mitch_de Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I dont understand that : "Look up the following 2 keys: - Product Identification - Vendor Identification Insert them under: IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/EHC1@1D,7/AppleUSBEHCI/Storage@fd100000/MSC Bulk-Only Transfer@0/IOUSBMassStorageClass/IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceNub " Insert HOW and WHERE.

alexcooltranquille Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 You say: The default config is for a certain Sony Walkman:- Device ID: 0x3d8 - Vendor ID: 0x54c - Product Identification: WALKMAN - Vendor Identification: SONY But when un search 0x3d8 in .plist, I don't find him (sorry but I don't understand your How Two) Can you help me to inject my phone? Here is my settings: - Device ID: 0xff9 - Vendor ID: 0xbb4 - Product Identification: Android Phone - Vendor Identification: HTC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214252-anyipod-for-making-any-usb-mp3-player-an-ipod/#findComment-1448607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my settings: - Device ID: 0xff9 - Vendor ID: 0xbb4 - Product Identification: Android Phone - Vendor Identification: HTC If it has mass storage link it should work precisely as said in tutorial. Use IORegistryExplorer for looking up SCSI id of the phone.

Andy Vandijck Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Must product and vendor be specified as an integer or a hex value as you show? plist = allways integer format.

Thanks ! But i always stuck at your readme at this SCSI ID !!! IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/EHC1@1D,7/AppleUSBEHCI/Storage@fd100000/MSC Bulk-Only Transfer@0/IOUSBMassStorageClass/IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceNub Storage may vary… Edit the plist and insert them under: - AnyiPodSBCDriver - Fake iPod SCSI ID - Fake iPod SBC ID all 3 unclear ! I cant find any IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceNub data/ID/entry below IOUSBMassStorageClass. But my Sansa E280 is an USB Massstorage 1 interneal 1 mycrosd card I posted my IORefistryExplorer Screenshoots . Please help and maybe clear/update tthat part of the readme.

mitch_de Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Thanks for clearing. Perhaps rewrite is not to much, because my SANSA is an USB MassStorage Device, also uses some IOSCSILogicalUnit, only that IOSCSIPeriphalDeviceNub is not used /not found.
