Unable to discover device model #105

Open Dynat opened 8 years ago

Dynat commented 8 years ago

Using Linux Mint and an iPod Touch 2g MC model i have found myself running into an error that i am not quite sure how to resovle

upon running sudo idevicerestore -c ~/mycustomipsw.ipsw

I end up with NOTE: using cached version data Found device in DFU mode ERROR: unable to discover device model

EDIT: I have also updated usbmuxd and tested ideviceinfo which works on my iPhone 6s. ideviceinfo is unable to detect my ipod touch and i assumed that was due to its DFU state which idevicerestore was able to detect. Running the restore command on the ipod touch still returns the same error unfortunatley.

Same here, I cannot restore my iPod touch 6G (it cannot discover the device model)

Here's the log: NOTE: using cached version data Found device in Recovery mode ERROR: Unable to discover device type

Can you both make sure that you update libirecovery to latest?

rubenmdh commented 8 years ago

I have the latest version of libimobiledevice for windows (1.2.0 installer from quamotion).

Regards!

You need libirecovery latest. Also since you are on windows you might need a recent libusb aswell. Windows is not officially supported, but building all required libraries does work using mingw.
