Can you mount a skypephone in archlinux?

Hello, I am trying to mount a skypephone S2 in archlinux via USB. When I connect it to the computer, lsusb gives

Bus 005 Device 015: ID 1614:1000 Amoi Electronics

Which I am pretty sure is the phone. I pacmanned a few tools like wammu and gnokki, basically whatever I could find that I thought might work, but all that I can get when I connect the phone is a useless driver "CD" mounted on the desktop which contains windows drivers.

Yeah, so basically, how do I get files from the skypephone to my computer via USB? I'm kind of sure it's possible because I remember doing it at some point, though I don't quite remember how.

Gratitude expressed in advance!

Read man mount page
just connect it and mount it.
use mount command for it .

mount /dev/sdb <mount point>

It can't be mounted. Also, /dev/sdb is not the location of the phone.

Both the blkid and mount commands do not show any entry relating to the phone. Only lsusb shows that the device is detected.

Every other ext3, fat and ntfs partition/disc mounts successfully.

sudo mount -a only mounts some ludicrous virtual disc which contains only windows drivers for the phone.

Perhaps I'm missing something like drivers, software, marbles...?

It should be "just connect it and mount it"? It doesn't work for me.

tail -f /var/log/messages.log gives the following error

load-modules.sh: 'usb:v1614p0407d0000dc00dsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF' is not a valid module or alias name

How do you know? Did you read somewhere that someone else did it? Are you sure it's a standard UMS device?

If it also functions as a modem, that might interfere with access to the memory - something similar used to happen on my Nokia N70, until I blacklisted the cdc-acm module. What does dmesg show when you plug it in?

How do I know? I don't. It was a quote. From arunix. (Above)

I personally did not believe that it would be "just connect it and mount it". If it did, I would probably die of a heart attack.

dmesg gives this, I think this is the relevant part:

I think you may be onto something about it functioning as a modem too, though.

yup. i tried it with mine sony w550i it works fine.

darkbeanies · 2009-09-21 12:13:57

Is a sony w550i a Skypephone S2?

Wait a minute, do you mean blacklisting the module works fine?

Very hard to get anything useful out of that dmesg excerpt - too much going on. Boot with the device unplugged, and when your system has 'settled' completely, plug in the device and then check dmesg.

darkbeanies · 2009-09-21 18:07:35

Too much going on- do you mean the mounting and rapid unmounting of the usb device, mounting cdrom "S2" (which is actually on the phone!) etc. etc? That's what happens every time I plug it in, if that is what you mean. It's like the usb device is mounted, and then the phone gets upset, unmounts it, and then mounts its driver cd (which is on the phone)

Anyway, I'll try and post the dmesg again later when I get the phone back...
