  • Tag set to “ios 1.1.5, ipod touch, 1g, idevicerestore, ipsw, restore”

  Which version of idevicerestore from which repository did you exactly use?
  The bugtracker for this is http://github.com/posixninja/idevicerestore/issues but I will try to see if we can help anyways.

  In order to use idevicerestore you need the latest git master usbmuxd due to the current usbmuxd not being able to handle the mode changes (from normal mode to recovery mode to restore mode etc.) very well leading to the segfault you see.

  You do not need to pass "-c" unless it is a custom ipsw created with PwnageTool.

  Using the "ideviceenterrecovery" tool, you should also be able to place your iPod into recovery mode (the one with the iTunes plug screen) and then use idevicerestore. Otherwise you might need to start idevicerestore once to get it into recovery mode, then if it crashes, simply retry again once it is in recovery mode.

  Another thing might be that iOS 1.1.5 had a different method to enter recovery mode which does not work.

  Thus you might have to do it manually by turning the device off, then pressing the power button to switch it on and immediately hold the home button until the iTunes plug comes up. Don't worry, meanwhile we are able to enter any mode and switch between them. ;)

  I'm using the latest git snapshot from here: http://github.com/posixninja/idevicerestore.git

  I got the info in the README file, and compiled/installed libirecovery and usbmuxd. I got a problem with this usbmuxd which did not recognize my ipod, although the already installed version did. No idea why. It might be about the udev rules for the original usbmuxd that would catch the usb.

  If I followed correctly, I should be able to do the update this way:

  ideviceenterrecory
  idevicerestore -d [my ipsw file]

  How do I get back to normal mode then ?

  Note: It took me some time to find out what the installer of usbmuxd had modified (/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules, actually) to be able to restore the old one, as the "make uninstall" does not, so my PC would not see my ipod after I uninstalled this version of usbmuxd.

  Thanks

  In any situation, if you want to return to normal mode, simply connect to the device in recovery or any other mode using the tool "irecovery" which is provided by libirecovery. Then type "setenv auto-boot true", confirm with enter, "saveenv", confirm with enter and finally write "reboot". The device will reboot and try to boot the installed iOS instead of directly entering recovery mode again.

  Also mind that idevicerestore is pretty much WIP. While it works, it probably requires a lot of manual interaction and knowledge with the irecovery tool as of now due to some Linux specific issues we are trying to work out yet.

  Your best bet is to use the following repositories and branches for latest fixes:
  http://cgit.sukimashita.com/libirecovery.git/log/?h=martin
  http://cgit.sukimashita.com/idevicerestore.git/log/?h=martin

  To verify what is wrong for you we should investigate in your initial problem.

  "ideviceenterrecovery" should bring your device into said mode, if it fails to work, run it with the "-d" (debug) option and post the output here so we can see what is going on.
