Just got an Atrix G4.

Google hasn't been very useful at telling me how to do CLI access
to the files there via USB and CLI (cli on the attached desktop machine)

Any advice?


If it's like my HTC Incredible, plug a USB cable into the computer and the
cellphone. A menu will appear on the cellphone. Select mount as a disk
drive. Do whatever is needed to mount a USB drive on your computer. Then
change directory (cd) to where ever it is mounted and copy to your heart's
content.

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, it does not do that. It says it is connecting for Phone
Portal. Going to the Phone Portal app, it asks me to connect by USB
or by WiFi, and fails to allow/recognize the USB connection which has
already been made....

The Media Share app did allow me to change the USB storage mode to "Mass
Storage" - which allows me to mount the /dev/sdh which is mentioned in
/var/log/messages when I plug it in over USB. Amusingly enough, while it
is plugged in, one cannot use the file browser on the phone (the message
is "Internal phone storage is Unmounted. Mount Internal phone storage
to read files")

Can't seem to write back to that /mnt/dcim/Camera directory though...

So, half the battle won....
