Hi folks, Wonder if anyone can help, when I plug the phone into my PC I'm unable to see any folders under the devise. It's just empty. Have tapped 'File Transfer' etc. I've never had this issue with a phone before. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe is because of the encryption.
I have my phone encrypted and I can see the content and sync files with PC.
Turn on Developer Options and change USB configuration to MTP.

Hi, daughters back so just tried. Under default USB configuration I have the following options: File transfer, USB tethering, MIDI, PTP and no data. When File transfer is checked I see Mi A2 Lite but just says it's empty. When I select PTP I see an Unknown under Mi A2 Lite drive which once clicked on is also empty. USB debugging is set to on too (if that makes any diffs) Many thanks in advance.
Update: There was something completely wrong with the phone. Didn't seem to recognise internal memory. Factory reset and it seems to have sorted itself out.
If this happens again follow these instructions:
Right click on My computer, select the Devices and then search for your device with a triangle icon which shows it has problem.
Try to manually update the drivers and search for the USB-MTP drivers.
When the drivers update then the memory will open to your file explorer.
Sorry for my bad English because it's not my mother tongue, but this solution helped me with all the phones that had the same problem. It's a really disturbing problem in Windows which will occur again in the future and you just have to follow these instructions all the time.

Hello my friend
I cant understand the D855 while trying to connent it to my PC.
I have installed all the drivers and PC suite
When I connect it with the usb cable- its makes the desired sounds - seems that everything is ok!
even V green mark that the driver installed is shown.
But, the most important- I cant see the Drive shown when I open "my computer" on PC
Dont have access to folders and files.
I tried more then everything
Change to MTP
Debuuging mode
Change some usb cable
I already make a hard reset.
The main problem is with morelocal 2 language.
In order to make the app change a language- I must connect it to the PC.
So
what do you think the problem is ?
Is there any way to install another rom without connection to PC ?
Thank you so much

Well, I have kinda the same problem. My G3 isn`t recognizied by my pc or laptop in any way beside that sound it makes if you connect an usb device to it. It doesn`t shows up in the explorer or the device manager no mater how many times I install the drivers. I also tried to change the mode from MTP to PTP and anything else that is there. I resetted it a few times but nothing. Debugging mode also didn`t change anything. And of course I can`t flash a stock firmware because the Flash Tool won`t recognize my phone. What also is strange on my phone, if I disconnect my phone from my pc, my phone is still "charging" and it doesn`t change until I reboot.
I`m open for any suggestions which could solve this problem.
My G3 is a European modell, with 32GB. Current version is V30C and it was rooted with kingroot for this "two apps on screen" thing.

Change the option to File Transfer from the popup/notification on your phone when you connect it to the PC. It works for me.
EDIT: If it still doesn't change, check the adb drivers.

i am not getting any popup.
Check the sliding switch on the right hand edge of the op3 is "down" to allow ALL notifications. There are plenty of "install OP3 drivers" videos on Youtube. Windows drivers are also on the phone.
This should still work - the drivers are also supplied on the phone. Doing nothing other than connecting a op3 to a windows pc should cause a cd drive to appear in Windows Device Manager and in File Explorer (look under "This PC") for "CD Drive (drive letter: OnePlus Drivers" . Double Click the icon and run "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe". If you are running a recent version (and clean installed in the last few months) of W10 Pro then you may hit driver signing issues
I can no longer transfer files from my phone to my computer over USB.
If I boot into recovery I can transfer files just fine and the computer recognize my phone, but in Lineage it does not work.
I choose "transfer files" in the drop down menu, nothing.
I activated ADB, did not help.
If I plug and unplug my USB I hear the USB connected sound in Windows. But there is no phone showing up and I cannot access it to transfer files.
In device manager I see the phone under USB connections, looks fine.
One thing looks faulty though.
In device manager "Portable devices"
"MTP"
It says
"Reinstall the drivers for this device. (Code 18)"
I have reinstalled drivers many times, but it always end up like that.
What to do?
It always worked fine before until I updated Lineage in June last summer, after that USB file transfer never worked unless phone was in Recovery mode.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
This thread is not the newest, but maybe this helps anyone: I had the same thing when I flashed the wrong version of vendor/firmware for my Pocophone F1. Also Wifi wasn't working. The newest version fixed all of this.
Try this workaround:
Open the Developer Options
Tap on Default USB Configuration (or something like that)
Choose USB File Transfer
---
Whilst transferring files, don't let the screen switch off, keep it awake, i.e. with youtube.

Yeah, this is a dirty workaround, but the only alternative I've found so far is to activate the USB debugging option (developer mode) to transfer my files with the "adb push" command.

It would be really good if u upload logs, people can't read your mind, finding errors based on description is really hard.

Even if this post is old, this is my solution. I post it now because someone could need it every time in future, because wanting to re-use an old phone with lineageOS.
it's quite simple,
1) I've just search on Internet for the following words "lge android net MTP" (my phone is LG, so change the first word with your phone's brand)
2) I've downloaded the Win10 driver from LG and installed it
3) when looking at devices manager (Win+Pause shortcut), the warning device has disappear)
Hope to help somebody with that
Even now there are people trying to solve the mystery and solve the USB file transfer issue.
My solution to the problem was very simple, the second I shut off the USB debugging mode in developer tools it magically appeared on my PC.
I have the s3 mini GT-I8190N running the android 7.1.2 Pie-Nougat version
Fix USB file transfer for LineageOS 17
Go to Developer Option > Default USB Configuration > File Transfer
I flashed Lineage OS 17.1 onto an LG G5 and have the same problem.
Plug in the usb to my computer and the device does not pop up in "This PC". Windows does give the sound of something being plugged in.
Changing to usb file transfer doesn't work. Turning off usb debugging mode doesnt work.
Uninstalling the LG drivers doesnt work.

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.

For some reason it's working now don't know what the problem was or even if it was something I did. Either way it's fixed.

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.
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?
