Requires a rooted Android phone.
My target device is an iPad Air M2 on iPadOS 18.0.1

Download @flint atlas 's fork of go-ios
#1324369543107448842 message
In Termux, add new sources

cat << EOF >> $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/imobiledevice.list
deb [trusted=yes] https://xunmod.github.io/repo termux main
deb [trusted=yes] https://xunmod.github.io/repo termux root
EOF
pkg up

Install the following packages
pkg in libimobiledevice usbmuxd
You might need something more but I don't remember at the moment
On android -> plug in usb to ipad -> (from notification) set usb to controlled by connected device.
Don't mount as MTP device through android's files app. If you did, unplug and re-plug usb.
Don't unplug the usb until finishing enabling jit.
Start root terminal in termux through tsu
Run usbmuxd --force-exit -> restart usbmuxd without aruguments (do this every time you re-plug the usb or your ipad won't be detected)
Assume go-ios is in current directory and has execution permission, pair your ipad using
./go-ios pair
This should only be needed to be done once
Check if ipad is detected by running ideviceinfo
Run ./go-ios image auto. Wait for download to complete patiently
Either connect both ipad and android phone to the same wifi, or start a hotspot on your android phone and connect your ipad to it (can be done without internet)
Run ./go-ios tunnel start --userspace
Start a new session in termux (swipe from the left side of the screen). Run ./go-ios sidejit (No root needed)
Now find your android phone's local ip address. You can start another new session and run ifconfig to check
On ipad, get the shortcut from https://github.com/nythepegasus/SideJITServer. Remove empty headers
#1324369543107448842 message
Run the shortcut and pray it works 🙂

@south phoenix I sumarised the steps I used to enable JIT on an android phone

To use netmuxd in place of usbmuxd for a completely wireless procedure: #1334535761361375264 message

thanx sir

#

go-ios requires no root
btw if your android phone and iphone are under the same wifi, you can use netmuxd to connect wirelessly

pkg in netmuxd
# Please ensure usbmuxd is not running and sidestore vpn id off
netmuxd

#

btw refresh pairing file (requires usb connection):

pkg in sideloader
# need to workaround a bug before but it's fixed now
sideloader tool run 0

btw you can use sideloader to install sth
sideloader install -i <ipa>

south phoenix Jan 31, 2025, 8:12 AM

#

if I hotspot with my iphone it could be done wirelessly?

flint atlas Jan 31, 2025, 8:27 AM

#

south phoenix if I hotspot with my iphone it could be done wirelessly?

yes i guess

pallid wagon Jan 31, 2025, 10:24 AM

#

Just tried and netmuxd does indeed work wirelessly ❤️

#

Will write down the steps later

#

With the benefit of freeing up the charging port for charging too

#

This thing is so much more convenient and stable than setting up jitstreamer

pallid wagon This thing is so much more convenient and stable than setting up jitstreamer

for real

#

@pallid wagon my android phone fails to set usb to controlled by connected device

#

@flint atlas

pallid wagon Jan 31, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

Use a type c to type c cable

#

I tried using a type a to type c adapter and that didn't work out somehow

flint atlas Feb 1, 2025, 1:54 AM

#

my phone use microusb so I didn't face that problem. For me I just plug the adapter and USB in then the usb device will appear in /dev/bus/

pallid wagon Feb 1, 2025, 8:53 AM

#

Yeah if termux-usb -l isn't empty (requires Termux:API on fdroid), you're probably good to go

pallid wagon Feb 1, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

To use netmuxd in place of usbmuxd (to ditch the usb altogether):

Make sure your ipad is paired already (I think you still need usbmuxd for that)
tsu -> usbmuxd --force-exit -> export USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:27015
In each shell session, run the same export command first
Make sure both the ipad and android phone are on the same wifi/hotspot. Run netmuxd --disable-unix --host 127.0.0.1. Wait for the message Adding device [uuid here]
Start new shell sessions to run ./go-ios tunnel start --userspace and ./go-ios sidejit. Make sure you ran the export command from step 2.

#

Yes but my usb port on my android phone is

#

But is worki and rooted

pallid wagon Feb 1, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

misty mantle Yes but my usb port on my android phone is

...yeah I don't think so

#

The readme of netmuxd does say you need usbmuxd to pair first

pallid wagon Use a type c to type c cable

I used it as well but didn't work

south phoenix Feb 1, 2025, 11:24 AM

maybe I'll try that

south phoenix Feb 1, 2025, 11:24 AM

pallid wagon To use netmuxd in place of usbmuxd (to ditch the usb altogether): 1. Make sure ...

I'll try as well

pallid wagon Feb 1, 2025, 11:28 AM

#

south phoenix I used it as well but didn't work

No notification that lets you change the usb connection mode?

#

idk if enabling usb debugging in developer settings help too

south phoenix Feb 2, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

pallid wagon No notification that lets you change the usb connection mode?

no the notification pops up but when I try to switch the connection control it says it is impossibile

pallid wagon Feb 2, 2025, 9:08 AM

#

idk then

#

I'm on LineageOS

#

idk if that makes a difference

south phoenix Feb 2, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

pallid wagon I'm on LineageOS

I'm on evolution X

#

it's a really well done ROM for my device is well mantained with the latest A15 and the latest security patches available

#

I don't think the ROM it's the problem

#

I didn't find anything on the internet

#

to solve this issue

flint atlas Feb 2, 2025, 11:59 AM

#

you should have no problem accessing the device

#

just start usbmuxd and see if something is wrong

pallid wagon Feb 2, 2025, 12:30 PM

#

If termux-usb -l is empty there is no next step

south phoenix Feb 3, 2025, 7:17 AM

#

I’ll try when as soon as I get home 🙂

pallid wagon Feb 4, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

@flint atlas netmuxd doesn’t seem to work on hotspot

#

Do you know anything about it

#

Or is it by design

flint atlas Feb 4, 2025, 5:00 AM

#

idk

#

maybe try add_device <udid> <ip> to manually add idevice

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 6:39 AM

#

That didn't work out

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

pallid wagon That didn't work out

unset USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS

#

Don't set USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS or set USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS="/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/run/usbmuxd" if it didn't work

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:18 AM

#

Really

#

But netmuxd won't work at all without exporting that

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:19 AM

#

What’ll happen if it is not exported? E.g. usbmuxd failed to start or go-ios failed to connect

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:23 AM

#

termux-usb - l has to be done in tsu mode or without root privileges

#

?

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:23 AM

#

both is ok (root not required however), but an app called "Termux: API" must be installed

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:24 AM

#

it’s installed from fdroid and from the pkg inside termux

#

and has root privileges

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:24 AM

#

south phoenix it’s installed from fdroid and from the pkg inside termux

both

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:24 AM

#

but without root doesn’t return nothing at all

#

and with root is executing smt

#

but from 10 minutes without any output

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:25 AM

#

ok understand

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:25 AM

#

it’s like executing something

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:25 AM

#

Try termux-api-start

#

if it stucks, it means Termux: API is not responding

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:26 AM

#

go-ios doesn't make use of netmuxd without the export

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:26 AM

#

hmm weird let me check the source

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:26 AM

#

south phoenix but without root doesn’t return nothing at all

It only works without root

#

Like I said if that command returns an empty array and you can't switch usb connection mode, there is no next step

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:27 AM

#

hell nah 😢

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:28 AM

#

@south phoenix if you open the files app on android, you also don't see ypur ipad as a storage device right?

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:29 AM

#

pallid wagon go-ios doesn't make use of netmuxd without the export

Due to you --disable-unix
If you're experiencing permission issue when starting netmuxd, just delete /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/run/usbmuxd

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:29 AM

#

Huh

#

idk that option was on netmuxd's readme page on github

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:30 AM

#

ignore that

#

Just execute netmuxd is ok and you don't have to export USBMUXD_SOCKET_ADDRESS anymore

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:37 AM

#

should debug usb be active?

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:39 AM

#

could give it a try, but I don't think it's related

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:44 AM

#

pallid wagon <@813193387334303825> if you open the files app on android, you also don't see y...

i don’t see it

#

i was trying to use different file explorer but that doesn’t change

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 7:46 AM

#

do you have root?

#

if so just sudo find /dev/bus to see if the usb device is here

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:47 AM

#

flint atlas do you have root?

yes magisk is installed and running I followed the github official guide to install

#

I patched the boot.img of my rom etc

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:50 AM

#

flint atlas if so just `sudo find /dev/bus` to see if the usb device is here

“find: ‘/dev/bus/‘: No such file or directory”

#

but root permissions were triggered

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:51 AM

#

south phoenix should debug usb be active?

I have it on but don't think it'll make a difference

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:51 AM

#

south phoenix i don’t see it

If that doesn't show you can't use usbmuxd

#

Without pairing with usbmuxd you can't use netmuxd

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:52 AM

#

so that’s another way to say that I’m cooked?

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

Without both you can't use sidejit

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

south phoenix so that’s another way to say that I’m cooked?

Unfortunately

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

yea but it seems strange to me that I can’t switch the connection control

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

What about another phone

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:53 AM

#

that doesn’t make sense

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

to rule out the cable's problem, although unlikely

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

pallid wagon What about another phone

I had a pixel 6 but I think it’s broken

#

I don’t have another android phone

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

pallid wagon to rule out the cable's problem, although unlikely

probably is the usbc port

#

maybe

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

Does it even mount any flash drive at all

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

yes

#

I transferred files and flashed usb sticks with linux with it

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

idk then

south phoenix Feb 5, 2025, 7:55 AM

#

Also I used apple official usbc cable

#

and another good usbc cable I use to transfer data and the error doesn’t change

#

😢

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 7:57 AM

#

I also use the cable that comes with the ipad's box

flint atlas Feb 5, 2025, 8:06 AM

#

then unfortuantely this could be a problem of ROM if you've enabled some switches like OTG or USB Host mode

#

Or a problem with the usb C to usb A adapter

pallid wagon Feb 5, 2025, 8:26 AM

#

Evolution X seems to be based on lineageos though

#

And I’m on lineageos

#

So yeah it makes no sense that usb doesn’t work
