I just got my new P20 Pro and wanted to try out Huawei's share aka Air drop. Anyway I've managed to locate my phone on my PC [windows 10] but , I can't connect to it. It says error check my name or network ? Any one know a fix for this ? I've tried changing the name from my phone but nothing works. Huawei suggest to clicl the diagnose button which also does nothing.
Help please! Thanks in advance
FIX!
For anyone with this problem I found a fix. Go to control panel > Programs > Turn on or off windows features > Scroll down to SMB 1.0 File sharing support, Click the plus to expand and then check all 3 sub boxes!
windows can not get access to \\ P20PRO
It is possible that the name of the location is not well written or that there is a problem with the network.
Error code: 0 * 80070035
Works fine here and on my Mac.
you need to activate smb direct/client/server
Hijacking this thread. Tried this and still can't connect. Using a Sky Q router.
Yea, i have problems also with the P20 pro and windows 10. I have turned on the SMB settings and still no luck while i can see all my other device in the network just fine...
i did it on widows 10
1. Plug the USB cable into the phone and the computer.
2. Touch Settings.
3. Touch Wireless & networks.
4. Touch Tethering & portable hotspot.
5. Touch the USB tethering slider to turn it on.
6. The phone is now tethered.
7. On the computer, wait for the device drivers to install then click Home network.
8. Wait while the computer automatically applies the settings and connects to the network.
9. Setup is complete. Click Close.
10. Unplug ur phone and it will be working
good luck ^_^

Worked for me Thanks:good:
U must enable tethering on the comp or laptop and voala, on the network is appearing my phone wuth all folders
I also had this problem and followed all advice but in the end something else did the trick for me (albeit proposal for activating SMB was mandatory in the end).
So in my case, the problem was that the DNS wasn't resolving my P20 Pro's name. In order to finally access my phone's storage I had to manually open a file explorer window and type in \\<P20's Pro IP address> for example \\192.168.1.8 (you can find this IP address if you check the wireless devices connected to your router via its admin page).
Then in order to make it easier for the future, I went in my router's settings and set it as a static LAN Ip and Pinned the connection on my file explorer, so now I can simple click on it and connect whenever I enable Huawei Share.
I hope this helps people who still couldn't connect via Huawei Share. Just don't forget you still need to activate SMB as OP indicates in his follow-up post.

Nope, not working and i think huawei is pretty **** when it comes to pc connectivity
It wasn't working for me, for a while, until I realised I had to turn on "computer share" in Huawei Share settings! Duh, like..
It wasn't working for me. Why? Is there another way?

If it still helps i think i got it.
Use the original huawei charging cable you got with the phone.
I tried it all.. tethering, debugging, hisuite etc.. but nothing worked
1. step Install HiSuite on computer,
2. step plug in your phone with original cable,
3. step HiSuite on computer will run by itself,
4. step select transfer files on your phone,
5. step computer will ask you if you all it to install HiSuite on your phone and click ok,
6. step on your phone pop up will show to install HiSuite on Huawei.
Maybe also go to settings - connections - usb thetering (if needed) and thick it.
Hope it helps, it did for me - but barley lost my mind...
Good luck,
Toni
@frozenflame123
Topic is for "Huawei share" not for "HiSuite"
You great! Thank a lot! I had the same problem with the Honor9 Lite e I solved it thanks to your suggestion!

Being out of town in a hotel that has a flickering connection with a wireless (more spiritless than wireless....) I thought of giving my installed WMWifiRouter a try. I had it installed some time in January and never used it. Despite the successful connection between the Kaiser and the network, the laptop recognized the WMWifiRouter only twice, for very short time, and it never connected. I searched for instructions in the forum and the only available stated that WMWifiRouter 8 had everything packaged in the cab, no extra hacking needed. It also all referred to a website which apparently has been taken down. Has anybody made it work successfully? Are there any changes that need to be done to the phone other than installing and running the WMWifiRouter? Does the Internet Sharing Kaiser program need to be specially configured? Finally, does the Laptop need to be set up in any special way?
Thanks for any help!
you need to make an adhoc wifi connection between your laptop and phone before running the app...

At some point you had made an adhoc connection to your phone, if it was there previously then you didnt have to do that first step. But if you never set up an adhoc connection to the other device then its necessary to do so before running the app.
How do you make an ad hoc Wifi connection between the phone and the laptop? I am not sure I understand what that means.Could you please explain in simple steps?

I could be wrong. But I believed the latest WmWifirouter package will handle everything on the PDA side include the adhoc SSID. Otherwise:
1. Start > Settings > Connections > "Wi-fi" > "Add New ..."
2. "wifirouter" for Netowork Name, "Connects to:" = "The Internet", Check "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection"
3. In Wmwifirouter, make sure to check "Use DHCP Allocator" so that Kaiser will acted as a DHCP server and assign IP to yr laptop, click "connect"
4. From yr laptop, search for "wifirouter" as SSID and connect to it.
The final version of the program does not allow for DHCP allocations etc., seems to do it all by itself. The ironic thing is that it connected somehow, after about 10 attempts, and I am usiing it to write this one.
Thanks for all your help and patience!

Should also note that to use the 64 bit version of the windows software you must be running 64 bit java.
Now this is just awesome.
However it needs a fair bit of setting up in Windows as the balloon notifications are ugly.
Maybe I'll try Growl for windows!
I have had this for about 2 weeks now. The latest update is becoming annoying because it gives me a battery notification every 5 minutes. Maybe its the rom im using.
I cant seem to get this working. I would assume that since my desktop is connected to the network via Wired Connection, and my phone via wifi, but my pc wont see any of the services.
[edit] turns out i had to set it to sent to my custom IP and it works
I just saw this and downloaded it... It's perfect for me!
It worked perfectly first time, no configuration needed... just start the app and start the .exe on my PC and it works great.
One question I do have though is, what is Growl and how do I get it?
ya, i set up custom ip, which i assume would be the ip address of my desktop? and no go for some reason. too bad, i could actually use this. any suggestions would help but if not, Ill try and email the dev..vista with a wired connection to my router, if that makes a difference

Try double checking your IP address?
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center (If you're on Windows)
1. Click on "Local Area Connection" (If you're on Wired Connection)
2. Click on "Details..."
3. Look for your IP address at "IPv4 Address"
However, if the IP address of your desktop is not static. I’m afraid it will vary whenever you reboot your router/modem.
Alternatively, you may set the Target IP address to “Global broadcast address” on your phone.

Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System (OS)?
Did you download the 32-bit or 64-bit client for Android Notifier Desktop onto your desktop?
If you're on 64-bit OS and downloaded the 64-bit client for Android Notifier Desktop, you also need 64-bit Java.
Additionally, is the Target IP address set to “Global broadcast address” or "Custom IP or host" on your phone?
If it is on "Custom IP or host" you need to manually add the IP address of your desktop to it.

Android-notifier and DHCP networks
Does anyone have any clever ideas on how to get the following to work:
DynDNS hostname used on home network.
Router set to forward packets on the proper port.
I'd like it if I could forward to the broadcast address rather than a fixed IP. I.E., it doesn't matter WHICH computer receives the broadcast after it gets to my home network, just that SOMETHING does.
(I can't guarantee which computer I'll be using)
Ideally, I'd also like to be able to use this on my laptop, regardless of where I am: home or elsewhere, tethered or not.
make sense?
I can't keep a constant wireless connection on my nexus one but it works as long as the wireless doesn't hang which never happens...
so I tried to get Bluetooth working, I fainally got able to pair with my PC (Windows 7 64bit.) And it says paired but not connected on the phone. I try to send the test notification from the phone, but never got anything on the PC.
Can this work over the internet?

4th Update 5/2/2013 - Found a bug... Nothing that would affect the overall functionality, but it could cause some users to think that their phone is successfully connected via USB debugging, when it really isn't.
Update: 5/2/2013 - Per user requests, adding link to VirtualBox download site on the original post.
3rd Update 5/1/2013 - I changed the code that 'finds' the exploit file to make sure it get executed successfully. It's now using the "PATH" environment to do this. This is more reliable than the actual Linux 'find' command I was using before. Also added some additional instructions to clarify some steps based on feedback from users. Finally, added code to detect if the network adapter is not configured correctly. It will alert the user to configure the network adapter properly in the VirtualBox application.
2nd Update 5/1/2013 - I added some lines to the script to stress the importance of pressing one of the three hardware buttons on the phone (Volume up, Volume Down, or Power) once the exploit has been executed. After discussing this with the author of the exploit, this is an important step to obtaining root.
UPDATE 5/1/2013 - New and improved .ova file. Contains improved logic in the exploit script to help with some of the problems that have been encountered by users.
If you've had trouble rooting, please download the new version and try again!
Hey folks, I'm a UNIX admin by profession, so I took the challenge over the weekend to come up with an easy root process for Bionic stock Jelly Bean, specifically for those who aren't familiar with Linux.
I decided to build a Linux VM under Oracle VirtualBox on my Windows PC. This seemed like the logical choice since VirtualBox is free, a relatively small download, is easy to install and it's easy to import VMs.
My first attempt was using CentOS Linux. It worked, but the file required for users to download was over 450MB... Back to the drawing board!
Started looking for very small Linux distros and found Tiny Core Linux. This worked well. The file required for download is 50 MB.
Everything you need to root the Bionic is here and it is automatic. The process will walk you through connecting to the Samba file share, connecting the phone in USB debugging mode, and OF COURSE, it will run the process to root the phone.
Here are the steps:
1) Install Sun VirtualBox on your Windows PC.
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.12/VirtualBox-4.2.12-84980-Win.exe
Note: We've had one report that this file also works with VMWare Workstation and VMWare Player. If you don't want to install VirtualBox feel free try the file with VMWare.
2) Download the VirtualBox .ova file containing the Linux VM from one of the following links:
http://www.knite.net/Bionic/Root_Bionic_JB_20130501-4.ova
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2i6forosp77xrd
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...fhiAIiSwc0jD1AdVFNY27QdoeKP9ot_7IdDetSvw&dl=1
3) Import the .ova file into VirtualBox. (Click "File" then "Import Appliance".)
4) Start the imported VM in VirtualBox (Click the big "Start" Button. It has a green arrow icon.)
5) Follow the instructions on the Linux console.
That should do it. If you need help I will be monitoring this thread.
Willing Tester
I am not familiar with Linux but I am familiar with root, supersuser, recovery, and fxz/rsd lite. I am up for a new phone next month so I am willing to try this on my Bionic. This doesn't sound too hard....(famous last words). Will try on my Windows 7 laptop.
Will report if this works. Won't be able to until later today.
Thank you OP!
Found a problem with the script. Should work now. Download and import again, if you've already downloaded. I also managed to get the download down to 46MB by defragging and compacting the .vmdk file.
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bb53ayj5c3nd5ie/Root_Bionic_JB.ova?token_hash=AAGSOYfPuDXTur_e9qlYl2JRERovPyfMwe-2xNzHXg4Lxg&dl=1
Downloading new link now. Haven't tried to root yet. I'm at work right now.
Do you have any other suggestions before I start? I don't have to be completely stock do I...? (all stock apps, no superuser, etc.) I am on stock jelly bean 4.2.1, ver. 98.72.22.XT875.Verizon.en.US, stock recovery...but I did use OTA Rootkeeper so I have a (semi-functioning) superuser install. Do you suggest starting fresh with fxz?
I will be home in a couple hours to give it a try.
Well....my problem is that I can get my phone to connect to the share. My guess is that its due to a network thing on my laptop. Is the phone supposed to be connected via USB when I try that?
Awesome! I've got root again thanks to this. Was very easy to follow your instructions, great job!
Great, I just wanted to do something to make it easier for everyone, since so many seemed to be struggling with Linux.

So, in order for the phone to connect to the share, your phone needs to be connected by wi-fi to the same network as the computer that is running VirtualBox and the VM.

Ok that's gonna be my problem then ...I'll give it a shot when I get home and I'm not connected to my office network.
USB 3.0?
My laptop only has USB 3.0 ports. Is that why I am having trouble connecting to the VMbox? SMB share connected over WIFI no problem. USB fails every time.
I am struggling with the directions and feeling dumb about it... Not sure what to put for the "Host IP Address"
EDIT: Restarted the virtual machine and it gave me the information I needed. The first time around the field was blank.
I appear to still lack root because the SU app wants to update the binary and fails to do so.
I'm not sure, but one thing you can check. When the Linux console is up in the VirtualBox window, there is a section in the lower, right hand corner of that window that shows a bunch of icons. Click the USB icon and very that you see your Bionic as an option for hardware that is connected to your laptop.
Also, I'm making an assumption that you have the Motorola UBS drivers already loaded on your Windows system before you even started this whole process. Maybe I shouldn't make that assumption???

First of all, thank you very much for creating a easy root tool for those of us who thought the previous methods were too daunting.
I've got a 32bit Windows PC and followed the instructions as you listed them. The problem I kept encountering was that my phone would not accept the IP address or group name suggested by the VirtualBox. When I looked up IP address of the VirtualBox my computer (cmd/ipconfig) I noticed it conflicted with the address that the box was telling me to enter into my Bionic. I wonder if this is the cause of the connectivity issue, and I have a hunch it's because my router is set to give dynamic IPs to the devices on my home network (which is larger with multiple routers and devices).
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can test the connectivity to the SMB share from your Windows PC first. That's what I suggest.
In your Windows PC, go to My Computer and type in:
\\192.168.1.11\share
where 192.168.1.11 represents the IP address that the Linux server is telling you to use.
You can also go to the windows command line (cmd) and type:
telnet 192.168.1.11 445
which will show if your windows computer can connect to port 445 (SMB).
If these are successful, you probably have an issue that your phone and computer are not connected to the same network.
If you believe they are, you may want to see if your router is set up to not bridge the wireless and LAN traffic, which would mean that the computers on the LAN segment cannot communicate with the computers on the WI-FI segment.
Hopefully something here will help you out.
Please post your results.
Also, make sure when you are typing in names, passwords, groups and IP addresses, that you are not leaving trailing spaces on the ends of things.

Thanks for the help and instructions. After a few hours of fiddling around I still cannot get my phone to connect to the SMB. My computer connects successfully and after I connect via \\192.168.1.11\share the VirtualBox even progresses a bit to the point where it asks me to plug in my Bionic, but without my phone's wifi file share the process stalls. I am sure that both phone and PC are connected to the same network, sharing is all on, and firewalls are down. At this point I must assume that my router isn't bridging for some reason. Tonight I'll do some more investigation into the Airport Express settings and see if it will fix this issue.
Alright, you can also verify the network connectivity between the phone and the VM by using the 'ping' command.
Find the IP address of your phone by selecting Settings, then Wi-Fi, then click your left most menu button on the bottom and select Advanced. You will see the IP address of the phone. The first 3 octets of that address (xxx.xxx.xxx) should be the same on both the computer and the phone on MOST networks.
So from the Linux console, if you press Ctrl-c, it will drop you to a Linux prompt, from here you can try to ping the phone:
ping 192.168.1.11
Again, where 192.168.1.11 represents the IP address of your phone, that you just found from the menu.
Also, you can try to ping the Linux VM from your phone. If you've installed the Android Terminal app, you can lauch it and type:
ping 192.168.1.11
Where 192.168.1.11 represents the IP address of the Linux server. This is presented to you by the Linux console when it gives you the information to put into your phone in order to connect to the SMB share.

Thanks for the help and instructions. After a few hours of fiddling around I still cannot get my phone to connect to the SMB. My computer connects successfully and after I connect via \\192.168.1.11\share the VirtualBox even progresses a bit to the point where it asks me to plug in my Bionic, but without my phone's wifi file share the process stalls. I am sure that both phone and PC are connected to the same network, sharing is all on, and firewalls are down. At this point I must assume that my router isn't bridging for some reason. Tonight I'll do some more investigation into the Airport Express settings and see if it will fix this issue.

I made it all the way through and the exploit said it was successful, but I don't have root. Any thoughts there?

Here are some tips that I posted for someone over on Droid Forums. Hopefully some of this will help us figure out what is going on:
Need you to do some investigation. Run the exploit again. Once your phone is connected to the SMB share and the Linux script verifies the connectivity, press Ctrl-C to break out of the script and return to the Linux command prompt. Make sure your phone is connected to USB. From there execute the following commands and share the output with me:
sudo ash
cd /home/guest/share
./adb.linux shell
(if you execute the above command and DO NOT see this prompt: [email protected]_targa/ $
then you have USB connectivity issues and need to make sure you get your phone successfully connected
to VirtualBox and the Linux VM)
ls -l /storage/rfs0
I want to see the output of the "ls" command to verify that the SMB share is being mounted to /storage/rfs0
This can cause the exploit to fail is it's not.
If you see no output from that command, run this command:
find /storage -name pwn
If you get that far and this looks good. Can you type:
su -
and see if you get a root prompt? A root prompt means your prompt will end with '#' instead of '$' before the cursor.
If you do get this, it could be that your Superuser app is simply broken and need re-installed.
The command that the exploit runs to root the phone, once you get this far is:
/storage/rfso/pwn 1
You can try running that manually and see what happens.

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to connect my Mi5 with my PC using MTP connection (i'm on Ubuntu). The problem is that I can see the device connected and mounted but i can't copy anything from it. It always crashes. Strange thing I can copy files from pc to the device without any problem, but if i try to copy something from the device to my pc it always says " libtmp: Could not get file from device."
I've also tried with windows, but nothing changed. i cannot copy or transfer any type of file.
While googling around i've found that this might be an Android 6.0 related problem rather that a MIUI one.
But i've also tried a possible solution that has been proposed which consists in changing a configuration under developer option and switch it back but it didn't work.
here's the steps i've followed:
Open Settings
Enable Developer options:
Go to About phone (or tablet)
Scroll to the bottom
Tap Build number repeatedly. After several taps you will see it count down and then say "You are now a developer!"
Back to Settings
Tap Developer options, near the bottom
Scroll down to and tap Select USB Configuration
Change it to Charging only
Tap Select USB Configuration again
Change it back to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)
I don't know how to proceed.
If someone can help me it would be great!

Hi!
Try a factory reset. Maybe it will help. (just a thought)

Nope didn't work at all
How long do you have to tap build number?` nothing happens here :/
Edit.
Found it tapping Miui rather than build version, but cant find the USB configuration after being in developer mode.
@zofox I don't have a solution but can confirm the problem.
On WIndows 10 latest release, it's working like a charm.
When I connect the Mi 5 to a Usb 2 or Usb 3 port on Ubuntu (same computer) it does nothing, only charging works.
So that means: I am not sure if it's a problem with Ubuntu, your PC or both!

I'm using a dell XPS13 2015 and it doesn't work neither on windows or ubuntu
right now i'm using ftp to comunicate but it's pretty annoying also the fact that i can copy stuffs from pc to mi5 but not the opposite it's pretty strange ...
It might be the USB port(s) in question: check if the port used is on some external controller or part of the PCH/southbridge (i.e. part of the motherboard); next up, try direct ports instead of through USB hubs (if any in between). Other than this, I have no further idea.

Seems like it was a cable related problem ?
Changed it and everything works like a charm ?
Mods can close the discussion ?

First go to settings, then click the option 'about phone'.
Then click on 'miui version' several times until u become the developer.
Then go back to settings and find the 'developers option' in the 'additional settings' .
Afterwards look for the 'usb configuration' option in the 'networking' section.
There select the 'mtp' option
This worked very well for me and solved all my problem
change the cable works like a charm, thanks!! you guys save my semester.
This works like a charm to me. Only one thing I have noticed is, in my phone(Mi5) Developer options comes under Additional settings of systems& Device section.

That's exactly what helped me !
Thanx bro
I was facing the same issue in redmi note 5 pro.
I had same on Redmi 5 (rosy), my 'solution' was to drag drop down down, tap Android System and change from 'Charge this device' to 'Transfer files'. I was expecting a pop up when I connected the cable to select what I wanted to do, none came.
PDAnet is able to directly share internet over USB, but it seems limited in what it can do. I can hardly connect to any game servers, steam's download speeds are slow (Figured it may be some Steam port issue but I also have problems with Origin so I'm unsure), and I can't directly connect to other peoples lobbies. I'm using Ver 5.10.5 of Pdanet (and have paid version) and am wondering if anyone knows a possible solution. I tested connection with built in USB tethering and I was able to connect, but I'd rather not blow through the limit for the built in option
I would second this. When I upgraded to the s9 plus everything got slow.... Any solutions?

So far I haven't had any success. With limited testing the hotspot would sometimes be faster for downloading games on Steam, but it's not too reliable for in-game
I got this from the company:
> 1. Uninstall PdaNet+ from your phone
> 2. Open the we browser on the phone and go to http://pdanet.co/install
> tap on the link to the apk file to download and install it.
> 3. Open PdaNet on the phone and tap the "3 dot" menu icon, select "IPv6
> support" from the menu, then select "IPv6 prioritized".
> 4. Enable USB mode and connect PdaNet.
Thank you, I'll try this as soon as I get the chance and report back
Ended up getting faster download speeds when using IPv6, though still had trouble connecting to servers. Think I figured out the problem when playing Torchlight II and it brought up I had a strict NAT. Not sure how to change it for mobile tethering but I'll keep looking
