To mount Nokia Phones on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat

Mount nokia phones on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat

Goto terminal type in
"lsusb" (without quotes)Click here to find out more about the command lsusb.
which should give you around 10 lines of output (depends on usb devices attached), I could spot my Nokia phone:

CODE
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0421:043a Nokia Mobile Phones

This line shows the VendorID and ProductID of the phone, for my Nokia N70:

VendorID = 0421
ProductID = 043a

Now copy/paste the following line in the Terminal:

CODE
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/040-permissions.rules

and add the following line to the end of the text file:

CODE
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="VendorID", SYSFS{idProduct}=="ProductID",
GROUP="plugdev", USER="yourUserNname"

Replace VendorID and ProductID with the numbers from the lsusd result, and yourUserName with your username.

Example:

CODE
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0421", SYSFS{idProduct}=="043a",
GROUP="plugdev", USER="neo"

Save the file and close it. This little trick will give you rights to access and use the USB port where the mobile device is connected.

Then goto Terminal type in:

obextool --obexcmd "obexftp -u 1

If you dont find obextool installed,login as root and then type in

apt-get install obextool

You are done!! Enjoy
