How do you connect a OnePlus Two Device to Ubuntu through MTP?

After much tinkering, I found the solution -

You need the latest mtp drivers for OP2 -

$ sudo apt-get install libmtp-dev mtpfs

Now edit the following file -

$ sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

adding this line

ATTR{idVendor}=="2a70", ATTR{idProduct}=="f003", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1", TAG+="uaccess"

(The vendor id and product id can be got by using the "sudo mtp-detect" command)

now restart the service

sudo service udev restart

Your OP2 should be able to transfer files to your ubuntu PC now!

P.S - You will need to change the {idProduct} to whatever is specified by mtp-detect if you are not on the stock ROM/Kernel!


After install android adb, I can open OnePlus 3 folder on Ubuntu 16.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adb

I made the following changes and One Plus two starts showing up in my adb devices list:

  1. Go to your home directory and using any editor open the adb_usb.ini file. it is present under .android folder I used vim editor:

    vim .android/adb_usb.ini

  2. Add 0x2A70 text without any trailing spacees to the file as below:

**

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE. 
0x2A70

**

  1. Stop and start the server:

    adb kill-server

    adb start-server

  2. Now check, device should show up: adb devices


OnePlus X connected to Ubuntu 15.04 via USB

Alex Joseph's answer above worked for me BUT I had to also install mtp-tools in order to have the mtp-detect command (otherwise I only got "command not found").

$ sudo apt-get install mtp-tools

After that I could see my OnePlus X, verify the vendor id and product id, and follow the rest of the steps. My Ubuntu system now sees both internal storage and SD card.
