I was in the same boat last year. I have a Motorola Electrify M and
when I plug it in all it does is mount as a CDROM drive with a Windows
executable on it. I tried it on a Windows machine and the EXE installs
the drivers in Windows that allow it to bypass the USB mass storage
device and activate MTP. It is running Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
After some frustration and help on a forum I was directed to Air Droid
which let me connect to it via WiFi and the later version allows
connection via the Internet through an Air Droid server, if desired.
I don't know if the WiFi/'Net traffic is encrypted or not, so that might
be something to consider.
