I want to de-bloat my new phone and toy around with it but it requires a Xiaomi account be created and a SIM card being present for certain steps, namely for
USB debugging
Install via USB,
USB debugging (security settings)
Why is this and is there a way around this?
Have you found a solution?
Im try to turn on on Redmi Note 9

Have a small problem created out of thin air. When I connect the phone to the computer with USB debugging mode it says "There might be problems with some files on this device or disc. It can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been transferred to the device or disc. Scan and fix(recommended) This will prevent future problems when copying files to this device or disc" and "Continue without scanning". Choosing either seems to make no difference."
Then when I do a search/scan for problems it says "there is nothing wrong to the device. its now ready for use". And then i can enter the sd card. I get this error message everytime i plug in the phone from the bugging mode. But if i connect it with "kies" mode is says nothing and the disc shows on the C drive. I am afraid that this will create problems if i want to transer something important by USB debugging in the future such new ROM or flash something else from the download mode....someone recognizes this problem? (computer Windows 7 64 bit)
As I know, the Kies connection does only work, if usb debugging is off.
Which kernel and rom are you using?

My S Advance I-9070 recently got formatted. I was able to recover my installed Apps, photos, music via gmail account. However Contacts which were on the phone, couldn't get restored. Since i have a contacts.spb recent copy, on my PC, tried to connect S Advance to this PC and it is not getting detected as additional device. The Samsung Kies software also doesn't recoganize the phone. Except that the phone battery gets charged when connected. I tried different cables and PCs, and took to a service center, this phone didn't get recognised. I have backed up all data to SD card on the phone. Is this a new issue with S Advance ?
Please help.

Try to turn USB debbuging on, and see if something shows up in Windows explorer.
If you are on JB: Settings> Developer Options> USB Debugging

Try this one
This is when your Samsung not popup usb notifier at phone upper menu bar.
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Try settings-more settings under wireless and network. There are 2 to try. Usb utilities if that does not work. Try turning kies on or off on the phone. No idea why but kies on the phone does it on both computers I use with my 9070. Drivers can be a real pain for this too. When i upgraded to LQG I had to update the drivers too, but that could be my computer too.
hello
dropped my N6 on to a marble floor, the screen is black and touch is not responding. the phone seems to be working otherwise. usb debugging is off, the phone is fully stock (stock recovery, bootloader is locked, encryption is the marshmellow default, phone is not rooted). There is no lockscreen pin or pattern, just the standard slide to unlock. photos are not auto-backed up online, so I need access to the phone itself.
when I plug the phone into my computer, I cannot file explore it because I need to enable a prompt on the phone to MTP instead of charge only. as USB debug if off I cannot use ADP PULL / SDCARD.
I have two ideas:
1) use Wug's nexus root toolkit and do something there like put TWRP on, and then use TWRP to avoid the USB debug being off. I'm not sure on the details of this though! Any guide on the steps here? the power and volume hardware keys work, so in theory I can get into recovery with the right steps.
2) get a micro-usb hub, and plug in a wired mouse as well as connect to my computer, then blindly click about hoping that I enable MTP or USB debugging. I can then either copy files off in windows explorer or use Vysor to control the phone over ADB and email files etc as needed. Would this work? I don't have a hub so would need to spend £5-10 buying one
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Option 1 won't work because the bootloader is locked. You'll have to try option 2.
I have rooted Redmi-4A. I have supersu 2.79. My MIUI version is MIUI Global 8.2 | Stable 8.2.1.0 (MCCMIDL).
My USB debugging option is enabled.
I tried the following android applications but failed to get access to the MTP file transfer mode through my phone to PC.
1. MTP enabler Release 3.3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-mtp-enbaler-t3263467
2. QCustomShortcut application
3. MIUI Usb settings
I can select the MTP mode easily in the phone using the default method and the 3rd party apps that I listed above but my PC does not detect my phone. The ADB drivers are installed on my PC. However, my PC detects insertion of USB device and shows a notification upon insertion and taking out of USB cable connected to the phone.
I tried using MI PC suite and it also is not detecting my phone.
Have you tried installing the USB drivers? USB driver is NOT the same as the ADB driver. Google "Redmi 4A driver" and install the USB drivers.

I've installed them as well. They came along with the MiFlash tool. I forgot to mention it earlier

Have you tried with USB debugging disabled? Also, does changing the USB mode to PTP help?

Yes, I tried with both of these options but failed.
Hmm, that leads me to think that something's wrong on the PC's side. Can you boot up a Linux distro and see if you can transfer files there?

You can easily create a bootable Ubuntu USB and test the phone in the live session (i.e. without installing it).
I am currently getting that error with my phone. Not sure but it could happen because of the computer. I have two os in my computer. Win10 and Linux mint. Win10 can detect my phone without an issue but mint not. With usb debugging on I can use adb in linux but still no file sharing.

Do you have a rooted phone?

Yes and no I mean both. Got same issue in different times with different phones. When the time I use crunchbang I would able to fix it. (by installing things on crunchbang not on the phone). But this time, I did not try to fix actually. I am connecting my not rooted phone only for android studio. It detects it. I can install my apps and can test them. But I cant see my phone in file manager. Thats the story.
the same thing is happening to my wife's rooted 4a and her sisters unrooted one
the same for my not rooted one, I've seen my phone one day in windows 10 explorer (this day it makes 10 seconds to see and when reconnected I could see it one time over 2), but the next day nothing more, I spent hours to try fixing it and have a few computers (all with windows 10), I think it's a miui problem not letting windows acces to the storage.
I have a part of a solution, have ejected my sandisk 64GB SD card, found it was formatted in exFat, empty it in windows, put it back in redmi, after redmi search errors I clicked on the notification and saw a few remaining folders and files, so I went to storage to format the sd card, after this the sd card (and only it) was visible in Windows explorer, but only in MTP (without usb debugging), but the copy from the PC is a kind of erratic (drag and drop 1 folder full of subfolders and files is ok but selection of 10GB gb folders and files to copy stops after the first file copied...), I don't understand how one day I manage to see correctly internal storage and sd card...
edit: today I can see the sd card as empty in windows explorer despite of properties shows it is not, and impossible to copy anything...
So i use now a turnaround, I tried airdroid but device folders were shown as sd card(?), but tried another app "gestionnaire de fichiers" flashlight + clock which can activate ftp service (edit: I have seen after that file explorer from miui could, but it hangs before I found the soulution)
so I type on chrome ftp://192.168.0.45:1234 (1234 is the port number you can choose) with the phone on my box with wifi and all (device ssytem androïd too) is accessible (but to copy to the sd card I would have to use a ftp client).
EDIT: Eureka! I uncheck the fictive sd card optimisation (optimisation de la carte sd fictive in french) option in developper's options and all is ok.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
So for me to access both sd card and internal device memory in USB in Windows 10 for my not rooted xiaomi 4A miui global miui 9 global 8.1.11 beta android 7.1.2N2G47H
I had to:
-activate developper's mode (7 taps on Miui version)
to activate debugging usb (seems better)
-unactivate fictive sd card optimisation (windows and airdroid do not understand internal memory like a sd)
-format the sd card in the phone (in stockage menu, delete the sd card)
using the MPT mode seems the better option (in "selectionner la configuration usb" in french in developper's mode options) or with the notification when usb is connected.
For me Adb drivers were ok.
And there was a problem with file explorer that hangs when "fictive sd card optimisation" was activated, so even redmi can't access to sd card when this option is on...
I can't pick any option when I connect the phone to the computer, they all are greyed out. The only way to transfer files from my phone to my PC is through TWRP or changing the default USB option through developer settings.
Can someone help?
Can you attach screenshots?

This happened with me on my phone's stock image. All the usb options were greyed out. I tended to look for solutions, but couldn't find anything relevant. Then, with a later update, it got fixed. However, now I'm using a custom rom(Resurrection Remix), so there are no issues with USB atm.
I would suggest you to install a suitable and stable custom rom(Lineage OS, is the best) on your device. It might help.
If you are on Lineage (You don't say) just set the USB option to always transfer in developer settings, Plus make sure USB debugging mode is turned off.
