Answer 1

I was able to fix it with libimobiledevice-utils & ifuse

Disconnect your device and install packages.

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils ifuse

Restart your system.

Connect your device to your computer and run this command:

idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair

If you phone shows "Trust computer" messages, select "Yes". By now it should connect.

If it is still throwing error, check if there is a directory var/lib/lockdown. If it is not there, create directory and change permissions for the directory.

sudo mkdir /var/lib/lockdown
sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/lockdown

Restart your system.

Connect your device and run

idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair

Now You can access files from your device.
