After making a few tweaks in the code and running idevicerestore with an administrative user on Windows, I encountered the following error:

Question, have you only tried with the compressed ipsw file? Try if it works with a fully extracted ipsw, just pass the path to the directory with all the files in it to idevicerestore as ipsw "file".

Leon-cam commented 6 days ago

Yes, previously I only tried with the compressed IPSW file. After specifying the unzipped directory, it successfully went through the restoring process. Many thanks for your information.

I pushed a fix to master. It was a concurrency issue with zip file access.

Hi @nikias thanks for applying the fix. Do you know if this patch is universal? Unfortunately, I am having the same issue with Mac mini (M1) after patch.

I have tried both the compressed ipsw file and the extracted "ipsw" directory.

IPSW file version: UniversalMac_15.0_24A5279h_Restore.ipsw

Mac mini M1 running Ventura.

Do you have any other suggestions on how to remedy this issue?

Thanks, @nikias! It’s working now without the need to unzip the file beforehand.
