Hi friends,
i'm using one huawei md touch (vendor=0x12d1 product=0x101e);

but i'm unable to access to the mass storage, where i have my photos;

the virtual cd is visible by dmesg (sg1) but i doesn't seen the internal readable/writable memory;

Nothing to be sorry about ...

I asked because I recently discovered that the Fedora package differs significantly from my source package, which breaks some things, including in some cases the access to the storage components of the device.

See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733183

If you want you can leave your problem report there as well. As a fix, I can only recommend to use the source package from here, add the "libusb-devel" in Fedora and do a "make install" from the unpacked source folder.
