Hi guys! i hope that there is not another thread on this..

Anyways straight to the point. I have a iPhone 2G here running 3.1.2, and its all working fine...EXCEPT it will not connect to my computer. Once plugged in, windows displays a lovely message saying that the device has malfunctioned etc etc...its not being recognised. I have SSH installed on this phone, and i believe the file that is responsible for this rather large issue (no usb connection= no itunes, no sync, NO RESTORE D: ) is 'USBDeviceConfiguration'.

This is located at '/root/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/USBDeviceConfiguration.bundle'

I currently do not have another working 2G available to me unfortunatly, and that is why i am asking, can anybody help me with this issue, and also make a copy of their 'USBDeviceConfiguration' file and host it somewhere? if you could that would be an amazing help!

Thanks guys!

Unless what you are asking for is purely a few XML based plists, then we cannot allow such requests here.

Any binary files that are part of the shipping iOS are copyright Apple. Redistribution of these without Apple's explicit permission is illegal (and considered warez).

Your best option is to download the appropriate IPSW from Apple http://www.hackint0sh.org/f127/22056.htm and then proceed to extract and decrypt the rootfs from the IPSW. You only need a build of the xpwn binaries XPwn - The iPhone Wiki and the appropriate decryption keys from here: Firmware - The iPhone Wiki - I have documented in other threads how to decrypt and extract files from the restore/upgrade ramdisks. The principle is quite similar for the rootfs DMG but the encryption is different so you need to use vfdecrypt VFDecrypt - The iPhone Wiki

We don't allow requests for copyrighted files on this forum.

Sorry! that completely missed my mind! Thanks for helping however

Thanks for the Decrypting help, i was able to obtain the desired file using that. However, it did not fix my problem. Does anyone else know why my iPhone (2G, 8GB, 3.1.2) is not recognised by my windows computer? i have tried this on 3 different pc's different usb ports & i even tried it on a mac. no go i am stumped as to what could be causing this, as if i use the same cable and plug in my iphone 4, it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas they would like to share? Thanks guys!
