Wrench Location ID in system_profile

I'm trying to access an old (3GS) iPhone that I have just to play around with it, however the digitizer broke long ago so the touch screen doesn't work. So I figured I could install a webserver, php, python, etc on it to use it as a test server, or at least see what I can do with it.

So when I connect it via USB it doesn't show in /Volumes. When I run system_profile | grep "iPhone" I can find this :

Code:
Product ID: 0x1294
Vendor ID: 0x05ac  (Apple Inc.)
Version: 0.01
Serial Number:               
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
Location ID: 0x1a120000 / 4
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Extra Operating Current (mA): 500

I'm not asking anyone to help me jailbreak my iPhone, my question is, how do I find (guessing from the Location ID) where it is in the /dev directory? Or a location to cd into or ip to SSH into (or even just ping and go from there).

Am I looking in the wrong direction even with system_profile? Is there a way to grep /dev or some other way to see what USB devices are connected and then the path to them or other related info?

I'm guessing this could be a handy thing to know if I have any other devices in the future which connect but don't automatically mount.

Thanks! Smilie

NAME
sane-find-scanner - find SCSI and USB scanners and their device files SYNOPSIS
sane-find-scanner [-h|-?] [-v] [-q] [-f] [devname] DESCRIPTION
sane-find-scanner is a command-line tool to find SCSI and some USB scanners and determine their Unix device files. It's part of the sane- backends package. For SCSI scanners, it checks the default generic SCSI device files (e.g., /dev/sg0) and /dev/scanner. The test is done by sending a SCSI inquiry command and looking for a device type of "scanner" or "processor" (some old HP scanners seem to send "processor"). So sane-find- scanner will find any SCSI scanner connected to those default device files even if it isn't supported by any SANE backend. For USB scanners, first the USB kernel scanner device files (e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0), /dev/usb/scanner, and /dev/usbscanner are tested. The files are opened and the vendor and device ids are determined if the operating system supports this feature. Currently USB scanners are only found this way if they are supported by the Linux scanner module or the FreeBSD or OpenBSD uscanner driver. After that test, sane- find-scanner tries to scan for USB devices found by the USB library libusb (if available). There is no special USB class for scanners, so the heuristics used to distinguish scanners from other USB devices is not perfect. sane-find-scanner will even find USB scanners, that are not supported by any SANE backend. sane-find-scanner won't find parallel port scanners, or scanners connected to proprietary ports. OPTIONS
-h, -? Prints a short usage message. -v Verbose output. If used once, sane-find-scanner shows every device name and the test result. If used twice, SCSI inquiry informa- tion and the USB device descriptors are also printed. -q Be quiet. Print only the devices, no comments. -f Force opening all explicitely given devices as SCSI and USB devices. That's useful if sane-find-scanner is wrong in determing the device type. devname Test device file "devname". No other devices are checked if devname is given. EXAMPLE
sane-find-scanner -v Check all SCSI and USB devices for available scanners and print a line for every device file. sane-find-scanner /dev/scanner Look for a (SCSI) scanner only at /dev/scanner and print the result. SEE ALSO

Oliver Rauch, Henning Meier-Geinitz and others SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
USB support is limited to Linux (kernel, libusb), FreeBSD (kernel, libusb), NetBSD (libusb), OpenBSD (kernel, libusb). Detecting the vendor and device ids only works with Linux or libusb. SCSI support is available on Irix, EMX, Linux, Next, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and HP-UX. BUGS
No support for parallel port scanners yet. 15 Sep 2002 sane-find-scanner(1)
