Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for employing a hybrid boot to reimage a target device using a mobile device. A mobile device provides, to a target device, a boot file configured to execute an intermediate operating system. The mobile device performs a user presence check to determine whether the target device is in proximity to the mobile device. Responsive to determining that the target device is in proximity to the mobile device, the mobile device provides, to the intermediate operating system on the target device, transfer information associated with at least a first restricted-access portion of a customized system image to cause the intermediate operating system to obtain the first restricted-access portion of the customized system image and reimage the target device based at least on the first restricted-access portion of the customized system image.
