Your symptoms sound very familiar, down to the filesystem browsing.  I
think it is Verizon's attempt to quash file transfers of ringtones.  I
was able to get the normal operation to work by commenting out a line of
code that fetched the wallpapers, I believe.

I have a feeling that the phone basically shuts down the USB transaction
when you ask for a protected area of storage on the phone.  The Windows
drivers handle it, but the Linux ones don't.

I believe seem editing should restore file transfers, but I haven't been
brave enough to try.
