===very sorry for the time lag; this site is so buggy for me for some reason - I kept losing my replies so I am copying them out to text file for saves === Hi Zokunei and DC_Dave - DC - thanks for joining, I really appreciate it. I saw your post and had certainly put it next on the list to try. I am so far into this other attempt at the moment and so close that I don't want to abandon it yet. Zokunei - I am sorry that a previous reply did not get posted where I answered the all-important 'what am I using' question.

I am using the post from msftguy As far as I can tell it's the same as you are mentioning except it seems that you are saying that I don't have to enter any mount commands via SSH etc. I attached my run log. NEW INFO sort of - - my son, who previously managed my wife's phone says he *thinks* he upgraded it to OS6 but that it might still be on 5. Do any of the mount commands differ between 5 and 6? I'm guessing yes. I am trying to reply but my replies from 10am this morning are still not up on the site. It is now 11pm.

How to use Automatic SSH ramdisk. Automatic SSH ramdisk creation and loading A runnable JAR archive - works on OS X or Windows; needs 32-bit JRE on Windows. Mar 19, 2014 To see more verbose stuff, run from command line: java -jar ssh_rd_rev04b.jar.

Here is the summary of what I have done so far. I have used this: to create a ramdisk and WinSCP into my stalled-in-recover-mode iPhone4. I am all the way into the phone and can see all folders including mnt1 and 2.

However the last step in the directions have me issuing a mount.sh command that results in the following error: Could not mount system volume; retry later or file a bug. Could not mount user data volume; retry later or file a bug. When I look into the code behind the mount.sh I see that it is attempting to figure out which OS I have like this: if [ -z $MNT1 ] then if [ -b /dev/disk0s1s1 ] then # iOS5 echo 'Mounting /dev/disk0s1s1 on /mnt1.' Mount_hfs /dev/disk0s1s1 /mnt1 else at the end, after trying 2 mount commands for MNT1 and 2 for MNT2 it fails and produces the message shown above. If I try to perform the mount commands myself I get the errors: /bin$ mount_hfs /dev/disk0s1s1 /mnt1 GetMasterBlock: Error 2 opening /dev/rdisk0s1s1 GetMasterBlock: Error 2 opening /dev/rdisk0s1s1 mount_hfs: No such file or directory It doesn't matter which of the four commands I enter I get the same result. I am pretty sure that there is something very basic that I am missing in order to get the mount to work.

According to what I can understand from the mount.sh code it seems not to be programmed specifically for iOS6 - is the mount different for iOS6? Thanks for whatever you can provide.

I feel that I am knock, knock, knocking on heavens door. Well I got all the way through to the mount command and it fails. I tried manually using all the mount commands from the mount.sh program in /bin but no go there either. I searched and searched and tried many different thing and then went back to zero and tried the instructions from DC_Dave above -- I really thought that was going to work but I got all the way to the end and redsn0w told me it could not use my version ipsw (iPhone3,3_6.1.3_10B329_Restore). Tried many things in redsn0w to no success. I am truly stumped.

The phone now will not show any display but based on log in Tiny Umbrella it is connecting in DFU. I also got ireb to load it pwndDFU and such so I believe it is working in that way. I really believe all I need is the new mount commands for iOS6 and the original solution from msftguy will work but I can't find the command anywhere. Creative Downloads here. If you can help I sure would appreciate it. I've been in front of the computer for 3 full weekends straight until 2am.

However iFaith worked and I didn't need to use TinyUmbrella as I used iFaith to stitch my SHSH blobs to the ipsw first. You might try this first and then make a no_erase_ipsw file from this stitched ipsw. Next shift restore from the no_erase_ipsw you just made. However, I have not tried this part on iOS6, but I do know it worked on iOS4. Hey, you could even try to see if the no_erase_ipsw_exe will work on an iOS7 ipsw. Dave-you have no idea how grateful I am to get a reply. I actually don't realky know what I'm doing but being an ex-mainframe programner I can follow directions and figure stuff out.
