Download this file on Linux:

http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2img.tar.gz

Extract the file (onto Desktop for example) - open up command line/enter console, cd <DIRECTORY WHERE EXTRACTED> (on Desktop it would be /home/<username>/Desktop/<foldername>), now this:

make
sudo make install


Now type (in base directory of where the .dmg was):

dmg2img -i image.img -o newimage.img

NOTE FROM ME (SkaterGOD/DOOD23): It might be dmg2img -i image.dmg -o newimage.img


Now you can mount it from root:

modprobe hfsplus
mount -t hfsplus -o loop newimage.img /folder_you_want

I'm not sure if you can burn directly the newimage.img, but at least you can mount it and get the files you need.

Please note that AcetoneISO2 1.95 beta 1 will do all this for you in a nice graphical set but it's not for 64-bit. you must compile dmg2img and run make install to make AcetoneISO2 be compatible with 64-bit
cheers!

Err, you tried both of these?:

dmg2img -i image.img -o newimage.img

NOTE FROM ME (SkaterGOD/DOOD23): It might be dmg2img -i image.dmg -o newimage.img

Err, you tried both of these?: Nevermind mate, both those methods dont work, I just run UltraIso through Wine to extract the image.

do this:

compile or download the dmg2img binary. run it on the sdk. then mount it i think the command is like

sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop /path/to/iphonesdkconvertedimage.img /path/to/mount/image/at

then, find inside that mounted image, iPhoneSDKHeadersAndLibs.pkg

run sudo apt-get install xar in terminal, and run these commands on the package.

xar -xf iPhoneSDKHeadersAndLibs.pkg Payload
mv Payload Payload.gz
gunzip Payload.gz
cat Payload | cpio -i

and you will have the sdk frameworks, which hold a folder in each named "Headers", that holds the headers.

Thanks, but I already extracted the image using wine to run UltraIso then followed the guide at theiphonewiki.

XPwn contains three tools that can do this: hdutil, dmg, and hfsplus.

Ubunix.. can you link the guide at thiphonewiki? I haven't been able to find it. And did it all work for you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Can you use the iphone SDK on linux?

No, he just wanted the header files.
