recently covered the topic and shared the most easiest way to install Android on an iPhone 2G/3G via iPhoDroid. But the problem with it is; you need to have a computer to run the whole process of installing Android on your iPhone 2G/3G. But thanks to Bootlace 2.1, you can now install Android 2.2.1 Froyo on your jailbroken iPhone without needing to connect it to any PC or Mac!

Bootlace 2.1 is only compatible with the following iPhones and iOS’:

iPhone 2G running iOS 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
iPhone 3G running iOS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and 4.1.

Jailbreaking tools which are supported by Bootlace 2.1:

PwnageTool
Redsn0w
Blackra1n

You can follow our guide for jailbreaking your iDevice using Redsn0w here, Blackra1n here and PwnageTool here. iPhone 2G users can similarly follow the steps to jailbreak using Redsn0w here, Blackra1n here and PwnageTool here.

If you don’t meet the above requirements then you can’t go ahead with the installation of Android on your iPhone 2G/3G. If you do, then follow the steps listed below:

How To Install Android 2.2.1 Froyo On iPhone 3G / 2G:

Step 1:

Jailbreak your iPhone 2G/3G using the steps given in the links above. When you’re done, run Cydia from your iPhone’s springboard, and add “https://repo.neonkoala.co.uk/” (without quotes) as repository. Tap “Add Source”, and then you need to install “Bootlace” as shown in the screenshots below.

Step 2:

Once you have installed Bootlace, launch the app from the homescreen:.

Step 3:

From “Bootlace”, you need to install “OpeniBoot”.

Step 4:

Once “OpeniBoot” has been installed, tap on the “iDroid” tab in the bottom row to install iDroid.

Step 5:

Once iDroid has been installed on your iPhone, tap the “QuickBoot” tab in the bottom row, followed by tapping on the Android logo, your iPhone will now restart and boot into Android. That’s it, you’re done! You now have Android 2.2.1 Froyo on your iPhone.

Note:

Please refer to Step 4 again if you want to check for Android updates in future. And it’s highly recommended that you perform the installation over a WiFi connection.
