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

When I connect it to my ubuntu 14.04, I am only able to see the USB drivers for installing ADB.

There are a few solutions available for OnePlus One (See here) but I was not able to find one for OnePlus two.

Solution

  • 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!
