DFU 2.0 (0x1227)
It can upload a file, such as an iBSS, so that you can unplug and spawn a shell with 0x1281.

File Uploading
You can upload a file to 0x9000000 with the following syntax: ./iRecovery -f file In newer builds that use libusb-1.0 this is now ./iRecovery -u file

Two-Way Shell
You can spawn a shell to do all sorts of neat things with the syntax: ./iRecovery -s Once it has spawned, you can type 'help' and iBoot will respond with its built-in command list.

Single Command
./iRecovery -c "command" Sends a single command to the device *without* spawning a shell.

usb_control_msg(0x21, 2) Exploit Command
./iRecovery -k Sends Chronic Dev's + Geohot's latest usb exploit. Implemented into blackra1n. This was updated near October 17, 2009. posixninja's fork In newer builds this is now -e

Auto Boot
You can now enable auto-boot by running: ./iRecovery -a or by sending /auto-boot in a shell.

In newer builds it is now: ./iRecovery -n

USB Reset
Reset USB ./iRecovery -r

Batch Scripting
iRecovery now supports batch scripting, this allows you to send commands to iBoot from a pre written list of commands, this also supports scripting such as /auto-boot and /upload ./iRecovery -b or in a shell: /batch

Raw Commands
You can now send raw commands via the -x21 -x40 or -xA1 flags
