LG Sgold USB comminication in c#

[angel25dz]

many ppls asked me about usb communication with LG sgold phones using widows api's :-)

here my source in c#

When phone is connected without battery, it will be in Flash interface for a short time ==> phone is connected with path : \\.\USB1

1- Import windows dll's SETUPAPI.dll and KERNEL32.dll

 //*********************** API **********************
  
   public const uint DIGCF_PRESENT = 0x00000002;
   public const uint DIGCF_INTERFACE_DEVICE = 0x00000010;
   public const int FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED = 0x40000000;
   public static IntPtr INVALID_HANDLE = new IntPtr(-1);
   SafeFileHandle deviceHandle;
   int numberOfBytesWritten = 0; int numberOfBytesRead = 0;
   IntPtr unManagedBuffer;
   IntPtr unManagedOverlapped;
   Boolean success;
   //______________setupapi_______________
          [DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern IntPtr SetupDiGetClassDevs(ref Guid ClassGuid,
   uint Enumerator, IntPtr hwndParent, uint Flags);
  
          [DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern bool SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces(IntPtr DeviceInfoList,
   uint DeviceInfoData, ref Guid InterfaceClassGuid, uint MemberIndex,
   SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA DevInterfaceData);
  
          [DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
   public static extern bool SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail
              (IntPtr DeviceInfoSet, SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA DevInterfaceData,
   byte[] DetailData, int DataSize, ref int RequiredSize,
   SP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData);
  
          [DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern bool SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList
              (IntPtr DeviceInfoSet);
  
   //______________endsetupapi____________
   //______________kernel32_____________
  
          [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")]
   static extern SafeFileHandle CreateFile(string filename,
          [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]FileAccess fileaccess,
          [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]FileShare fileshare,
   int securityattributes,
          [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]FileMode creationdisposition,
   int flags, IntPtr template);
  
          [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr hObject);
  
          [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern bool DeviceIoControl(

          [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
   public static extern bool WriteFile(SafeFileHandle hFile, byte[] lpBuffer,

          [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

   Int32 nNumberOfBytesToWrite, ref Int32 lpNumberOfBytesWritten,
  IntPtr lpOverlapped);       
   //______________endkernel32__________

2- some needed functions (not all needed for LG)

 //___________________________________
          [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1)]
   public class SP_DEVINFO_DATA
          {
   public int cbSize;
   public Guid ClassGuid;
   public uint DevInst;
   public uint Reserved;
          }
  
  
          [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1)]
   public class SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA
          {
   public int cbSize;
   public Guid InterfaceClassGuid;
   public uint Flags;
   public uint Reserved;
          }
  
          [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1)]
   public class OVERLAPPED
          {
   public uint Internal;
   public uint InternalHigh;
   public uint Offset;
   public uint OffsetHigh;
  public IntPtr hEvent;
          }
  //___________________________________

3 - Read/write HEX data (managed buffer) :

 public string read_write_hex1(SafeFileHandle devicehandle, byte[] command, int commandlenght, byte[] inputReportBuffer)
          {
  
              unManagedBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(inputReportBuffer.Length);
              numberOfBytesRead = 0;
              numberOfBytesWritten = 0;
  
              success = WriteFile(devicehandle, command, commandlenght, ref numberOfBytesWritten,
                  unManagedOverlapped);
   Thread.Sleep(5);
  
              success = ReadFile(devicehandle, unManagedBuffer, inputReportBuffer.Length,
   ref numberOfBytesRead, IntPtr.Zero);
  
   Marshal.Copy(unManagedBuffer, inputReportBuffer, 0, numberOfBytesRead);
   byte[] tempReDim = new byte[inputReportBuffer.Length];
   if (inputReportBuffer != null)
              {
                  System.Array.Copy(inputReportBuffer, tempReDim,
                      System.Math.Min(inputReportBuffer.Length, tempReDim.Length));
                  inputReportBuffer = tempReDim;
              }
  
   string hex = "";
   string h = "";
   foreach (byte inputReportBuffer_element in inputReportBuffer)
              {
                  h = inputReportBuffer_element.ToString("X");
   if (h.Length < 2)
                  {
                      hex = hex + "0" + h;
                  }
   else
                  {
                      hex = hex + h;
                  }
              }
   return hex;
  }
  
   //_____________end readwrite_hex1________

4- Read/Write string data :

  public string read_write_str(SafeFileHandle devicehandle, byte[] command, int commandlenght, byte[] inputReportBuffer)
          {
              unManagedBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(inputReportBuffer.Length);
              numberOfBytesRead = 0;
              numberOfBytesWritten = 0;
  
              success = WriteFile(devicehandle, command, commandlenght, ref numberOfBytesWritten,
   IntPtr.Zero);
   Thread.Sleep(5);
  
              success = ReadFile(devicehandle, unManagedBuffer, inputReportBuffer.Length,
   ref numberOfBytesRead, unManagedOverlapped);
  
   Marshal.Copy(unManagedBuffer, inputReportBuffer, 0, numberOfBytesRead);
   byte[] tempReDim = new byte[inputReportBuffer.Length];
   if (inputReportBuffer != null)
              {
                  System.Array.Copy(inputReportBuffer, tempReDim,
                      System.Math.Min(inputReportBuffer.Length, tempReDim.Length));
                  inputReportBuffer = tempReDim;
              }
   string rest = "";
   string hex = "";
   int n = 0;
   foreach (byte inputReportBuffer_element in inputReportBuffer)
              {
   if (n > commandlenght - 1)
                  {
                      hex = hex + inputReportBuffer_element.ToString("X");
   if (inputReportBuffer_element <= 0x20)
                      {
                          rest = rest + " ";
                      }
   else
                      {
                          rest = rest + Convert.ToChar(inputReportBuffer_element);
  }
                  }
                  n += 1;
              }
   return rest.Trim();
          }
  
   //_____________end readwrite_str________

5 - use of thoese functions :

as I said the phone is connected with path \\.\USB1, we need to open this path with CreateFile function :
part of my code :

string devpath = "\\\\.\\USB1";
    int i = 0; progressBar1.Visible = true;
                       progressBar1.Value = 0; progressBar1.Maximum = 100;
    while (i <= 2000000) //waiting for phone connexion

                       {
                           deviceHandle = CreateFile(devpath, FileAccess.ReadWrite,
    FileShare.ReadWrite, 0, FileMode.Open, 128, IntPtr.Zero);
    if (deviceHandle.IsInvalid == false)
                           {
    break;
                           }
                           progressBar1.Value = i / 20000;
                           i = i + 1;
   }

read/write

byte[] iRB = new byte[20];
SR = read_write_hex1(deviceHandle, pr2, pr2.Length, iRB);

pr2: our hex data which we want to send to phone;
phone response is readed as hex and returned in SR;
iRB: our buffer;

PS: we can use separated functions to read/write (one for read and one for write), it's better I think, in my soft I use a separated functions

thanks good work mate and good link

good work AnGeL25dZ..............

So I can use function posted for BB5 by frensis but only change GUID to \\\\.\\USB1 ?

I am out of my place so cant check anything.

not need GUID in this case, just use connection using device path \\.\USB1
