510 rooted / CWM / StockROM / not visible via USB under Linux

Hi all,
the Acer 510 contains the Stockrom, which is rooted and CWM is installed. If I connect the the Tablet via USB with W7, I can see the internal and external SD-Card. If I connect the same tablet under Linux (Suse 11.4), the tablet / filesystem is unknow and could not be mounted
Normaly I see every Android Device under Linux and can mount this one without any problems , so that I 've an access to the SD-Cards.
Does someone has seen the same issue and hopefully has a solution for this one?

Since ICS the protocol used is MTP and linux is not familiar whith it
take a look at this article, it will help you even if it's written fo ubuntu

Tablet doesn't use Mass Storage mode but MTP which you have to setup on your Linux machine.
Ubuntu tutorial (required packages should also work on other distros)
Alternative (I've never heard about this before TBH)

THX !
I'll try it on evening and let you know

Before you proceed in futher steps, did you try connecting the tablet to the Linux machine with USB debugging off? (Win XP for example, cannot use the A510 as MTP if usb debugging is on.)

Even if you get it to work, don't expect somethign good. The Support for MTP is really bad in most Linux distros. probably because MTP is a Microsoft thing. I got it to work once and all i could do was copy small files in already existing folders. Creating folders or copying large files always resulted in a force unmount.

I agree with you that why I only use FTPserver instead now

Simplest alternative to MTP- QtADB, I know it wasn't updated for over a year but worked for me (various 2.1-4.0 firmwares and hardware)

You're most likely talking about MTP mode on your Note 2
Ubuntu by default doesn't really like MTP mode, along with pretty much every Linux distribution unfortunately. Luckily however there are some guides on how to get MTP working under Linux.
This guide should pretty much cover the entire process, but change one-x to note2 for the commands.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055563
Also, when adding the line to the android.rules, add this line instead of the one in the guide:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
You should be good to go then

What version of Ubuntu are you using? 13.04 has pretty good MTP support. MTP is used in most Andrioid devices as the protocle to allow file transfer over USB, the reason it is used is it allows Android to still have access to the storage. Older method involved mounting the storage over usb which meant android could not use it while you where copying files

Today I present to you a fix for fastboot on Windows 8.1 x64 on Intel and AMD machines with USB 3.0. This will NOT work on USB 2.0. This should work if you follow instructions exactly. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong and/or breaks. The Intel fix is NOT mine I'm just posting it here for convenience (Original Intel tutorial here)
All credits for the Intel solution go to the people here
Please hit the thanks button if it helped​

Went nuclear and am installing Ubuntu as we speak... But as soon as it's done I'm going back to try this... I simply used whatever decompressor is in win explorer, even though I have both 7zip and winrar..... (Forehead smack) :silly:

i uploaded folder to mega so here you go: https://mega.co.nz/#F!C0gQSQCC!VixiF0rMM71qXVzXeWS5KA

i truly appreciate you taking the time to do that for me.. truly!
however, since going to dualboot linux ive solved all those problems... have new ones now though
No radio, no firmware it seems... have a rom that boots but no way to connect..
Achieved S-OFF trying to fix it but no... nothing works... should i be using a sense rom?
thanks again!

you shouldnt need a sense rom, why dont you download amd fix.zip in ubuntu, extract it and move the files to your windows partition and then try to fix your usb then try running an ruu
try to fix adb on linux try this
1. Open terminal
2. type this: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and hit enter
3. considering your phone is htc type in the following on the text editor window: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
4. save the file and restart your computer
or if this didnt work try this: http://androidonlinux.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/setting-up-adb-on-linux/

Morning gents,
Got my ONE yesterday and obviously trying to unlock when I hit this roadblock. I tried the intel fix above earlier this morning and last night. I was able to get the intel drivers to take, but lost all of my usb ports in the process and had to roll back. As soon as I accept the first intel driver for the eXtensible controller, all peripherals are dead. Am I missing the obvious here??
I've spent more time trying to get my old pc (with Win 7) up and going than trying to fight 8.1 into submission. Naturally the HDD on that unit is dead now. CURSES!
What is the forecast for a solution on this? Is it a windows update or just waiting for an HTC driver update?
Thanks for any guidance.

thanks a ton worked wonders :laugh:

Microsoft knows about this, but doesn't seem willing to provide a general fix. Ultimately the problem is that Microsoft added an extra validation to device registration that HTC devices don't seem to honor. They're releasing an update to fix particular devices, but we don't yet know if end users will be able to edit the white list.

I have windows 8 32 bit. I would like to know if i will have problem when i will update windows to 8.1 32 bit. My computer have only usb2.0 ports
The problem exist only with usb3.0 port or i wil have it also with 2.0?
thanks

The problem exists with USB 2.0 ports as well. The reason that the "fix" posted works for USB 3.0 ports is because it uses Intel's USB 3.0 drivers for Windows 8 to work around the problem. There's also "fixes" floating around that involve rolling back to Microsoft's Windows 8 USB drivers to make it work.
If you don't have another PC that you can use to do things in fastboot, stick with Windows 8 until a proper fix is available.

Thanks... Finally I can Fastboot on Win 8.1... :good:

I can't install the driver update...getting an error that states "The system cannot find the file specified".

are you sure you read the note at the start and followed the instructions EXACTLY

The only thing I did any differently was to download the files before the reboot. I can't imagine that makes a difference but please correct me if I'm wrong. I validated all aspects of the initial note, still no luck. Again, I'm trying the AMD fix.

Same problem here

problem in installing ubuntu dekstop 14.0.4

i recently downloaded the ubuntu dekstop 14.0.4 LTS (32 bit) and everything was going well .......i burnt the iso file into a cd n even the ubuntu was working fine through the cd but after i installed it ....it said installation completed and the system need to restart and after pressing restart button ..it tells me to remove the cd and hit enter and i did it but after restart it says >>> " busy box v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
does anyone have the solution to this ???? i've searched on google but no success!!!

Easiest way to solve it is probably just to do a reinstall. You did try that, right?

Strange, maybe 14.04 isn't compatible with your hardware somehow. Try 12.04 LTS

[rk2928] Miracast/DLNA HDMI dongle mod

Hello, I have one of those cheap Miracast/DLNA dongles which is based on RK2928-G chip. The problem is that the AirPlay does not work reliably enough so I would like to experiment with the device/rom, thus I started this thread.
I have managed to explore the device with adb shell (by short-circuiting one chip before power-on) and also tried to flash (with RkFlashKit) it once with some other ROM, which semi-bricked it, but was able to flash the original back and it works again, so at least I'm on the safe side when experimenting custom roms.
Has anyone had any experiments with this device? It currently has Android 4.1.1 and the AirPlay functionality is provided by shairport. I have managed to test shairport with my Linux Mint and there it works flawlessly, so it should be possible to get it work with this device.
I'm familiar with Linux and kernel building and also have built custom stuff for my rooted Samsung TV, but Android is a totally new playground for me. Does it mean that the device is rooted if I gain adb access to it, or is there more to it?
