I am trying to recover some files on my android device, but without success. So I would like to try tools like photorec, but they need a physically mounted device. Or rather, for the moment photorec makes me recover files only from /dev/sdx, so I need to mount the mtp device like this. For now I have tried this solution here: How to mount Smartphone to recover files but jmtpfs gives me an error.

I always wanted to control my Linux PC via my smartphone, and found a way to do it. It's called CRC Remote.

Title. I've done a bit of searching here but I'm quite baffled. I recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy S7, and while I'm quite excited about it, I'm having difficulty transferring files via USB.

Also How to fix USB-connection between Android 11 to Ubuntu 20.04 (to backup phone data - after not properly unmounting)? states that Android 11 is supported.

But my new Motorola G20 with Android 11 has troubles with mounting on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
