INSTALLATION
================================================================================
For:
Apple iPhone/iPod Touch 1.0/1.1/1.1.1/1.2/1.3/2.0+
+ iPod USB cable
You must have:
libgnutls-dev
libusb-dev
libfuse-dev (and the associated kernel modules)
libglib2.0-dev
libxml2-dev
make
autoheader
automake
autoconf
gcc
To compile run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install # (if you want to install it into your system directories)
libiphone-initconf # (as the user you intend to user the library)
On Ubuntu/Debian, you can do:
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf \
libgnutls-dev libusb-dev libfuse-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev \
libreadline5-dev
USAGE
================================================================================
Now comes the fun bit!
== Generating keys ==
IMPORTANT: Before using the library you must run "libiphone-initconf"
as your own user (not root). It will generate keys and a host id for your
system to be able to communicate with 'lockdownd' on the iPhone.
It will probably take 5-10 minutes, but thankfully only needs to be
run _once_. It MUST be run otherwise communication will not work:
libiphone-initconf
The generated keys are saved in '~/.config/libiphone/' in your home directory.
== Tools ==
There are currently two more executables 'ifuse' and 'iphoneclient',
both located in src/.
=== iFuse ===
This is probably what you're after; this mounts a view of your
iPhone/iPod Touch's filesystem over the USB interface using the native
Apple protocol (AFC/"com.apple.afc").
ifuse is a Fuse filesystem which allows you to mount your iPhone to a directory
like this:
./src/ifuse <mountpoint> -s
To unmount:
umount <mountpoint>
(nb: '-s' is to force single-threaded mode, as ifuse maybe unstable without it).
Eg:
mkdir ~/iphone
ifuse ~/iphone -s
ls -l ~/iphone
...
umount ~/iphone
Currently ifuse (via the AFC protocol) only gives access to the
'/var/root/Media/' chroot on the iPhone (containing music/pictures).
If you have a device that has been jailedbreaked then an additional
("com.apple.afc2") service will have been installed, without the chroot.
On jailbroken devices only, you can do:
ifuse ~/iphone --root -s
And this will mount a full view of the iPhone's filesystem.
==== Setting up FUSE ====
Note that on some systems, you may have to load the 'fuse' kernel
module first and to ensure that you are a member of the 'fuse' group:
sudo modprobe fuse
sudo adduser $USER fuse
You can check your membership of the 'fuse' group with:
id | grep fuse && echo yes! || echo not yet...
If you have just added yourself, you will need to logout and log back
in for the group change to become visible.
=== iphoneclient ===
'iphoneclient' is a basic commandline interface for testing, it just
runs a few various test operations such as attempting to view/create a
test file in the iPhone, but is mainly a developer tool.
