How to mount my phone?

vanjo9800 · 2014-02-20 17:26:23

I want to mount my Samsung Galaxy S III with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
I tried with mtp-detect and mtp-connect they give me one mistake

Unable to read MTPZ public exponent from ~/.mtpz-data, MTPZ disabled

I tried with mtpfs. I read everything in the ArchWiki. However, nothing happened.

Help me please?

Thank you in advance..

jmtpfs works for me.

vanjo9800 · 2014-02-20 19:21:59

Which packages I need for this program?
After I installed everything said in the ArchWiki, it returns me nothing.

You could also give simple-mtpfs a try. It worked for me without a flaw where other packages failed.

vanjo9800 · 2014-02-20 20:06:15

What does the issue

Unable to read MTPZ public exponent from ~/.mtpz-data, MTPZ disabled

mean?

I don't know, to be honest. I've always ignored that message.

I've got a tab SM-T210R here and:

sudo mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6

Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
   Found 1 device(s):
   Samsung: Galaxy models (MTP) (04e8:6860) @ bus 1, dev 10

It works fine. I can transfer to and from. Examples,

Transfer to:

sudo mtp-sendfile file.mp3 Music

That's send file.mp3 to Music folder on the device.

From:

sudo mtp-files > mtp.txt

mtp.txt will have accessable files on the device with their FILE ID: number.

sudo mtp-getfile 24 file.jpg

Will get FILE ID:24 and copy it to desktop as file.jpg

You could also do something like

sudo mtp-files | grep .jpg
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
   Filename: 1024X600_01.jpg
   Filename: 1024X600_02.jpg
   Filename: 1024x600_03.jpg
   Filename: 1024x600_04.jpg
   Filename: 1024x600_05.jpg

You get the idea.

I suspect the answer lies within your phone itself. Is mtp enabled?
I mount to my homefolder, which is easy on permissions.

jmtpfs -o allow_other ~/huawei/ >>

If the goal of mounting your phone is to simply transfer files over to it (or from it), I would recommend just getting an android file manager that supports ftp, sftp, or samba and then just setting that up on your computer. Personally I use sftp simply because all my machines have ssh enabled on them.

I've an old Android. When did this become so difficult? Can modern Androids not support USB mass storage?
Do adb and the associated host side tools help? Is USB debugging an option for you?

swanson · 2014-02-21 05:07:30

Try gmtp. Works with our Samsungs.

WonderWoofy · 2014-02-21 05:29:08

@ewaller, adb still works well and is quite fast. But USB mass storage is not present on most android phones now and the only way to connect via USB is with the MTP protocol. MTP sucks on windows and on Linux it is far worse.

bulletmark · 2014-02-21 05:43:55

I have stuffed around with MTP etc but file transfer to/from Android has always been a PITA. That was before I discovered the AirDroid app. Install it on your phone and prepare to be blown away. Works far better than anything else, astounding UI, and requires nothing on your PC side except your web browser.

mooshmoosh · 2014-07-14 08:06:00

Not sure if this helps, but I was following all the guides and struggled for ages to get mtp working, My mp3 player would freeze as soon as I plugged it in. I installed the package mtpfs and then it stopped freezing and I could access the device through rhythmbox.

harriseldon · 2014-09-18 17:55:39

to remove the .mtpz-data error, you can just use a tool like wget to put the file below in you your home directory.

Sory for writing - i have LG L7II and in fact i can't use MTP at all. It connects, and as soon as i try to download or upload files from and to my phone, it just pops with error and disconnect and reconnect my phone...can't do anything at all with it when i plugged it via usb. I use AirDroid and send it over wifi...it only works but speed are just horrible. I would like to speed up the process but i can't find a solution.

The connection from Airdroid to your phone is directly via your home wifi network. So if the speed is "horrible" you should fix your home network.

My wifi is ok, n type connection..but compared to 1GB lan cable...well...you know.

WonderWoofy · 2014-09-24 05:09:38

Rather than using MTP, I just use SFTP. Since I always have sshd.service running on all my machines anyway, I just found an Android file manager with an sftp plugin. It works great, and I can connect to any of my machines quite easily.

synthead · 2014-09-24 17:49:27

I installed gvfs-mtp and use thunar to mount and manage files on my phone. I click on the phone to mount it just like a volume, and all the file operations work as you'd expect it to. It's stupid simple.

You'll likely need to start your WM or DE with dbus-launch, too. Edit your ~/.xinitrc to look something like this:

exec dbus-launch startxfce4

Also, gvfs works great with thunar, and you might be interested in gvfs-photo2 (if your phone is in Camera mode instead of MTP), and gvfs-smb (on-the-fly samba mounting... just cause).

If i want to use KDE with Dolphin rather than XFCE with Thunar, so, what to do?

install kio-mtp for it to work with KDE. I don't think I needed any configuration other than just installing it

Sorry for refreshing but i think that it is still valid topic.

I found something out - problems related to

sudo mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.x.x

is related to bug in libmtp. This bug is not present in libmtp-git from aur.

Second thing - even with kio-mtp i'm not able to copy files. KDE sees my phone, i can enter memory (sd card and so on on my phone) but as soon as i choose something to copy, than i have error "kio-mtp proces stopped" and my device is being unmounted right on the spot - can'd do anything with it. What's more funny, when i reconnect my phone it is being found by the system but mpt-detect shows "no raw devices detected". MTP in linux is pain in the...

If system sees my phone, and i try to copy, than

[root@arch_desktop firekage]# lsmod | grep gvfs
[root@arch_desktop firekage]# mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.8
