Public bug reported: I'm having trouble accessing photos or files on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone.
Plugging in phone and using Shotwell, then clikcing on the SMASUNG_Android camera cause a "Could not claim USB device (-53)" error, which when dismissed just displays a "Starting import please wait" message indefinitely. In an attempt to figure out what is going wrong I've been using the mtp- detect command as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1314556 So this is a log of what I've done: (running kernel is 3.19.0-20-generic) 1. Unplug and plug in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and get dmesg output: [ 25.386168] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 [ 28.245983] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [ 28.375245] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860 [ 28.375247] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 28.375249] usb 1-2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 28.375250] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 28.375251] usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 2410ba56 2. Kill any gvfs processes that might interfere with with mtp-detect msharman@laptop-msharman:~$ killall gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor msharman@laptop-msharman:~$ killall gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor 3. Make sure phone is unlocked and run mtp-detect: msharman@laptop-msharman:~$ mtp-detect Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled. libmtp version: 1.1.8 Listing raw device(s) Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).

So I tried using a newer mainline kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0-vivid/linux- image-4.0.0-040000-generic_4.0.0-040000.201504121935_amd64.deb With this kernel I get different dmesg output but the mtp-detect still fails (following the exact same procedure as above but I'm just showing the differences here) (running kernel 4.0.0) msharman@laptop-msharman:~$ mtp-detect Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled. libmtp version: 1.1.8 Listing raw device(s) Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP). Found 1 device(s): Samsung: Galaxy models (MTP) (04e8:6860) @ bus 1, dev 4 Attempting to connect device(s) PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device inep: usb_get_endpoint_status(): No such device outep: usb_get_endpoint_status(): No such device libusb_open() failed!: No such device LIBMTP PANIC: Could not init USB on second attempt Unable to open raw device 0 OK. msharman@laptop-msharman:~$ dmesg | tail [ 212.229605] usb 2-2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 212.229608] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 212.229610] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 2410ba56 [ 215.164011] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 [ 215.503911] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd [ 215.634182] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860 [ 215.634189] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 215.634193] usb 1-2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 215.634196] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 215.634198] usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 2410ba56 So upgrading to kernel 4.0 has done something it's fixed the xhci_hcd related errors but the mtp-detect is still failing (I've tried gphoto2 -L as well and got similar results). But issue still remains.
