Only the app knows what has been patched, but it can patch and change anything it likes. It all depends on the app and who wrought the patches. It is the same, patched ios is patched ios = cios, running or on nand. Probably very soon we will have AHBPROT patch ios running usbloader and what not, but it is still the same, just another way.tueidj said:They're not the same thing at all.
Patching a running IOS that was clean = you know what has been modified.
Running on an IOS that has already been patched = who knows what has been modified.
