Redmi Note 3 cannot connect to PC

Hi Guys.
I have one Redmi Note 3 and I am having a problem to connect it to my pcs.
Before everything was ok. I connected the USB cable and I could transfer files between my pc and the Redmi Note 3 using My Computer.
Now, I connect the Note 3 and I cannot see the storage anymore. So, it's impossible to copy anything between pc or note 3.
I checked with several cables and different ports and in two different pcs. I cannot connect with MIPC Suite either. The Note 3 recharges normally.
I believe it's a driver version problem.
I am using Windows 10 and MIUI 7.1.6.0 Stable Version.
Thanks for all help.

Check if the drivers are updated to win10
The best way is to download them from miui.com or mi.com

Thanx mate..

Go to the Setting> Additional Setting and look for the "developer options"
if you cant see that option, go to the Setting> About phone and tap five times on "MIUI version", you'll see a little popup message "you a developer now", then go to Setting> Additional > Developer options and enable "developer options" and "USB debugging"

Hey Guys, even i faced the same problem but it got fixed so easily than i ever thought . As soon as you connect your phone to laptop using data cable, you will find an option called " Touch for more option" in your phone, when you touch on that option, it will prompt you with three option > Charging only , Thasfer files (MTP) and Transfer photos (PTP), when you click on these you will be able to see Internal storage, then you can copy paste whatever files you want Hope it helps.

Even after usb debugging, i can not see the storage in my pc

I had same issue with my Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime as i can not get it to connect to my PC but got it fixed .
1. enable developer option and enable USB debugging
2. reinstall MTP driver on windows using wpdmtp.inf in windows folder while your phone is connected

Same problem here.. LG doesnt take care of such things.. no wonder Samsung is taking the market..

I just connected my AT&T v20 to my aliensware 15r2 laptop and was able to import my pics with no issues setting my phone to ptp. Then to access both the internal storage and sd card through file manager I set phone to mtp.
I did nothing special just plugged in phone to laptop and selected what setting on the phone. Oh and running win 10. So don't think its the phones software but maybe your computer missing certain drivers or something. So hope this helps

I had a problem on my Win 7 laptop. It connected, loaded drivers and opened as a removable drive. However, as I continued using the ?, my mouse started to register my clicks as drags and did so until I unplugged the ? .
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.

hmm. i still haven't been able to get it to work. might try using the LG PC suite pc app to connect over wifi

Anyone have issues after applying liquid spray for a screen protector? I just finished applying and now whenever I connect the phone LG V20 it still thinks its connected to usb. I restarted phone and it went into update firmware connection screen. I had to get into recovery and clear dalvik and cache and it rebooted and everything is working again. I transferred files from PC and again the same issue. Could it be liquid damage? Or is this something else? Thank you.

You'll need to turn on the Developer Option and then scroll down to Select USB Configuration > MTP > ok This is what I did to enable my desktop to read my LG V20 SD Card and memory.

Could it be a cable issue? I was warned once.
In fact, looks like nothing happens on my pc but I can browse the internal memory n sd card.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - it crowd
Seriously That was the solution for me... (Oh, I miss that show so much )

i have connection problems myself but i was forced to do a hard reset after my touch screen failed and ehen ever i try to connect to pc i get device malfunctioned message and cant connect to pc and theres no was of changing to mtp or anything if i cant get intot he phone as far as i know if you have any ideas on pls let me know

what is recommended way to transfer media files from Nexus 10 to Win PC

I finally retired my ASUS Tf700 and now have a N10 running CM 13-20160712 Nightly. So far I am loving the N10 but have never run a device with a custom ROM.
I have large media file on the N10 that I want to transfer to a Win 7 PC.
I connected the N10 to my PC and it shows under devices but there are no files visible...no driver??
I tried using Bluetooth but Win needs a driver but I have not installed one as I don't know how nicely plays with CM.
I have done a bit of searching but everything I find seems to relate to either stock ROM or is part of the process of customising...loading ABD DRIVER??
By now you will have realised I am an Android Numpty:crying:
I gather a can use an OTG cable and normal Thumb drive or one with a micro USB at one end and standard USB at the other.
I am happy to work my way through whatever is the best solution but I am having trouble deciding which way to go and would like some advice.

I prefer win shared folder and Total Commander + Lan plugin for it on Nexus. On any android device in fact.
When you connect your device to pc there is a choice on android. Slide from up to down to show how usb will work. Sometimes it connects like for charging mode only.

Funny, but just restock my nexus and have the same problem. Win 7, there is only "Android ADB Interface" and no device in My Computer.
Enabling USB debugging on android helped here.

And finally right answer just found
1. Enable USB debugging: Go to phone settings -> About -> Tap build number repeatedly until developer menu is enabled. Go there and tick USB debugging.
2. On your PC, go to your device manager (when the Phone is plugged in and set to MTP), locate the phone, right click on it -> properties
3. go to the Driver tab
4. click Update Driver
5. click Browse my Computer for driver software
6. click Let my pick...
7. select USB Composite Device
8. finish up with the assistant
then reinsert device to USB.

MY OP5 is not recognized by my computer..

MY OP5 is not recognized by my computer..I have tried installing the USB drivers and restarting my computer ..kindly help..im using windows 10

Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/oneplus-5-recognised-windows-10-t3627051
Selecting file transfer instead of charging only, in the dropdown menu, did it for me. After that reboot was necessary for recognition.

also try install win 10 media feature pack, just install right version like win 10 pro N version 1703 etc, i had this problem and this worked for me
after that select phone drop menu to mtp

all you need to do is go into development mode and go down to networking and find USB configuration.

MTP would let your computer see the phones internal storage.

Windows 10 File Explorer doesn't find my phone

Hey XDA, pretty much like the title says. This is the first time I have this issue, before it was always plug it in and press the transfer files option and autoplay would pop up. Now Windows informs me that “Android is ready for use” but there is no way to find the device in File Explorer.
I hooked up my A1 to my laptop which did work properly so the problem is definitely on this PC’s end. I’m running latest version of Windows 10 Pro N 64. So far I’ve tried changing cables, different USB ports, rebooted both my PC and Phone. I also installed ADB Setup 1.4.3. The phone charges fine.
In device manager under Other Devices it says MTP with an exclamation sign, I’m unable to find drivers for this thing through auto search. There’s also ADB Interface under USB Devices which has up to date drivers.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly the same here, under windows 10, MTP device not supported in the windows devices panel, i'm running ressurection remix rom....

When I first got my A1 I used Helium to restore my apps, I found it would only connect if I selected MIDI in the phones drop down.

This happens. Just use update driver and manually select the MTP driver from the list.

go to your notifications, tap the usb option and select transfer files. works great for me.
