Long time user - different OS - zero USB connectivity.

Anmeldedatum: 15.02.2026 Beiträge: 2

Hello Folks.
I've happily used MyPhoneExplorer for some years - but after the 'death' of XP became a full time Ubuntu Mate user instead.

I found that it is possible to open & run MyPhoneExplorer via WINE - but there was zero USB pass-through.

I've searched here at the forum a bunch of times & the proposed solutions seem very complicated to my non-coder mind.

I use a desktop PC which does not have either wifi or BT.

My queries:
- Is there any simpler, more direct solution to getting MyPhoneExplorer along with full USB pass-through for Linux users ??
- Has this been updated in the very latest version ??

Just 1 added fact - I did have an account here for a long time, but despite using the correct info the PW reset failed to work for me.

Thanks for reading & any helpful replies !!

I am sorry, i have no Linux PC for testing. The first step would be to get your phone visible with the ADB console: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
If this works then we could try to initiate the connection via USB cable

Thanks for replying FJ.
USB cabled directly via Linux - any of my several devices simply connect & appear.

There is no equivalent Linux app that even comes close to the functionality of MyPhoneExplorer.

Frankly - MyPhoneExplorer is truly the ONLY app that I seriously miss since leaving XP behind.

It is only when I've tried using MyPhoneExplorer via WINE that the USB cabling does nothing.

BTW:
I always use ADB to debloat any new device that is not rooted, and it works flawlessly.

PS - unrelated:
It appears that there are no email notifications from this forum...?
