Hi
I've been offered a windows phone (Nokia Lumia 435 running windows 8.1) and I'd like to connect it to my PC running kubuntu to transfer music files onto the phone.
I've browsed a lot a forums and none gave me an operating solution.
Here is exactly what happens.
1) my pc:
kubuntu 14.04 amd64 with kde 4.13.3 (this is the only OS on the PC)
2) when I plug the phone via USB, KDE recognizes it as a 'USB PTP Class Camera' but there's nothing I can do from here: Dolphin only detects two empty text files, digikam prompts that this type of camera is not supported, amarok does not detect any device.
3) I suppose this is because of the MTP protocol used by the phone. So, I've installed mtp-tools, gmtp and Qlix as suggested in forums. Fail again.
Here are some info that might help:
outut of lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0421:06fc Nokia Mobile Phones
output of mtp-detect :
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
gmtp and qlix also tell that there are no devices.
4) I've read a forum that suggest to hack libmtp, recompile it, change udev rules and so on, but I'm afraid this is far too complicated for me...
Thanks in advance for your help !
