idevicerestore building instructions

Since arch linux did not have working packages, I decided to write a script to manually build these packages from source which fixed the issues I was having.

First, download and run the script to build the packages (assuming you have a compiler toolchain such as build-essential on debian or base-devel on arch).

./idevicerestore.sh

Now you can restore an ipsw to the active idevice.

idevicerestore ./myfirmware.ipsw

idevicerestore.sh
