Unable to active device on iOS 11.2 about libideviceactivation HOT 17 CLOSED

I think it has todo on how we pass the activation data to the device. It is parsed from xml to plist format in libideviceactivation and then back to xml (and again to plist data) in libimobiledevice so my guess is that this will make the data not match with the signature.

It breaks down to the following error message:

ERROR: HandleActivationInfoWithSessionRequest: Request contains invalid key: ARS ({
    FunctionName = "init_lockdown_server_block_invoke";
    NSLocalizedDescription = "Request contains invalid key: ARS";
    SourceLine = 197;
})

I need to understand what the actual problem here is.

Do you need more detail information or more time to investigate this issue ?

from libideviceactivation.

I could figure out what's missing and am working on a solution.

from libideviceactivation.

Yes, same problem for US, tested with iphone 5s, DFU is Ok but fail on activation.

Do you need more datas ?

same as @truonggiang0710

"Failed to activate device with record."

i printed out the result plist for the mobileactivation_send_command_plist call:

Failed to activate device with record.

from libideviceactivation.

Hmm... So the device gets the actual signature (the ARS it complained about before) but something seems still wrong. I will check again. Also @truonggiang0710 you didn't compile libimobiledevice with --enable-debug-code :)

from libideviceactivation.

ok, it's working with the 2 patches !

Ok to activate with iPhone 5s and IOS 11.2

I'm testing the other exe (recovery, info, DFU etc..)

from libideviceactivation.

Awesome. Will rework the patches a bit and push to master

from libideviceactivation.

We test all executables (deviceInfo, recovery, activation) all is ok for me, many thanks @nikias

from libideviceactivation.

I test with iPhone 6, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and iPhone X (iOS 11.2), all is ok for me, thanks @nikias
