Details
Running Arch XFCE LTS kernel, also tested on Arch Cinnamon
LTS, and Manjaro Cinnamon LTS (same results).
Just updated android-tools from the 7.1.2_r27-1 to 8.0_r4-2. Phone connects to pc as usual, but as soon as you try to enable MTP, the phone disconnects immediately and continues to bounce between being connected/unconnected until you reboot the pc (nothing wrong phone side other than the usb connection status/usb debugging going on and off in the status bar). Result differs device to device. On my Moto X Pure I could not connect to ADB at all. Even in charge only mode, as soon as an ADB command is given the device disconnects, along with no MTP access at all. On my LG-G3, ADB works while the phone's USB setting is in charge only mode, but not in MTP mode - device disconnects. The LG can maintain an MTP connection, but no storage locations are shown (blank in the file manager). Downgrading back to 7.1.2_r27-1 fixes the issue - ADB/MTP work as they should. Android-udev is unaffected, the latest update works on both versions of android-tools. So for now I'm operational, just wanted the issue noted here. |

Downgrading to android-tools-7.1.2_r27-1 made the problem go away.
Also there are two things you can try:
- I just pushed 8.0.0_r11 update to [community-testing]. It does not seems to contain a lot of adb issue. But anyway it worth trying.
- I adopted the build script for Android master branch and pushed it as a package to AUR [1]. I see that Android master has a lot of USB related fixed. Your problem might be fixed as well. Try to install android-tools-git and please share your experience with this package.

Until then you have two options:
- downgrade to 7.0 version
- use AUR version
