#

ok let me just rewrite my thing out here

#

so i plugged in my phone

#

saw there was an encrypted backup on itunes

#

reset all my settings because that would get rid of it (i did not remember the password at all)

#

and now it's just not recognizing anything

#

no trusted popup

#

i've reset my phone's network and privacy settings MULTIPLE times

#

and an unnamed software which idk why it violates the filters recognizes that there is an iphone but can't connect to it

#

i don't know why this is happening

#

it's actually driving me insane

#

and literally no one knows anything about it apart from "you probably broke something" which is driving me even more insane

#

i just want to succession my phone

#

i've already partially reset it

#

god im so done

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

you want to also delete backup?

#

https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/releases/download/1.3.0/libimobiledevice-1.3.0.tar.bz2

#

download and extract this on your pc

#

wait

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

well

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

viral orchid you want to also delete backup?

my problem now is my computer is just

#

not recognizing the phone at all

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

yes it’s okay

#

we will fix it inshallah

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

thank you so much man

#

oh these are .sh files im on windows

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:36 AM

#

yeah just figured that out

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:36 AM

#

i have wsl though (ubuntu)

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:37 AM

#

do you have a physical mac?

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:37 AM

#

viral orchid do you have a physical mac?

technically yeah, its a piece of shit from 2007 or something but its a mac

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

that’s perfect

#

if it boots it’s perfect

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

alright

#

should i try installing itunes on there?

#

and then plugging it in to see if it works?

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:40 AM

#

noo

#

just download what I sent earlier

#

actually

#

does it have internet

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

viral orchid does it have internet

maybe?

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

viral orchid just download what I sent earlier

oh ok

#

i’ll check tho

#

and so what is this supposed to do?

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:47 AM

#

wet anchor and so what is this supposed to do?

so

#

if you have internet, we will download Brew (package manager for unix), and from there we will install python3

#

then, we will use brew to download libimobiledevice

#

which is basically a cool interface to talk with ios devices

#

then, we will execute the
imobiledevice pair

#

it will allow you to pair your phone with your mac and (probably?) repair problems in window

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 12:50 AM

#

ohh okay

#

anyways

#

itll be a while before i can get to my mac

#

ill just wait til then

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 12:50 AM

#

aw

#

sucks

#

but that’s very odd

#

I remember using a tool that had libimobiledevice libs on windows

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

oh maybe theres an executable somewhere

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:35 AM

#

@viral orchidok so i did actually get it installed with a CLI ubuntu VM

#

do i really need a mac? it seems to install fine here

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:37 AM

#

wet anchor do i really need a mac? it seems to install fine here

no

#

i just doubted you had a linux laptop

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

oh nah WSL works fine for all linux things

#

its still on my windows computer

#

like a CLI-only VM

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

not sure if wsl works but sure

#

yeah i know

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

oh ok

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

install brew

#

https://brew.sh

Homebrew

The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux).

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

viral orchid https://brew.sh

can i just ctrl-c at this point? it doesn't seem to be doing anything

#

or is it just doing something w/o outputting anything about it

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

no

#

it’s working

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

aight ill just wait a while

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

yeah takes a bit

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

alright it installed

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

now, do

#

brew install libimobiledevice

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

oh

#

i already installed it w/ apt-get

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

no

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

sorted out all the dependencies

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

apt version is very old

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

oh

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

yes

wet anchor Dec 25, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

i mean i cloned it from the github and did the makefile stuff

#

could i have just done brew lol

#

wait

#

how do i add brew to PATH

viral orchid Dec 25, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

echo "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile

wet anchor Dec 26, 2022, 12:36 AM

#

viral orchid echo "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_pro...

this might be because of the WSL thing. ill find another way to add brew to environment variables

#

#

oh i got it working nvm

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 12:26 AM

#

wet anchor oh i got it working nvm

@viral orchid sorry, forgot to ping you, i did the brew install and it worked

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:15 AM

#

wet anchor <@329694178139439104> sorry, forgot to ping you, i did the brew install and it w...

gg

#

now do

#

idevicepair pair

#

this may fix things

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:18 AM

#

viral orchid idevicepair pair

#

lmfao

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:19 AM

#

plugged in?

#

plug it, then do
idevice list

#

i think that’s the command

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:19 AM

#

#

yeah its plugged in

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:20 AM

#

viral orchid plug it, then do idevice list

idevice isnt a command

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:21 AM

#

wet anchor

bruh close that

#

don’t open it when pairing

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:21 AM

#

yeah i opened it after checking

#

maybe a total uninstall will make it work?

#

doesnt seem to have any background processes

#

#

oh lmfao

#

give me a second

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:25 AM

#

uhh

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:27 AM

#

oh

#

maybe a breakthrough

#

so i found https://github.com/libimobiledevice/usbmuxd/issues/126

GitHub

How can I make usbmuxd work on WSL? · Issue #126 · libimobiledevice...

I have installed usbmuxd on WSL and I could not establish a connection with my iPhone.

#

getting this same error now whenever i run idevicepair pair

#

connection refused means that the phone has to be sending something back right, not just a timeout

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:29 AM

#

yeah

#

i think

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:29 AM

#

oh nevermind

#

when i unplug the phone it does the same thing

#

at this point just thinking of booting from a live linux iso

#

and doing it all again

#

actually wouldnt be hard

#

let me get my school computer out

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:29 AM

#

please do that

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

alright my school computers charging now

#

fuck the USB pricked me gotta get a bandaid

#

there we go

#

WHAT THE FUCK

#

my iphone works PERFECTLY with the live mint iso hahahahah

#

it did the whole trust thing and everything

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

viral orchid please do that

ok this is definitely a problem w/ my main computer

#

maybe with windows

#

let me see if it works with my school computer windows installation

#

definitely works off of the linux live boot

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

just don’t use Windows

#

real

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

ok its installing updates

#

im not sure if my school computer has the partition space to do this

#

ok this is so so weird

#

my SCHOOL COMPUTER

#

recognizes the iphone is plugged in

#

and showing up in file explorer

#

and i can access my photos

#

lol

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:51 AM

#

viral orchid just don’t use Windows

ok do you know what could be going on with my computer specifically?

#

my school computer windows installation works fine hahah

#

problem is i have 14 gb free on my school computer so i cant take a backup there

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:52 AM

#

wet anchor ok do you know what could be going on with my computer specifically?

windows is trash for iPhone things

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:53 AM

#

well yeah but theres something i specifically had to fuck up

#

because it works with other windows installation

#

thinking of just wiping my SSD

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 3:53 AM

#

bruh

#

just fully uninstall iTunes

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 3:53 AM

#

true

#

im thinking this is about me resetting my settings on my iphone and my computer having something essential hanging on my iphone already recognizing my computer

#

maybe

#

i can't be sure though

#

alright im gonna test this out w/ another phone

#

my apple usb drivers may be broken

#

alright just tried this out again, its only my phone that doesn't work with my computer

#

even though my computer works with other phones and my phone works with other computers

#

ok i think i got it working

#

downloading itunes again

#

alright uh

#

@viral orchid

#

should i just delete the old itunes files

#

i updated my apple usb drivers and now it shows up on file explorer and the trust notification pops up

viral orchid Dec 27, 2022, 4:23 AM

#

okay so

#

go in the features panel of windows

#

uninstall those

#

iTunes
iCloud
Bonjour
whatever drivers u had
Apple Software Update

#

in this order

wet anchor Dec 27, 2022, 4:24 AM

#
