I've tried everything and read most of the articles available but when I type

mtp-connect
mtp-folders

in terminal it lists all the folders in the phone so the cable and slots are working properly but something is broken after the update. Some articles mentioned using

adb devices

But that didn't work either as after the daemon is started it didn't list any devices.

I also tried installing gvfs-backends as mentioned in another article:

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends

But it gives this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gvfs-backends : Depends: libsmbclient (>= 2:4.10.0+dfsg) but 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.17 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Also the HDD and the mouse are working fine just the mobile phone is facing problems.

What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

  • What brand phone? I just did iPhone with Kubuntu. https://askubuntu.com/questions/909988/i-connect-my-iphone-5-ios-10-3-1-but-my-ubuntu-16-04-doesnt-seem-to-detect-it/910094#910094 – oldfred Aug 11 '20 at 03:41
  • I used Mi A1 but the phone and the cable is working properly as I tried it on windows and other PC as well the HDD also connects well just the cell phone. – Neeraj Aug 11 '20 at 06:47
  • Did you ever manage to fix this? I have the same thing, `adb` recognises the device and can interact with it fine so the device and cable are fine, but the file manager (nautilus) etc can't see it. Ubuntu 20.04 and phone running Android 9 – user56reinstatemonica8 Jan 15 '21 at 16:40
