Send AT Commands to Android Phone

I want to Send AT Command to Android phone.

I know SDK does not support this.
but there are two solution :
1. change the code of Kernel and release your new Android (it seems it is so hard!)
2. LoopBack on

USB.(i

think Bluetooth is same)

About second solution , when you connect your phone to PC with

to send AT Command to GSM Modem.

USB

cable , you will see a

GSM

modem on Device Manager that help you

If we find a solution to loop back on mobile phone , we can send AT commands to GSM Modem.
Question is : HOW to loop back and what tty file on kernel will help us?

About solution 1, I wonder where (in which files of the kernel) is the AT command "manager" within the open
source Android? Hernn Eche Jun 18 '12 at 22:31

first you have to root the phone then in adb shell

su
echo -e "AT\r" > /dev/smd0
if you want to see answer use
cat /dev/smd0
i've test this command in samsung mini,cooper,s+ and it works.
if you use htc (htc rhyme tested) try to adb shell and type this command "radiooptions 13 AT" if
you want to see answer type "logcat -b radio"
try echo to /dev/smd0 for other devices
*you can use this command in sdk java code by using Runtime.exec (require su)

try ATD123456789;\r (add ; at the end of phone number) i tested and it works on samsung.and i think it
works for all of mobile rattisuk Feb 4 '12 at 16:07
you are correct, atd123456789 is a data call that does not support with the phone i checked. thanks for your
answer and regard. M.Movaffagh Feb 5 '12 at 3:23
The above works, but using cat /dev/smd0 & before the AT command is better, since sometimes the
cat command lock up the device, in case the shell TERM is using CTS/DSR as a serial control signals.
