HOWTO: Access Motorola phones through USB on Hoary using Moto4Lin

[geniium]

Im having trouble to make it work with the RAZOR V3 phone under Breezy. Anyone has done it ?
Thanks for any info.

I've grabbed all the dependencies, and moto4lin from the cvs repository but when I go to "make" the file I'm getting a error.

~/moto4lin$ make
bash: make: command not found

Am I missing some other dependency or am I just lucky?

it is wierd... have you got automake installed?

foxy123 had this to say:

Yep, automake is installed.

Yep, automake is installed.

ive got the same problem... i have never used this command before so i cant say 'it used to work before' when i check for automake in synaptic it does tell me it is installed.... any ideas what i could do?

i DO prefer installing the software from "Add Application" menu but I wanna connect my moto... im using ubuntu breezy btw....

ok i hate replying to my own messages... but i gotta say it worked so maybe itll help another newbie someday - turned out i DIDNT have 'make' installed... then i had to install also a C++ compiler (whatever that is) - i searched for c++ in synaptic and installed sth that looked like such a compiler.. then ran 'make' again and it worked..

so then when I ran moto4lin, i configured the settings under sudo, then when i ran moto4lin under normal user - the settings were still there but i was not able to recognize the phone, even though it said 'connected' and all the settings were correct... then in the terminal i saw some weird permission errors so i ran the program again as sudo and then i was able to connect/recognize/download things...

so im happy with the 1st step. next - freeing up some free space on my v3, editing seems etc - never done that before either but now.. g'night!

and thanks for that HOW-TO, really!! much appreciated.

Thanks Redgilda. I installed gcc and make, now it works perfectly.

I am having problems connecting to my razor v3.

Vendor ID - 22b8
Product ID - 4901

when i run sudo p2ktest, and it views all my files on the phone and can see it's there.

but if i run sudo moto4lin I get the following output.

[info] Phone pluged as P2K
[info] Phone pluged as AT
Try to connect
[info] AT phone found
[info] Switching device /dev/ttyACM0 to P2K mode...
[error] Unable to open device
[error] Check preferences
[error] Unable to connect

and this is from my prompt...

~$ sudo moto4lin
Form1
PhoneMan
New mode: 2
New mode: 1
P2kProc::doConnect()
doActConnect
doActConnect
P2kProc::doConnect()

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks for your time.
