[Bug 903422] Re: Ubuntu does not work with Samsung Galaxy phones (Unable to open raw device 0)

[Derek Simkowiak]

There was recently a change to the adb tool. It now does authentication;
the user is prompted to "allow" a new computer when the phone is
connected to it. The old adb is not compatible.

This change is probably why it fails, even though MTP on the Samsung
Galaxy Nexus previously worked.

I used the new adb (with the authentication) to manually push files.
That worked fine. Trying the other forum posts (like changing the udev
rules) did not work for me.

It was very aggravating to get the cool new phone (Nexus 4) and then not
be able to transfer files to it.

Bug description:
  If your device is not supported please open a new bug specifying:
  * device in question (make / model / release)
  * output of `mtp-detect` when the device is attached
  * output of `lsusb` when the device is attached

  This bug will be a catch all for recent Samsung Nexus & Nexus 7, or
  please comment what other recent Andorid 4.x devices are affected.

  Yes there is a lag in providing support for the most recent devices.
  As soon as the fixes are available, SRUs will follow.
