This is a LIVE guide to communicating with your phones modem by AT commands. The information contained here is collected on a continuous basis from various places after having some trouble finding all relevant information in one place. Now this place is here, and if not please post a comment on what's missing and where to find it, if you do know.

All results in this guide have been obtained using a Samsung Galaxy S2 running a stock rooted GB 2.3.4with PDA: XWKI4 and PHONE: XXKI1 on the 2.6.35.7 Kernel. The key documents to have as a reference when working with the Android AT command set are found at the site.

In particular these 2 documents: [1] The ETSI GSM 07.07 ( 3GPP TS 27.007) specifies AT style commands for controlling a GSM phone or modem. [2] The ETSI GSM 07.05 ( 3GPP TS 27.005) specifies AT style commands for managing the SMS feature of GSM. These documents exists in many different versions, so they are not all equal in content.

Background To better understand mobile phone modems and the underlying hardware I strongly recommend reading Harald Welte's 'Anatomy of contemporary GSM cellphone hardware' [3] and Telica's 'Challenges in integrating modems on Open Platforms' [4]. To summarize enormously, I can say this. On a modern Android based 'smart phone', there are essentially two processors. The Application Processor (AP) where your Android operating system (AOS) and user interface (UI) lives, and the Baseband/Cellular Processor (BP/CP) where all the GSM and other high-tech communication magic happens, including the modem we wish to communicate with. In the most modern phones the BP and the AP and all possible other peripheral devices are integrated into one piece of hardware, loosely known as a Smartphone or System on a Chip (SoC). On this SoC there are a number of peripheral devices such as RTC, UARTs, SPI, I2C, USB ports, SD/MMC card controllers and an ISO7816 SIM card reader.

However, to preserve the layered hardware structure, the AP and BP still communicates via UART (serial line), USB, SPI or through shared RAM and/or a combination of these. Therefore there will always be some path directly accessible from the outside that we should be able to use to communicate directly with the BP. Exactly how this is done, is mostly unknown due to the closed source and protectionisitc nature of the SoC manufacturers, to the great dismay of the developer community. Although there are several methods for invoking and controlling modem services, the two most common are through the AT Commands (ATC) and/or through Remote Procedural Calls (RPC).

The ATC method is by far the most popular and the ATC set can be categorized as follows. Code: Call Control: Commands for initiating and controling calls. Data Call Control: Commands for controlling the data transfer and QoS. Network Service: Commands for Supplementary services,ME, operator selection, locking and registraction.

SMS Control: Commands for sending, notifying, setting SMS services. ME Control & Status: Commands for ME power,keypad,display,phonebook,RTC's.The AOS provide support for this framwork in the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), which acts as the interface between the radio HW and the Java Applicaiton Programming Interface (API). However, the RIL is divided into 3 parts or layers if you want. (These are just arbitrary, and not GSM layers!) L3.

The Java RIL (AOS API) accessible to all but with a limited set of commands. The RIL Daemon (RILJ) acting as an interface between AOS and the Vendor RIL.

The Vendor RIL, which is a closed-source and HW-specific implemetation. The OEM/Vendor modem HW and firmware then acts on the L1 ATC's. (?) Thus the job of the RIL is to translate all the telephony requests from the Android telephony framework and map them to the corresponding AT commands to the modem, and back again. Here are two useful pictures that try to explain the various RIL layers. Finding the correct serial device for the phone modem In your phone you will find hundreds of devices listed under /dev. Knowing which one is the serial device(s) used for communicating with your Baseband Processor's (BP) Modem, is key in getting a useful AT communication going.

Here it is also good to know that there are several serial devices connected to the BP. These connections are working in parallel through a MUX. So it is very likely you will be able to use several different devices to send AT commands with. So how do we find an appropriate local serial device on the phone? One way is of course to try to connect via some terminal application to all devices and send some AT commands and look for a response, but that is not very scientific or practical. Different phones may use different default (Modem) serial devices. One way to find the serial devices is by listing available tty drivers.

Code: # cat /proc/tty/drivers. Rfcomm /dev/rfcomm 216 0-255 serial g_serial /dev/ttyGS 253 0 serial ttySAC /dev/s3c2410_serial 204 64-68 serial serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-67 serial.So what are these doing and which one should we try? After Googling around we suspect that: rfcomm = Used by Bluetooth serial devices ttySAC = Used by serial SAmsung Console g_serial = 'DataRouter' (also see dun: (10,123) ) In addition and thanks to the documentation in 's info package [5], it can be inferred from the block diagram that perhaps.

Code: s3c2410_serial0 - UART0 - Bluetooth (ttySAC) s3c2410_serial1 - UART1 - GPS s3c2410_serial2 - UART2 - AP PMIC - A/S1?? S3c2410_serial3 - UART3 - AP PMIC -->AP Level Shifter -->BP UART??

S3c2410_serial4 - UART4 - not used? (PMIC = Power Management IC) The block diagram is this one, from the SGS-2 service manual. Connecting using: a local terminal application or the ADB shell So from our previous results, we would suspect that we could use /dev/ttyGS0.

Since Busybox contain the microcom terminal program, we can simply do. Java Programming For Dummies Ebook Free Download. Code: # busybox microcom -t 5000 /dev/ttyGS0 AT ATI:(However, although the connection is successful, there is no AT reaction on that line.

[ EDIT] (See notes in a later post.) Connecting using: Windows If you are using Windows, you can go into Device Manager (DM) to find the correct port(s) used by your phone. However, depending on whether you set your phone to be used as a 'USB mass storage' device or not, there may appear different devices in the DM. Here we assume that we just physically connect the phone and do nothing more. We're not using the device as a USB storage. Next, under the device class listed as 'Modems', you will probably find at least two modem devices. For example, I have one called ' HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP', which has nothing to do with Samsung and most likely came with the computer with some bloatware. The other one is called ' SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem', which is what we want.

Then right-click to open Properties of the USB Modem device and navigate to the ' Diagnostics' tab. Click on the ' Query Modem' to send some test AT commands to your modem. If this doesn't work, you have a problem, and I don't have an answer.

The result should look something like this. Code: ATQ0V1E0 - OK AT+GMM - AT+GMM GT-I9100 AT+FCLASS=? - (0,8) AT#CLS=?

- COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED AT+GCI? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED AT+GCI=?

- COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED ATI1 - Manufacturer: SAMSUNG Model: I9100 Revision: I9100XXKI1 IMEI: xxxxx ATI2 - Manufacturer: SAMSUNG Model: I9100 Revision: I9100XXKI1 IMEI: xxxxx. See below for an explanation of these commands. Now try this yourself with some terminal application. My personal favorite is the free and fully feature loaded '.

In the Display tab, use ANSI and check the 'newLine mode' box, then in the Port tab, find your port as listed in Device Manager. For example, for me the modem port is located on COM port 12. This is listed as '12= ssudmdm0000' in RealTerm. Connecting using: Cygwin (on Windows) First thing to know about using Cygwin, is that the windows COMn ports are addressed as /dev/ttyS[n-1], thus if you have connected your phone with a USB cable, and you find it is connected to COM port 12, then it will be accessible only through /dev/ttyS11 under Cygwin. Other terminal applications may use different ports. In addition you need to have installed/compiled some terminal program like: picocom, microcom or cu etc. Also make sure the COM port is not already occupied by another terminal program.

$ picocom /dev/ttyS11. This works as expected.

Some basic AT command structure I'm not going to say much about the AT commands themselves, as they are almost as old as home computers themselves. However, let's have a brief look at the 'Modem Query' above. Code: ATQ0V1E0 - This is actually a concatenation of the 3 commands: (ATQ0 + ATV1 + ATE0) where: ATQ0 - Disables echo suppression ATV1 - Enables Verbose command results mode ATE0 - Turns off local Echo AT+GMM - This one doesn't work in direct serial mode (!) and is equivalent to AT+CGMM which shows the device model identification. (I9100) AT+FCLASS=?

- This queries the phone (TA) mode: (data, fax, voice etc.) ATI - This lists: Manufacturer, Model, Revision, IMEI NOTE: AT commands can be concatenated on one line with each line starting with AT, and each command separated by ';'. In some cases the semicolon is not needed. Typically a command without '=' or '?' Is a general command, that sets or gets some parameters. But any command with '=' is a setting command, unless it is directly followed by '?'

, in which case you are querying the available/allowed parameters and their range. If the command is followed by '?' Without a '=' it is a query, asking the values for something. DO NOT SEND RANDOM COMMANDS/CHARACTERS TO YOUR PHONE MODEM Many AT commands can easily wipe or brick your phone or SIM card! I am in no way responsible for anyone bricking their phones, and I cannot help you if you do so. So you better know exactly what you send before you send anything at all.

General AT command list extracted from 3GPP TS 27.007 Here is a list with general AT commands and a brief description of their functions and the document section they are found. The document version I used for the info extraction is shown on the first line. Note: Several of these commands are deprecated or simply not available on the Android/Samsung phone modems, at least not int he form shown in that document. The GT-I9100 Baseband Processor (BP/CP) Specifications Currently I have got two different specifications regarding what BP is used in the SGS2, most likely due to the different versions available of the SGS2 in Europe vs. The ones I have are: • Intel/Infineon XMM6260 is the 'platform' that consists of: a) The X-GOLD 626 (ARM1176?, 40nm) baseband processor b) The SMARTi UE2 RF-transceiver (65nm CMOS) c) The 3GPP Release 7 HSPA+ protocol stack with: Downlink: Category 14, Uplink: Category 7 d) Alternative Names *: Infineon IFX6260 = Intel IMC6260 = Intel XMM6260 e) Picture: f) Datasheet: N/A g) Most likely used in European phones h) is apparently also present in the iPhone 4S. ( check!) i) Closest available documentation: • XMM6160 ( X-GOLD 616, ARM1176) which is also used in the SGS-1: The biggest difference is in the SMARTi-UE RF-chip.

BP remains similar. • XMM6180 ( X-GOLD 618, ARM1176 @416 MHz) used in the iPhone4 & iPad2:. • Qualcomm QSC6085 (65nm,424 CSP, 12x12mm) contain: a) BP: ARM926EJS @ 192 MHz b) + QDSP @ 96 MHz (also on BP) c) Modem: IS-95 A/B, 1X Rel.0, EVDOr0, EVDOrA d) is apparently also present in the 'Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem' e) Picture: N/A f) Datasheet: N/A g) Most likely used in North American (US) phones (CDMA) *It should be noted that Infineon Technologies (Wireless Division) has been acquired by Intel Mobile Communications, in early 2011. In fact these two differences just made a whole lot of sense from the available AT command sets. Basically the modem specific AT commands immediately give up the manufacturer of the modem firmware. (Yes, competing OEM developers do work together!) Because the command sets usually consists of 3 types. • The old school 'Hayes' AT standard given by ETSI GSM 07.07.

• Vendor Proprietary AT commands, specific for each OEM. • Carrier Proprietary AT commands, specific to some service providers. AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon etc.) So for our 2 modem cases above we have the obvious Proprietary AT extensions: Qualcomm QSCnnnn: AT$Q Intel/Infineon XMMnnnn: AT+X which indeed confirms the BP of my SGS2. Obviously there is a far easier way to reach this conclusion. --------------------------------------------------------------- TIPS! To see what baseband processor you have, you can enter into ServiceModeand check.

This should always work as many ServiceMode functions are directly modem dependent. --------------------------------------------------------------- Why? Because the ServiceMode application actually reside in the modem firmware! Do this: Dial: *#197328640#.

A small addendum about the SMARTi UE2 chip The BP is communicating with the RF-tranceiver chip called SMARTi UE2 (labelled ' 5712'), using a communication interface that corresponds to the () standard. Through this protocol the BP (or other device) can also control some aspects of the RF to some minor extent. But without the proper specifications of the 5712, it may also contain other interfaces.

These are probably not directly supported by Modem, but rather interpreted by drexe, as they're not present in the +CLAC list. In addition, some of them just don't work and maybe only provided for backward compatibility for other devices and modems.

Very good to read, thanks for linking me that. But just to correct - AT is abit deprecated interface in SGS, SGS2 and similiar models.

It can be used to control modem directly from PC (not sure if PC is really directly talking to modem or to part of Android's HALs, which is then talking to modem, for eg. USB-UART multiplexer in I9000 and S8500/S8530 is capable to switch phone MicroUSB port between AP USB/UART and CP USB/UART. The main controlling interface used in above models is RPC through oneDRAM shared-memory area. You can find devices like 'dpram', 'onedram', 'modemctl' in kernel - these are critical for proper working of modem. Even if RIL is using AT commands, it does send them through RPC. AP-CP UART connection seems to be used only for early booting stage (at least in I9000 and S8500, haven't analysed I9100 but guess that's similiar) Ad1. There may be no real ability to communicate with modem directly on SGS2 and AT responses you are getting may be from Android, working on AP only, not AMSS (Advanced Mobile Subscriber Software - RTOS working on Qualcomm's CP) Ad4.

These datasheets are most guarded secrets of manufacturers. Only single, incomplete manuals leak from Qualcomm, not really useful.

Also AP-CP RPC protocol is proprietary of Samsung, they got AMSS sources from Qualcomm and they are adding their own drivers there. Oh yes, I gave Qualcomm as example, but is CP in SGS2 Qualcomm? It wasn't QC product on SGS1 but tbh it is also very closed source. While AP-CP low level protocol is opensource (you can find it in dpram/onedram/modemctl drivers in kernel), higher level of that layer - compiled into sec-RIL, is not. AP-CP protocol is different between I9000 and S8500 (general concept remains the same, just it has been rewriten so packet types and structures are different), but if you are interested - we're creating opensource RIL for S8000/S8500/S8530/S8600 device series, supposed to work with Android ports for them - (branch experimental-MochaIPC). Hi, thanks for deep insight! I had to read your post 5+ times to take it all in.

That the AT is deprecated is no secret, but the fact (at least according to some firmware specialists) is that it will still be a while before the OEM's can get rid of the (AT) dependence of their secret and crappy proprietary firmware, that often need to be backward compatible. Regarding whether I'm talking to AP or CP. You are probably correct that I am talking to AP through HAL.

At least from SGS2 block diagram, UART-3 is in the AP, but connected to a level-shifter in the PMIC (still on the same SoC), which is in turn connected to the BP UART-X. (I don't have a clue why this is done so.) So in any case it seem that the AT's are reaching their destination, through some abstraction layer, which may explain why I can only talk ATC's from Samsung Drivers and not from a local (phone) terminal shells. The question is, what happens if we try to use the Bada trick, to go into ServiceMode (SM) and enable the corresponding BP access?

But the SM is different on SGS and that option is not clearly available. However, there is. Code: MAIN MENU -->COMMON -->DIAG CONFIG [1] LOG VIA USB * [2] LOG VIA UART [3] LOG VIA IPC [4] SPEED 115200 [5] SPEED 921600 * [6] DBG MSG OFF (toggle) [7] RAMDUMP OFF (toggle) [8] DUMP ALL TRACEBut these do not seem related to AP/BP connections. [ EDIT] I found it!

The selection of AP/BP connection behavior when connecting your phone as a USB client, to a PC host, can be manually set in the PhoneUtil (PU) menu. This sets the behavior of your phone when connecting it to a PC, so that you can select whether you like it to act as a Modem or PDA, on the USB and/or UART port. The PU menu is different from the ServiceMode menu. Dial: *#7284#.

Not hard to get lost, it took me literally few months to understand all these things. Sources are very messy - pay attention to Makefiles, some of drivers aren't even compiled in. I9000 GB driver (it was reorganised, comparing to Froyo) I9100 driver is in I9100 kernel sources in /drivers/svnet/ and /drivers/dpram/ (maybe also somewhere else, couldn't find direct link) You can find my implementation of SHP OneDram frames-protocol there, based on I9000 GB driver - (it isn't working yet - noone tested it) As you can see - it's only lowlevel interface of sending frames and few parsers. Real parsers and senders of frames are in libsec-ril.so library of platform - you can open it with IDA (I suggest 6.0+, it does deal with GOT of linux DLLs much better than previous versions) and find booting modem, installing callbacks inside of dpram/modemctl, parsing and sending packets and so on. I don't even know where to begin. But I have collected (thanks to you guys) the following very interesting links: Available Source Code: XGOLD-RIL (Omapzoom): Voodoo SGS-1 GB modem: General.

Samsung H1 / Nexus S RIL/Modem support: Nice! Android USB-to-serial: IOIO API Android App: android-serialport-api Great USB GSM/3G stick hacking: ModemManager Hmm?? I am the Replicant developer who worked on Nexus S port and also did the work on aries (galaxy s, galaxy tab) devices and wrote a big part of the free RIL. Replicant is a fully free Android derivate running on some devices (mostly Google phones). If you have any question regarding samsung modems in Android phones, i'd be happy to answer them! I'll attach the mail I sent back to E:V:A next ---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ---------- Modems on Android devices is a wide domain.

Phones differ on many things, like: * modem chipset * modem firmware * transport modem AP * modem protocol * user-space integration (Android RIL) First thing is the modem chipset. There are quite a few. For instance on HTC phones, you'll have the ones included in the MSM or QSD SoCs (which is quite unusual, modems aren't often part of the SoC) IIRC. On other devices, it'll be a separate chip connected to the SoC via various transport methods.

I know better the case of recent Samsung phones, like Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab (first gen), Galaxy S2, etc. There, you have the modem, usually an intel x-gold 6xx, that is wired to the SoC. So transport is done via serial line and/or some dedicated RAM memory (not from the main sticks). Even though a phone can have the same modem wired (at hardware level) the same way, the kernel drivers can be different. That's the case of nexus s and galaxy s.

On the first one, modem Rx/Tx with AP is done via ioctls while on galaxy s it's done via a PHONET network interface (svnet0). SO it's not (and particularly on Samsung phones) only a serial interface you can open with screen: you need to understand how it's done and write dedicated software to reproduce this (cf. The code on libsamsung-ipc/devices/ that is device-specific). So once you have transport set up, you need to know about the protocol the modem speaks.

This depends on the firmware the modem is running. I know that the modem used in Nexus S is also used in some iPhone (4G IIRC) but it has a different firmware and so speaks a different protocol.

I suspect it to be AT on the iPhone while Nexus S speaks a samsung-specific modem protocol. They invented that protocol and rewritten the modem firmware to use it instead of AT or anything else. This protocol is usually called 'Samsung IPC Protocol' and we have a free implementation of it in libsamsung-ipc and samsung-ril. On the Nokia N900, transport is also a PHONET socket and the protocol is neither AT nor Samsung IPC but some protocol made by nokia and implemented in ofono. So you have exemples of different transport methods and modem protocols. I could give you more exemples. Of course, on Android, you need to have the user-space programs (the RIL mainly) to match both the transport scheme and the modem protocol to have anything working.

>Please have a look at our XDA-forum thread: >>'How to talk to the Modem with AT commands': >Apparently you were able to contact the modem with some AT commands. Either the modem has an AT mode that can run along with IPC (would surprise me, but why not), but it may very well be uncompleted and is anyway not used at all in official binaries, either this is Android emulating and AT device while sending back stuff from and to the RIL, either this is not the modem. Anyway I can tell you for sure that this is absolutely not the way to talk to the modem properly. The correct way is to use the IPC protocol and appropriate transport handling (which is way more complex than only opening a serial line). I just started the work on galaxy s2, I'll soon have done the transport layer and we already know the protocol.
