Like I just wasted 45 minutes looking into a "magic" iDCSD "serial" debug cable for Type C iDevices, only to conclude after finding clear photos that it's a standard USB3 Type C cable. With an FTDI on the USB2 pins driving 3 LEDs. And the UART pins disconnected.

None of this is explained in theiphonewiki article for it, which claims this cable actually serves a purpose. AFAICT it's literally just a passive USB cable plus blinkenlights so that factory workers can see it light up green when tests pass.

And yet if you Google this thing clearly dozens of people are buying these and excited and think they... do something?! I don't even. Like literally if you look at the wires, the cable coming from the type C end bypasses the FTDI PCB entirely.

Anything Apple related, either from Apple itself or third party developers, is almost a secret, it's really too secretive.

Geez, YES. I guess it would help other people "compete" for jailbreaks.

5 to 10nyears later and root or unlock tools disappear, posts outdated and warnings gone or recovery images. So sad, why can't we just have good working wiki, file hosting and proper reverse engineering like you point out. Blinky led cable, wow hehe.
