Paying Omag to our forefathers back when this technique actually had the hardware to support the theory. Haven't needed to do this since the HTC Apache/Mogul days. The phones had extended ROM's that held the boot image, the device then copied them into "working" memory.

Nowadays, the phone memory is one. It's just 15-20 minutes of their lives...
