File transfer on Linux - Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I am having trouble with file transfers on Linux (openSUSE 42.3). The phone is the Verizon version of HTC 10.
(To score some sympathy points, I just ordered and received this phone from ebay. It unfortunately was already "upgraded" to version 2.41.605.36, so until someone makes a hack available I am stuck with Verizon software.)
Initially when I connected the phone to the computer, the device notifier came up with "Camera" only. In this mode files cannot be uploaded to the phone.
I then edited the "libmtp.rules" file to include the vendor id and product id of the phone. After doing this the device was recognized as "Android phone". There were two options to open a file explorer---one which opened it again as "Camera" and a second which should be a file explorer in "mtp" mode, however clicking on this icon led to a error message:
HTML:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/ does not exist
.
I realize this is more of a linux-specific question, and I haven't yet tried posting it on a linux forum, but I thought I would try here first to see if anyone else had this sort of trouble with this phone on this operating system.

Yes!! camera:/USB PTP Class Camera is what you initially see when it is plugged into the USB port. (openSuSE 42.3). You click on that and you get to folders: store_528b0001 and store_00010001 along with two text files: about.txt and summary.txt. The store_528b0001 is the external SD card and store_00010001 is the internal storage.
Now then, I have had trouble finding all my photos EVEN THOUGH they are supposed to be in DCIM/100MEDIA in the internal memory. I can see the pics on the phone but not from my PC when connected. At least not all of them. Just took some 'recent' pics and I can see them from my PC. ??
As for the write... you can not copy a file from the PC to the camera with SuSE Linux -but- you can with Windows. I use VMware and have Windows 10 installed. You can use this Windows to copy a file from the PC to the Android Phone. At least I have.

Sorry to neglect this thread that I started, but actually the problem turned out to be the mtp version that came with Leap 42.3. Updating this (libmtp9) from version 1.1.13 to 1.1.14 fixed the problem. I can now access internal storage as "read/write".

[Q] Driver Problem

OK...so far so well, I put it out of the box, pushed the start button, and saw very pretty and nice pictures, but for the moment thats all! (
how the hell this thinks works?! No pc connectivity, no pc synchro, unable to browse base file system, unable to access sd card files. unable to access phone book(!?!?). After 6 clicks on the display I found where it is. And after 4-5 more I am finding the needed contact. For example on nokia, siemens, htc and samsung, this happens only with 3 clicks.
when I connect it to the pc, it just show me the new device dialog box, and after few clicks: unable to find propriate driver. No change after installing SEUS, and trying file by file from the driver dir of installation files of SEUS. After 45 minutes search with google, nothing apears.
On linux just shows Mass Storage with no media inside.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
firstly try pulling down the top box and selecting mass storage mount

Thanks for the tip
Briefly, when usb cable is connected to the pc, just drag down with a finger on the top left corner of the display, and press "Usb Connected". Then in the box press Mount.
After that on my machine was started an update of microsoft usb components: Microsoft WinUsb 1.0. And after all that the phone is ready to be found properly by the system. Just download SEUS from the sonyericsson support website, and extract the executable with 7zip. and extract ..\$[31]\drivers\SmartphoneDrivers.zip . In this archive are the drivers for X10i.
If you want to find drivers for flash, just put the device in a flash mode (pressing and holding the backarrow - the right key - while the phone is connected to pc), and then extract seehcri.zip from the same folder. There is the driver for the eeprom controler.
Solved!

[Q] Browse/Manage TPT from PC

Hi again,
I was going to transfer some files from my pc to TPT today, and realised that it's not showing up on windows explorer.
(I can see the device in the Device Management screen).
In my tablet, under "USB settings", I selected "View contents of SD card (Mount)".
I went to the Lenovo download page and didn't see anything that looks like a driver for this..
Apologies for the very noobish question, but appreciate any help!
I think you should use "transfer files (Media Transfer Protocol)" as stated in the manuals.
Now, rather than creating another thread, i'll just ask here, since it's pretty much the same topic.
I have a problem with transferring files using cable data to my TPT, My pc recognize the TPT and shows the correct drive size and remaining memory. However, when i opened it, I cannot see any folders, files, or anything. I also can't create anything at all from my pc.
Any solution/thoughts on this?
I forgot to add some things :
- I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
- I'm using TPT 0074 ROW
- My TPT is rooted
- This is a new problem, which means originally, I don't have this problem. And sadly, I don't remember when exactly this problem appeared
- Factory reset is currently the very last option for me

Trying to copy several, small files from my SD card

Hi,
I’m running into an odd problem.
I have a Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I’ve unlocked and rooted it with the Toolkit. I’m attaching it via USB on a Windows 7, 64 bit system. I’ve installed the PDANet drivers.
I’ve made a back up of my tablet using Titanium Backup. Within the Titanium Backup directory are many small files, that I’d like to copy back onto my desktop for safe keeping.
However every time I copy the directory over to my PC using Windows Explorer, only a fraction of files get copied, I’d say about 20%. I’ve tried it several times, but, can’t seem to get it to do a complete copy. I’ve tried selecting the entire directory and the all the files (select all) without success.
When you plug in the micro USB cable to your tablet, does it automatically go into mass storage mode (though I have selected Mass Storage mode as my option).
I’m coming from several Samsung devices and I know there are a few ways to enable mass storage mode on them, and at a minimum, you have to choose to mount the SD card. Is there something similar with Asus devices?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
I rarely send files via the USB port... normally just use the wifi connection. Just sent all the TI backup files via AndFTP to a server over WiFi and it only a little more than 5 minutes.
I then for the first time, hooked up the N7 to my USB to transfer the files to my notebook.
Didn't make any changes.
Created a new directory on my Notebook (Win7Pro) and then opened the drive on the N7, found the TitaniumBackup directory and selected all the file (not the directory holding them).
Took about 5 mins to move the files which was about the same as the Wifi transfer.
Not errors, and all the files got there.
Not sure if that helps you...
Oh. the N7 is rooted with TWRP recovery on it but otherwise Stock.
BTW.. this morning I tried this app which is a sync app between my workstation at home and the Droid. Worked good enough I upgraded and now have a number of manual syncs setup (droid to computer)

Hi krelvinaz,
Thanks for taking the time to test that for me. I did exactly the same procedure as you. I'll play with it some more and see if it was just a bad driver install or something. Perhaps I'll try it on my laptop at work...
And thanks very much for the link... that app does look promising indeed. I really appreciate that it doesn't sync with the cloud, but with my pc. That's great.
Thanks again for your help!
Update:
Ok, well I tried to copy the same files on my work laptop, which is running XP, and without any additional drivers, and it stopped at exactly the same place, at one particular file.
I then deleted that one backup file, and tried to copy the directly again, and it worked. I then tried again on my Windows 7, 64 bit desktop and it too was successful!
I guess that file was corrupted or something.
I'm glad I figured it out, and thanks again krelvinaz.
I got my N7 today. Just plugged in USB to my computer and copied my "backup-apps" folder and my MP3 folder from my phone. Moved very fast, now I have about 150 .apk's I can install if I have recognition problems with the Play store, and 2000 songs.... using up my "16" gb fast... about time to root and add stickmount.

Nokia 6 USB Driver

Hi. I am a Windows Phone transplant. I got my Nokia 6 from Amazon and I am connecting it up via USB to put my music collection on the SD card. When I connect, it mounts as a CD and there is a setup for what looks to be the drivers there. When I run setup, nothing happens. The computer is Win 10. When I took the phone out of the box (from Amazon US), I noticed that the Amazon preloaded app took me to the Chinese Amazon site. so I think that this version is based heavily on the Chinese ROM. Does anyone have a direct link to the USB drivers for the PC? The ones I have seen on searching all look very dubious.
It was pretty cool turning this phone into an Android powered/Microsoft Services phone.
thanks
The Amazon app is just configured for Chinese. You can select another language, just go to the link next to the flag, drop down box, find the USA flag.
For the USB connection, after you connect the phone to the PC, on the phone, swipe down from the top and you should see a notification "USB *****". The "****" could be PTP, charging, MTP, etc. You want to use MTP to transfer files to the phone.
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing. This is the drivers that I think need to be on my computer to mount the phone properly to transfer files.
Mine did the same but as the previous poster said change it to mpt on the phone then in file explorer Nokia 6 appeared and when I clicked on it both the internal and sd cards showed up and I copied my music folder directly to sd card

I have the same issue. I tried choosing the MTP, even PTP as well, from the USB options, but still no luck in seeing the internal storage of my phone. Maybe this is a Windows 10 issue? I tried connecting my phone on my windows 8.1 PC and it worked fine. Anybody has a workaround on this?
my phone always have a pop-up ask me if I want to enable file transfer when I connect to a pc, maybe check if yours have the same pop-up.

Phone does not show as drive
When I connect my Nokia 6 via USB, I get a popup asking what i want to do (charge, charge and transfer and two I can't remember at the moment). It does not show up as a (USB) drive (i.e. it is not assigned a drive letter), but among the Libraries (like Downloads, Pictures, etc.). I see the CD-ROM drive with the USB driver setup as well, but I guess you only need that when the phone does not show up right away. (Maybe on older versions of Windows?)
I can write to the phone and the SD card. I have a 64 GB Samsung class 10 card, it writes at only 12 MB/s; is that normal?
When I clicked 'Properties' on the SD Card, I saw that it was formatted as FAT32, so that explains why I can't write large (>4 GB) video files to it. Shame. Does anyone have an idea if this is ever gonna change?. I tried formatting the card to ExFat, but then the phone just says 'incompatible file system' or something like that.
Can't get access to my phone data mother internal nor external
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing happens. Pls help me guy's......
I have the same problem on Windows 8.1 x64
Nevermind, I found the solution for my device, I can't guarantee it's the same for you.
Open your settings on your phone
Go to About Phone
Repeatedly tap on Build number untill a message pops
up saying that you're a developer now.
Go back into settings and open Developer options now
Scroll down and find USB Debugging and turn it on.
That's it, you should be able to manage your files now
Finally Nokia is making Andorid based phones now. Because Android is the kind of OS people need today. With tons of application choice.
You can download the ADB driver for your Nokia in this link:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
change your cable. That's what the problem is

Samsung notes flooded my storage

I'm using my Samsung Tab 2016 P580 for taking lecture notes. I used «Samsung Notes» and now my device is out of storage and seems like I can't access the notes from my pc.
I have a 32GB storage card that can't function as an internal storage.
Do you have any idea how to solve the problem?

Have you enabled developer options? One thing I do hate about the SM T580 is how much memory it uses just to run.
You should be able to move the entire folder to the pc and then (if you're using Win10) it should be able to find whatever program needed to open the files. Whats the file extension?

I have them enabled but I don't know the default path of the app... Do you have it? Does it matter if I'm not rooted?
Let's ee if it's the PC or the tab. Did you get a Win 10 update recently? I think MSN is targeting all things Android. Find out if you're actually no getting recognized by the pc. Plug in the device.
On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager. Or you can enter Device Manager in the search bar next to start.
Check if the Tablet is listed. It should be in the USB sections at the bottom. The Win 10 Update I got in Aug, removed my ADB USB interface and mine was no longer recognizedm but it did show up in the Device Manager in the Modem section. Hopefully yours will show up where it supposed to, or not.
If it is listed, then right-click on the device and select Properties.
Check if the device is working properly.
Install/update drivers if needed.
NO, I didn't update... My device is still recognized in Windows and in Linux.
How can I use adb to backup my data from Samsung Notes?

You can try installing Samsung S Note for PC from their website. Or use this, from Microsoft Store.

I'm wondering why your PC can see and recognize the device but you can't see or move files??
