I’ve just been trying to recover an old iPhone 5s which is stuck in recovery (DFU) mode and whilst I haven’t yet had any luck getting beyond the Apple logo yet, I hope the following information may help others.
I installed iTunes 12.10.7.3 on my Windows 10 Professional machine using the Microsoft Store (which now appears to be the preferred way Apple is distributing it) and I connected it up, it saw the iPhone and downloaded the 2.9Gb firmware. I did then try a few other applications to try and fix the Apple iPhone but they needed the firmware – but where was it on my machine?
A few sites suggested checking C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes – but that path was empty for me. However, using Windows 10’s resource monitor, I soon spotted the firmware file was at C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Packages\AppleInc.iTunes_nzyj5cx40ttqa\LocalCache\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\iPhone_4.0_64bit_12.4.7_16G192_Restore.ipsw
I suspect the name of the “Package” may differ between iTunes versions, but that should help guide you to the iPhone IPSW firmware file (which I could have also downloaded from http://updates-http.cdn-apple.com/2020SpringFCS/fullrestores/061-94832/B6D93224-1059-4DF0-9438-78CD3BED57FE/iPhone_4.0_64bit_12.4.7_16G192_Restore.ipsw – but “guessing” that URL might have been tricky).
Whilst PHP’s documentation of SplFileInfo isn’t “bad” as such, it can be tricky to remember what string functions (such as getBasename, getExtension, getFilename, getPath, getPathname, getRealPath and __toString) return under which circumstances. Hence this post!
To generate this data, we’re going to start off with a RecursiveDirectoryIterator with an optional callback filter (to enable us to later on, filter the returned values):
<?php
$directoryIterator=new \RecursiveDirectoryIterator(
'/var/task', // test directory
\RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS // ignore "dot files"
);
$filterIterator = new \CallbackFilterIterator(
new \RecursiveIteratorIterator($directoryIterator),
function (\SplFileInfo $file) {
// add filter conditions here
return true;
});
/** @var \SplFileInfo $fileInfo */
foreach ($filterIterator as $fileInfo) {
$objectNames= [
'fileInfo',
'directoryIterator',
'filterIterator'
]; // which objects (defined above) are we interested in
$methods = [
'getBasename',
'getExtension',
'getFilename',
'getPath',
'getPathname',
'getRealPath',
'__toString'
]; // which methods of those objects do we want to get.
foreach ($objectNames as $objectName) {
foreach ($methods as $method) {
print $objectName . '->' .
$method . ' = ' .
call_user_func([$$objectName, $method]) .
PHP_EOL;
}
}
die(); // we only want the first one as an example
}Give the file /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eot and the “start” directory of /var/task , we get the following:
fileInfo->getBasename = montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfileInfo->getExtension = eotfileInfo->getFilename = montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfileInfo->getPath = /var/task/assets/fontsfileInfo->getPathname = /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfileInfo->getRealPath = /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfileInfo->__toString = /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotdirectoryIterator->getBasename = assetsdirectoryIterator->getExtension =directoryIterator->getFilename = assetsdirectoryIterator->getPath = /var/taskdirectoryIterator->getPathname = /var/task/assetsdirectoryIterator->getRealPath = /var/task/assetsdirectoryIterator->__toString = assetsfilterIterator->getBasename = montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfilterIterator->getExtension = eotfilterIterator->getFilename = montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfilterIterator->getPath = /var/task/assets/fontsfilterIterator->getPathname = /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfilterIterator->getRealPath = /var/task/assets/fonts/montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotfilterIterator->__toString = montserrat-v14-latin-700.eotHope it’s useful to someone!

If you are using Git for Windows and had previously been using PuTTy, you need to make a small tweak to the configuration for Git to use Windows 10’s OpenSSH client.
If you’ve been getting an error like:
FATAL ERROR: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
when running git clone, but a test such as ssh git@github.com works, then you need to do the following steps.
C:\Program Files\Git there should be a unins000.exe executable which will remove Git for youUse (Tortoise)Plink“, but enter in the path to Window’s OpenSSH SSH client: “c:\windows\system32\openssh\ssh.exe“
