My Windows 10 notebook could detect the MiMax through its File explorer : I could view all phone contents in internal memory and ext SDcard
BUT using Mi PC Suite software, the phone just couldn't be connected to it - I had selected USB connection as MTP
When I booted the phone into EDL mode, the PC also failed to detect the phone and I just could not select the Qualcomm drivers too
I'd appreciate any help on this
I have the same problem, although adb and fastboot work just fine, I have not been able to get into edl mode, that I can discern. No red flashing light or other indicator. Thought maybe I'd unlock it and see if that helps.
I've read everything I can find and there are 4 different ways to go into edl mode: adb, fastboot, holding volume +/- while inserting usb connected to pc and connected device while holing volume +/- and power, wait for vibration, let loose of power for next vibration, but none work on my device.
I find I have to toggle the usb connection between mtp and whatever then back to mtp to get file access and I wonder if that has something to do with my irregularities.
Not a big deal (pun??) as I love the phone. This has replaced my note 5. Love the size and performance is comparable.

my a2 lite does not connet to my pc, I have installed drivers, put it on usb debug, but my pc does not recognize de phone, I have tried different usb ports and cables with no success, it does charge eventually with some cables, but I don't know if this is hardware problem or there is any setting I am missing, it does not give me any choice of chosing the usb kind of conection
it is a new phone just prepped for everyday use, not hacked or modded in any way
USB OTG is working but only reading, I cannot write in external usb drive with es file explorer, or the includer file aplication, it says unsupported operation

Set hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file perhaps

thank you, but I cannot acces from adb as there is absolutely no conection from my computer, it only starts charging but as if it were just a charger, there is no usb mode options avalaible y my phone, and the pc does not recognize anything conected
I have tried to connect with another computer with the same results, it only gets power, but no data comunication whatsoever
as nobody gives any clue or info about some hidden setting, I must assume this is another case of bad quality control in xiaomi products, I will check with the seller
Did you specifically set file transfer mode via the notification drawer or left it on charge only?

the phone does not detect either that it is connected to a computer, so the notification to select the mode of connection does not even show
I have tried usb otg and I can read fine but I cannot write at all in a pendrive
I have installed also an sd card as internal memory and have storage errors all the time so I have removed it
I have tried also conection in fastboot mode but the computer still does not recognize anything connected
I have uses several cables, usb ports and even 2 different pc with same results
My only guess is that there were some hidden config setting that is messing with the phone, that's the reason I am asking before going to the seller.
Seems like a broken USB pin then

an usb pin should not affect internal sd memory, and usb does not work like water pipes, one pin data in one pin data out, they need both data pins for reading also, so as it can read from pendrive the problem is somewhere else, not in the connector.
This could be a hardware problem. Have you tried to connect it to another computer?
I have already tried on 3 diferent computers with same results. The only diference so far is that it actually does not read either the content of a pendrive connected through OTG, the first day it read it, now it only detects but reads nothing.
Also when sd is configured as internal memory, instead of reading internal memory, that seems to be the normal result, I can read only the sd card with android file explorers
I have the same problem.
No connection data with pc/mac, it only charges.
I'm italian and like many other italians, I've also the problem with Sim slot 2 with no connect..

It is good to know I am not the only one.
F**k, this phone starts to look like a piece of garbage I dont connect to USB, I dont use SD not 2nd sim, so I did not experience these issues, but, f**k again..
Have you tried rebooting? Press the power button for 15secs. to power it off. Use another cable, use another PC, make sure the cable is plugged in properly... bla bla bla. Oh, have you tried placing the phone into a dry rice bowl? Haha (sorry, I had to). I'm sure you've tried it all.
So, I have not much to say. Only that I had a similar problem with a Moto G after I flashed a LineageOS ROM. It worked fine before, but with the new ROM, the USB didn't work at all (it could only read OTG). It was stuck in the "charging" mode. No notification nor option to turn it to file transfer. The PC didn't recognise it at all, either.
Solution? Initially, I turned on USB debuging option and the PC saw the phone (on windows device manager, it was there, but not on MyPc). It was some advance. I can't remember if adb detected it.
Final solution? Luckily my phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I could easily flash the same ROM from the TWRP recovery and everything works fine now.
You might try using Xiaomi's flash tool to try to flash the orginal ROM again IF the phone is recognised by the tool (try if it can see the phone) http://en.miui.com/download-354.html
And I suggest contacting Xiaomi for a warranty claim if needed, 'cause it looks like a harware problem (a pin the the microUSB port issue). But be ready to answer the questions posted above several times haha.
Good luck!

I have done all your sugestions previously, even reseting phone with a new gmail account so no config setting from other phone could interfere, I have also tried fastboot, but although phones goes to fast boot mode the pc does not recognize connection either
it is not an usb pin issue, tried 6 cables, 4 computers, 10 or more usb 2 an 3 ports, I am negotianting in aliexpress a refund, we'll see
If I go into recovery mode with power vol+ a broken android appears.

I don't know if you already did this, but try using a PC with Linux (you can use Ubuntu without installing it on the PC, then install the fastboot package).
Hi,
I had no problem with fastboot and adb with Mac!
Phone recognized by the machine and do transfer boot.img for magisk...
Now I Win!
I can see the internal memory with Android File Transfer (Trasferimento File Android in italian!) - this is the link https://www.android.com/filetransfer/.
My version of Build is V.9.6.8.0.
Solution:
- Connect the phone to pc/mac;
- Go to: Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration -> select first "Charge" and then "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol)
- The system recognize the phone!
[for italian, like me, andare su Impostazioni -> Opzioni Sviluppatore -> Seleziona Configurazione USB -> scegliere "Ricarica" e poi "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol) ]

Where are you from? Where did did you purchase the phone (the actual store, is it in China)? Depending on where are you from and what country did you buy the phone from, by law, you'll get manufacturer warranty. So, any "official" distributor in your country will have to provide a warranty solution for you. If Ali Express is unable to provide you with a solution, look into that.
Let us know how it work out for you

I am from Spain, and the aliexpress seller has store in Spain, but you know how chinese vendors act ... no agreement so far, and now aliexpress decides, whenever they turn back to work, because China as you may know is a whole year vacation place for workers ...
Hello,
I've a Mi Mix 2 for 2 years. I never had any worries.
I always plugged my phone into my computer for either file transfers or for USB connection sharing.
Since Monday, more possible. I plug in my phone, and it starts charging directly, and the notification to choose file transfer, photo, or charge only no longer appears. The computer doesn't detect it anymore as my Mi Mix 2, but an unknown device with a problem.
I have already uninstalled / updated drivers, MTP too.
I also tried on another pc, and with other cables, the problem remains the same. I'm starting to lose patience.
I specify, developer mode is enabled, with USB debugging and default file transfer mode.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? And if so, how to solve it if possible?
Thanks a lot !
Probably you have to change/repair usb c port in your phone
Or have you activate USB Debugging?
