Mount Motorola V400 as filesystem (or, how do I transfer files to/from V400?)

KimVette · 03-04-2005, 03:03 PM

I'd like to be able to mount my Motorola V400 phone to transfer files (and hopefully even sync my contacts and schedule) via the mobile connect kit cable.

When I connect the phone to the system, Linux recognizes it as a modem, but what I really want to do is mount the filesystem on the phone to transfer images, recordings, and of course mp3 and MIDI files.

I might have to reboot to Windows for the second time this year to pull the files off. Oh, the pain, THE PAIN!!! ;)

Seriously though: How do I mount the V400 as a filesystem?

Here is the enumeration information:

I'm not real handy with cell phones, but I found something hopeful here.

You may find more help here.

good luck.

Thanks, Peacedog! I'll check those sites out tomorrow.

Peacedog · 03-05-2005, 06:07 PM

Your welcome.
good luck.

So far it's failing miserably. Here is what I found so far:

1. The preferences dialog does not accept changes for the device location. So, /dev/usb/acm/0 is essentially hard-coded into the source. As a quick test I checked dmesg to see what the phone is being enumerated as - /dev/ttyASM0 - and hard-coded that and recompiled.

2. Now, it complained about not being able to write to ~/.qt/ - a directory IT created when I ran it. So I hit that with a nuke by applying 777 rights to it. This fixed that specific problem but didn't resolve the connection issue.

It still won't connect, and I haven't tried debugging the app yet - but since I don't know Motorola's p2k protocol, I don't have enough info to debug this thing. Well, since this project is under a month old I'll wait and see. Looks like I'll need to reboot to Windows - for the second time this year.

You might contact these folks, they may have some better resources.

Hello. I am main developer of moto4lin. I want to answer to this post.

1. Preferences dialog accept all changes. There is only default value in source code, but no hard-code.
2. Yes, all qt programs (not KDE) writes to ~/.qt/

I don't know is V400 supported. At first, try to launch it as root or check, that current user can write to ACM device _AND_ to /proc/bus/usb/*

Yes, project is under a month, but now it supports C350L, C380/C650/V180/V220. Now I am working with C350 and E398 support.
If you can not use it with your phone, then possible there are some differents in P2k protocol. Please contact me via email: dion at rcom.zp.ua.

Project is registered in sf.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/moto4lin/

Good luck.

I can't seem to find my phone either...Slackware 10 2.6.11

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows

I tried # mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0
but to no avail.. moto4lin says

[info] phone pluged as AT
try to connect
[error] unable to connect

sure would be nice to transfer photos from this thing.
Any help would surely be appreciated!

Is dionua still here? Right after I last posted I got REALLY busy at the office and when I came back I couldn't find this thread again. I'd like to work with dionua to provide any debug/test information to help make the utility usable.
