Hello,

My Motorola MOTOROKR does not get recognised by my Fedora 5. I do not find any /dev/sda* to mount my Motorola device. In XP, everything went fine.

My another mobile Sony Ericsson W810i got detected at once and automatically mounted. I did not do any installation previously and no other too. It is incredible that even the MOTOROKR is Linux based, it could not be detected by Linux operating system.

The USB Connection setting is set to "Memory Card" in phone. After some browsing, I check dmesg and found two new device is detected that /dev/sg1 and /dev/sg2

Somebody help please.

Thanking you,

Sakitram

This may help;
http://www.electrictoolbox.com/scan-scsi-bus-linux/

Thanks for the help.

I visited that page. There I see there is a mapping device name for each device for command "sg_map".

/dev/sg0 /dev/scd0
/dev/sg1 /dev/sda
/dev/sg2 /dev/sdb
/dev/sg3 /dev/sdc
/dev/sg4 /dev/sdd


But in my system, I shown here the result. You see sg1 and sg2 does not map with any device name.

[root@localhost etc]# sg_map
/dev/sg0 /dev/sda
/dev/sg1
/dev/sg2

What to do and how to proceed?
Sakiram

Sorry, I don't know why, dmesg should show it as sdb or something. what is sda?

Thanks again for the answer.

SDA is SCSI hard disk. I do know understand even Linux recognised my mobile and added the device in list, why it is still not possible for you to give guidance. I think there is little configuration is needed to resolve this problem.


Anyhow thank you very much and waiting for someone will help.

Here are some more information.

[root@localhost ~]# udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.4/

udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

Somebody help...

Helo,

I have a motorokr Z6m. In the proccess of trying to get it tethered to my comp to provide internet service to my small network. I came accross some people that said that the rokr needed to have a memory card in it for it to be recognized.

I don't have a card that will fit the phone to test that with and for me it is a secondary issue. I need the phone to supply internet service more than I need to access the storage and what not on the phone.

I don't know if this will help you but I have discovered that when I plug the rokr in I get this results

When I plug in the old Motorola E815 (that works) I get this

As you can see the e815 is being recognized and assigned the 'ttyACM0' with a proper driver activated for it. But the rokr is not. So I have been trying to find the correct package/driver to access the phone with. So far I have found little information about using the rokr in linux as a usb modem.

I also read that not all of the rokr's have a linux based os in them. Don't know how true that is or how to check which os is on it.

I hope to get the issue resolved befor the month is up on the extra line I had to pay for to keep internet service.

I wish you all success in your quest.

Thanks
