idevicerestore For Linux

idevicerestore is an utility that restores firmware and filesystem to an iPhoneor iPod Touch device.

First We Need to Install the dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake cmake autoconf \ libreadline6 autotools-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \ libplist1 libplist-utils libplist-dev libplist++-dev \ libzip-dev git-core git-arch git-cvs git-svn git-email \ git-daemon-run gitk gitweb git-doc rsync curl libgnutls-dev libtool python-dev libreadline-dev libusb-dev

Now to get what we need from Git

git clone git://git.marcansoft.com/usbmuxd.git cd usbmuxd cmake ~/usbmuxd make && sudo make install

cd ~

git clone http://github.com/chronicdev/libirecovery.git cd libirecovery make linux && sudo make install cd ~

git clone http://git.sukimashita.com/libimobiledevice.git cd libimobiledevice ./autogen.sh make && sudo make install

sudo ldconfig

Now we can compile idevicerestore

cd ~

git clone http://github.com/posixninja/idevicerestore.git cd idevicerestore ./autogen.sh make && sudo make install sudo ldconfig

We also need ideviceactivate to activate the device

git clone http://github.com/posixninja/ideviceactivate.git cd ideviceactivate make
