Phone file system can't be browsed

[mylo]

Hi, when plugging my HTC phone

Code Select Expand

Bus 005 Device 006: ID 0bb4:0fb5 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)

I select "Open device .." from the notifer. This click provides me an error (see attached pic), telling:

Code Select Expand

"Error, file or folder does not exist"

so that I cannot browse it. I would like to browse it in krusader, not airdroid.

Any hints?

What file system does your phone use, most newer ones use mtp can Krusader open mpt it maybe needs mtpfs installed.It was a problem when phones went over to mtp from mass storage but most file managers now handle mtp ok.

[mylo]

it is an android os, but I do not know the fs type. with mtpfs same error message.


Do I have to create a udev rule myself?

[towo]

mtp is not a filesystem, it's a protocol.


And yes, new Android versions using MTP.
So check, which mtp packages you have installed.

dpkg -l | grep mtp provides me:

with my Samsung SIII file transfer works. In dolphin it is automagically listed as a device and with the address "mtp:/GT-I9300/Card (or) Phone"
The phone itself use the mtp-modus, when connected to the pc.

thanks,

seems I do not miss a pack. I will check the dev options on the phone and other settings.
Even in dolphin the device does not show up under "mtp:".

May be it is a usb prob. I will check also the udev rules.

[mylo]

By selecting an other usb port, I can provoque the attached messages:

I do not know if it is fully far what you need, but, at least for exchanging not huge files, You can install on phone ES File Explorer and activate an ftp server + the remote control manager. In this way, from dolphin You'll see the phone via WIFI .

[mylo]

Hi Ercolinix,


I want to clean up the dir of the phone in a comfortable way. May be there are other hints. Thanks.

Make sure USB Debugging (Andoid Debugging in Marshmallow) is turned on (developer options), if it is and you still can't connect

You could try this

Code Select Expand

nano /etc/fuse.conf

Make this

Code Select Expand

# Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options.
#user_allow_other

look like this

Code Select Expand

Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options.
user_allow_other

Reboot. You might get away with just doing

Code Select Expand

service udev restart

[mylo]

Thanks piper,


I assume this will make it. Will try and report.

[mylo]

Finally weekend, could now try piper's proposal but without success.

EDIT: sorry have to try reboot in addition

No success at all. I tried

Code Select Expand

#Bus 005 Device 007: ID 0bb4:0f25 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
#SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

both of the rules in 51.android.rules and also both commented with and without "GROUP...".

Interesting seems to me, that the phone appears with a double entry as media player in the popup that lists the plugged devices.
The error message is always the same.

mtpfs -l provides me:

Code Select Expand

Do I have to teach/tell fuse mountpoint params? Where can this be done?

[piper]

I don't use a   51 android.rules, I am at work now, I will have a better look when I get home

[piper]

Do you have these modes with that phone, I am not familiar with this phone

MTP - Media Transfer Mode

MSC - Mass Storage Mode

if so, have you tried both ways ?

Doing some reading at some forums, if one don't work, try the other, problems with mtp on both linux & windows from what I have been reading.

What version of android are you running kitkat,lollipop,marshmallow ?

Might want to read/try  this
