Hi, well this is the first step in the journey of root the Coby Kyros MID1045 tablet, so I was reading how to mount it in Ubuntu and many webpages mentioned that most of android devices use the MTP filesystem, so I needed to install it, here it is the lines:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mtpfs mtp-tools
then you need to create a directory under /media and type this line in terminal:
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/AndroidDeviceDirectoryYouWant
then, in theory you just need to plug your USB cable to your laptop or PC, and then type this:
mtp-detect
But, oopss!!!, I got this:
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
So, what happened??? I checked the screen in my tablet and I saw an icon like Android+USB, I tapped it and I found that this tablet in particular still use the USB storage as the method to connect to any PC, weird? why? yeah, it is, and I think the weirdest part that I have to say is just before install mtpfs I did not get this icon. Anyway, once I tapped it I can mount it and read the content from ubuntu.
If you have any other android device you should use the method of mtp to connect it to your ubuntu box.
I really newbie in this Android Field, if you have feedback of any kind, feel free to post it/comment/reply this; in fact I read about this tablet and it's weird, in fact it is not Google Play Ready, so I'll go for unlock this
Bye
