Just got an Atrix G4.
Google hasn't been very useful at telling me how to do CLI access to the files there via USB and CLI (cli on the attached desktop machine)
Any advice?
If it's like my HTC Incredible, plug a USB cable into the computer and the cellphone. A menu will appear on the cellphone. Select mount as a disk drive. Do whatever is needed to mount a USB drive on your computer. Then change directory (cd) to where ever it is mounted and copy to your heart's content.
Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, it does not do that. It says it is connecting for Phone Portal. Going to the Phone Portal app, it asks me to connect by USB or by WiFi, and fails to allow/recognize the USB connection which has already been made....
The Media Share app did allow me to change the USB storage mode to "Mass Storage" - which allows me to mount the /dev/sdh which is mentioned in /var/log/messages when I plug it in over USB. Amusingly enough, while it is plugged in, one cannot use the file browser on the phone (the message is "Internal phone storage is Unmounted. Mount Internal phone storage to read files")
Can't seem to write back to that /mnt/dcim/Camera directory though...
So, half the battle won....
My computer gives me a choice of two devices to mount, the phone memory and the storage card. My cellphone also unmounts the "drive" that's mounted on the computer.
