Mount sgs3 in ubuntu 10.04 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have a huge problem, my sgs3 won't show up in ubuntu, seams like the version of ubuntu doesnt matters, neither the rom... So im using the latest rom from paranoid android 1.7.8a and mounts great in windows. i dont have access to a windows computer right now since im on a vacation. Are any one else having the same problem? and/if there is a solution please share.

I have same problem
It has to do with android file system
I tried couple of solutions available around but none helped so used windows
If any one knows how to connect it will be helpful

I too have this issue, so I use FTP to transfer file back and forwards. Filezilla on my unbuntu netbook and rapfox on the phone.
hth.

Thank you!

thanks. I was finally able to get it to be seen (for the first time ever on my windows 7 machine) by booting to web OS and going in/out of dev mode a few times.

[Q] Connect Prime to Linux (Ubuntu) via USB

Hi everyone
Sorry if this has been asked before, to my surprise I didn't find anything:
Is there a easy way to connect the tf201 to Linux, in my case Ubuntu?
Thank you for your help!
I'm sort of wondering the same thing. For that mater can you boot anything from usb? ( other linux distro's etc) or a win xp live.

This might help: https://sites.google.com/site/insta...g-ubuntu/connect-android-3-0-and-up-to-ubuntu - this used the Galaxy Nexus as an example, but it should be the same for the Prime.
The issue is that these devices use MTP rather than simply exporting the filesystem. There are various reasons why google decided to use MTP rather than simply USB Mass Storage, which you can google if interested. The end result for us Linux users is it is a pain
The above does work though. I used the more complex to set up option 2, but it is not that complex.
Hope this helps.

I'm no expert, but your OS might be important information. What are you running and was the phone interfacing with the laptop before you started?
Major driver issues?

It's beyond me, I've seen and had plenty of issues trying to get ADB working with Android and windows, once I had to install Linux to get things to behave correctly. But a straight up crash like that is out of my league...You could try everything from scratch with a Linux distro?
I have slicked my computer running windows 7 while trying to get ADB working, to try and resolve issues that I probably created blindly poking around. They're some drastic ideas, but I'm pretty sure the issue is with your OS and not with the phone.
Have you tried all usb ports? Different cable?
Check the Windows event viewer for errors in the system or application logs, or maybe try a selective startup in Windows.

Unable to connect phone to computer (Windows XP) to transfer files

Hey all. Just a second ago I had a whole nice post typed up about this, but something happened on my computer and I lost it. So here's the deal. I can't get my computer to recognize my phone and allow me to access it as a drive. I tried to manually install the drivers but that wouldn't work, it said that the Windows MTP driver wasn't installed then it asked me to install Windows Media Format 11 runtime, which I did, and that didn't help, so I installed Windows MTP, and that didn't fix it either. Before you ask, I have my phone in MTP mode. Please help. I love this phone and just want to be able to use it to it's potential. Thank you.
Edit: Also I should mention it's a Verizon LG V10 VS990. Let me know if you need any more info, I would greatly appreciate some help.
I never use MTP. For way more control, Explorer from Speed Software can connect to any Windows (SMB) share on your home network.
Here this might help

Thanks man, but this didn't work either I'm still getting nothing popping up besides a few messages that say nothing important, but do give away the fact that my computer is old and becoming senile.

Thank you, I can give this a try when I go home for a temporary fix but where I'm staying at the wi-fi is trash so I don't think it will work well. It also wouldn't suit all my needs, including eventually rooting my device, so I'm going to keep trying to find a more permanent solution. I appreciate the reply.
