[SOLVED] Unable to access microSD in dumbphone

Back in Ubuntu 12.04 I used to access the microSD in my AMGOO am85 dumb phone through a USB cable.

I can't do that now.

After plugging it, the device does not appear in the list when using the command `fdisk -l`.

`dmesg` shows this:

[  135.406768] usb 5-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd
[  135.758611] usb-storage 5-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[  135.758890] scsi host4: usb-storage 5-1:1.0
[  135.759412] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
[  135.830704] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas

Relevant line of `lsusb`:

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0e8d:0002 MediaTek Inc.

Post the output of

pacman -Qs ^linux | grep linux
uname -a

Maybe there's a setting you have to activate to make it visible (there is one on my dumphone).

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to access microSD in dumbphone

`pacman -Qs ^linux | grep linux`:

local/linux 3.17.1-1 (base)
local/linux-api-headers 3.16.2-1
local/linux-firmware 20141009.0e5f637-1

`uname -a`:

Linux machin 3.17.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 15 15:36:07 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux

Yes, there's a setting in my dumb phone, I forgot to say it. It says 'Mass Storage' or something like that, I select that option and it's supposed to do its work, but it doesn't, in Arch.
