I encounter this error during restore iphoin-13-mini.

[nikias]

This error is not during restore. It happens when you try to build the tool. What platform are you on?

[dsdanielpark]

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 in wsl2 from windows10 I followed readme.

What possible error in this procedure? I installed all dependencies. Is there any guide for using brew in Mac?

[nikias]

You don't have libimobiledevice-glue-dev installed. I would suggest to build it from source. See instructions at https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice-glue. Apart from that I would strongly suggest to build everything from source; I have this script that you can try to use:

mkdir limd-build
cd limd-build
wget -O limd-build-linux.sh https://is.gd/limdlinux
bash ./limd-build-linux.sh

First, I sincerely thank you for this wonderful project and your passionate assistance. I greatly respect the hard and demanding work involved in contributing to the open-source community.

I manually built all the required packages as per the manual, but I faced the following error message: (After connect Iphone using USB cable)

(base) user@DESKTOP-A:~/idevicerestore$ idevicerestore --latest
idevicerestore 1.0.0-178-ge4a5ac4
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[nikias]

Oh wow, that looks like a crash. Could you do me a favor and install gdb if you don't have (sudo apt-get install gdb) and then run it like this:

gdb --args idevicerestore --latest

Then once you get the gdb prompt, type r and press ENTER. This will start the process, then when it stops (it will print something about segmentation fault), type bt and press ENTER. Paste the output here.

[dsdanielpark]

Thanks for your support!

[nikias]

Oh, my bad. The command line is a bit different:

gdb --args idevicerestore --latest

Then once you get the gdb prompt, type r and press ENTER. This will start the process, then when it stops (it will print something about segmentation fault), type bt and press ENTER.

[dsdanielpark]

Here it is!

[nikias]

Hmm it looks like this is inside libusb-1.0... never seen that before. I saw now that you are using this inside WSL, did you know you can compile idevicerestore directly for Windows too?

[dsdanielpark]

Is it possible to compile in windows directly? Maybe WSL2 have trouble to access device port.

[nikias]

Not entirely sure why it is crashing (crashes when trying to access a lock, so it's not even trying to talk to any usb device at all). In regards to building this on Windows, you need to compile all the components. Compilation is done with MSYS2 environment: https://www.msys2.org/ Download the MSYS2 installer and follow the installation steps.

Run the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shell and make sure the required dependencies are installed:

pacman -S base-devel curl git mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc make libtool autoconf automake-wrapper openssl-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-bzip2 mingw-w64-x86_64-xz mingw-w64-x86_64-readline

Now, build all the libs and tools of the libimobiledevice project:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/local/lib/pkgconfig

git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist
cd libplist
./autogen.sh --enable-debug --without-cython

Now if everything worked you should be able to run directly from the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shell:

idevicerestore --version

[dsdanielpark]

Thank you again!! last 3 row, I have some error.

This is full history log!

Ok looks pretty good already, also this error:

seems to be resolved. I noticed that I made a small mistake, I forgot to add -DCURL_STATICLIB to libcurl_CFLAGS. Run these commands:

cd idevicerestore
./autogen.sh libzip_VERSION=1.7.1 libzip_CFLAGS="-I`pwd`/deps/include" libzip_LIBS="`pwd`/deps/lib/libzip.a /mingw64/lib/libbz2.a /mingw64/lib/liblzma.a" zlib_LIBS="/mingw64/lib/libz.a" libcurl_CFLAGS="-I`pwd`/deps/include -DCURL_STATICLIB" libcurl_LIBS="`pwd`/deps/lib/libcurl.a /mingw64/lib/libzstd.a -lws2_32 -lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lbcrypt -lssl -lcrypto"
make
make install
cd ..

I also updated it in my comment above.

I'm feeling hopeful as it seems like we're nearing a solution. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my phone to be back in action!! Thank you so much for your help.

Hmm ok it built fine, now it seems it is running with some cygwin library, weird... Let me try to build this on a Windows VM and see what happens.

Ok I took a look and it turns out that I had to install two packages:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-bzip2 mingw-w64-x86_64-xz

After that idevicerestore just compiled normally. I saw that you somehow used x86_64-w64-mingw32, have you been using the MSYS2 MinGW64 shell and installed the packages exactly as I stated above? Maybe you want to start from scratch, uninstall msys2 and reinstall it again, and then run all the commands from the start.

Thank you sincerely for the fantastic project and passionate responses once again!

strange.. i have installed MSYS2 Mingw64. Openned the mingw64 shell, put all commands into terminal as above and got same error as this one:

compiled successfully from scratch without any errors
