Moto4lin

My two last mobile have been Motorola, previously a V220 and now an E770v. And now with all that of the photos, videos and other things that you can have in the mobile, then for me was indispensable have some program to upload things to telephone and that was from Debian.

In this moment it’s when enters in game moto4lin, one program that connects with the mobile Motorola that use the protocol p2k. You can see a list of the mobile compatible in the page of the program. Though the E770v is not in this list, I did not have any problem in using it with this mobile.

Moto4lin presents a filemanager, a seems editor and an option to manage the utilities and games java.
With the filemanager you will be able to see the files that the mobile has and will be able to add more or download them to your computer.
The seems are a few files of configuration in hexadecimal.
And finally, with the editor java you will be able to upload utilities and games in java, that it’s compatible with your model.

To use moto4lin, you will need a mobile compatible Motorola, the cable mini-usb of 5 pines compatible with the telephone, the program, which you can download of its page and compile it, or you can obtain the package debian in the official repository. Finally and not for it less important, you need the module cdc_acm from the kernel.

In order that the telephone works correctly you will have to:

• Load the module cdc_acm: modprobe cdc_acm, as root.
• Connect the telephone with the cable to usb port.
• Execute dmesg|grep ACM like that you will see where the telephone is connected, in my case it’s /dev/ttyACM0, this can change.
• Execute moto4lin as root.

In this moment we go to Preferences dialog in moto4lin and in the Connection

• ACM Device: /dev/ttyACM0 ((it’s stdout of the command dmesg).
• Give in Update List and it will read the telephone, select it and give to Set As AT Device, this will place us the corresponding number in AT Product ID.
• Give to Switch To P2K
• Give to Update List and return to select the telephone, but now we choose Set As P2k Device.

With these instructions already we should have configured correctly moto4lin for what giving on Connect should connect without any problem, to be able to see the files of the mobile one we give to Update List and the corresponding list will go out for us.

Enjoy it.
