How to connect Android device using MTP Ubuntu- Youtube Tutorial

Connect an Android device using MTP in Ubuntu.

You need to follow following steps because ubuntu doesn't show your mtp devices (security reasons). Open a terminal and type commands

$ sudo apt-get install libmtp-common mtp-tools libmtp-dev libmtp-runtime libmtp9 

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Remove # from in front of last line

$ sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf

connect your phone to your pc (unlocked)

$ lsusb

open new terminal and type the following command

$ sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/69-mtp.rules

copy and paste below lines and replace Device with your phone name and the addresses as shown in image below.

replace the addresses as in the image

# Device 
ATTR{idVendor}=="XXXX", ATTR{idProduct}=="YYYY", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

type the following command 

$ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Replace the addresses as shown in the image

ATTR{idVendor}=="XXXX", ATTR{idProduct}=="YYYY", MODE=”0666"
