MTP Dosent Work ON PC, Charge Only is always on. - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

For a few days now, after connecting my usb cable to the pc, i get the "connect" sound on both the PC and the Phone, but it keeps going to charge only, not MTP. I checked the Dev Options, set it to MTP, still didnt work.
I also did a factory reset, nothing. Any ideas?
Also, the notification popup for choosing the connection type via USB, no longer shows up.
EDIT: I tried multiple cables, they are not the problem.

Install again the huawei suite and try connect your phone.

I've tried all of that obvious stuff, even went trough the registary and got rid of the drivers. I need out of the box ideas.

Again, all of the USUAL stuff I've tried. One thing i have noticed, under the options where i chose what type of connection i want to have, if i change it from one to another, it dosen't update right away, i have to close the options, and reopen them to see it change.

Considering you tried the usual software stuff and that you've tried multiple cables, it may be your phone's port that's damaged or something.
If you don't have any sensible data on the phone I suggest doing a factory reset, just to discard the possibility. But if that seems like too much hassle, I would get an ftp app on the playstore to do all the data transferring between your phone and any windows machine. I personally use the solid explorer plugin.
Hope I helped!

You said you've already performed a factory reset, tried cables, tried reinstalling drivers cleanly, and tried several settings on the phone.
Have you gotten HiSuite installed? If so, does HiSuite recognize your phone at all?
Have you also tried different computers? I would figure you did since you said you tried all the obvious things....
If HiSuite gives no response at all and you've already factory reset before, I feel as though its either a hardware problem like FAFI_1999 has suggested, or it is a very deep rooted software bug (behind repair for a regular user, maybe even in kernel, plus there is no clear way of knowing where the exact problem lies at this point so we wouldn't know where to look in the first place).
In this case, best advice I could give you is to send your phone to a service center.... At least if it still falls under warranty....

Does adb see your phone?

For me it always goes to charge only and I have to manually check (or uncheck and recheck) the Files option in the notifications.

The problem is, the notification doesn't even show up, and when i go to options to change it, it dosent want to switch, it just stays the same, no matter what option i choose.

I think i know the issue and i also got the solution.
Maybe the problem is an update KB that was installed on your PC. 3 months ago, Microsoft releasead a KB update that broke MTP ( https://betanews.com/2017/03/10/microsoft-admits-mistake-pulls-problematic-windows-10-driver/ ). Read the article and do what it's recommended for your windows version.
good luck. V

If that KB update is installed, at every reinstall of USB driver its gonna install the wrong one. I had the issue on my laptop and had to uninstall the kb and then plug again the phone in to reinstall the correct usb driver.
If the bug is caused by windows, even if you don't know how it's possible, you should try to repair windows by refresh. It's a long shot, but i had a similar problem, i could not use PPPoE service because my friend unwillingly did something wrong on his laptop. I had to refresh windows to repair the network card driver and finally configure PPPoE service on his laptop.
So... refresh?
best regards, V

USB acting weird since the update.

When I connect my phone to the pc, I get no USB notification, and it doesn't charge while connected to the PC.
However, my tethering working which tells me that the USB cable is working....This happened after the CRC1 update. (I have wiped, but its still doing it)
Have you tried seeing if usb debugging is checked? Settings-->applications-->development. If all else fails try uninstalling and reinstalling the usb mass storage devicee.
What a horrible update.. in on thread to see if you find a fix for this
are you trying to use the android in usb mode? ive had a few times when my android isnt showing up so i go to the device manager and under usb i uninstalled the drivers for the mass stoage device, unplug my phone, replug it back in and let the computer install the drivers.
Just FYI, if your phone is rooted, you should NOT install OTA.... OTA's from T-Mo are disabled for a reason. You may have to go back down to RC29 if wipe, nandroid restore, or flashing don't work
Does anyone know how to block the ota thing fom continually popping up?

Yea, the weird part is that every now and then, I will get the my notification that its connected, and it will go away in 5-10 seconds...the debugging is checked. The notification is very random, however my phones tethering is still working great. Its very odd...I've tried 3 different USB cables and all 4 of my USB ports on my PC.
Wow...apparently it was a horrible coincidence, and I had 2 bad usb cables. I bought one home from my dads house, and it worked again....very strange.

[Q] Help!!! Hi guys, I've had a look around the net and asked on other forums

Hi guys, I've had a look around the net and asked on other forums, but can't seem to find the answer to my problems, so someone recommended here.
Apologies, if this has already been covered, but I did have a search and couldn't find what I was looking for.
I think I have two problems, don't know if they are related, but don't think so.
Problem 1:
Got the Galaxy S for my daughter for Christmas. She has never been able to log in to the android marketplace. She was using the her google log in which wasn't a gmail account. Today I signed her up a gmail account, and tried again and got the following error message:
You don't have a network connection.
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when connected to a mobile network, or connect to a wi-fi network. If the problem continues, call customer care.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone is definitely connected the net by wi-fi, which I have proved to be working correctly.
Problem 2:
To try and solve problem 1, I thought I would see if the firmware was up-to-date, however, I can't get the phone to connect to Kies. I have tried on two different laptops, one running Vista and one Windows 7. It seems to be saying it's some kind of driver problem. I have clicked on install drivers on Kies, but it makes no difference.
I have made sure the phone is selected Kies. I have also tried selecting mass storage and connecting through My Computer, but still it doesn't recognise the phone.
I believe the phone's firmware is out of date, as it is 2.1 update 1 and I believe 2.2 is available.
Apologies for the long post, can anybody help me to get Kies and marketplace working?
I am not interested in jailbreaking the phone, as it's for my daughter.
The phone is a contract phone, in the UK with orange. I have made sure orange safe guard is not active.
Thanks in advance, if you need anymore infor, i will try and supply it.
Any idea's?
Bump.
Can anybody help or is the best option to try a factory restore / take it back to the shop?
Well there is alot of tread that explain how you connect to kies.
If you can use internet then it should work.
Have you try to power of the phone and wait 5 minutes and then power it on?

I have got the market place working by doing a factory restore, but for the life of me, I can't get the phoned connected to Kies to do a firmware update.
I have tried on 4 different laptops.
1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
2. Windows 7 Home Basic.
3. Windows Vista.
4. Windows XP.
and I can't get it to connect on any of them.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing Kies. I have tried using different usb wires and ports. Phone charges by usb when plugged in.
I have tried connecting the phone in both Kies mode and Mass Storage mode.
The error I keep getting seems to be a driver error:
Device Driver software was not successfully installed.
Please consult your device manufacturer for assistance in getting this device installed.

Are you using a USB hub? If so don't . Plug it straight into the rear USB of your computer.
Do you have Bluetooth active? Turn it off.
Are you using any other Home than the one it came with (the screen you see when you first turn it on)? Go back to the stock TW Launcher
In the Kies Tools menu click on Install Driver and then try again after it's finished.
Finally if it is still not connecting leave it plugged in and go into device manager. If the drivers show up there they should be listed as Samsung i9000 if I remember then right click and un-install drivers then unplug phone and plug it back in after a few moments.
Also use the cabel that did come with.the phone.

Root not working after ICS (ADB can't see it)

So I just updated my Bionic to ICS, YAY!
But, root isn't working, BOO! :crying:
I am relatively knowledgeable in this stuff; it is both my profession and my hobby. Investigating this issue has led me to believe that my problem is that the ADB interface does not show up in device manager (Mass Storage, MTP, and PTP mode have the same result) on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. When the device is connected in AP fastboot, however, the driver does show up and works fine. Additionally, when I try to manually add the driver, it fails to start (code 10).
What does show up, however, is the Motorola USB Networking Driver (MTP only), under network adapters.
The upgrade to ICS was performed with SamuriHL's HoB (ADB), and in an effort to resolve this issue, I did it again with HoB (Fastboot).
Can somebody please help?
Thanks,
Overkill
EDIT: I downloaded the SDK and ADB still doesn't list my device. I do know that the IP used by the Motorola driver is 192.168.137.2 for my device (.1 for my PC) and that "adb connect 192.168.137.2" fails to connect on the default port (maybe another port?)
Thanks again! I feel naked and powerless without my root =(
Do you have USB debugging enabled under Developer Options?
Yes, I do. I have tried disabling/re-enabling it as well to no avail.
I appreciate the KISS approach, but I've gone over the checklist on every how-to and I am confident that nothing is missing.
I tried the phone on another computer and with several different USB cables and no luck. I have all 64-bit machines, but I can also try my XP VM and maybe that'll behave properly ^_^ Or an actual XP machine at one of my jobsites that still won't pay to upgrade their equipment from 2002.

I had this problem, reinstalling latest Motorola device manager fixed it for me.
No go on that either.
I gave up and did a factory restore, it's working fine now. Going to analyze the scripts used by House of Bionic and see if it's possible to work backwards and see if there was a way to do it without losing data, for posterity's sake.

You have to remember to reboot with the phone in all the different connection modes for multiple different drivers loaded.

Weird. FDR only kills user settigns and user apps - so, it seems like there was an app that was blocking ADB access. Which is extremely strange, b/c that should not happen, unless you have some sort of firewall on the BIONIC itself (or else something like DroidSheppGuard running).

Not always true - you may need to reboot the phone. I can switch from any mode to any other mode and the connection pops up within 5 seconds every time. Of course, I'm running Win 7 Ult x64, and I only use the direct connect ports on my computer, no hubs, no USB 3 ports, and I never install the Motorola Device Manager software, only the direct USB drivers that I extract from the installer myself. Any one of those may be a factor in why it works for me, or some combination thereof.
However, I do know that I am not the only one for whom the switching works without rebooting either computer or phone....

[Q] M7 no USB Connection, can't Shutdown

Hi guys,
I'm facing a weird problem. Hope someone could help me out.
Phone is One M7, Lollipop 5.0.2, windows 7-64bit.
To make it short and clear, here are the symptoms:
1- Shutdown always restarts phone, can't turn it off.
2-Phone not detected when connected to laptop, i tried all there is to try mentioned on XDA
3-When connected to Laptop, after some time, the USB icon in status bar appears and never gets off even after disconnecting from laptop, only goes away after restart.
I guess all the above are somehow related but can't find any of solutions working. I tried everything.
Drivers install-unistall-reinstall, USB prot cleaning, 5 cables and USB ports, safe mode on phone, malware scan on laptop, etc...
It used to work before, other phones get detected by laptop....now I'm stuck and can't do any thing through laptop connection....no ADB, no file transfer, no backup to laptop, nothing.
Does anybody have any idea of what more I could do? What's left is a factory reset that I am keeping as a last resorts, if it would help, because i don't want to lose my app data.
Appreciate any input from you guys.
Thanks.

Thanks Alray for your reply.
It doesn't turn off from bootloader also...it restarts !!
What's keeping me from the factory reset is that all backup apps that can make app data backup (Helium, or ADB backup command) require a pc connection.
So I'm kind of stuck here.
I hope that someone as experienced as yourself would have any ideas to try.

Although I never had battery or display changed (never sent to maintenance before at all), I will try to do what you mentioned.
I understand from the picture you posted that the screw driver is pointing to the loose cable connection, right?
Thanks again.

MTP Connection Problem on Mi5

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to connect my Mi5 with my PC using MTP connection (i'm on Ubuntu). The problem is that I can see the device connected and mounted but i can't copy anything from it. It always crashes. Strange thing I can copy files from pc to the device without any problem, but if i try to copy something from the device to my pc it always says " libtmp: Could not get file from device."
I've also tried with windows, but nothing changed. i cannot copy or transfer any type of file.
While googling around i've found that this might be an Android 6.0 related problem rather that a MIUI one.
But i've also tried a possible solution that has been proposed which consists in changing a configuration under developer option and switch it back but it didn't work.
here's the steps i've followed:
Open Settings
Enable Developer options:
Go to About phone (or tablet)
Scroll to the bottom
Tap Build number repeatedly. After several taps you will see it count down and then say "You are now a developer!"
Back to Settings
Tap Developer options, near the bottom
Scroll down to and tap Select USB Configuration
Change it to Charging only
Tap Select USB Configuration again
Change it back to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)
I don't know how to proceed.
If someone can help me it would be great!

How long do you have to tap build number?` nothing happens here :/
Edit.
Found it tapping Miui rather than build version, but cant find the USB configuration after being in developer mode.
@zofox I don't have a solution but can confirm the problem.
On WIndows 10 latest release, it's working like a charm.
When I connect the Mi 5 to a Usb 2 or Usb 3 port on Ubuntu (same computer) it does nothing, only charging works.
So that means: I am not sure if it's a problem with Ubuntu, your PC or both!

I'm using a dell XPS13 2015 and it doesn't work neither on windows or ubuntu
right now i'm using ftp to comunicate but it's pretty annoying also the fact that i can copy stuffs from pc to mi5 but not the opposite it's pretty strange ...
It might be the USB port(s) in question: check if the port used is on some external controller or part of the PCH/southbridge (i.e. part of the motherboard); next up, try direct ports instead of through USB hubs (if any in between). Other than this, I have no further idea.

Seems like it was a cable related problem ?
Changed it and everything works like a charm ?
Mods can close the discussion ?

First go to settings, then click the option 'about phone'.
Then click on 'miui version' several times until u become the developer.
Then go back to settings and find the 'developers option' in the 'additional settings' .
Afterwards look for the 'usb configuration' option in the 'networking' section.
There select the 'mtp' option
This worked very well for me and solved all my problem
change the cable works like a charm, thanks!! you guys save my semester.
This works like a charm to me. Only one thing I have noticed is, in my phone(Mi5) Developer options comes under Additional settings of systems& Device section.

Thanx bro
I was facing the same issue in redmi note 5 pro.
I had same on Redmi 5 (rosy), my 'solution' was to drag drop down down, tap Android System and change from 'Charge this device' to 'Transfer files'. I was expecting a pop up when I connected the cable to select what I wanted to do, none came.
