I 've been trying to connect my new S10+ by USB to my Ubuntu (Linux) laptop to transfer some files. After connecting, ensuring MTP file transfer is the selected USB option, and allowing the connection, I cannot browse the phone's file system or transfer any files from my laptop. I also sometimes see an error that the MTP process has died.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Any solutions?

Helo all,
since two days I now own an Thinkpad Tablet and am happy so far. Only when ein plug it into my PC (Win7 64bit) via USB it is recognized but I still can't transfer files. When I open MyComputer in the Explorer on the PC I ca see the Tablet, click on it but then no files on the tablet show and I also cant transfer any. It then gives me an error: Device was disconnected or istn working properly.
Tried installin ADB Drivers form Lenovo, switching USB debugging off and on, no help.
When I plug it in on the tablet im prompted with the selection of just charging or MTP. If I choose MTP it makes the same Windows sound as if unplugged....
Any Ideas?
thanks

Here's the situation. LG G6 us997, oem unlocked but not rooted. USB debugging is enabled and File Transfer (MTP) is the selected mode.
When I connect via USB to my MacBook pro (running osx 10.12), I am able to use adb to connect to my phone (push/pull files, etc). I am also able to connect to LG Bridge to initiate wifi file transfer (i.e. it recognizes my phone via USB).
However, when I open Android File Transfer it gives me a No Device Found error. If I switch the USB mode on the phone to "charging" and open AFT, I am given an error that suggests it sees the phone but knows it's not in File Transfer mode. It tells me to switch to MTP and reconnect, but then I again get the No Device Found error.
Here's the really strange thing. I performed two experiments. First, I plugged my G6 into another Mac (a mini) that had Android File Transfer installed, and instantly the file explorer popped up, working perfectly. That suggests to me that my cable isn't bad, and that my phone settings are probably okay.
But then I plugged my friend's Samsung Galaxy S6 into MY computer, and Android File Transfer popped open as it should, working perfectly. I'm not sure what this suggests. The weird thing about THAT is that plugging that same S6 into the afformentioned Mac Mini does NOT work!
So I'm stumped. I can always push/pull files via adb, but sometimes I want the simplicity of a drag and drop GUI, you know? A little more info: I think LG Bridge and AFT (and LG pc suite which doesn't work) can conflict, so I've definitely uninstalled those applications to minimize variables, rebooting between tests. I've also rebooted my phone between changes, and locked and unlocked it, and toggled File Tansfer to Charging modes repeatedly, and plugged and unplugged the cable, tried different usb ports, and switched cables.
Any ideas?
When using the stock OOS, I can connect my phone to my computer and the file transfer works just fine. My phone shows up on my computer as normal. However, whenever I'm using a custom ROM (so far all of them have had this problem), file transfer does not work because I can't get my computer to recognize the phone. Debugging is on, and the configuration is also set for file transfer. Oddly enough I can get my computer to recognize the phone if it's in PTP mode, but it immediately dissapears when I select file transfer. I haven't had any luck finding a fix for this.
just installing google usb driver worked for me https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
I have two issues with my MetroPCS LG K20 Plus and my Windows 10 computer.
The phone has debugging mode enabled, but is not rooted.
(1) I cannot see any Android files on Windows File Explorer via USB. The device shows up, but no folders. I also do not seem able to use any Android-to/from-PC apps that communicate across the USB cable.
(2) I am struggling to find a portable way to cast my phone screens to a Windows 10 PC. I have tried Bluetooth, but the related Android Settings options appear to be missing. I can pair to the PC successfully. The PC shows the Bluetooth connection as "Connected", but the phone shows "Connecting" for a while, and is then unconnected.
Can you suggest ways to enable this functionality?
I cannot install PC software to do it because I might be in an environment where I do not have access to the WiFi network, or am unable to install software or browser extensions or drivers on the PC. I cannot use WiFi for file access for the same reason. Cloud access from a public PC is a security risk.
It seems that LG (or perhaps MetroPCS) is deliberately trying to thwart casting and USB file access, and I cannot think of why they would do that.
I also have an issue with connecting this phone through usb. Windows 10. Says device can not be reconized. May have wrong lg usb driver version not sure. Needd it to read so that i can unlock the bootloader.
I had previously connected my Asus X00TD to my laptop for transferring files. The phone doesn't connect to PC from yesterday. Only charging happens after connection, and device doesn't show up on the device manager(no change on list of devices after connection), and no notification sound of device being connected either. There is no notification in my phone as well. Here are the following workarounds I have tried, but failed:
Changing USB cable
Changing PC/laptop
Installing ADB and Qualcomm drivers and again uninstalling them(error code 10 on ADB Driver)
enabling and disabling USB debugging
changing connection mode(nothing works)
Going into safe mode
restarting and connecting multiple times
Kindly help me if possible, and your help will be kindly appreciated
I had a similar problem recently. What ended up working for me was to install some generic Android driver published by Google. I already had the ADB package installed, but without the generic Android driver published by Google, my phone could charge and transfer files, but I could not issue ADB commands through the Windows command prompt.
The package I needed was called "usb_driver_r13-windows.zip"
