Dmesg shows the conncetion but ifuse refuse to mount the iPad

Hi everyone
I want to connect my iPad 2 (stuck in the recovery mode) to linux and access it's filesystem contents. I followed the instructions here:
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/s … hp?t=35356
And everything seems to be installed correctly. When I connect my device I have this in dmesg:

[26500.057563] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci
[26500.359727] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1281
[26500.359733] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=4
[26500.359736] usb 1-1: Product: Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)
[26500.359738] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[26500.359740] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: CPID:8942 CPRV:10 CPFM:03 SCEP:10 BDID:06 ECID:00000216A30543AE IBFL:1B SRNM:[DMPJH1UGDFHW]

As you see, the ipheth is now working. By doing the modprobe and insmod, the ipheth comes up like:

usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usbcore: registered new interface driver ipheth

And I have this in usbmuxd:

[19:21:22.393][3] usbmuxd v1.0.8 starting up
[19:21:22.394][4] Creating socket
[19:21:22.394][5] client_init

[19:21:22.398][4] 0 devices detected

[19:21:22.398][4] New client on fd 13

[19:21:22.398][5] send_pkt fd 13 tag 5 msg 1 payload_length 4
[19:21:22.398][5] Client 13 now LISTENING

The ifuse says:

No device found, is it connected?
If it is make sure that your user has permissions to access the raw usb device.
If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and reconnecting it.

I ran it by sudo.

idevice says:

fesqel@ubuntu:~$ sudo idevicepair pair
No device found, is it plugged in?

So, what am I supposed to do? The "idevice" commands also cannot recognize the device. Thay all need the UDID and I don't know how I can get that.

Do more reading:

NAME
       idevice_id - Prints device name or a list of attached devices.
<snip>
OPTIONS
       -l, --list
               list UDID of all attached devices

Thanks. But it does not work. I've already tested that. It says it cannot list the items.

Post the exact error responses that you are getting, for both ifuse and any idevice* commands.

You're right. The ifuse error is this:

No device found, is it connected?
If it is make sure that your user has permissions to access the raw usb device.
If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and reconnecting it.

idevice says:

fesqel@ubuntu:~$ sudo idevicepair pair
No device found, is it plugged in?

No idea then, all works fine with my iPad. Is it possible the iPad won't respond to these commands when it's in recovery mode? Just a guess.

Well, that's a deadly guess, you know. How could we be sure of it?
Actually dmesg shows it. Linux can detect the device and its mode(recovery or dfu)

Well, I've got my iPad 2 booted. Dmesg shows the complete log about successfully connected iPad and it's UDID(serial number). usbmuxd also detects 1 device connected. But again, the error exists.
