A '''Stub IOS''' is an [[IOS]] that serves no purpose other than a placeholder. They are released to overwrite other IOSes, either to overwrite a [[cIOS]] in a specific slot and break homebrew, or to remove an unused IOS, freeing up space and removing the need to maintain the unused branch as new exploits are found.

Stub IOSes generally have 3 contents: a 0x40 byte build tag, and two shared contents, which depend on the variant. The first shared content generally contains [[ES]], while the second contains FFSP and the kernel (including [[IOSP]]); the second content has many loadable segments, so it is possible that there are other modules without $IOSVersion tags.
