Macintoshes do not support MTP. All I have is a headless Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.
So I'm trying "mtp-tools". mtp-detect gives very intermittent results. Mostly it just says "No raw devices found". Very rarely it spits out a vast list of stuff. Other times it says "PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface". Rebooting the Raspberry Pi improves my odds of getting data, but it quickly peters out. Intermittently my phone asks me if I want to allow the Raspberry Pi to talk to it. I've tried this with two different ports and two different cables. And the phones are flat on the table, so it's not like the cable's wiggling or anything. If it was a bad USB *connector* I could understand. But I'm getting these intermittent results with two different phones, the other being a bog-standard landfill Android. Neither has ever had any problem charging over USB and both of them show up perfectly fine in lsusb, proving that data is connected too. So the problem must be either in silicon or in software. Which surely means someone must have really screwed up the design of something. I just don't know if it's Meizu, Ubuntu or Google who's to blame. Your other points: * I have adb 1.0.32 on the Macbook and 1.0.31 on the Raspberry Pi. Please if you suggest I might have the wrong version of adb, also tell me which version is correct. If you are successfully using adb to talk to an MX4, please tell me which version you are using. * I have already set up ~/.android/adb_usb.ini with 0x2a45 on both the Macintosh and the Raspberry Pi. I have actually successfully used adb on the Macintosh to talk to the MX4 before. But that was many months ago and I neglected to note which version of everything I was using. * I always have developer mode enabled. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
