Fail to connect nokia 5310 phone via usb to Fedora 10 after upgrading from fedora 9

nico6789 · #1 22nd December 2008, 03:24 AM

Hello i have problems connecting my cellphone (nokia 5310) to fedora 10 fresh install. Back in Fedora 9 days it worked perfectly, it was autodetected and automounted and i could transfer files to it.
The device works perfectly in Windows but in Fedora 10 it can't be manually mounted. I reinstalled Fedora 9 to a different partition after upgrading to fedora 10 and the device worked but still i can't get it to work in the newer linux. I've googled and found this and this but none of them worked.
this is what i get when i type "dmesg" in the terminal after connecting the phone in "mass storage mode":

Code:

What kind of error (message) do you get when you try to manually mount?

Is hald running in Fedora 10?

Well hald is running i typed "hald" in the terminal and no errors ocurred, when i type "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/phone/" i get this:

Code:

mount: el dispositivo especial /dev/sdb no existe (the special device /dev/sdb does not exist)

When i type "lsusb" in the terminal i get:

Code:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 007: ID 0421:006b Nokia Mobile Phones
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

So it seems to be detected, but if i type "fdisk -l" i get:

Code:

Disposit. Inicio    Comienzo      Fin      Bloques  Id  Sistema
/dev/sda1   *           1        3916    31455238+   7  HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sda8            7847       10011    17390331    7  HPFS/NTFS

As you can see only my hard drive's partitions are listed, none from the usb device "sdb".
Also i forgot to mention i use KDE 4.1.3, and nothing happens when i plug the device, it's not beeing recogniced by the plasmoid.
Also when i plug the phone after a few seconds it goes in transfer mode, as if i were trasnferring music to it.

I found a spanish guide about howto use sg3_utils, but when i type "sg_scan -i" only detects my hard drive and my dvd burner, and it gets stucked in /dev/sg2:

Code:

/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
    ATA       HDS728080PLAT20   PF2O [rmb=0 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
/dev/sg1: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
    TSSTcorp  CDDVDW SH-S202J   SB01 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x5]
/dev/sg2: scsi4 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]

If i stop the transfer mode the phone was in, i get the following or computer freezes:

Code:

/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
    ATA       HDS728080PLAT20   PF2O [rmb=0 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]
/dev/sg1: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
    TSSTcorp  CDDVDW SH-S202J   SB01 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x5]
/dev/sg2: scsi4 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
    Nokia     Nokia 5310 Xpres  0000 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x0]

Unfortunately i can't mount /dev/sg2 manually, i get the same error (device doesn't exist).

Thanks for any help

Hmm a few days have passed since my last post and still noone have answered... perhaps it's a strange bug of Fedora 10. I don't know but i have no other choice than down-grading to Fedora 9 which i wouldn't like to do, or changing the distro; after all untill now Fedora 10 brought me nothing but trouble

nico6789 · #5 31st December 2008, 03:52 AM

Hello,
I've found the solution. it was a bug in the kernel 2.6.27 with this cellphone that is fixed in the 2.6.28 kernel. The solution is wait until the kernel it's updated or do what i did:
Note it worked only in Fedora 10 fully updated for me, in Fedora 9 i went into a "dependencies hell"

1. Download this two packages from Koji to your desktop:kernel-2.6.28-3.fc11.i686.rpm and kernel-firmware-2.6.28-3.fc11.noarch.rpm
2. Install them by runnig this in a terminal:
su -c 'rpm -i kernel-firmware-2.6.28-3.fc11.noarch.rpm'
su -c 'rpm -i kernel-2.6.28-3.fc11.i686.rpm'
3. reboot your system and then, in the grub menu, choose 2.6.28-3.fc11.i686 option.

Now when you plug the phone in you should be able to operate with it normally. (it automounts to /media/disk)

Please, help me with connecting the phone Nokia to the Fedora 11, kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686. I don't know the phone model, maybe 6400. The documentation is lost within years. It is not so old and not so young and vestal then. I give an image.

When I connected a simple Canon camera, it was mounted automatically and the Nokia was not recognized by the PC. Maybe I should execute some commands in the terminal?

Thank you
