File transfer via USB not possible - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hey,
I have a problem. Since a few days I could observe that the battery drain are highly increased, up to 40% over night.
I decided to wipe my phone and flash the newest firmware MIUI10. I put a USB cable in my phone and connected it to my PC.
No response.. huh? Ok, just save my personal files via WLAN, no problem. Done.
I goes to TWRP and wiped all datas. Then I rebooted into Fastboot Mode (volume - and power), done.
I started MI flashing tool (in advance I've downloaded the firmware from officall MI website), connected my phone... nothing happenend. Tried several computers, I also tried to connect a USB device via OTG cabel in TWRP. Nothing works.
Whats going on? Any ideas? I'm really frustrated. The phone is just 6 month old, I flashed firmwares many times before. I think the problem is defective USB port.. but maybe I have just a simple logical error?
Thank you very much in advance.. and sorry for my english, I tried my best.
Best regards
René

I had a problem to transfer files, too. But it worked to adb sideload.
Is it recognized by adb?

HELP! ROM flashing related issue? On Activesync: USB Device not recognized???!!!

Hi, I have reflashed my ROM I dont know how many times. Yesterday I tried to connect via activesync on a new ROM and it wouldnt connect. These are some of the things that happened:
Device orange charging light flashes a few times then goes off [never seen THAT before]
Activesyc menu comes up on device but activesync doesnt connect
Get 'this device can perform faster' message on desktop
Sometimes get USB devce not recognized on desktop
SOmetimes device orange charging light it stays on if I plug direct into PC but still doesnt activesync
I have tried to connect as DISK DRIVE but I dont see the device on my PC.
Have tried different ROMS, 6.5, 6.51, sense 2.1 and 2.5 but all have same issue. Have also tried connecting to other computers. same issue.
Have played around with USB to PC menu options (enable / diable faster data sync etc) but doesnt make a difference.
Anyone had this problems? Thoughts?
Have you tried diselecting "ask me 1st about usb connection type when I connect the device to the pc" under USB to PC settings
It worked for me
This is the exact problem I am facing!
I tried everything - as diskdrive, activesync (with/without speedup), etc.
On many ROMs, even the original one (WM6.1)
Can't connect - every PC gives an 'unknown device' and on some ROMs I cannot charge via USB, only via mains...
I also tried without the question on connection.
Just some thoughts:
Do you have corruptions on screen sometimes? (Some graphical glitches)
Any .CAB files you cannot install?
Did you try to reflash the same ROM more than once?
tried to connect without card in the device and in flight mode? (Uses less power)
With me it started after a ROM flash from Miri... (I don't blame him!!)
The Hard SPL did not give me any problem, the radio was not flashed, just the OS. But reverting did not help.
I certainly hope you will find a solution, since I have the exact same problem!!
Do you stil know what ROM you flashed when this problem occured?
I reverted to original ROM 6.1 AND 6.5 which included everything - boot, radio, os, stardup image. But it did not change!
I figured it out after trying everything i could: i think its a hardware problem. I have dropped my devicetoo many times, or plugged it in too many times. Who knows.

And how did you figured it out? Did you return the device to the shop?
I have this exact same issue except I am on AthineOS... I thought it was my PC until I read these posts. No OS updates or any other machine updates were performed except on my device. Any clues as to a fix?
Somehow I don't think this is just hardware.
I did drop my device once, but that was even before first flash. After that it still worked.
So, some weeks later I HSPLed without any problem. After that the device still worked.
Then, after investigating which ROM to use I flashed the ROM a few days later.
Right after the first flash it all still worked. So, had to flash another and from that moment on the device cannot be reckognised by any PC.
I still think it has something to do with the flashing. I think the device does not give correct feedback when it receives some commands from PC (eg. the command to reply the device type/number)
Does anyone know a program which can check the USB port for the HTC Touch Pro 2? Just to test wheather the connector pins are ok?
download activesync 4.5 and run the setup. it will perform a repair. that usually solves the problem. if not, try a different usb cable and try plugging into different ports on your pc.

These are the first things done. And this was already written in here.
It happens with many PCs, including some on which the device never connected to.
Also tried different cables, ports, etc.
Also disabled the fast transfer etc. etc.
Even tried several other ROMs, inclusding original Dutch 6.1 and Dutch 6.5
I'm having the same issue. I can connect via bluetooth, but not usb. And I'm stuck with 6.1. I was tole my phone was brand new, but now I'm starting to think otherwise.

Some questions, to verify this is due to flashing or is a fault in the design of the device...
- Where did you get the device?
- Have you flashed the device?
- Did you accidentally drop the device?

[Q] PC Not Recognizing USB as Mass Storage

I'm currently on DK28 and anytime I plug my phone into my computer via USB cord it just shows that it's charging. This is an issue since I would like to switch to EB13 and I need to be able to use Odin for the EB13 modem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers several times and not just on this computer, on two others that I have. I've also tried multiple usb cords and it's all the same thing. I've Googled the problem and everything I've tried has been useless to me, including the PDANet thing. So my question is is there any other way for me to be able to update to an EB13 rom without having to connect via USB? Or does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can fix this? I've been just using a microSD card adapter to put things on my SD for awhile now so that's never been a problem but I can't use Odin unless my computer recognizes my phone I guess.
HELP!!

Have you gone into settings, applications, development and unchecked USB Debugging?
I also have read numerous times where people have found the USB connector on the phone had something bent and was preventing a full good connection.
Good luck
You have got to be missing something drivers can be 32 or 64 bit make sure you have the right one for your computer. Is usb debugging checked in settings/app/development. Randy Shear has alot of step by step stuff for on youtube that might help
Yeah I have USB debugging checked and my computer is 64 bit which is also what my drivers are.
Turn off anti virus and dl driver again thats what I had to do. Reboot both devices also

UN checked?? if it is checked, you can't use mass storage

Tried that too and apparently that wasn't the problem. :\
I read where one person who was having something like this was told to turn their computer off; plug in the phone to the usb and turn the computer on and it worked.
Maybe try that?
I've had this problem, got real annoying after a while. I ended up reinstalling the drivers and turning off usb debugging and it would go into mass storage. Re enabled and tried again, and it continues to work.
Thanks for trying to help guys but unfortunately neither of those things worked either.
I had this problem. I flashed a different ROM (try downloading a new ROM from the phone) then flash it after following the appropriate instructions.
The ROM I had that problem with was Nebula ROM, I fixed it by flashing Bonsai v2.0.
Well I have now tried that as well and even that didn't work. This is so ****ing annoying.

Try flashing another ROM instead of Bonsai. I hate that you're stuck, but I'd try a few more ROMs before giving it to a Sprint Store.
I had this problem as well and did everthing mentioned here as well to no avail.
Now here's what worked for me.
First, install drivers on another pc (ensure that you connect, wait for drivers to load, disconnect and reconnect your phone at least twice..sometimes a takes a couple of connects to install the drivers fully).
Next use odin to flash DK18 stock firmware. When you connect your phone..suddenly mass storage will be back again. You can then load whatever firmware you wish.
This has worked on my phone and a friend's with the same issue.
I had this happen to me on 2 different machines:
- First time: A restart fixed it
- Second time: My phone didn't like the usb ports on my work laptop's docking station. The cable would only work with the actual laptop's usb port.

[Q] USB Problems

Hey guys,
Now, my Galaxy Note 2 was rooted. When I connected it with the USB cable to my PC the PC didn't recognize it (it used too, but then suddenly it stopped connecting). It still charges but no new device is detected. No Kies, no MTP, no Odin.
I didn't worry too much, because being rooted I could still do everything using the external sd card.
However then the ROM for Android 4.3 was leaked I stupidly installed the stock version. So, no root, and no capability to mess around with the phone.. I also have no viewable option in Settings to set the device connection to MTP, or PTP mode as usual, but maybe that's because of Android 4.3
I have bought a new USB flex part, opened it and replaced it but it still didn't work.
I download a version of phoneutils.apk and installed (because the one on Android 4.3 didn't have Qualcomm USB settings option) and choose the correct options, but still nothing.
Do you have any idea what may have gone wrong? Or what I can try to do?
I desperately want to root the thing.
Thank you very much! I appreciate any suggestion and reply.
Hi!
This might sound stupid but... have you tried a different USB cable? Or USB port? Sometimes this can solve these kind of issues. Take a look in your computer's Device Manager and see if you have any problems with the USB hub driver. Also try to connect using a different PC and see if that works.
You can try and boot in Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power) and see if ODIN sees the phone. If so, you can flash another stock firmware and see if your USB works then.
Yea tried all that! No success. /:
Phone goes into download mode but Odin does not recognize it..

[Q] P6 Can't establish connection via USB - Help needed

EDIT:
Most part of that problem solved, I bought new USB socket with ribbon, and replaced it. It worked. it seems there was a cold solder near the socket. USB works now with other devices like Flash drive, mouse, etc..
Still there's a little problem - while connected to a PC, neither phone nor PC show any signs of connection.
Anyone met the same problem? I checked on to computers Win8.1 and Win7 - no response.
I tried to install some additional drivers but with no luck...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< Old >
I've got Huawei P6 and used it with a few ROMs, after flashing one I noticed android doesn't detect USB connection anymore.
It sees it as regular charger - no popup on notofication bar, no way to exchange data with PC.
Changing ROM doesn't solve the problem. I tried stock ones with no effect (installed from zip file in TWRP).
I searched over the web and found no similar case. I think rolling back to full stock could possibly help, but I'm not sure how to do it - will creating dload folder with install data be enough? does it contain all the kernels, recovery and so on - to have the software version exacly as from factory?
USB OTG doesn't seen to work now either, It all worked before. Is there a way to force-detect the connection?
Please, don't write me to check the cable or drivers or to clean the USB plug. Each double... tripple checked. Tried different cables, computers. I've no problem connecting other phones.
I'll be very greatful for help in solving this issue. Even copying a photo to a pc is a problem now...
thanks in advance

SOLVED: Lenovo P2 - Charges fine, but unable to connect via MTP/ADB/Fastboot

Hi all.
Had a bit of an accident with mine a couple of months ago where the phone had a brief dunk in the toilet.
I opened it up and checked that there was no moisture inside, and it powered up fine after 24 hours in a dry place.
I though I'd gotten away with it, but I now find that it doesn't show up as a connected device via MTP/ADB/Fastboot.
What's strange is that if I try to set USB connectivity type via developer options (MTP/PTP/Charge only etc.) it doesn't seem to allow me to set the mode. Feels like a ROM issue :-/
Any ideas? I can't be 100% certain that it's down to water damage as I didn't test connectivity straight away. It seems a bit far-fetched that water damage could have knocked out just connectivity, as everything else works fine.
Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue.
Before we try to wipe your phone to flash stock firmware, let's try some driver tweaking.
Search on Google for Qualcomm drivers. Any are fine.
Install them and try to connect again.
If that fails, be prepared to reset your phone.
Copy all your important files to your pc!
Shutdown the phone, hold volume + and - as well as power key until the logo shows up, you should now see .
Otherwise I found a video of YouTube
In there select wipe user data...good luck

Hi sm00th4f3.
Thanks for your response.
Things I've already tried are........
o Connecting the phone to multiple PCs. None 'chime' to say that a device is connected.
o Factory defaulted/wiped from recovery
o Tried reflashing the S251 OTA update file from recovery as update.zip
o Cleaned the contacts on the USB socket
o Tried different drivers
As fastboot or ADB won't see the device, I'm not able to push the image.
Is there a way of doing a full stock rom flash from the SD card via stock recovery? If so, does anyone know where to get a flashable ROM?
Thanks guys.

Somewhere on the custom ROMs ,recovery etc section there exists a thread with flashable zips for the stock recovery...there aren't many so you should find it pretty quickly. In recovery use sd card package update or some thing similar in name.
Try that. The process will take a while.
On another note, your connectors seem to be done. You might need new ones, but as long as it charges, that should be fine.
You can use AirDroid for file management like copying audio, pictures whatever you like..etc
Hi all.
Thanks to anyone that looked in.
I managed to fix the issue, but it does appear that the problem was down to water damage.
I purchased a faulty P2 from ebay for spares.
Most faulty P2s were selling for £60+ as the screens were intact, but I found one with a smashed screen and won it for just over £10.
I swapped the lower board over to my phone (micro board with USB connector and speaker attached) and was immediately able to connect via Fastboot/MTP etc.
Well happy
I've now got official Lineage 14.1 on it.
EDIT: Oh yes, and now I've got a spare battery, and a 32GB microsd card that was left in the phone
