There are lots of posts on the web about how to make various phones work by setting up udev and either mtpfs or go-mtpfs but none of those worked on my Sony Xperia Z3 and Arch Linux workstation. It turns out that go-mtpfs (and, presumably, mtpfs) use 64-bit extensions to the MTP protocol by default that are not supported by the Z3.
mkdir ~/phone
$GOPATH/bin/go-mtpfs -android=false ~/phone
If you don't want to mess with the udev rules, you can manually set the permissions on the USB device while messing around.
# danger! This works on my machines. Might be bad for yours. But probably not.
sudo chown $USER /dev/bus/usb/*/*
I also noticed that the udev rules on most sites are changing the USB device
file to mode 0666. Awful idea even on a personal machine. Just set the group
to a group your user in (type groups on the shell to see).
ACTION=="add" SYBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="01bf", GROUP="storage", MODE="0660"
