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=

Alway boot Mac OS X in Verbose Mode

[ ] by Koos @ 23.11.2007 12:16 CEST
To boot Mac OS X in verbose mode, you could hit Command+V during startup, which brings up the familiar white on black console. If you'd prefer to always see the system messages on boot, you can adjust the firmware from the Terminal with the nvram command.

To turn on Verbose booting, at the Terminal type the following:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v"

Disabling Verbose mode:
sudo nvram boot-args=

And to see the current firmware nvram settings:
nvram -p
