Hi Chris
I have tested with btool and am uncertain of the result of my test.
Here is what I get (removing the PIN):
Blackberry devices found:
Device ID: 0xABCDEFG. PIN: 12345678, Description: RIM BlackBerry Device
Using device (PIN): 12345678
Bad packet size. Packet: 26. DataSize(): 26. Required size: 44
00000000: 00 00 1a 00 09 ff 00 07 52 49 4d 20 44 65 73
6b ........RIM Desk
00000010: 74 6f 70 00 00 00 00 00 02 00
top.......
Barry::Error caught: Bad packet size. Packet: 26. DataSize(): 26.
Required size: 44
I take it this is a fail?
So then I moved bcharge out of /root and back to its original location.
Guess what? The drive mounted. I ran the btool -d and it listed all my
address book entries.
I ejected my phone / unmounted, then unplugged it. I plugged it back in
and the drive mounted again.
WEIRD.
BUT, I had rebooted about 30 minutes ago. I notice before that bcharge
worked if the machine had been freshly bounced.
Will keep you posted.
