[HOWTO] Samsung s3 Galaxy phone MTP file access
Posted: 02 Nov 2013, 08:12
If you want to connect your Samsung s3 to Porteus I found the easiest way to do this is with gMTP. It allows you to access files on devices using mtp such as android and cyanogenmod.
You will need these packages:
gMTP-1.3.4-i386-x86_64-1_KSS.xzm
libmtp-1.1.5-x86_64-1_KSS.xzm
mtpfs-1.1-x86_64-1_KSS.xzm
scons-2.1.0-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm
libid3tag0-0.15.1b-x86_64-1.xzm
You will also need to add a udev rule:
Create a file called 51-android.rules in folder /lib/udev/rules.d/
With a text editor paste the following:
# adb protocol on Galaxy S3
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="685c", MODE="0666"
Now reboot your computer, connect device and open gMTP. You should be able to access your phone
If it doesn't work or you have a different device (I'm using Samsung s3 with cyanogenmod) you probably have different ID's than mine so run 'lsusb’ from terminal to get a result like:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 04e8:685c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
04e8 = Your Vendor ID (idVendor)
685c = Your Device ID (idProduct)
If your figures are different than these, just paste them into the appropriate places in '51-android.rules' and it should work.
Enjoy.
