MTP - How to transfer files between Android and PC
probiermas - about 2 months ago -
Hello everyone,
I use an x60 Thinkpad with i686 system. Recently I tried to connect my phone to the PC and transfer files. I tried out several mtp programs (mtpfs, jmtpfs, gmtp) but I still get something like the following output in terminal:
jmtpfs ~/mtp
Device 0 (VID=3360 and PID=2008) is UNKNOWN in libmtp v1.1.21.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags
fuse: bad mount point `/root/mtp': No such file or directory
I edited the 69-libmtp.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d like this:
ATTR{idVendor}=="3360", ATTR{idProduct}==2008, GOTO="libmtp_rules_end"
Do I also have to edit the 51-android.rules?
Or do I really have to contact the libmtp development team to solve this issue?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, you can use android-file-transfer https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Media_Transfer_Protocol . you need adbusers ( groups)

Hi Sam, thank you for the hint. I also tried android-file-transfer and added my user to adbusers-group, but unfortunately I couldn't solve the problem from then on.
In the meantime bill-auger could help me with a workaround for problems with gmtp:
pacman -U https://repo.parabola.nu/pool/archlinux32/gmtp-1.3.11-3.1-i686.pkg.tar.zst
So luckily I was able in the end to access my cell phone via gmtp.
