Can someone explain why connection of the P2XL to Windows 10 via USB is so troublesome?
At a minimum, each time I connect I have to:
1. Update the device driver via Windows Device Manager from "MTP Device" to "MTP USB Device" (there are two of these)
2. Tap on the P2XL notification "USB for Charging" to change it to "USB for File Transfer"
I have set "Select USB Configuration" in Developer Options to MTP, but this doesn't help.
How can I configure my phone to connect for MTP each time I connect it via USB?
Thanks

Are you using the USB adapter that came with the device, or a standard 2.0 USB A-C cable?
Using the white USB cables that came with the P2XL.
Try just using the charging cable connected to the PC, it's all I use to connect to my Win 10 PC, and the only thing I have to do is make sure the device is set to MTP, I never have to mess with drivers on the PC.
Are your drivers up to date? Are you saving any changes on the PC after making them? Not sure why you're getting the MTP Usb / MTP Device option unless it's related to using the dongle (which I never have)...
It's not Win10 dude, I connect a few times a week for Andromeda purposes, plug and go.

In my case it WAS Win 10. None of my phones would connect for MTP. I frequently use ADB and windows was trying to use those drivers by default. After messing around in device manager I finally was able to select the windows MTP drivers. After that all my phones were able to connect with windows via MTP.

Wtherrell how did you do that? my phone won't even show up on device manager
I I R C I had to delete all the old ones and start fresh. Some of the old ones were not obvious but somewhere on line or in the forums I found some clues about what to look for and delete. I wish I could remember exactly where but I can't at the moment.

Anyone else have troubles connecting via usb with windows 7. I enabled developer options and turned on and off usb debugging. Tried a few different sets of usb drivers from LG and still can't get it to show up in windows explorer. It makes the usb BEEP when connected and doesn't show any errors in Device manager but just won't show up to browse files. Any ideas? BTW I have a GS5 and HTC M8 and they boh connect to this same computer. Not the G3 though. Go figure.

My oneplus 3 isn't found in com/ports on windowsill 10. It's unable to load recovery and won't boot to system. Fastbook still works and has a unlocked boot loader. Trying to install stock firmware to restore the device for se again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try loading drivers, have no issues here. Also run cmd prompt by right clicking on cmd.exe and selecting "Run As Administrator"

Ok. Thanks. I'll try that once I'm back home. But the drivers have been installed several times with no sucess.
Also make sure USB debugging is enabled in the developers settings and you have the correct USB mode enabled (not charging)

If you have still have no luck it may be worth showing whats seen in device manager when OP3 is plugged in. (Possible unknown device)
Don't have any issue with WIN10 myself along side OP3 but have had numerous driver related issues on other devices with WIN10

here is the device manager
setup driver and try in twrp
A few pointers:
Is this a "home/personal" computer - USB devices can be prevented from connecting via registry hacks and the Group Policy editor ( wonder if some av software could require authentication???).
With Windows 10 you should have native "Microsoft" drivers and no external drivers need to be loaded,
It should be detected when the usb connection is "charging" and you should see/hear Windows "changing" drivers as you change the usb connection to MTP,PTP,Midi.
I presume you've tried different usb ports and if possible alternative cables
If you plugged in the OP3 powered off and then switch it on then it should be detected by Windows before Android boots - otherwise you could never connect a bricked device or follow Oneplus.net flashing instrutions (connect device booted in recovery mode)
Try running USBdview from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html Note 32 and 64bit versions!!!! The program will show all usb drivers that have been used and show which ones have their device connected. You can select and delete drivers. You can see which drivers have been used for the OP3 by looking at the Vendor and Product Id's (VID/PID) columns . OP3 has a VID of 2A70 and a PID of 9011 (may be others). If you have in the past connected the OP3 on the computer then look at the Hub/Port columns this shows the USB socket that worked.
In Device Manager I would expect the OP3 "out of the box" to just show up under "Portable Devices" as "ONEPLUS A3003" and with usb debugging enabled as a second entry either as an ADB device under "Android devices" or as "ADB interface" under "Universal Serial bus devices" You said that "Fastbook" worked - Did you mean Fastboot? - if so then the device should be showing up somewhere in Device Manager. Try "fastboot devices -l" for any clue.
Thanks. I'll give those a try tomorrow. Just to mention in case I wasn't clear with my info. The OP3 can't boot into recovery. It'll say oneplus powered by android then a blank screen. And yea, I did mean fastboot lol. Thank so for all the info also. I'll post what I discover asap.

One more thing. Connect the phone to a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. It may not be recognised in a 3.0 port.

This is what I found on USBDeview. There are two other versions of the OP3 on this list. But they do not show as being connected while the phone is in Fastboot. Im unable to access the OS to enable anything that may help with it being seen on my computer.

Win7 works and i dont tryed the nice tip on site2.

You can install the driver after disabling the driver enforcement..

This is what shows up after the one plus boot logo appears.
I had similar problem. I was rooting my 1+3. I went to device control settings in WIN 10 and removed 1+3 drivers. Next time when i was in fastboot mode windows installed drivers. :highfive:
I used the ones that came with 1+3

I think this thread will supply the solution. "your" problem is at this post https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/page-4#post-15169580
so im using a pixel 2 xl, and i cant seem to transfer files between my phone and any pc whatsoever, i used to do this easily before, ive tried everything, turned on usb debugging, use the notification drawer changed the cable, but nothing seems to be working, what coudl be the problem and how do i solve it ??????????????????
USB mode now always defaults to "charging". You have to change it manually to "MTP" each time. At least in my experience.
I had the same problem. With my Nexus 5x and USB-C to USB cable it works, but with my Pixel 2 XL it works not, so i had to buy a new USB-C to USB cable and now it works.
Not sure what cable you are using but do not use a USB C to USB C cable, make sure its a USB c to USB a.

Ive been having issues lately too. Doesnt matter which cable i use. It will connect then disconnect over and over again. IT may be my computer but not sure how to check why it would be doing that.
Are you doing gigabytes of data? If it's just in the hundreds of megabytes transfer to Google Drive. I do that when I have files on my computer I want over to my phone and vice versa.

I had the same issue with my Pixel 2 as well and after reading through numerous forums, I figured out how to fix it. its been two days now and I am still able to transfer files via USB.
Here is what you need to do:
1) Enable developer mode by going into Settings > System About Phone > Build number and tapping a few times (5 I think!)
2) Click back and then select Advanced > Developer Options
3) Scoll down the menu until you see "Default USB configuration". Tap and then select the option you require (ie: File Transfer)
4) Click back, then scroll up the menu till you see "USB Debugging". Enable USB Debugging.
5) Connect your Pixel 2 to you laptop/PC. The phone should appear in the Devices list in 'Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers. Leave it connected for another 5 or 10 minutes and it should become available in "This PC"
6) Disconnect the Pixel2 from your laptop/PC
7) Disable "USB Debugging" and disable "Developer Mode" on the phone.
8) Reconnect the Pixel2 to your PC/Laptop. It should now appear under "This PC" every time you connect and you should now be able to view and transfer files between you PC and Pixel2.
Let me know if it works for you or not.

I had the same issue on my notebook yesterday - the phone would connect, but once I transmitted a larger file the transmission was terminated after a few seconds.
In my case it wasn't the cable, it was the USB port on my notebook! I simply used a different one and then it worked flawlessly
Thank god my notebook has 4 USB ports, I pity people with notebooks with a single USB port :laugh:

Got the same problem. Since a few days device isn't recognized on any computer. Tried serveral usb cables (they were all working before) - no success. As soon as i am connecting device to a windows computer it says "device couldn't get regonized properly". So it isn't recognized as android phone. So your method didn't work (tried all the steps before). I also remarked before, thad my device sometimes restarts as i plug in an usb cable. Mainly when connected to a pc but also serveral times only when charging. So i resetted my device back to all stock (even formated data), flashed original boot whitout twrp, no root. It's starting nice but i even can't install the update (january patch) through device. Alway gives me install error. So it isn't recognized in adb... So i can't use fastboot mode to reinstall twrp.... Any advice? Think gonna claim for replacement.... Seems a hardware problem.
Had something similar a couple of months back.
Just do a quick check with usb dac and otg. If they are not working, the component is fried. RMA.
Else, faulty cable or friend port in laptop.

As regards the attaching of files, you have to have a minimum number of posts to be able to do that.
As regards the USB, be a little more specific like what you are trying to do, which ROM you are running, whether you are rooted, what happens when you connect the phone to PC etc which will enable the members to help you.
There could be several reasons for this, but lets start with the basics.
Have you tried a different cable?
Have you selected File Transfer (MTP) from usb options?

I get a windows sound like its connecting then in the bottom right where the time is next to that is a root sign then I get a pop up saying exactly.....The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. Recommendation.. Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly. When I go to the Device Manager/Control Panel it doesnt do anything. I've tried to add adb to the path but maybe added it to wrong path now it won't come on. If there is a work around maybe to re-add to right path. Device Manager was fine before I added adb and added path as per internet search. Device Manager before would say something like error 39. I've tried MTP that doesn't get it to open up either.

I cant even root for the life of me now, Im on 8.0, I'm trying to just root the phone and to start the computer has to recognize it I understand but it won't, with my Oneplus 2 was fine,(I'm thinking maybe phone doesnt have the drivers built in to the file system, you know when you plug in and turn on MTP it shows the drivers app for Windows?) the only thing it errors plugging in.

On my son's pc running windows 10, I didn't have any issues connecting my OP3 to it and viewing files, nor did I have to install any drivers, same for Windows 7.
Hook phone to pc via usb cable.
Pull down notification bar and select "File Transfer" from usb options or go to Settings and search USB and select USB Preferences > File Transfer.
Browse phone from Window's file manager.
If still having issues, you can try and install Oneplus USB drivers, reboot pc and see if the phone can be recognized.

If you are running Win 10, you will have to disable driver signing before the correct drivers are installed. May be that was your issue.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 5X to a PC running windows 10, version 1903. The PC previously had android SDK installed and I was able to access a Nexus 5 using adb.
When I connect the phone to the PC, the device is detected and the PC says it's ready. However, the PC never asks what to do when the device is connected, the device doesn't show up in the file explorer window and in the device manager, it shows up as an "other device" with a yellow warning. If I open the properties, the status is the following:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

The phone thinks it's connected. Initially it says "charging" and I can enable "transfer files". It makes no difference on the PC.
In the settings on the phone, "select USB configuration" is set to MTP. Developer options are enabled. If I enable USB debugging, the phone switches to the MTP driver, but there is no difference on the PC.
I tried connecting the phone to another PC and it worked fine with USB debugging enabled and disabled, so the problem seems to be on the PC.
I removed android sdk and installed the latest version using android studio. I also installed the google USB drivers. This also made no difference.
Any suggestions?
