[Bitpim-devel] LG VX6000 phone error "Get Phone Data...."

[Steven Palm]

Hey, my USB cable finally arrived, so now I can do some real world
testing. Here is what I saw on my first attempt to load data from the
phone:

An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

What cable is it? Is it a USB to serial convertor or a straight
through connection. What does the System Profiler/Devices and Volumes
tab say?

They are exactly what I get if I talk to the modem interface on the VX6000.
Basically the phone has 3 interfaces when being spoken to directly via
USB. The first two together form a standard USB modem interface. (Linux
auto-binds a driver named ACM to it. Windows ignores it unless you supply
a driver). The 3rd interface is the one that you have to talk the diagnostics
protocols on. It is marked as a having a vendor specific protocol and
no operating system automatically binds drivers to it.

The good news is that I got libusb working, and that way BitPim can
talk quite happily to the phone. I have no issues at all the 6000 on
Linux using libusb. (The 4400 on the other hand - grrr).

What you need to do is build the Python module. Look in the native/usb
directory. You will need Swig installed. You also need libusb header
and library installed. I can't tell from the libusb page if Macs already
have the library installed or if you have to download it. I would
imagine that the build process is astonishingly similar to the Linux one
(in build.sh).

You can then test it by running usb.py in that directory. The first
bit of output should list your phone. Vendor id is 1004, product id
is 6000.

1004/6000 010 <--- the 10 will be different for every user
class USB_CLASS_COMM subclass 0 protocol 0
interface number 0
class USB_CLASS_COMM subclass 2 protocol 1
endpointaddress 0x1
TYPE_INTERRUPT

interface number 1
class USB_CLASS_DATA subclass 0 protocol 0
endpointaddress 0xa
TYPE_BULK IN
endpointaddress 0xb
TYPE_BULK OUT

interface number 2
class USB_CLASS_VENDOR_SPEC subclass 255 protocol 0
endpointaddress 0x3
TYPE_BULK IN
endpointaddress 0x6
TYPE_BULK OUT

It then sends the memory config request to the phone. Your output should
look like this:

opening device
getting configvalue
value is 1 now about to set config
config set
claiming 2
device opened, about to write
wrote, about to read
Starting read request
Ending readrequest read request
read 10 bytes
'Y\x0c\x000\x8cb\x00*=~'

Once that works, run the top level bitpim. The device should be detected
and automatically used.

The charging USB cable from 1xexpress.com / www.rpiwireless.com.

It is USB straight through.

Well, I was specifying the /dev/cu.usbserialXXX device, so I'm sure
this is what I was doing.

See my other note on this, crossed in the e-mail. ;-)

Okay, I'll keep an eye on this. Obviously something is a touch
different between linux and the Mac here, but I can poke around and see
what I find.
