android mount mtp: read error at byte 0, input/output error

Asked by SoloTurn

how can i copy files from an android phone with keeping the timestamps?

mc@mc:/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C004%5D/Internal storage/DCIM/100ANDRO$ cp -p DSC_0294.JPG ~
cp: error reading ‘DSC_0294.JPG’: Input/output error

when using tar it does:
tar: DSC_0294.JPG: Read error at byte 0, while reading 9216 bytes: Input/output error

when copying with the file browser it copies fine, but does not keep the timestamps.

When you unplug the phone from systems, do you use the safe removal feature in your OS?

what would be interesting if one could add a "-p" flag to the file browser as well ...
