Wait for a release which contains the patches for these devices in libmtp or use android-file-transfer-linux.

Straight forward instructions:

Building instructions

Prerequisites

  • For ubuntu and other debian-based distros use the following command:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libqt4-dev ninja-build libfuse-dev

…

Building with ninja

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ..
ninja

Then run: ./qt/android-file-transfer

or…

Installation

sudo ninja install

Then run: android-file-transfer

  • Thanks LiveWireBT for the solution. I have not tried it yet. I will give it a try today evening after office. I will let you know if android-file-transfer-linux worked for me or not.

  • I wanted to give a try to android-file-transfer-linux. But I ended up clueless about how to install it. Can you tell me how to install it?

  • Thanks again @LiveWireBT. I will try this, this was there in the README file of the GIT repo. I was expecting a sudo apt-get install. Kind of lazy. :D

  • Tried this tool. Device did get detected, sometimes not. Works buggy. Didn't help much though.
