[Q] Problem transfering files using linux - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On last two phones I had, ( ZTE Blade, HTC Desire HD) they both used UMS which worked fine. Now with Android using MTP, I yet to find something that works.
gMTP produces the following error
Code:
Detect: Unable to open raw device?
and using mtps, all the directories are empty on the external media.
Any help appreciated.

I tried gMTP again after a reboot and the internal and sdcard was detected and I can transfer files both ways.
I am not surre why mtps is not working....

[Q] Managing MTP devices

I haven't been able to properly manage my Android phone ever since the move to MTP. I am currently out of space on my SGS3 and can't figure out what is eating up the space. On a normal directory in Windows I would use a utility like WinDirStat, but to my knowledge you can't use any such utilities on an MTP device.
How can I tell where the space is being used?
Is it possible to add an SD card to the "MTP pool"?
Thanks guy,
Tynen
I know it's an old thread, but I have this exact same problem so I'm bumping to see if anybody has any answer
You can do this using a file explorer app directly on the device. There are hidden folders (starts with a dot) which don't show up with MTP (I think they don't, not sure). These might be taking space. You can view them with a file explorer app. Also, if you have a custom recovery, you can mount the SD card as USB Mass Storage on your computer.

[Q] Incapable of transferring files onto the device.

Since yesterday, every attempt at transferring files onto the Galaxy S III results in the message "Cannot copy item (The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.)" Copying or moving files from the device onto the laptop works, the device itself is detected and visible despite the alert message. What would you suggest?
Are you on windows or linux ? linux MTP support has been buggy until very recently.
If this is not the problem, you can also try connecting with UMS (USB mass storage): see this thread.

HTC Sync drive and internal SDCARD access in Linux

Hello all,
So I just got this phone of the weekend and I'm loving every single bit of it. Now when I wanted to transfer to contents of my Old 32GB sdcard to the internal sdcard slot in the phone I connected it to my Linux box and it tried loading 2 drives, one did and one failed. I wasn't able to access the internal memory. Now as soon as I connected it to a Windows 7 box it loading a virtual "CDROM" which HTC Sync install and the internal memory of the phone (32GB) and I was able to copy everything then.
Windows isn't my OS of choice, is there a way to get this up and running in Linux? anyone has had any progress?
Thank you.

[Q] SD Card Problems

Hi all.
Here's the situation:
I have a 32 gb Sandisk (unsure of the class) sd card I've used with 2 different phones for at least over a year now. I took the card out of my phone to connect it through my laptops built in card reader for the purpose of transferring large files (card reader speeds are much faster than usb mounting through the phone for me). When I put it in the computer Windows wouldn't recognize it. Now it won't mount in my phone at all, and it won't work correctly on my PC. When I connect it to my computer it says the card needs to be formatted before use, but then when I go to format it, it shows up on the Windows formatting screen as only having a 30.6 mb capacity and I get the message "Windows was unable to complete the format" whenever I try to format it, no matter the settings.
So my question is, how do I get the darn thing to work again? I think something must have happened between shutting my phone down to remove it and putting it in my computer. I just don't know what. Anyone else ever experience this? (I've already given up on recovering all of my files, but if it's possible to save them that would be amazing )
Things I've tried:
formatting via Windows
formatting via android
formatting /external_sd via Clockworkmod recovery
a couple different data recovery/partitioning programs (Partition Wizard and PhotoRec/TestDisk
also using "chkdsk" in windows command prompt returns saying that the disk is in the "RAW" format.
Additional info:
Phone: Motorola Droid RAZR HD (XT926) (Verizon)
ROM: XenonHD 11.01 (Android version 4.2.2, AOSP based)
Sorry if this is more lengthy than necessary, just trying to be thorough and cover all the bases!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Problem with internal memory LeMax x820

Hey,
something strange happened to the memory of my LeMax 2 4/32. The fact that I'm a little pre-match with custom rooms, but recently I can not copy anything on and from the phone. Even with the file manager there is a problem to delete unnecessary folders. Sometimes, the text does not have permission. The telephone is rooted and generally works without a problem. I wonder if I format the memory, but I remember once reformatted and had a problem with loading another room. Can you advise or describe a short guide on how to upload the room after formatting the internal memory.
Regards

Hi, do you experience this while using MTP or using the file manager on the phone. How old is your phone? Maybe it's already too old and the internal manager locked itself ?
Both, when conected as MTP and file manager. Phone is 1,5 year old. When I connect as MTP to PC (Windows 10 64 bit) it load folders and file very long, sometimes I had to restart PC. Drivers ok.
Maybe some advice on how to upload a new room after formatting the internal memory, pls?

Heyyo, does your driver show as standard USB MTP Device? If not then I'd recommend changing to that. Windows 10 on my le max 2 didn't use that driver and caused MTP to fail until I changed it.

As for copying? If MTP still won't work use the command prompt with this command...
Adb push NameOfFile.zip /sdcard
Which will push the file to your data storage root. Repeat with gapps and so fourth

Thx,
1. MTP drivers installed - ok,
2. LeMax Recognized by PC,
2. Commands "adb push" does not work,
3. Command "fastboot flash recovery" - works.
I have not formatted internal memory yet. Still problem to delete one folder using manager files.
