How to get pictures from old phones Nokia 7250

Hi gnokii developer and community,

 

I think this subject is too old for the day I am sending this email, but I really have no idea to solve my problem.

I have a Nokia 7250 and it’s still working, except problem with the DKU-5 cable. I can’t get it being recognized by my old laptop (Lenovo Y410). Another phone was test with this cable and my laptop recognizes it successfully. I guess it’s phone problem, not the cable and laptop’s driver.

I am waiting for the order of irDA USB adapter to come home in the next 2 weeks to see how it goes, but I found in discussion forum that irDA could break the phone (https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnokii-users/2004-10/msg00007.html).

Now I have an idea to communicate with the phone manually by TX, RX pin through FBUS interface. I know about microcontroller and Arduino, and find some articles about using Arduino board to send message in the phone by some specific message command.

My question is:

• Is irDA dangerous with the latest build?
• Is there any message frame to retrieve photos from the phone to the PC or to the Arduino?

I hope this email can reach rarely active users. I hope you are doing well.

 

Sincerely,

Thank you!
