Unable to access any iphone "No device found,..."

Reported by Brandon | July 18th, 2010 @ 01:40 AM

I am not able to get any of the libimobiledevice utilities to detect/connect to my iphone. I have an iphone 4 with iOS 4.0, however I have also tried with my wife's 3GS with iOS 4.0 and my sister in-laws 3G with iOS 3.1.3 and none are detected with the utils. I have libusb-1.0 version 1.0.8 and libusbmuxd version 1.0.8 with ilibmobiledevice 1.0.1. I have tried upgrading to 1.0.2 and still nothing. lsusb shows the device(s) connected and usbmuxd -v -f detects them connected but the utils don't detect anything. I have been using ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit) and also have fedora 13 (64-bit), tried both, both of them are installed in a vmware workstation virtual machine running on Windows 7. Please help.

    usbmuxd -vv -f output is below:

    [20:46:53.710][3] usbmuxd v1.0.4 starting up [20:46:53.710][4] Creating socket [20:46:53.711][5] client_init [20:46:53.711][5] device_init [20:46:53.711][4] Initializing USB [20:46:53.711][5] usb_init for linux / libusb 1.0 [20:46:53.712][4] Found new device with v/p 05ac:1297 at 1-3 [20:46:53.787][4] Using wMaxPacketSize=512 for device 1-3 [20:46:53.787][3] Connecting to new device on location 0x10003 as ID 1 [20:46:53.787][4] 1 device detected [20:46:53.787][3] Initialization complete [20:46:54.244][4] New client on fd 9 [20:46:54.244][5] Client command in fd 9 len 16 ver 0 msg 3 tag 2 [20:46:54.244][5] send_pkt fd 9 tag 2 msg 1 payload_length 4 [20:46:54.244][5] Client 9 now LISTENING

    While that is running and when I execute the command idevice_id -l it does nothing, returns to a prompt and the following is shown in the usbmuxd output:

    [20:51:02.886][4] New client on fd 10 [20:51:02.893][5] Client command in fd 10 len 16 ver 0 msg 3 tag 2 [20:51:02.893][5] send_pkt fd 10 tag 2 msg 1 payload_length 4 [20:51:02.893][5] Client 10 now LISTENING [20:51:03.901][4] Client 10 connection closed [20:51:03.901][4] Disconnecting client fd 10

    If I execute ideviceinfo I get:

    No device found, is it plugged in?

    and in usbmuxd shows:

    [20:51:49.502][4] New client on fd 10 [20:51:49.502][5] Client command in fd 10 len 16 ver 0 msg 3 tag 2 [20:51:49.502][5] send_pkt fd 10 tag 2 msg 1 payload_length 4 [20:51:49.502][5] Client 10 now LISTENING [20:51:50.507][4] Client 10 connection closed [20:51:50.507][4] Disconnecting client fd 10

    Please help, thanks!

    Are the devices mounted? If not, do so. In addition, make sure all of your stuff (libimobiledevice, iFuse, usbmuxd, etc) is up to date. That fixed the problems I was having.

    Best of luck!

    I tried using ifuse to mount the device but its giving me the same issue: No device found, is it plugged in?

    On my ubuntu image all the iphone stuff is up to date.

    All that comes to mind is something to do w/ VMWare. I have a similar setup, save the VM, and the devices (ipt2g 4.0 and iPad 3.2.1) are mounted without problem.

    Sorry I'm not a ton of help, all I can suggest is a liveCD or something like Wubi to rule out or confirm a VMWare related problem.

    Perhaps there is someone else around here who has a better idea?

    It might be the vm but I have seen others on here able to use vmware and still work. I believe one of the dev's do if im not mistaken (thought I read that from another ticket). Hopefully one will chime in soon. lol. Thanks!

    Well, I did go ahead and try booting ubuntu directly and it must be the VMware virtual machine because its working booting ubuntu directly. I thought others had been able to get it to work successfully with vmware? Please let me know.

    Sorry, but we can not provide support for VMWare guys. It's the same issue which causes low-level communication like firmware restores using VMWare to screwup and is certainly up to the VMWare people to fix in their source code which we obviously do not have access to.

    libimobiledevice itself is working correctly. Also some people are apparently able to use it from within VMWare successfully, while others fail to do so.
