I'm trying to connect an iPhone SE with iOS 11 to a Linux Debian 9.4 "Stretch" desktop with XFCE environment. I followed step-by-step about 5 different guides on the internet how to do so. I ended-up installing the packages:
libimobiledevice
ideviceinstaller
and attempted to use their functionality however with no success.
I tried to mount my iPhone using both: idevicepair pair
which replies with SUCCESS
after trusting the computer, however when trying to actually access the device an error message will pop up citing:
> Failed to mount "Documents on (my name)'s iPhone"
> **Unhandled Lockdown error (-3)**
I tried another approach by using ifuse
to mount my iPhone to a local directory, but it didn't work either. It replies with an error message within the terminal citing:
> Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device. Try again. If it
> still fails try rebooting your device.
I tried to reboot my device, however it did not work at all.
I also deleted the lockdown files according to another troubleshooting guide but it didn't work either, idevicepair
just created new files which again resulted in this device lockdown error.
I to connect my iPhone to my desktop.
