Asus Transformer Prime MTP

**rehcla** · 20-May-2012, 03:59

Hi all!

I bought a Asus Transformer Prime and I am really very happy with it!
Now I am trying to transfer files from Opensuse (Tumbleweed) to the Transformer and followed this guide:

Experiences - Asus Transformer Tablet with openSUSE - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

When I connect the Transformer, it gets recognized by the System:

Code:

usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0b05, idProduct=4d00
usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-3: Product: Transformer Prime TF201
usb 1-3: Manufacturer: asus
usb 1-3: SerialNumber: C4OKAS030795

I also created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules with this entry:

Code:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05",ATTRS{idProduct}=="4d00",MODE="0666",OWNER="rehcla" #Asus Transformer

and when I mount the Transformer via mtpfs (what I got from Packman Repo) as root:

Code:

mtpfs -o allow_other /media/transformer

I get:

Code:

Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=4d00) is a Asus TF201 Transformer Prime (keyboard dock).
Found 1 device(s):
Asus: TF201 Transformer Prime (keyboard dock) (0b05:4d00) @ bus 1, dev 3
Attempting to connect device
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags
Listing File Information on Device with name: (NULL)

An ls of the mount point (as root):

ls /media/transformer/

gives me:

Code:

Interner Speicher  Playlists

what looks promising!
But when I try to go further and ls (as root) a directory where I know there is content:

Code:

ls -a /media/transformer/Interner\ Speicher/eBooks/
.  ..

There is nothing, but there should be plenty of files!

What I do wrong or what I am missing!

Thanks in advance....

Claus

Hi
I don't have my notes available (away from home..) will look tomorrow,
but there is a change in the udev rule, was a call to libmtp from
memory. Then I could read all the files on my ASUS TF101.

I think there may be a bug here ... I note here is a recent Ubuntu bug on this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...fs/+bug/972311

Comment #12 is interesting in that bug report.

Hi
Change your rule to;

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4d00", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="0666"

Hi malcolmlewis!

I applied the new rule, but nothing changed!

Code:

vi /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
# udevadm control --reload-rules
# mkdir /media/transformer
# chmod 777 /media/transformer                                                                                                                             
# mtpfs -o allow_other /media/transformer
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=4d00) is a Asus TF201 Transformer Prime (keyboard dock).
Found 1 device(s):

i read somewhere (don't remember where) the easiest way to connect to
the Transformer from a linux machine is via wi-fi..

maybe all of that has changed... but . . .

Hi
OK, the following works for my TF101, add this udev rule as 'ROOT'
user ;

Code:

# ASUS Transformer - UDEV Rule

# For ASUS Transformer TF101
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4e0f", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="0666", GROUP="users"
RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{action} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"

You need to change your ID's as required, then as your 'USER' not
root, you can mount the device, eg;

Code:

mtpfs /home/username/tf101

Change your mount point as required.

Hi
Sure, I use sftp 99.9% of the time.....

with android 4.0.3 you can
mount either via mtp (media device) or ptp (camera) modes.

Hi
Forgot to add, for unmounting use;

Code:

fusermount -u <your_mount_point>
