I'm trying to get MTP with the galaxy tab 2 7.0 working on my ubuntu installation. Such that I can access the files.
I tried to do what is described here:
I however fail at executing one of the following commands
mtp-detect | grep idVendor
mtp-detect | grep idProduct
This fails
[20:42|0] $ mtp-detect | grep idVender
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note.
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Unable to open raw device 0
[20:44|0] $ mtp-detect | grep idProduct
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note.
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Unable to open raw device 0
Now my guess was was that the idVender is the same as the VID (04e8) and the idProduct is the same as PID (6860) Now I continued to work with those values and completed the tutorial. When finished I tried
android-connect
This returned
fuse: bad mount point `/media/GalaxyTab': Transport endpoint is not connected
Does anybody have a clue what to do? Also I want to note that when I connect my GalaxyTab 2 7.0 that I still get a pop-up of ubuntu that a device was connected. I also can still see the mapstructure, the problem however is is that all the folders have 0 bytes and do not have any subfolders. I can only see the folders in the root.
ps. I also checked a similar question and tried what is described in this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/88630/27480

Using go-mtpfs, described in the first answer, http://linuxundich.de/de/android/mit-go-mtpfs-unter-linux-auf-android-handys-via-mtp-zugreifen/, I got the following for my Samsung Galaxy SII
[23:21|0] $ go-mtpfs android
2012/09/18 23:21:58 compiled against libmtp 1.1.3
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6865) is UNKNOWN.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team
2012/09/18 23:21:58 device unknown: unknown (04e8:6865) @ bus 1, dev 7

For the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 it didnt work either…

jmtpfs didn't work either 🙁

Update: A GVFS MTP backend is now available. The author also provides a PPA.
I have already written about go-mptfs there.
The author recently wrote another article with another alternative jmptfs. He is writing in german but I think the commands he uses should be self explanatory, or machine translation would be sufficient.
You can of course just take a look the original project sites:
May be one of those work for you.
