[Solved] Using my Nokia 5800 on a windows guest

Post by hpalma »

I'm using VirtualBox 3.0.2 and i would like to updated my Nokia 5800 phone using the Nokia software on a windows guest.

On the host the lsusb command shows:

Code: Select all

Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0421:0154 Nokia Mobile Phones
I added this device in the usb settings of the virtual machine and started it. But it's not detected.
I can see it under the menu Devices / USB Devices but it shows up as "unavailable".

Any ideas ?
Thanks.

On openSUSE add the file /etc/udev/rules.d/11-vboxdrv.rules with the following content:
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="VirtualBox/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
Reboot or as root issue the following command: udevadm trigger

That worked great.
Everything works now.

Thanks.
