HOWTO : ipod touch 3G sync over USB without jailbraking

[fugazi32]

ipod-read-sysinfo-extended kept segfaulting, so I just used this command to get GTKpod to sync my Music:

echo "FirewireGuid: <my 40 character long uuid>" > /mnt/iphone/iTunes_Control/Device/SysInfo

(assuming /mnt/iphone/ is where the device is mounted)

Still didn't work...

Hi Im using the OpenSSh via USB cable method, to tether over Iphone 3GS. I installed usbmuxd, but it doesnt work. If im connection my phone to ubuntu (Hardy) it automatically mounts and i can see and access the DCIM folder.

I start
$ iproxy 5000 22
$ waiting for connection

Then im setting up the ssh tunnel
$ ssh root@localhost -p 5000

After this i got from usbmuxd an error like this:
$ accepted connection, fd = 4
$ usbmuxd_get_device_list: error opening socket!
$ Connecting to usbmuxd failed, terminating.

Plz help me, cause i really need this to be able to work next week. Thanks a lot and greetz

So i got it to work, to enter the iPhone shell, like this.

- Connect iPhone via usb
- unmount it using the arrow in Filebrowser
- then sudo usbmuxd -f, then it is connected
- then using iproxy 2222 22
- then
- after that typing in my root password for my iPhone
- then I have the iPhone terminal on my Ubuntu Desktop
- I configured the proxy settings in firefox

But everytime I'm trying to enter a website it throws this error:

channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed


Can anyone help me with that ?? Thanks a lot!

So here is the solution for the problem above:

- put your iPhone to never switch off mode
- start safari on iPhone

then it should work with firefox via your computer
