The simple removal of the device line may break other devices with the same ID.
A better approach would be to find out which ZTE phone needs the switching in any case and which doesn't. usb_modeswitch can distinguish between devices even if the ID is identical; for this purpose we have to find device-specific attributes. A run of "usb_modeswitch -v 0x19d2 -p 0x0083" with the *unswitched* device present will report the most important USB and SCSI attributes. What is the behaviour with Windows? Are there any drivers present on the device that will install automatically if the phone is plugged in? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894448 Title: Unable to access USB storage of ZTE Blade Android phone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch-data/+bug/894448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
