I normally plug the phone into a USB socket
tap file transfer on
And the contents of the phone will show in Dolphin
But not any more Now I get
"The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1
does not exist."
I believe that it used to work fine and maybe a recent update had
trashed it.
Fortunately it still works in Mageia 6. So not all is lost.
I gave up using cables for this operation a long time ago.
I use "WiFi FTP Server" on my Samsung phone and Filezilla on Mageia 8.
Also need "gmtp" and "mtpfs" on Mageia 8, both in the repositories.
I also installed "android-file-transfer" on Mageia 8.
Not sure if all 3 are needed but I installed them years ago and have
just followed on from this.
Phone and computer should be on the same network and files can be transferred both to and from the computer with Filezilla.
Some time ago, there was a basic change to the Android operating system
that made all the existing methods stop working. There is an Android helper RPM in the Mageia repos, but using FTP, you don't need it.

I would challenge your claim a little, Doug!
My phone has been running Android 10 for most of the year and until the recent Mageia update file transfers worked fine. I suspect a management decision..
But maybe a month ago I stumbled onto what was needed, so now if I want
to access my phone with usb I use the following steps, in order:
1. Boot computer and phone without the cable connection.
2. Make sure the phone is unlocked.
3. Plug the usb cable into the computer and phone.
4. The device notifier will recognize the phone. Click on the "Open with file manager" option.
5. The phone will ask to allow MTP communication, which I OK. In the meantime, Dolphin has opened with an error that it can't access the phone.
6. Close Dolphin, then open it again. You should be able to access the
phone from the listing under "Devices."
If you click on that listing without closing Dolphin, you will get an
error message. Closing it and opening it again resets something so that access works. At least, it does for me.

My ten years old Android Samsung Note 4 always transported files fine to
and fro any of the Mageia versions on my pc, until about three years
ago. From then USB cable connections were refused.
As I didn't get any system software updates from Samsung since many
years, the problem must be located in the Linux/Mageia software updates.
My data are stored on an SD card in my phone.
I solved the connection problem in this way: I take out my SD card from
the phone and put it into a usb card reader that I connect to my pc,
then copy the files to my pc per Dolphin.
