Sony Ericsson c902 mobile phone mass storage fails

[Adam Kimber]

There appears to be something not quite right with the UDEV rules for this phone. I have attempted Kernel patching with some unusual dev patches but i could not get them to work. See this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861120 for my attempts.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

Expected to happen, usb mass storage device to automount and pop up a window with the drives contents.

Actually happened, nothing apparently at the user GUI end with the above errors in the background.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Do you have /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd & /dev/sd1?

[Aman (maverick340)]

Udev broke somewhere while updating from 2.6.26 to 2.6.27
Works by replacing the files fromt he older kernel
1. /etc/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
2. /etc/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules

[Aman (maverick340)]

oH and it did'not work for my SonyEricsson T700 too (with the updated kernel)

[Thomas Sperre (thcsp)]

I have a sony ericsson c702 and it appears the same problem also affects this model. kernel 2.6.27-11 generic

[Aman (maverick340)]

i got a udev update today.
  Installed: 141-1.1
It still doesn't work :(

[mattcasters (matt-casters)]

I'm attaching the "60-persistent-storage.rules" files that solves the problem on my box.
It got renamed to "60-persistent-storage.rules.dkpg.something" after the 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade but now all is fine again.
Placing it into /etc/udev/rules.d/ did the trick for my Sony Ericsson C902.

[Przemek K. (azrael)]

My c702 works, but only when I choose the multimedia-transfer mode (I don't know how that is displayed in English, I'm using Polish version), and not the mass storage mode.
Strangely enough, it allows me to transfer less than 129.3MB at once, because that is the amount of free space Nautilus always shows on my mobile, even though I have a 4GB M2 memory card.

[Przemek K. (azrael)]

Oh, I forgot to add that I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

The requested information in comment #1 has not been provided

[Aman (maverick340)]

No. I dont have /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd & /dev/sdd1
I only have one hard drive , as /dev/sda

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Aman: you are not the original reporter of this bug - if you're having similar problems, they may be completely unrelated - please file (using "ubuntu-bug") a different report

[Aman (maverick340)]

Scott : No i have the same problem. I purposely did not make another thread because it would have been marked as duplicate. I even have the same phone. However if you still think so i can file another bug report.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

[Adam (adam-adamkimber)]

Aman is right. The rules from an older kernel worked. Never checked the /dev/ things as the above file fixed the problem. Am now on a much newer version of Ubuntu but wished to keep this open in case people were still using older versions of Ubuntu....

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Adam, what do you mean with "above file fixed the problem"?

Your previous reply sounds like it's fixed in newer ubuntu releases?
