Re: [gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..
I've had another look at the problem, and at last can report
a bit of success - at least I think I have bracketed the problem...
I started by enabling the USB debug messages in the kernel
(CONFIG_USB_DEBUG) to see if that shed any light on what was
happening, but it just produced a lot of stuff like:
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
uhci_hcd :00:07.2: uhci_result_control: failed with status 44
[cb907240] link (0b9071b2) element (0b03e040)
0: [cb03e040] link (0b03e080) e0 Stalled CRC/Timeo Length=7 MaxLen=7 DT0
EndPt
=0 Dev=0, PID=2d(SETUP) (buf=0c3d0860)
1: [cb03e080] link (0b03e0c0) e3 SPD Active Length=0 MaxLen=3f DT1 EndPt=0
Dev
=0, PID=69(IN) (buf=0b31c9a0)
2: [cb03e0c0] link (0001) e3 IOC Active Length=0 MaxLen=7ff DT1 EndPt=0
De
v=0, PID=e1(OUT) (buf=)
which didn't enlighten me very much.
So I then decided to try something fairly radical and booted a ubuntu live
CD which I picked up at a recent show in a different PC, and used
'apt-get install' to add all the pre-requisite packages and cvs to
download the latest version of moto4lin.
The first interesting thing that I learned was that the error messages I was
getting on connection of the phone are not specific to gentoo - I get exactly
the same messages from ubuntu:
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm
drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB
modems and ISDN adapters
This did produce the '/dev/ttyACM0' device file which you are seeing (rather
than the /dev/usb/acm/0 I am seeing on gentoo). It took me several attempts
before I found a configuration and sequence that worked, but eventually managed
to get the phone recognised in P2K mode and I successfully transfered all
accessible files from the phone onto my disk.
So now I know that my phone and cable are good, and just need track down
which difference between these systems is causing my problem with gentoo.
Havn't worked out yet where the phonebook or SMS inbox/outbox (two items
I really wanted to be able to archive from the phone) are stored.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.

No problem -- I'm a software tester in Real Life (tm), so stuff like

What's got me thinking there's a typo are the following two lines:
if (ph==PHONE_NONE) RAISE(no phone)

This looks to me like if there's no phone, an error is spit out (to
the terminal, if you started moto4lin from there), then it checks to
see if the phone's in AT mode, and then it tries to switch it to P2K
mode. The problem here is that the switch to P2K will never be

line, which means that if there's no phone _and_ it's in AT mode, then
it'll do the switch... which makes little to no sense to me, if I'm
reading this correctly...

That's what was happening for me for several hours until it magically started working... I honestly don't know what the heck changed. But once it decided to work, it works consistently. It also sounds very much like what I am seeing. My /dev/usb/acm/0 disappears the first time it is accessed (either by moto4lin or by just echoing anything to it), followed by a message along the lines of usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 17 in /var/log/messages So far I havn't managed to get it into a mode where it works more sucessfully. I have noticed that on connection I sometimes get: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device whereas on other occasions I get: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 16 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 17 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device ie sometimes 2 descriptor read failures, sometimes 3. so perhaps there is something a bit flakey in there that at some point might just start working. Anyone else seen these sort of error messages on plug-in? I'm really not sure what they are telling me. I can't even find the error message in the source. The closest I have found is in linux/drivers/usb/core/hub.c: dev_err(udev-dev, device descriptor read/%s, error %d\n, all, retval); but the '%s' seems hard wired to produce the string all rather than 64, unless dev_err is doing something funny with its 3rd arg. There's a note in the moto4lin wiki specifically for Razr phones (http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Razr_V3) that says that it's inconsistent, and you may need to run echo AT+MODE=8 /dev/ttyACM0 When I was doing that last night on my laptop, the first time would work, and the second time it removed the device... I honestly don't know what the heck is going on with this program, but it _is_ a pretty early release... shrug I get the device disappearing every time I attempt this. My gut feeling is that the problem has nothing to do with moto4lin. After all, when I am using echo it isn't even running. I suspect it is more a compatability issue between the Linux USB/ACM code and the Motorola gadget code. There isn't much info for the C380 in the wiki, other than the settings that should be used (which are the defaults)... Yes, although it is listed as one of the models that work, so I assume somebody must have managed to get it to go. I still have to try tweaking the kernel USB related config parameters, but if that doesn't help, I suspect I am going to have to bite the bullet and try and find my way around the USB driver code.

rewritten (and moved to line 857-ish), and would work the way I'm

then it checks to see if it's an AT phone, and switches to P2K mode if
it is...

The only significant difference I can see is that the first has a much higher maximum power requirement (500mA vs 100mA) - however both are quite a bit higher than the 20mA of my phone's single configuaration... Both of your configurations have two Interfaces, the first is a 'comm.' type with one end point, and the second a 'data' with two Bulk endpoints. Thus they both look more or less the same as the single config that I have. I tried installing the latest kernel (2.6.12-r10) but that did not seem to make any difference - I get the same protocol error message on connection. So currently I am at a bit of a loss. Unless you have some subtly different settings in your kernel config, it is starting to look like resolving this may require a deeper understanding of USB, the Linux USB driver implementation and the protocols used by Motorola phones than I currently posess (I do not have a copy of the Windows software for the phone, so I can't check to see what it is doing differently).

So... I got home from work, and started poking around at this on my laptop. I'm running SuSE 10 on it, not Gentoo, but I figured it'd work pretty much the same - most of the software on it is pretty close to the same as my desktop... I downloaded the source from the moto4lin site, unpacked it, and compiled it. For two hours, I tried to get moto4lin to connect to my phone, with no luck whatsoever. Finally, not five minutes ago, it suddenly decided to work. What it looks like is that the AT Product ID is one off of the P2K Product ID - the moto4lin website suggests that this is usually the case. For my phone, the values are as follows (these go into the Preferences dialog): AT Vendor ID: 22b8 AT Product ID: 4902 P2K Vendor ID: 22b8 P2K Product ID: 4901 Looking at the moto4lin wiki, your phone apparently uses the exact same values. When my phone's initially plugged in, the USB View list shows it as 22b8:4902. If I click the Switch to P2K button, I see a message in the main window that says that my phone's unplugged. If I update the USB View again, the phone shows up as 22b8:4901. If I click the Switch to P2K button yet _again_, I see [info] Phone pluged as P2K (the typo's in the program shrug) -- this is the magic message. ;) At this point, I can actually use moto4lin properly... don't ask me why this works, but it does. shrug Maybe something in there'll help ya out... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..
Hi, Thanks - I did home in on that one as it seems to be the only one that explicitly claims to support my model phone. I tried the other options first as moto4lin was masked. As per my recent post, the problem I am having seems to be a mismatch in the USB system on my gentoo and what moto4lin expects. Do you have it working? And if so, which kernel are you using? Is your /dev/usb (which moto4lin seems to use) more populated than mine: /home2/digbyt ls -lR /dev/usb /dev/usb: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 hid /dev/usb/hid: total 0 Is it a Kernel V2.6 thing, or is there some configuration that I need to do?

Re: [gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..
Do you have it working? Yes. And if so, which kernel are you using? gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3 (or some other -r? value - can't recall offhand) Is it a Kernel V2.6 thing, or is there some configuration that I need to do? As I said in my reply to your other post, make sure you have USB Modem support in the kernel compiled as a module, and pay attention to dmesg when you plug your phone in -- it'll give you the right device path... just slap that into the configuration for moto4lin, and it should work... (I suspect I also had to change the permissions/ownership of the /dev entry for the USB Modem driver, but that was pretty straight-forward: since I'm working on a single-user system, I did the horribly insecure thing and just chmod 777'd the dev entry... ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Now that I have rectified that oversight I seem to get a little closer, but something is still going wrong. Plugging in the phone now results in the following messages: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device The last message is encouraging, but the preceding error '-71's are worrying.

Re: [gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..
That is encouraging. Which model phone to you have it working with? Razr V3 - it's a pretty sweet phone. ;) You were right - my initail problem was having omitted the cdc_acm driver from my kernel config. Excellent. I like it when I'm right - it happens so infrequently... :) cdc_acm 1-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device Now _that's_ what I was expecting you to get -- the rest of the messages are gibberish to me, though... :( But when I try moto4lin I get [info] Phone pluged as AT Try to connect [error] Unable to connect [info] Phone is unpluged Did you specify the correct device for moto4lin? Should be /dev/ttyACM0. Also, check the permissions on /dev/ttyACM0 -- by default, they're too restrictive. If you run moto4lin from a terminal, it spits out a bit of debugging info that might help too, that looks like this: snip [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ moto4lin Form1 PhoneMan New mode: 1 doActConnect doActConnect P2kProc::doConnect() sh: /dev/ttyACM0: Permission denied /snip ...so I changed the permissions, and tried clicking the Connect/Disconnect button again, and go this: snip doActConnect doActConnect P2kProc::doConnect() New mode: 2 doActConnect Filelist received: 527 /snip What do your system messages look like? When I first plugged in the phone, I got this: snip usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices usb.agent[24980]: Keeping default configuration with /sys//devices/pci:00/:00:1d.3/usb4/4-2 cdc_acm 4-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters /snip After fixing the permissions on /dev/ttyACM0 and clicking the Connect/Disconnect button in moto4lin, I got this: snip usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 2 usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 4-2: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 5 but max is 2 usb 4-2: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 6 but max is 2 usb 4-2: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 8 but max is 2 usb 4-2: config 1 has no interface number 0 usb 4-2: config 1 has no interface number 1 usb 4-2: config 1 has no interface number 2 /snip ...which looks pretty much the same as yours, but everything works the way it should after that, so the only thing I can think of is the permissions thing. shrug Any ideas what you are doing differently? Well, it's a slightly different configuration from the default: I've got the Settings - Preferences - File Manager - Load File list on connect option selected, the ACM Device pointed at /dev/ttyACM0, and read-write permissions for everybody on /dev/ttyACM0... I suspect I may have also gone into the Preferences - Connection section, and clicked the Update List button, selected my phone from the list of devices, and clicked both the Set As AT Device and Set As P2k Device as well, since I've got the right Vendor/Product IDs set, as well... Anyway... hope _something_ in there helps... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..
Looking for anyone that can offer advice on connecting a Motorola C380 mobile phone to my gentoo Linux system via the USB interface. When I connect the phone, I see the following in /var/log/messages: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 A disconnect and reconnect produces: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Any idea what the error messages indicate, and should I be worried about them?
