I've a phone with Android and I use Ubuntu in my PC. The thing is that I can connect my phone through USB and Ubuntu can read it, I mean, I can see the files and stuff, but that's it.



I can't transfer files without broking them, can't view photos either, and all the things that I can do with Windows are gone when using Ubuntu or any Linux distro.



Maybe I'm missing drivers, the phone is Samsung.



Can anyone help me?



I've search a lot but couldn't find a solution.



Thanks.

Get mtpfs package : sudo apt-get install mtpfs



Make sure to unlock your phone when connecting to PC



Then use it as follows :




  • Create a directory to mount Android fs

  • as user type : mtpfs /path/to/mountpoint



to unmount use fusermount -u command to unmount



This is for device fs access only, if you're looking for android tools (adb and fastboot) :




  • install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot :



sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
