does it woks on any linux? can anyone share his working config how to run it?

[tg2sipfork]

tested about 100+ times with recreate disks

withrecreate_disk.sh

does this tested on any linux?

or it works only in mac os?

a)how to run it? - any ideas?

b) i have gone through all the steps

c ) my qemu is built and works - maybe the problem is in it?

d ) my SEP ROM is correct - this is checked

e) SEP firmware is done correctly - according to the manual, all commands completed without errors and I got all the necessary files

f) Both tickets are done correctly

have no idea what to do next

wii it boot without this?
this looks like optional steps after everything has started - but I don't have a startup
not even an apple logo with progress bar - just a black screen in qemu and panic in the log

learn to read.

For restore, you must set the ramdisk. For example: -initrd iPhone11_8_iPhone12_1_14.0_18A5351d_Restore/038-44135-124.dmg.

hi @VisualEhrmanntraut
thanks for your reply

you want to say that

Still waiting for root device and panic - is the expected behavior

and to do restore it - i need to follow the steps from

https://github.com/ChefKissInc/QEMUAppleSilicon/wiki/Companion-VM-Setup

in particular iDevice Tool Setup

I thought - I got at least a recovery screen or something - just trying to boot without a restore....

will try now..

[VisualEhrmanntraut]

the recovery is the damn initrd

[AryaAnish121]

or it works only in mac os?

It works on linux but afaik for applying the filesystem patches you'll need to use macos, whether it be in a vm, a hackintosh or an actual mac. I tried the equivalent commands for linux but found out it easier to just use my hackintosh

[AryaAnish121]

Use the command given in the example (it has most of args needed and mostly works out of the box).
This worked for me on gnome (screen size issue doesnt get fixed on hyprland and other wms), arch:

I added initrd for the restore and display for size issue as mentioned in the wiki

I tried this
as far as I understood, we need to make VM see USB and start trying to restore from it BEFORE booting from NVME
simply adding initrd doesn't change anything
logo for requesting connection to cable doesn't appear
still the same Still waiting for root device

and I also noticed that there

000006.195288 usb-drd-port-hs@00100000: AppleUSBHostPort::initBusCurrent: insufficient power to enable this port

i.e. it literally says "usb - insufficient power to enable this port"

I gave up and just bought an iPhone 8 for $25 and am testing my apps on it

btw, that error is benign, it has nothing to do with your "issue".
