Connecting Centos 7 to Android phone - android-6.0-marshmallow

Question

I'm trying to connect a Centos 7 operating system to a Moto3G Android phone (running Android v6 - marshmallow)
libmtp is installed
Package libmtp-1.1.6-5.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Most of the searches on the Internet suggest using mtp-detect but in my case:
bash: mtp-detect: command not found
I can see the phone using dmesg
[ 6446.771306] usb 1-1.2: Product: XT1039
[ 6446.771309] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: motorola
I installed jmtpfs (using yum) which gives me the following
jmtpfs
No mtp devices found.
I tried installing go-mtpfs using GO but get the following
$ ./gopath/bin/go-mtpfs bob &
[1] 21633
$ 2017/05/03 13:06:18 detect failed: no MTP devices found
[1]+ Exit 1 ./gopath/bin/go-mtpfs bob
If anyone has any advice or suggestions on progressing this I'd be grateful.

Answer 1

Access Android MTP or Other MTP devices in CentOS 7 Linux OS
Install mtp libs and utilities in CentOS
Login as root and install fuse, jmtpfs, libmtp as following:
$yum install fuse, jmtpfs, libmtp
Steps to Mount/Load MTP formatted devices(e.g android 7 nougat)
Login as root Create a directory to mount MTP device:
$mkdir /media/mtp-device
Connect android device to the USB cable, Unlock the android phone, Swipe down from the top of the phone screen. You
should see a notification "USB ...", Tap that notification. You should
see a menu titled "Use USB to...", select "Transfer files(MTP)" Option...
To list all the available mtp devices(eg.
android 7 nougat), issue command jmtpfs in root session
$jmtpfs -l
each mtp device is listed with busnum, devnum information. Mount
device as below:
$jmtpfs -device=<busnum>,<devnum> /media/mtp-device #If this option not specified, then the first device found isused.
or
$jmtpfs /media/mtp-device #All files will be present in /media/mtp-device location,but it will be accessible to the root only.
2. Access/Copy Data from MTP device
Now you can access files of android devices mounted on
/media/mtp-device folder, but you cannot copy to other folder. To copy
files, you need to allow other user as below:
$jmtpfs -o allow_other ~/my-android7
Now you can copy the data from ~/my-android7 location to your folders.
3. Removing or Un-mounting the Device from Linux System
First un-mount the allow_other location
$fusermount -u ~/my-android7
Finally un-mount the device at root folder.
$fusermount -u /media/mtp-device
