Bionic chip is one of the most powerful smartphone chips... It even beats the new Galaxy S20 Ultra...

End of discussion
My dream of finally installing gCam on an iPhone draws near
Tu Maldita Madre Yeah me too idk if it will be stable anytime soon though. And even if it will, I doubt GCam will EVER work with the A10 chip.
The camera doesn't work at all. Actually there are many many things that don't work.
DjDanny44 yeah but as he said, if we manage to make GCam work on iPhone 7 it will literally be crazy..
Gcam on iphone hahaha
Finally a reason to get that useless piece of overpriced brick
just get a samsung or any android device
Cooking Enthusiast right who would ever get an Android the lag is just too much for me honestly
Your Mom you obviously are a person that still thinks all androids are awful and have bad camera quality.
@@Angel-xj3wf It depends on the smartphone. I have an S20 Ultra 5G and it's not laggy at all, especially with the 120Hz refresh and One UI 2.0.
@@Angel-xj3wf ahahaha thats why iPhone doesnt have android installed because its a underpowered and overpriced garbage
Nobody :
Apple : *wants* *to* *know* *your* *location* *!*
You were quick to make this vid, damn. Also you should clarify that this relies on a bootrom exploit, which is what checkra1n is based on, which is why it is only and will ever only be supported on the 5s - X. Merely saying it’s done via a ‘jailbreak’ is inaccurate as there are jailbreaks for the newest A12/A13 Apple devices
Totally agree, but saying it will NEVER happen is a bit of a stretch. It IS very unlikely to happen, but who knows what the future brings...
Yeah but the A12 and A13 cant use CheckRa1n
TH-cam Kullanıcısı you think they will add support for A12 - A13, and no they won’t.
gabriel hernandez I’m not saying Checkra1n will support A12-A13 someday, I’m saying we maybe will get Android to work on A12-A13 devices as well. Maybe...
@@utubekullanicisi One world government smartphone.
But why would you wanna run android on such a low quality device? 🤔
That's my question too!
So the device quality increase a little
Because of the end of support by Apple. No more iOS updates soon
@@mroscar7474 are you gonna ignore the fact that apple intentionally slows down their phones to make consumers buy their new shitty products? Apple is made for iSheep consumers like you, ignorant people who only care more about the brand name and less about actual facts. Here I am typing on my S9+ which has never slowed down ONCE in its entire lifetime. Oh not to mention those new galaxy phones that have 2x more ram than the latest macbooks 🤣
"work perfectly" on features that android phones already had 4 years ago
etc. apple OLED screens
using the 12mp cameras dating back to the iphone 6s
@@mroscar7474 plus more iOS closing apps in the background when you run more than 4 apps 💀💀💀 my S9+ can run 8 apps at the same time with no lag and resume apps back where it left off, not restarting the app like iCrap phones do
will be very interesting to see what would be to the performance of Android OS on an iPhone hardware with camera and calls working
Probably not good. iPhone specs aren't all that to begin with and Android requires more RAM than iOS does.
Tu Maldita Madre Agree with the RAM, but iPhones have more powerful processors so that might help with some stuff
Sam Holloway their processors aren’t that good it just ios is more optimized cz it’s all controlled by Apple
Viiziion Gaming No it’s not exactly that, that’s a myth and you can search it up and that’s coming from an iPhone user.. but yeah the performance will safer because A) it will always be unstable because creating drivers is way too difficult to perfect, especially with such a small team. B) Android and it’s apps are simply unoptimized to run on A10 chips so just from that you will see HUGE performance loss. In a perfect world it would take a big team YEARS to create fully capable drivers to iron out every single bug and EACH AND EVERY APP multiple updates and changes to their coding to make it capable of running on apples chips.
@@anargpap1435 that's what we called optimisation
It Should Be The Other Way Around
Finally , an iPhone fix
@ICT yet.
@ICT For now ,and I'd rather reinstall it every day than use IOS
@@IronRemote8030 I would suggest you to buy an Android device in that case.
@@IronRemote8030 Buy a Google Pixel 4!!!

I remember in 2009 someone successfully boot linux on an iphone and then 11 years later android which is basically running on linux
*cries in lost hope*
I'm confused. Some people say: Any iPhone with checkr1n jailbreak.
But. The website lists from iPhone 6 to 11 Pro. Does iPhone 5S have support??
The CheckRa1n jailbreak is for 5S - iPhone X but to get android, you need an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.
@@gabrielh90 I know that, but in the future. When all devices are supported, does iPhone 5S also gonna get support?
CollX BSP more devices will get support, I can’t tell you which ones and I don’t know but yes they will
woah, i’ve waited so manyyyy years for something like this and it’s cool to see it
How would you take it off
Cokecola, in a Pepsi cup what a cliche
Is there a way to revert these changes?.
What do you have to do to delete the hack and turn back to iOS system??
Miss those rooting days especially on Android. Nowadays everything is just so commercialized.
You just Wasting precious time, clever people have better things to do.
Just did the install on my 7, cant wait until GPU and camera support comes though
Came from the twitter post
give me the link
MonsterDude came from the reddit post
As an Apple user and ex-fanboy, this project kind of highlights why you should not buy apple. No device is open or free to its users these days but Apple's are openly hostile. Given that apple is going backward in terms of design/ux/improvements now while the innovation lies with other companies, and is locking its devices down more and more, its' time to get out. It's good that projects like this exist, but it's sad that they need to. I, and everyone else, should be free to explore tech like I did as a child. I should not feel like a criminal just for wanting to experiment and understand the technology around me.
I remember running android on my 3GS, man that was amazing(ly slow)
I want to see before and after benchmark scores.
Everytime an iPhone model comes out, it's on the bleeding edge of high benchmark results only for Qualcomm to catchup a few months later. I want to know if Apple's A chips really are that powerful, or if they've consistently had advange over Android thanks to having a less intensive multi-tasking OS.
I want to know the performance of iOS and Android differences based on the same SoC
Ugh is anyone annoyed by the editing style?
Yeah it's very annoying
Shows that it actually takes sense and creativity to make good video content :/
scary HACKS guys! look at all these lines of code everywhere and glitchy screen effects! look out guys! we are doing some super leet hacks here!
I used to dual boot nokia N900 android & maemo os 🙄 back in 2011
Is there a way to undo this?
Can u change it back
Does it work on iPhone 4?
what can for Iphone lock icloud?
That's so cool and strange to see at the same time! I think it's better to wait until this gets more stable if you want to try it out though. Speaking from experience flashing phones and tablets not originally running Android 😂
I can dual boot OS like the old days?
What Android version is that because it looks laggy asf is it an Android 7.0> ?
10
Its laggy cause iPhones have low-end specs
Its because not optizmed

Hello my old friend. It’s been a while
Apple will make sure you'll vomit on your sweater with mom's spaghetti.
Sides all those things about iphone can run an android system,
THIS MAN LOOKS LIKE EMINEM😂
The iPhone running Android goes back to all the other iPhones and says I've been to the future and it was like nothing we've ever seen.....for about 2 years at least lol....
Apple won't be mad about this, but if someone gets ios to run on android phones they will be pissed.
Rakesh R exactly
When did eminem become a tech tuber?
But why?
Apple fan boys: but why!! Why would you do that? why would you do any of that?
Might be okay but have to fix lots of bugs for better performance 👩💻
Just what I wanted the accessibility of Android and premium feel of Apple .
What about One UI
But whats the point? Isn’t android cheaper anyways? Why take part from an expensive phone that makes it expensive? (I have no idea though, just a curious question)
Twilight Spakle Thank you sir
I want to see them push it even further into insanity. Like run BlackBerry 10 on an iPhone which had a native Android 4.4 runtime for app support then run a launcher on that to install a skin of iOS lol
Also, You should install Windows on you MacBook ;)
Naaah that's lame and easy, I installed macOS on my regular PC instead ;) Works awesome with my iPhone, makes it easy to install checkra1n, and I have a nice "Apple power user" setup
C14Hz Please, do not make assumptions if you have no idea
can we dual boot?
Unfortunately no this hack relies on a bootrom exploit that gets reset every time you reboot the device you’ll need to hook it to a PC to boot again so dual boot is not possible
@@Neo-qj2zb That's still a dual boot
@@circuit10 lol, true!
Short answer: Yes.
Heath Mitchell Technically it’s a dual boot yeah but it’s not practical and all the files get deleted when you reboot and you start again from scratch
But ... why ?

But why
if you know what your doing jailbreaking isnt open to hacks people may even argue that its safer its only if you dont know what your doing and you dont know the effects of your iphone it may be a problem

Haroldo Duarte No.
Why don’t you just put an Android mainboard in an iPhone cover

Is that Eminem?
Dont both iOS and Android run on linux base ?
No ios doesnt
IOS runs on apple's software started by scratch
The opposite will kill the IPhones at performance
LIFE LIKE how?
I don't think so, because iOS apps are built to work on Apple hardware, it may be impossible to run on Android phones.
The A series chip is optimised for iPhones and iPhones only, so no. Optimising for a phone takes quite a bit of time.
@@DownLowdFlowd iPhone HW is so far behind if you see the specsheet, like the Core and the RAM especially.
I just thinking, why no body want so this to Android phone ? We have three OS on smartphone there are iOS, Android and windows phone. Why don't we install it each other. I know Windows phone was death. But it can be fun too, because performance windows phone on low spec really great. Yeah, I really hope we can install all of them like on our PC
No
Shreyas Bhatt because those are harder to be developed and no has developed it.
Its actually super easy!
Right now it doesn't have cellular, bluetooth, camera, or play store (or installing any apk files in general) support... I see this as a hands-on preview for the future, but as of right now this doesn't help me get any of the Android features I'm looking for. Luckily this is just a beta, and the fact that the phone I have right now (iP7) is already this close to having a fully functional Android OS running as a dualboot is absolutely amazing! Can't wait to be free from Apple's walled garden once and for all
Looks like that now it also have BT, they patched the broadcom driver, and fixed flow control driver for uart!
