I got this idea when i was surfing the web in search of a tool similar to the Nokia Pc Suite for my Linux
This How-To works with many NOKIA Mobile Phone, especially for Nokia 3230, 6670, 6680, 6682 e 7610, 6120, Sony Ericsson Z1010, LG U8110/8120.
First of all, we have to grant access for Mobile Phone to “dialout” group.
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
Now we have to add to the end of file:
# NOKIA 6120
BUS==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0421″, SYSFS{idProduct}==”002f”, GROUP=”dialout”
where 0421 and 002f could be different depending on your Mobile Phone.
To check your idVendor and idProduct, we have to type on terminal
lsusb
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 0421:002f Nokia Mobile Phones
Now, we have to reload udev permission file:
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
We have to add our username on group “dialout”
gpasswd -a username dialout
All basics configurations for USB Data Cable are completed. We can start installation of obexftp and obextool GUI. Obextool GUI is written for tk graphic library, so GUI not have a good design as GTK.
sudo apt-get install openobex-apps libopenobex1 obexftp obextool
If you want start obextool from terminal we have to type for the first time:
export OBEXCMD=”obexftp -t /dev/ttyACM0 -u 1″
obextool
or, we can start it simply by typing:
obextool –obexcmd “obexftp -t /dev/ttyACM0 -u 1″
When we start Obextool we can see this error message:
It seems, that your device does not support the memory status feature.
Memory status will be disabled
To solve this problem we have to set some values on obextool.cfg:
sudo gedit /etc/obextool.cfg
set ObexConfig(config,memstatus) 0
set ObexConfig(config,filemove) 0
Another error message that we can see is:
FIle ‘/FileName/’ could not be uploaded to ‘E:/Path’!
Please check your file permissions.
To solve it:
sudo gedit /etc/obextool.cfg
set ObexConfig(config,dir_slash) 1
Good Job! Now your Mobile Phone works well in Ubuntu Gutsy with ObexTool.
If we want add it as Desktop Entry:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/obextool.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/obextool –obexcmd “obexftp -t /dev/ttyACM0 -u 1″
Icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/devices/phone.svg
Terminal=false
Name=Obextool
GenericName=
Comment=Browser your Mobile Phone
Categories=Application;Utility;
So, you can find it in your Gnome Panel over: “Applications” -> “Accessories” -> Obextool
