I just want to access the files on my Verizon LG G3 phone from my Linux PC.
I have adb
installed and I followed this ArchLinux tutorial but adb devices
outputs the following:
[grease-lightning]/home/lucas$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
I also followed this xda-developers tutorial but the MTP tool does not seem to detect my device properly.
I have usb debug on, and MTP mode on, (via Settings > Storage > usb/pc connection > "MTP" (default was PTP)
on my Android phone).
I also tried running the commands mtp-detect
with this output and mtp-connect
with this output, but I cannot seem to access the file system. Most notably, it seems that the vender and product id are not detected, as quoted here from the mtp-detect
output:
Device 0 (VID=1004 and PID=627f) is UNKNOWN.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team
Found 1 device(s):
1004:627f @ bus 3, dev 25
As instructed in the xda
tutorial, here are the contents of my udev file:
[my-pc]/home/lucas$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="1004",ATTR{Product}=="627f",MODE="0666"
and here is the lsusb
info for clarification:
[grease-lightning]/home/lucas$ lsusb | grep LG
Bus 003 Device 039: ID 1004:627f LG Electronics, Inc.
So, after trying these tutorials using the mtp and adb approaches, how can I connect to the files/media on my Android phone? Any suggestions?
I am using ArchLinux if that matters, and I would prefer a simple CLI approach to accessing the files on my phone.
