Fix for phone not being detected on arch linux
I connected a IQOO 9T (with USB debugging and File Transfer enabled) to my Arch Linux computer, however, it was not being detected by lsblk
, mtp
(through the pcmanfm
integration), etc. However, it was being detected by dmesg
and lsusb
.
After some fiddling, it turned out that the problem (apparently) was that my computer hadn’t been authorised by the phone.
I ran adb shell
, causing an authorization popup in the phone. After authorizing the computer, it was able to detect the phone through lsblk
and mount it through aft-mtp-mount
etc.
sudo pacman -S android-file-transfer
aft-mtp-mount /wherever/you/like/to/mount
