Figure out its uuid:
(At least once, under whatever circumstances, if nothing helps, by mounting it on a friends machine). First, let's get the current id. (that can change again, on another time)
mount | grep ^/dev
You should somewhere should recognize its actual name here,
/dev/sda4...
/dev/sda5 on /boot ...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/frank/iPhoneWhatsoever...
/dev/sdc2 on /media/frank/my BackupDrive...
Now, say, it's sdb1. Let's figure out its truly unique uuid:
$> ll /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sdc1
Should get you a fairly long string (often hex, sometimes with dashes)
lrwxrwxrwx [...] 366A2F886A2F003A -> ../../sdc1
manual mount
directory must pre-exist, not taken care of. so generate it (only once, ever):
sudo mkdir /media/myFx
And here we go
mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/366A2F886A2F003A /media/myFX
manual unmount
sudo umount /dev/disk/by-uuid/366A2F886A2F003A
Additionally if not done yet, add it to /etc/fstab.
For that or for mount command (see man pages) you might want to use additional parameters, if there are problems with your preferred user rights, a ‘rare’ drive format etc... Just as a sketch:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0,nls=utf8 /dev/disk/by-uuid/366A2F886A2F003A /media/myFX
Check your device connectivity by running mtp-detect.
If you've got the following error:
error returned by libusb_claim_interface() = -6LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device
You need to activate MTP file transfer on your Android device. For example:
- Activate Developer Settings by tapping 7 times Build number in About phone.
- Enable File transfer in USB configuration found in Developer options.
