Hi!
I have a problem with my Lenovo K3 Note.
Can't transfer files from PC using USB cable (it only charges). Computer doesn't recognize and no notification or option to change connection type on Smartphone.
The only way to connect to PC via USB is when i have TWRP recovery open. In this case i can transfer files, etc
Already tried in different computers with different cables and with USB debug on and off.
Any help would be very appreciated
Make sure your device's screen is unlocked.
Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
On your device, pull down your notification drawer by swiping down from the top of the screen.

So I just got my bootloader unlocked today. I went home this evening to plug my phone into my computer and start installing the custom recovery, only to find that both computers in my house won't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. To my dismay, no USB icon showed up in the status bar, and it just said "Charging". No notification in Windows (or the Ubuntu computer either). Either my cable has gone bad and only charges, or the original cable doesn't transfer data. I've also checked to make sure that Media Device (MTP) is checked. Funny thing was I was using the cable from my OG Droid at work today to charge my phone on the work computer. I know the USB Debugging icon had shown up so I know it was working properly, it won't show up on my computers at home.
Can anyone confirm with me that the original cable is USB only?
No, the original cable should do both. Try another cable though, or use port on the pc. Otherwise it's your drivers on the pc.
You have USB debugging checked in developer options? You have drivers installed on your computer? Making sure to use the USB port on the back of the computer, not the front?

As the title says, i can not get my PC to recognize nor will it connect to my phone. It will charge so i know its connected but no matter what PC or port it will not allow me to open up the phone storage or SD card. I have updated USB drivers, its got the debug enabled, tried kies ( hate it) and different cables both big connector and micro connector. Just would like to connect and sort / clean out the phone. Any one have other ideas? its 5.0, july 2015 kernel.
I bought the Tronsmart Data Cables USB-C to USB-A knowing the cable that came with the box was only a charging cable. But still my computer won't recognize my Mi 5 64Gb. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have also installed the MI PC Suite. Still failing.

MiSuite is useless for now, as this thing doesn't support Android 6.
Just connect the phone with a cable to the Computer. I use the Xiaomi Mi4c cable, the original mi 5 is still in the box but both work to transfer data!
All you have to do is:
-Connect the phone to the pc with Usb C to A
-Change the connection mode from "Use USB for Charging only" to "Use USB for Transfer files (MTP)"
Uh and could you please explain the difference between a USB C to USB A charging cable and a USB C to USB A data-transfer cable? The more details you add the better. I am specially curious about the wires inside of the cable, like the difference between a charging and data cable, by the means of wire connection. (I have never heard of such a thing.)
I have tried doing that but it seems Windows is not installing the drivers for Mi 5 thus getting a "device could not be recognized.
Working great now. Had to change USB ports and used the ones at the rear of my desktop. Thanks!

mine has the same problem with you..
when connected Mi 5 to PC, Mi 5 is not displaying "Charging Only" or "MTP" Option. My PC (Win 7) says "Device is not Recognized".
I've tried uninstalling Mi PC Suite and another ADB program, and changing usb port, the problem is stills..
How do you fix it?
I had the same problem. But changing to a different USB-port on my computer solved it. Check if you have any native USB3 ports on your mobo.
I had the same issue on my Win8 computer (usb2 plugs only) . But it connected perfect on my wife's win7 computer (usb3 plugs)
I finished getting it connected by validating USB debug and waiting very long for driver installation.
USB3 versus USB2 , why not.
Its Not USB2 vs USB3 as I am getting it connected on my Laptop with only USB2 ports but Can't connect on my PC with USB2/USB3 ports while my S7 connects perfectly. I dunno why this is happening and still seeking solution. PTP mode and USB tethering mode works fine though. Just MTP mode connection gets the Yellow triangle and device listing under other devices in my windows device manager.
Install the software driver of the pc and connect as mtp
Dont work anything
I change it to MTP but it comes back by itself to charging mode wtf
Go to device manager after connecting usb to phone
In portable devices, you will find your device along with a caution sign
Double click on your device
Go to driver tab
Then click on update driver
Then click on "Browse my computer..."
Then click on "Let me pick..."
Select MTP USB Device
Install this driver and then your phone will be detected by your computer
(1) Go to C:\Windows\INF
(2) Type "wpdmtp.inf" in search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows 10.
(3) Once you found it, just right click on it and select install. It will take a very few seconds.
(4) Connect your device to the pc.

I'm guessing here, but do you mean a usb device? not usb drivers? Drivers you would install on your computer, a usb device u would plug into the other end of an OTG cable, right?
If you're talking about a usb device, like a usb stick, before connecting the usb stick with the otg cable, go to the development options and page down about 2/3 of the way and you can select what 'type' of usb connection to make... one is charging only, etc etc.
the one to select is MTP (media transfer protocol), then the usb stick should work.
Yes it's USB device, when I am trying to connect it via otg cable in my mobile it's doesn't open in my mia2

If the file system on the usb is ntfs then it won't work
In any case, if it still doesn't work, you can use this app

So it wasn't working on the pie beta but I didn't bother writing it here because I thought it was a beta so meh. Now since it's stable now, I am still unable to connect my Flash Drive to my phone. When I connect my usb to it, it does recognize the USB but then that's it. Like when I connect my usb, it doesn't show the usb in the "Files" or even in my 3rd Party files explorer. When I drag down the notification panel, it actually shows that a device has been connected and when I tap on that I'm redirected to a menu where there are 2 options. so is anyone else facing the same issue on Mi a2 or is it just me? Or am I doing something wrong?

I have the same issue. Tried with Mi A3 (Android 10) and it works normally. Plug into Mi A2 (Android 10) and it shows that device connected. Android System notification says -> Charging connected device via USB, tapping it shows USB Preferences. USB Preferences show that Usb Controlled By -> Connected Device and doesn't allow to change the option.

both of you should use stock pie stable miui and it will work.
for extra certainty try mixplorer and give it root with magisk and select the custom.otg driver option
in many cases the otg adapter you are trying to use might be crap ..
in many cases the charging port wasn't working and repair soldered on an unofficial part now it can only charge and otg or usb cable data to pc can't work
options:
1. connect usb to usb port on your router and use samba plugin from mixplorer to access it over the network ...
2. connect usb to your mia3 and send the file with midrop to.your mia2
i got problem with device manager,when i connect my phone to my pc
my phone only charging...did not show up "USE AS ,MTP.FILE TRANSFER" thing like that
try to update with xiaomi usb driver,but no luck lol
There should be a USB notification on the phone that you can click to select file transfer.
Try a different cable or usb port and see will it work
I have same problem. Phone is Mi 9 and when I plug into USB 2 port it is charging and file transferring but when I connect to USB 3 port just charging, no file transfer. It does not ask what to do (USB options). It makes sound when connected to USB 3 port, charging but neither asking for USB options nor seen on my computer. I tried 3 different type-c cable but result is same. When trying to update driver it says it is already the most updated one.
