I'm making a new thread for this just for the reason that this does not get lost in a similarly named topic. credits to poetic_folly

Assuming you know how to install .pkg files using Mpkg installer, you'll need a couple of files to be downloaded:

http://rapidshare.com/files/50287933/Motorola_USB_Driver_32_v2.7.6.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/87354185/USBNet_A1200.pkg.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/78577070/tnlg

Now that you have downloaded the files, follow the steps below:
1. Install the Motorola USB drivers from the first file in the list above

2. Extract the second package, namely USBNet_A1200.pkg.zip

3. Copy the .pkg file to the memory card and install it using Mpkg installer

4. Now go to USB mode in setup and select modem

5. Now in the main menu of the phone, you'll have the icon for usbnet; click on it.

6. Next go to the memory card, you'll have a folder called sbin created, in that is a file called tlng. Seen it before?? (Yeah, that's the same one you were told to download in the beginning of this guide.) Replace it with the one you downloaded.

7. Now, keep your stylus on this tlng file for around 5 second till you get a menu; select open with and in the popup menu that asks you which application you want to open it with, select usbnet

8. Now connect the phone to the pc with the USB cable. Again, navigate to the sbin folder on the phone (with the cable attached) and open the tlng file once again with usbnet.

9. The PC will start installing drivers for a new device. Just select "no, not this time" -> "automatically install" and then click finish.

10. Now, on the PC, click on "Start"-> "Run"; type "cmd" without quotes

11. In the box that opens, type "ipconfig" again without the quotes

12. You will get a set of IP addresses. Note down the last set. Usually, the IP there is 192.168.16.1 though it has known to be different in a few cases (Note this IP).

13. Now add one to the last digit of this set ie, 192.168.16.1 becomes 192.168.16.2

14. In the same command window, type "telnet 192.168.16.2"

15. You should get a login screen. Type root and press enter. You should get a message "No directory /root Logging in with home = ˜/ " followed by #

16. That's it, you've successfully telnetted into the phone. You need to know Linux commands though in order to successfully utilize this. If you are not familiar with Linux, follow the next step to run a Samba session which you would be familiar with.

17. Now, to run a Samba session, open windows explorer. In the address bar, type in "\\192.168.16.2\system" again without quotes

18. Explore your phone file system on the PC now. (ps. The memory card is listed under mmc in that directory)

Edit:
A small work around in case you get the following error:

"Connecting To 192.168.16.2...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23:
Connect failed"

in this case, follow the same procedure upto point no. 13. Then in the cmd prompt, type telnet. u will get a change in the prompt (it changes to telnet)
now type "open 192.168.16.2 23"
if you have followed all the instructions, you should get a login screen, user name is root and leave the password blank

Thanx Konig !! have been searching for this all evening now!!!...

i followed your post and have finally managed to get drivers installed, and now i am stuck at step 14, typeing telnet [IP] gives me an error:

"Connecting To 192.168.16.2...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23:
Connect failed"

what am i missing???

Rahul

PS: also my sbin folder only has one file, tnlg.

[Konig]

you would have to replace the tlng file in the sbin folder (which is created after clicking on usbnet) with the one you downloaded

[Rahul2435]

tried it with the original thing, ... tried it with yours,
result being the same!

Help!!!

[Konig]

ok, do this:
make sure u have set the phone to modem mode.
after this, connect to the pc, navigate to the sbin folder and open the tlng file with usbnet. the pc should start installing usb networking drivers.
once this is done, simply go to start -> run
type cmd
in the box that opens, type telnet 192.168.16.2 (just be sure ur typing the correct IP address, obviously, there will be other ports open too, just select the ip from the last one which is usually ur phone)

[aksd]

Maybe the problem I faced is worth mentioning since while searching for a fix, I spent 2 days and found none.

I got this problem after flashing my phone. Maybe it was because I installed all the apps after a couple of days after flashing...dunno but it was as below:
The phone would go in USB Lan mode correctly, but just won't telnet
I ran ifconfig through ekonsole and the problem was my E6's usbl0 inet ip addr: 192.168.1.2
My pc was assigned an ip of 192.168.16.1
Therefore there was no way to connect the two.

In absence of any other fix that I know of currently, what I need to do to telnet is:
Connect phone to pc, put in USB LAN mode.
Run ifconfig usbl0 192.168.16.2 command in ekonsole.
Then telnet works fine

Alternatively you manually configure your pc's ip address to 192.168.1.1 so you won't have to run any commands everytime you wan't to telnet


Also, there's a much shorter and much simpler way to telnet now using Eakrin's USB Changer.
