try installing mtpfs
sudo apt-get install mtpfs
and install mtp-tools
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools
if you have installed mtpfs and your device is still not recognized ( enable mtp mode on your device ) run mtp-detect
the output should look like this :
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=1234 and PID=5678) is ...
followed by specific phone information
the udev editing can be done like :
open /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules with root. if this file does not exist yet copy it from /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules
in this file you add the following line ( with adapted vid, pid, ... )
ATTR{idVendor}=="1234", ATTR{idProduct}=="5678", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="disk", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
and reload udev
This might be a simpler fix, it's what worked for me:
sudo apt install mtp-tools
Now plug in your Android phone via USB, cable matters so if one doesn't work try another.
mtp-detect
Done. Open up your Files app or terminal and transfer away!
For anyone coming here for Ubuntu 18.04 like me, other answers didn't work. What did:
- Turn off USB debugging.
- Use USB to transfer files
Also, after doing this, android studio had some trouble recognizing the device even after switching debugging back on. Switching USB Preferences >> Use USB for "File Transfer" to "PTP" worked.
Use resetter software and reset libmtp* ,mtp* and other like jmtpf* from custom reset option (last one)
Dawnlode from Here https://github.com/gaining/Resetter
