iPhone 3G 3.1.3 sync with Debian

Justyn — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 05:12:37 +0000

This post is mainly for my reference but hopefully it may help some of you. I am running CrunchBang Linux 10 which uses Debian Squeeze as a base. I changed my /etc/apt.conf from “squeeze” to “testing”.

This is how I got my iPhone 3G to sync in Debian.

Step 1 – Install needed packages.
apt-get build-dep libgpod gtkpod ifuse apt-get install git libsqlite3-dev checkinstall

Step 2 – Install packages from Sid / Unstable.

libimobiledevice
libimobiledevice1
libplist1
libplist-dev
libusbmuxd-dev
libusbmuxd1
usbmuxd

sudo dpkg -i usbmuxd*.deb lib*.deb

Step 3 – Download and install ifuse
git clone git://git.sukimashita.com/ifuse.git cd ifuse ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make sudo checkinstall -D make install

Step 4 – Download and install libgpod
git clone git://gtkpod.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/gtkpod/libgpod cd libgpod ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make sudo checkinstall -D make install

Step 5 – Download and install gtkpod
git clone git://gtkpod.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/gtkpod/gtkpod cd gtkpod ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make sudo checkinstall -D make install

Step 6 – Create mountpoint
sudo mkdir /mnt/iPhone sudo chmod 777 /mnt/iPhone/ sudo useradd -G fuse

Step 7 – Get iPhone ready
Plug in iPhone, then run.
ifuse /mnt/iPhone mkdir /mnt/iPhone/iTunes_Control/Device/ sudo lsusb -v | grep -i iSerial (get the long iSerial number) ipod-read-sysinfo-extended /mnt/iPhone/

Now you should be able to load gtkpod and sync music to the iPhone.

Hands-on review of 4th Gen iPhone

Justyn — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:54:11 +0000

It seems that Gizmodo have trumped Engadget this time with a hands-on review of the (possible) new iPhone that was found earlier this week. They pulled the device apart, put it back together and almost have confirmed authenticity.

Gizmodo has taken a lot of photos and posted a lot of specs about the new iPhone. They were unable to boot the device which means Apple may have remotely disabled it.

Cheap cool gadgets and stuff

Justyn — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:18:39 +0000

Everyone loves cool gadgets, keychains and random things. You like them more if they are cheap. There is a place that has everything you can think of which you may have come across called DealExtreme.

They have everything from cheap $2 Gadgets to video games to car accessories. One of the things I bought from DealExtreme was these iPhone charging cables (I bought 3 of them) and at $1.86 each and free shipping, who can complain?

I also bought Rachelle and I a cute Lovers Keychain which is a magnetic heart keychain that splits in two. I know it was only $2.34 but it’s cute and the thought that counts, right?

Optus Tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2

Justyn — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 07:56:31 +0000

There is now a simple way to enable tethering on the iPhone 3G/3Gs using Optus without paying extra. Now if you do happen to get charged I take no responsibility.

Your iPhone must be JailBroken. Add http://apt.iphone-storage.de as a source in Cydia, then search for Tethering and install the one corresponding to your iPhone (Tethering 3G – 3.1.2 or Tethering 3GS – 3.1.2).

Once installed, reboot then open Safari and navigate to http://justynsmith.info/mobileconfig/au_optus.mobileconfig and install the mobileconfig file. Once installed you should be able to go to Settings > General > Networking > Tethering (on/off).
