p2k commander on Mandriva 2008.1

[spikejones]

Okay, heres the dealio. I've never once been able to get p2k commander running properly in any linux distro in any form whatsoever.

I firstly tried the latest few releases built for linux to no avail, the program will never suspend the phone properly and I have to manually do it from terminal with the command

Code:

echo AT+MODE=8 > /dev/ttyACM0

after the swap to p2k mode and opening the program it still fails to see the phone. So I tried a different route and attempted to use windows based version through wine emulation.

First things first was to issue the following command from terminal (as super user):

Code:

ln -fs /dev/ttyACM0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

Then I opened the latest version of p2k commander through wine emulation and set the preferences to use com1 (and turn of the update announcement). At this point the phone is still in AT mode.

Went to the drop down menu and selected p2k mobile phone and the phone made its tone indicating that it swapped modes. However, the application failed to detect the phone after the swap. A check of lsusb confirms that the phone did successfully swap modes. Checking further along though, it appears as though the swap to p2k mode causes the phone to loose its association with /dev/ttyACM0 and by proxy the com1 association. There is no other communications association made after the switch to p2k mode. Any thoughts on how to correct this issue?

You can use this: http://www.el-co.hu/smf/index.php/topic,248.0.html
This (p2k-core/p2kc) is native linux app.

[spikejones]

yeah... thats what I've tried before but the phone never gets recognized by that application and I seriously believe that it has to do with the fact that when swapping to p2k mode, it drops the /dev/ttyACM0 association:

[root@localhost chris]# ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
ls: cannot access /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory

so i dont think that any version of p2k commander would be able to communicate with the phone if the com port association is dropped without another one being created after the swap.

E815 is pretty old model, i think p2k-core can switch it to p2k mode.
try "p2k-core -m /dev/ttyACM0 -v" and post output

[spikejones]

thats actually wrong info on the product list... it is actually Motorola Razr v3m (hence the PID number)

CDMA phones cannot answer info request
Even in win32 p2kc receive "volume name error" when try to get info from CDMA
What will happen if you ignore that "!error sending ctrl data"
and try to get filelist with "file l"

But IterfaceNumber=0 sounds bad

[spikejones]

i guess i understand what you are saying now, but  I just find it odd that the program works for my phone under windows but not really for linux. strange.

when i do the command file l i receive a hex dump of sorts, Im not totally positive if I did the command properly though:

Code:

P2k:> file l
