Re: [SLE] Mobile phones: How to get photos off a Nokia 6230 via USB

Hello,

I have a Nokia 6230 mobile phone (not the 6230i) and a USB cable to connect it to the computer. I don't have a serial cable. I'm looking for a way to download pictures from the phone.

When I connect the phone to the USB bus, lsusb lists the phone correctly,

That suggests it DOES have a USB chip, doesn't it?

the module cdc_acm is loaded, and a device /dev/ttyACM0 is created. That made me hope that at least some support is there. Up I go in search for an application.

/dev/tty... makes me think it is trying to connect as a modem. FWIW, I have a Samsung D600 which always tries to connect as a modem, but deep in the settings is an option to change it to usb mass storage (or pictbridge) and after selecting that each time it appears on the desktop.

One other gotcha with mine is that it's only memory on an inserted card that shows up. You can't see the phone's internal memory or the SIM card. So without a memory card plugged in, it looks like it's not working.

I searched on Google, but didn't find anything in the first 60 or so matches.

I tried digikam, but that doesn't recognize the phone. Autoscan doesn't work, and manually adding some arbitrary cameras that look like phones doesn't work either.

gphoto2 is only for serially connected cameras, AFAICS.
The same with gnokii.
If that is not true, I would appreciate experience reports to know that I have to dive deeper in the documentation than I did.

Then I stumbled over gammu. The example configuration file had the information that the 6230 phone has actually no USB chip and needs to be accessed over a protocol called dku2 or dku2phonet and via the /dev/ttyACM0

DKU-2 seems to be the part number of the cable, according to http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,8764,48614,00.html

That page also mentions some other buzzwords that may help (or confuse :).

Good luck, Dave
