Boot iPhone or iPod Touch in verbose mode

To boot your iPhone or iPod touch always in verbose mode, which is actually very useless, but looks cool, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure BSD Subsystem is installed
  2. Make sure Term-vt100 is installed, or you are able to set up a ssh session via your mac or pc
  3. Open up the terminal on your portable or computer and type the folowing command:
    nvram boot-args="-v"
  4. and enter:
    reboot
  5. Done.
  6. To go back to the normal boot logo:
    nvram boot-args=

Thanks for the guide. I'll try booting into verbose in a little bit :)

And to see current, do:
nvram -p

You can also go into Safe Mode via Safe Boot by adding:

nvram boot-args="-v -x"

After clean up, put back to verbose:
nvram boot-args="-v"
