libimobiledevice VS iManager

No smartphone these days gives you access at the mass storage level anymore (because it causes issues for concurrent access from the phone and computer, because there's often encryption etc.), so the underlying file system in this scenario is completely irrelevant and has no bearing on you being able to access the phone's data on Linux.

Android uses MTP or PTP (can't remember which) for that type of access, while iOS uses something proprietary, but there's a Linux implementation that worked reasonably well for me last time I had a Linux laptop: https://libimobiledevice.org/

It even supports WiFi, so you can have automatic backups every night while the phone is charging. Also the protocol has been reverse engineered, it’s possible to use a Linux server instead of having to use iTunes on windows or buying a Mac..

Install libimobiledevice Manually https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice [Remove the (libimobiledevice-glue-dev \) line from the first command for it to work]

On Linux you can use libimobiledevice’s (1) idevicebackup2 to backup an iOS device.

Maybe something like https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice? I'm not sure, I haven't tried to do this.

Where would one begin to look stack wise? Ive looked into some C libraries and https://libimobiledevice.org is the only clue I’ve got.

I already tried a non-jailbreak way of doing so by using libimobiledevice. Unfortunately, this library doesn't work via network, it can only shutdown devices with usb connection.

Make sure you have “Cydia Substrate”, “libhooker” or “Substitute” installed Install openssh on your iPhone using Cydia or Sileo. Download the latest iManager dmg from here https://github.com/IJustNeedOffsets/iManager/releases double click it and drag iphoneManage.app in your applications folder. Launch iManger and wait a few seconds when you open it for the first time. Now click install dependencies and quit the program when it’s done. Open iManager again and click install dependencies again, wait for iManager to tell you it’s done. Then click reload information when you iPhone has resprung.

IMPORTANT Read what I changed here. I have to apologize for not testing my program enough and trying out on other macs. I think a new stable version without issues should be ready to be released next Friday or Saturday Again I’m really sorry if you had any bad experience with iManager https://github.com/IJustNeedOffsets/iManager Also planning to change the name to pwnedConfigurator to reference to ApleConfigurator
