and yeh the article there is non-english but atleast the files there are good to go by...

bash4.2#mtpfs /mnt/my_android_phone

then i could cd to the phone folder and found the folders listed.....i can only see the folders but no files inside them though i can see them in the phone....

What process are you now? Did you find the solution already? Hmm, you translated the instructions to english or you can understand it?

I had similar results with mtpfs, some files/directories don't appear in the mountpoint. I ended up using jmtpfs which gives better results. YMMV.
