Re: mount mtp device on Debian wheezy (htc desire 500 in my case)

I've been having lots of trouble with MTP and linux. I have an S4 mini and when trying to mount it using jmptfs or just now trying gMPT I have no luck. When I run gMPT from the terminal I get the following:

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT P7310/P7510/N7000/I9070/I9100/I9300 Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/S3/Nexus/Note/Y.
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
Error 2: PTP Layer error 02ff: get_handles_recursively(): could not get object handles.
Error 2: (Look this up in ptp.h for an explanation.)
Error 7: Found a bad handle, trying to ignore it.
Error 7: Found a bad handle, trying to ignore it.
Error 7: Found a bad handle, trying to ignore it.
Error 7: Found a bad handle, trying to ignore it.
Rescan: How did I get called?
Segmentation fault

Then an error message pops up in the gui saying

Failed to get storage parameters from the device - need to disconnect.

and then it just bugs out. Any ideas?

Re: mount mtp device on Debian wheezy (htc desire 500 in my case)

Hey damo, thanks for the help. The method two got me the farthest so far. I was able to see the folders on my phone in the ~/andriod-device folder, however I wasn't able to open any of the files, nor open most of the folders.
This is what I did and what happened:

$ go-mtpfs ~/android-device & 
[1] 13760
bam@crunch:~$ 2014/06/11 12:23:11 OpenSession failed: LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT; attempting reset
2014/06/11 12:23:13 FUSE mounted
2014/06/11 12:23:48 fetched "music2_hprof_data", 59756518 bytes in 2080 ms. 28.7 MB/s
2014/06/11 12:24:26 fatal error LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT; closing connection.
2014/06/11 12:24:31 GetObjectHandles failed: LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
2014/06/11 12:24:35 GetStorageInfo 20002: mtp: cannot run operation GetStorageInfo, device is not open

any clues? Thanks
