  • Mount Android phone on OS108 (NetBSD 9.0)

Hello, UnitedBSD People

I would like a help from you in the OS108 system (NetBSD 9.0). Referring to mounting the device on it. Below is the data:

Cell Phone: Samsung Galaxy J6

Android version: 9

On Fedora Linux I used the MPT driver, and it worked correctly. And to further complicate these devices and new versions of these phones has new "features" that actually complicate your connection to the computer.

When I connect my phone to the computer's USB port, android gives me the following options:

1) Transfer files
2) USB anchoring
3) MIDI
4) Transfer files
5) Just charge the phone

And for each option the system delivers a form of connection, being them.

1) ucom0 at umodem0
2) urndis0: Ethernet
3) midi1 at umidi0: <0> 0 on umidi0
4) ugen0: SAMSUNG (0x4e8)
5) ucom0 to umodem0

But the options I use are 1 and 4.

How do I set up these options?

Attached are the prints

I am grateful for any assistance.

Thank you

    wlfaws May I suggest you ask this in the mailing-lists? netbsd-users is probably your best bet.

    I've tried to get it working this morning but, without success 🙁
    Installed smartmontools, libmtp and built and installed android-tools-adb from the wip-repo but,

    $ adb devices 
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

    As you can see the devices list is empty 🙁
    So I thought, maybe through wifi. Again, it fails 🙁

    $ adb tcpip 5555 
error: device not found
$ adb connect 1xx.1xx.x.x
unable to connect to 1xx.1xx.x.x:5555

    🙁

      Use syncthing. It's by far the easiest way to get files on and off an android device.

      If you simply must use adb, py-adb works...

        pin syncthing is peer-to-peer, not a cloud service.

        You run the daemon on your NetBSD laptop, then start syncthing on your phone. The phone will appear on the daemon's web interface, and then you can select a directory to share.

            nia i use ftp to transfer 😛

              Hello everyone

              To make it easier I decided to look for another FTP server to use on my cell phone. Because before I used one that was not very good. Thank you all so much for your help.
