I have a 3G iPhone with 2.0.1 firmware. I wasn't sure whether GnuPod would work with this device. I'd always liked using GnuPod with my old iPod 2nd generation iPod Nano, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I installed OpenSSH on the iPhone, as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone. The iphone-mount and iphone-umount scripts work fine. I can SSH into my iPhone with no problems. I then tried to run gnupod the way it always used to work on my iPod: > gnupod_INIT.pl > gnupod_addsong.pl mysong.mp3 > mktunes.pl The commands appeared to run fine. I then pressed the "iPod" button on my iPhone, hoping to see "mysong.mp3" available. Instead I saw a depressing notice saying "No Music: You can download music from iTunes". I've now gotten pretty familiar with this screen. I tried rebooting the iPhone and going to the iPod application again. No luck. I then found about the FirewireGUID issue. Using the method described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Retrieving%20and%20setting%20the%20Firewire%20GUID%20(FirewireGuid), I wrote the GUID to /var/mobile/Media/iPod_Control/SysInfo. This file now looks like this: FirewireGuid: 0x0987654309876543 I rebooted my iPhone, reran everything, rebooted again. But still no music. I also tried running mktunes.pl with the "-g" flag to specify the GUID manually: > mktunes.pl -g 0x0987654309876543 rebooted the iPhone, etc. etc. Still nothing. At this point I'm pretty much out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is GnuPod known to work with the iPhone 3G?
