HOWTO: Access Motorola phones through USB on Hoary using Moto4Lin

[wizard10000]

Spam (searched for bitpim threads) but I got mine working.

I purged the 1.0.6 installation from Jaunty and installed v1.05 from Soureforge and my phone connected first time on /dev/ttyACM0 - wouldn't connect at all with the version of bitpim that comes with Jaunty.

Just wanted to thank serj_alligator. I've been messin' with this all day with no luck. Turns out all I had to do was change usb settings to data/fax connection. good to go now. Just have to run as root.

So I have successfully loaded ringtones from my Linux box onto my w385 with moto4lin, but they don't play - you hear a little burp but that's all. The phone says they are there and are the correct size, the file attributes are correct, and all of the original verizon ringtones work. I have tried all different lengths up to 30 seconds, both mp3 and qcp, all different bit rates, used raw files or audacity modified or iwrt.com supplied. I have followed all the hints about deleting the data bases, restarting, and even removing the battery. Everything gives me a file in a/brew/mod/my_ringers that just burps at me. I'm frustrated because so many people here get through the upload process but once the ringtone is on the phone it just works. Any thoughts?

Hi.

I am trying to connect my Motorola Razr V3i to my Ubuntu Karmic Koala.

I am trying to use Moto4lin but I am not able to browse my phone contact and file system.

Can anyone help me please?
Thank you.

Ok, I managed to connect. Is there any way to access the phone book?

How? I've been trying to get this to work, different combinations of numbers in fields, press this button before that one, for an age. I feel like I'm trying to figure out some ritual from scratch.

I'm having problems as well. I'm trying to set up a razr V3 (at least that's what it says on the serial # label) and having no luck.

I'm running moto4lin as sudo...

ACM device: /dev/ttyACM0
AT Vendor: 22b8
AT Product: 4902
2PK Vendor: 22b8
2PK Product: 4901

And no dice...I keep seeing this in the terminal:

craig@craig-desktop:~$ sudo moto4lin

Any thoughts?
