I have done the following steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp 
sudo apt-get update

and updated some packages from update manager. After doing above steps I am able to see lumia phone name in file system. But when I try to mount device I am getting following errors:

Unable to mount RM-914|Nokia Lumia 520
Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,010]'

Is there any way to solve these problem?

These are my steps to connect the Nokia Lumia 920 (WP8):

1. Add the MTP file system in Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp 
sudo apt-get update

2. Make a new udev rule:

2.1 Create the rule file:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

2.2 Add the following line to the file:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="01b1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01b1", SYMLINK+="libmtp", MODE="660", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1"

2.3 Save the file (Ctrl+O)

3. Reload udev rules:

# udevadm control --reload-rules

4. Connect (or reconnect) the device.

Make a new udev rule

sudo emacs -nw /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

And add the following line

ATTR{idVendor}=="01b1", ATTR{idProduct}=="01b1", SYMLINK+="libmtp",
MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

You need to refresh the udev rules and unplug/replug the device and it will work. :-)

Plug the phone in, then reboot the phone while it's plugged in.

Worked for me using Ubuntu 13.10 and Lumia 520.

Did you check with lock screen disabled? I remember earlier when I hadn't kept the password lock screen - the file browser used to show the device and I could access it. However, now that I have kept the password lock screen - the devices are visible but cannot be opened via file browser.

Of course there is one more additional thing: earlier I was using Ubuntu 12.04, now I use 14.04 - so I don't know if the issue is because of change of ubuntu version - I don't think so.
