How to explore Android device files under FreeBSD ?

[Manish Jain]

Hi Lena/others,


I tried following your simplistic solution. But instead of a directory 
named Cameras, I get this:


LIBUSB_FUNCTION: libusb_bulk_transfer leave
your device may be locked or does not have any storage available


I do not know what that means. I have 'OEM unlocking' enabled in 
Developer Options, and 'USB debugging' enabled in Settings. So how do I 
unlock the phone ?


My phone is a Motorola phone purchased roughly 5 years back.


Thank you & Regards,
Manish Jain
