HI!
I've just installed Ubuntu with VirtualBox but when I run the command sudo fdisk -l the device does not show! Just the sda 1, 2 and 5.
I would expect it to show as sdb or something? When I plug it in i hold the VOL+ button and it vibrates two times. On the hostmachine it is detected as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM which I activate in the virtualbox (without the driver as I cant find a driver for it in Windows 7/8.1). It should be able to detect it!
If I do the same thing, but boot the phone i regular mode Ubuntu recognizes the device as the phone.
Anyone have a clue?

Hi,
once you have connected the device to virtualbox,
try running in terminal the following command
and see if the device is displayed correctly in the list
also
after the device has been connected to the guest machine can help you to troubleshoot the reasons why the device is not properly detected.
Also consider that sometimes the USB implementation in virtualbox can result in problems with certain devices, which simply don't show up. it happened to me before with wifi adapters for instance.
In the meanwhile i have a question myself,
i've seen a post about using chimera for unlocking the bootloader from DLOAD to qualcomm
is it reliable?
and most importantly, will the process causes data loss?
i'm in the urgent need of reading the internal flash for data recovery purposes, and i was wondering if i could use some tool (chimera or ATF) to flash the boot loader to qualcomm, and then access the internal flash via USB using DD.
