Vieux VS usbmuxd

(And just to tempt you further, here is a link for the tool I would have used to downgrade my 5s: https://github.com/MatthewPierson/Vieux) (hopefully you have a Mac, but there are other tools I think if you don't.)

This is not how you downgrade 5s to iOS 10. I used Vieux in the past to do so.

Using a utility like Vieux. The iPad will need to be jailbroken and you'll need a Mac to run this script.

You can use 32bit OTA Downgrader or Vieux to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1

I had this problem too, you might need to try another utility called Vieux https://github.com/MatthewPierson/Vieux

You can install iOS 6 on any iPhone 4S by using a special method. So these scalpers are taking iPhone 4S's, downgrading them to this older version, and selling them for a higher price as if they were rare.

Downgrading to 10.3.3 is possible, here is one of many tools that can do it: https://github.com/MatthewPierson/Vieux

no, you have to use this, https://github.com/LukeZGD/iOS-OTA-Downgrader or https://github.com/MatthewPierson/Vieux + 6.1.3/8.4.1 ipws file

You can try Vieux or iOS OTA downgrader. If you are not familiar with using terminal, here is step-by-step manual from guy, who did exactly the thing you want to do: manual.

Popos seems to come with usbmuxd, which is a cool idea because it allows you to view the "documents" on an iphone (look into each app's sandbox), use USB tethering and theoretically transfer photos. You're supposed to get two icons when an iphone is connected. One for documents, and another for photos. I'm not getting the photos one and I have some photos I want to transfer.

Thanks! Just curious, was there a specific one that you'd noticed was tied in to what I'm seeing? I found this one, which at least by its description sounds like the inverse problem (doesn't work right after reboot, but works on subsequent attempts) but I might be missing.

According to the wiki page, usbmuxd should start as soon as I plug in my device, but that doesn't seem to happen. I checked and found the udev rule that should govern that at /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules and it matches the rules file provided on the usbmuxd git repo. Even when I try to start usbmuxd manually my device just doesn't seem to show up, though running it in the foreground does reveal that it sees that something gets plugged in. It just doesn't seem to connect the device properly or anything. My main litmus test for if it's connected well is to run ideviceinfo. I always just get back that there is no device connected.

go to the Installation section on this page and look for Debian/Ubuntu Linux: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/usbmuxd
