#1593 LIBMTP ERROR: couldn't parse extension samsung.com/devicestatus:0

[Michal Przybylowicz]

When I am connecting my Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) I have the following error :

$ mtp-connect 
libmtp version: 1.1.10

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
LIBMTP ERROR: couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devicestatus:0

The device is not showing up in my Thunar file manager also (probably because of the error above).

I am getting the same error with Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Using Thunar on Debian Stretch (Debian Testing as of this writing). Also unable to use jmtpfs to mount it (I imagine it uses libmtp, hence the same error).

The expecation is that number is in MAJOR.MINOR format, just MAJOR seems invalid.

The standard says "dewey decimal number", although i dont know dewey decimal format and googling did not help :/

that error is harmless however, and should not hinder operation.

I am getting the same error on my Samsung Galaxy S6 on Arch Linux x64.

libmtp version: 1.1.12

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).

I am also getting this with my galaxy note 7.
This same setup has been working perfectly with the galaxy note 5.

[Marcus Meissner]

The ERROR should only be this line, it should work fine otherwise?

I am getting the same/similar on my Samsung Galaxy 6

Running on Fedora 24 with latest from official repos

rpm -qa | grep libmtp
libmtp-examples-1.1.11-1.fc24.x86_64
libmtp-devel-1.1.11-1.fc24.x86_64
libmtp-1.1.11-1.fc24.x86_64

I don't know what to expect from the libmtp-examples (e.g. mtp-folders) but this seems wrong.
I first noticed the problem shortly after a phone update from AT&T.
My simple-mtpfs usage stopped working.
I created a simple-mtpfs issue:

https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs/issues/48

I downloaded the simple-mtpfs code and stepped through it until

https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs/blob/master/src/simple-mtpfs-mtp-device.cpp#L158

which returns 0 after complaining

I also have this problem, but only with Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F). On the same machine, using the same USB cable plugged to the same port I cannot mount S7 via simple-mtpfs, whereas completly the same procedure works with old S4.
Only plugging the S7 (without any command) gives the following error:

gvfsd[1813]: PTP: reading event an error 0x02ff occurredDevice 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
gvfsd[1813]: LIBMTP ERROR: couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devicestatus:0

My configuration:

Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F), Android 6.0.1, kernel 3.18.14-8888212

# uname -r
4.7.9-200.fc24.x86_64

By the way, apart from this porblem while mounting phone to folder, I can easily access its data via file browser, because it's visible in Nautilius.

I get this with my Samsung S7 Edge.

[Marcus Meissner]

is the mtp access enabled on the S7? (did you confirm the dialog that pops up on the device)?

i rewrote the logic a bit for next release 1.1.13, it will not display this useless error.

[Anonymous]

The message has indeed disappeared, but I'm still getting Input/output errors after attempting to mount with jmtpfs (which uses libmtp @ 0e78a1e

[Anonymous]

any solution? same error and YES I did click 'Allow' on pop up phone message (S7)

[Anonymous]

Marcus, do you have a forecast release data for 1.1.13?

[Anonymous]

Maybe you didnt add your regular user to the uucp group? My system arch linux, libmtp version 1.1.12
then try: # mtp-detect
