Can't get OTG to work or show up. - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Questions & Answers

So I put this phone away for quite a while, I recently took it out to use with my USB c earpiece from Xiaomi, but it wasn't connecting. So I tried plugging in a USB C Otg thumbdriver, it too did not show up.
I was running Pixel Experience when it had treble support. But given I thought it might be at play for why it's not detected, I wiped and reinstslled miui through TWRP. However after doing that it still didn't work. So I tried to see if TWRP could detect a USB C thumbdriver, it too didn't detect. I resorted to using Mi Flash tool to Flash the stock firmware of Mi Max 2, but still doesn't work.
Anyone know what I could possibly do to get it to work? Thanks

I have a similar issue not same. Similarly my phone stopped detecting usb flash disk on otg. Below is what i did,
To understand if your usb port is malfunctioning, connect your phone to PC and try to communicate through ADB interface. If it goes well than your configuration somewhere deep there sucks (which is my case) or else you have a hardware problem.

USB connection to PC not working

My phone was working perfectly until a few days ago when I noticed that USB connection to PC stopped working. I was running imilkas CM9 v2. USB used to work perfectly and then randomly, it just stopped working, I don't have a clue what caused it because I did not flash anything on the phone.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device.
I've tried 3 other computers with the drivers and the same issue (1 comp with xp and the others with win 7). Also, not to mention, I've tried multiple USB cables, including the original. I've tried USB Debugging on and off, doesn't make a difference.
I've tried ADB and it does not recognize the device either.
In CWM when I mount USB storage, it does not work.
In download mode, when I plug in the cable, nothing happens, odin does not detect any connection.
USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone.
Here is a list of things I've already tried to fix the issue:
1. Factory Reset.
2. Used Mobile Odin, reverted to my Phone's Stock GB ROM (KK2). On stock GB, I tried Kies Air and that worked fine, but USB connection had the same issue
3. Formatted the Internal Storage
4. Removed the SIM Card and Micro SD card, still no luck.
5. re-installed CWM (without pc)
6. Installed Paranoid Android 0.2
7. Called Samsung... They said they wont service my phone because I'm located in Canada and I have the International Note. They told me I'd have to take it to the country I bought it from.
If anyone can offer any help that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Phone used to work perfectly fine before. Already flashed original rom, it did nothing. And I've already talked to Samsung. They won't help me.
I've already mentioned that in my op! I would be nice to hear suggestions/solutions other than the ones I've mentioned.
Can anyone please help me out with this? I even tried cleaning the usb port a bit more, but no avail. I am guessing the file that recognizes a PC connection got corrupted some how. Anyone know how to update or replace that?

[Q] [q] USB BRICK - Devs PLZ HELP!!!

USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone. I've searched this issue and I believe its called a USB BRICK
[THINGS I'VE TRIED THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE]
1. Factory Reset.
2. Used Mobile Odin, reverted to my Phone's Stock GB ROM (KK2). On stock GB, I tried Kies Air and that worked fine, but USB connection had the same issue. Also tried Stock ICS via Mobile Odin
3. Formatted the Internal Storage
4. Removed the SIM Card and Micro SD card, still no luck.
5. re-installed CWM manually (without pc)
6. Tried various different roms in the development section
7. Called Samsung... They said they wont service my phone because I'm located in Canada and I have the International Note. They told me I'd have to take it to the country I bought it from.
8. Replaced the micro USB hardware component inside the phone (bought it from ebay)
9. Tried a Jig to see if it recognizes that and it booted me into download mode but doesn't recognize the USB connection to PC.
I've been struggling with this issue for the past 2 months and have gotten sick of this issue.:crying: I've tried all that was possible based on my knowledge and now I need some serious help. I've posted this issue in the Q&A before and about 3 people responded with suggestions that I had already mentioned in thread. I believe this issue might be caused by a file that has gotten corrupted on the phone because i've even replaced the hardware (usb port) and it didn't change anything. If anyone can offer any help/suggestions that would be great. Sorry for making this such a long post but I really need some help and wanted to give as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I had that same problem before, it's really frustrating having tried so many stuff before finally I gave up and went to service center to replace the usb hardware module, which solves the problem. When I asked them why it happened and how to prevent that same thing to happen again, they didn't answer.

I am well versed in replacing hardware components myself. The usb module I bought from ebay does exactly the same thing as the original one. It too charges but does not recognize PC connectivity which means it wasnt the usb module which was defective, its something else!
I would love to send it in for repair, but Samsung WON'T service my phone because I live in Canada and they do not sell the international Note here. When I called them they told me to take it to where I bought it from (which was in UAE). Since I am not going there and have no plans to go there, I am stuck with a phone that can't be warrantied!
Any one know how to fix this issue?
Maybe what you need is just to replace the usb cable... Who knows? (trying-to-help mode).

I've tried multiple different cables, including the original, in multiple different usb ports! nothing works.
I appreciate the suggestions tho
Try another set of driver from Samsung.
The set in the file from link below works perfectly for me:

If it does not work then, maybe, try to change rom. Load a custom rom.zip to external sdcard and flash using CWM.
cheers.
I had the somewhat similar problem, few days back and started a thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732686
Ok here is the solution. It worked for me. Hope it helps someone
1. download latest version of kies for PC
2. uninstall previous kies (if any) and install new one.
3. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. (Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.)
4. Plug the USB cable.

Hmm it looks like your issue was different.. at least you were getting some sort of message that you connected your phone. When I connect it to the computer, its as if nothing happened. I've even tried linux and its just that the phone isnt recognizing its connected to a computer, it thinks its connected to a charger.
I tried your suggested solution, still no avail!

if you have CWM installed, just boot into CWM Recovry >

turn off the phone, remove battery for 3 mins and than reboot normally. Let us know, if it works.

I faced a similar problem a few days ago. Here's what I did :
Try cleaning micro usb port by rubbing alcohol using paper strips. They should be thin enough so that you can clean both top and bottom part of the port.Then let it dry under the sun or by itself.Make sure that you don't blow any air into the port else condensation may occur.
By the way, is it monsoon season there in Canada ?

Almost same situation here from the highlighted above. when I plug my charger in the usb it just charge the phone and PC cannot detect it. Also, it only charge the phone when i reboot it. If I unplug the charger while the phone is on, and plug the charger back, it will not charge. However, when I insert the usb cable in my phone, there is a notification in my phone which says "usb connector connected" but the PC cannot detect my phone for mass storage, as well as for Kies and Odin.
My usb port was already replaced by Samsung but same problem still occurs. It could be a software/configuration related issue. Or could it be a usb brick? Pls help.
have you tried to put the phone in download mode and checked if odin is able to detect the phone.. what rom are you on.. have you tried to flash a stock rom ?

[HELP] Bricked phone while updating to Pie

So, I tried to update to Pie.
I was on Stock Oreo rooted without encryption.
Wiped everything except sdcard, installed Pie and the boot img for encryption fix.
Rebooted to TWRP, flashed the zip from verity fix, flashed latest Magisk.
Rebooted to system, stuck with the dots rotating.
Tried to redo it again, adding the step for the firmware flash.
But when wiping i accidentally wiped sdcard too, so I have no more the required files inside TWRP.
Tried to connect both TWRP and bootloader via adb/fastboot but phone is not recognized.
All the drivers are installed it always worked before (Win7).
Now everytime I try to connect the 3T to PC it says Unknown Device in Device Manager, but all the drivers are installed.
Apparently the phone is not sending its data, because in device properties i see VID & PID = 0000.
Trying to manually attach a driver to it (with right click, update driver) gives error, no driver available for the device (using any adb drivers .inf).
So basically now I'm stuck with a phone without files in it, but with only TWRP working.
How can I send the rom files without adb/fastboot? Any trick?
I also tried to use USB OTG from TWRP but apparently any usb stick is not recognized.
Tried different USB ports and different cables. Seems like a problem with the phone usbC port, not sure.
It's an hard brick at this point?
Just go with the Qualcomm factory restore mode/tools. Turn off phone, hold volume up while connecting phone to PC, install the drivers for the Qualcomm 9008 device and then run the factory recover tool. You can find out all this in the factory restore thread, just make sure you have the 3t and not the normal 3 as they have different firmwares for the hardware.
Skickat från min ONEPLUS A3003 via Tapatalk
Format the device in latest TWRP and reboot it back to TWRP then connect the USB cable to PC. It should ideally recognize your 3t. I never had any issue while recognizing the phone in TWRP menu.
if nothing helps, the final step is obviously try he Qualcomm factory restore mode/tools.

I already tried that too. It always appear as unknown device, even with that method.
Just to be clear, I never had problem before and I already used TWRP mount and fastboot/adb to load files without having a running ROM. I was always able to move file with any of them.
This is different, it seems like an hw problem, the phone it's not sending his IDs when connecting to CP so the PC can't identify what it is even if drivers are installed.
Now, I'm not sure if the problem lies in the physical USBC port or if the failed Pie upgrade ruined somethin in the bootloader or something else.
Then I'd say broken USB cable, have you tried with another cable or a shorter cable?

Tried many cables, ports and PCs.
I also tried to clean the port with a wooden stick without luck.
At this point i believe it's the usbC port or the motherboard.
I think something at the USB MTP level went faulty, because charge works fine (dash charge too).
I just can't transfer files anymore. Not even with an OTG dongle.
Since there is no other way to trasnfer the ROM zip (network is not available inside TWRP) I requested an RMA and tomorrow OnePlus send a carrier to pick it up for repair.
I have not still updated the device. I am on custom ROM. After reading your problem I am scared to install it on my device.
I think it is better to go to stock completely with locked bootloader with 5.0.8 and then accept update. After that, I can unlock the bootloader and root the device.
i just recently had this problem dude, not even 20 mins ago, find and use a diffrent usb cable/port or if u have a usb hub use that along with ur new cable, it finally worked after hours of countless tries

Don't worry, if the USB port is working you can always recover. Just be sure your PC recognize the device first, in case anything happens.

I've been trying for the whole day with 5 different cables, 4 different PC and every usb port of them. I just didn't try with an hub because i don't have one, but i don't think it makes any difference. Anyway the phone i ready to be send for repair now.
if that's ur lat hope, go for it, but the specific cable i used was a belkin usb cable from walmart, u should also update ur adb drivers, if i could id let u use my pc lol

Nah its not the cable or drivers, I test roms every 1/2 months and always been fine with uploading files with adb, fastboot or MTP. Nothing changed. Must be some hardware issue.
Oneplus already sent me the shipment code and i'm waiting for UPS to pick up the package today.

Cannot connect One Plus 3t to PC, not showing up on device manager

So basically I searched everywhere and found many people with this issue.
I tried everything everyone said.
From installing the drivers, to turning on developer mode.
Also fastboot mode is not working.
I hope my is not a hardware issue. I tried a new cable with the same results.
Anything else I can try?
I have been using FTP to transfer files but I want to root my phone and I can't.

The last time I read about someone having a similar problem it was resolved by using an original cable. But I can't find the thread where this was discussed.

Just to rule it out, after you connect your cable are you seeing the Notification with USB options and have you selected 'Data Transfer', (or whatever it's called)?
If you are seeing the Notification and the PC still can't see the device, uninstall whatever Drivers and ADB packages you currently have installed. Download the ADB package from Google and, when prompted, say 'yes' to installing the Drivers.
Make sure you try all your available USB ports.
Are there any Yellow exclaimation marks in Device Manager? Do you have the most recent Motherboard drivers from your Manufacturers website?

If you have a can of compressed air, try blowing out the USB port. There may be debris up there. It does sound like a Hardware problem. You really need to try it on another PC to know for sure.
You don't have any issues when charging?

So, I still have this issue and I wasn't able to solve it. Pretty much the phone only charges, doesn't get recognized by any computer. I also tried my laptop and same thing happens. How do I find out if it's a hardware issue?

You can connect your PC to your phone without cables using ADB over wifi provided your phone is rooted and on the same wifi network as your PC.
I know this won't solve your hardware problem but it does allow you to move files between your PC and your phone using ADB.
Note that this doesn't work in recovery or fastboot modes.
Here's how:
On the phone using Terminal
su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
On the PC in a command terminal
adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
...
adb disconnect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the phone's IP address
To set the phone back to normal (optional)
On the phone
su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd

You could also try using flash drive via OTG. This won't help you connect to PC/Laptop in any way, but could at least progress a bit that the phone hardware is okay for data part.

I think this is the problem , the phone dont comes to mtp so dont "have" a device in windows to connect , with this im unable to make root and do anything in fastboot because my phone lock to usb only for charge

You need to use QPST.
Also you didn't need to open the phone, that step is outdated.
Go ahead and read up on installing all of the needed drivers and as long as your phone is linked to you. That is you have the phone registered to your MiCloud account this issue should be fixable.
I dont have a lot of time today or tomorrow. but I am willing to try and help you figure this issue out.

This could be an issue with the PC...happens all the time.
If the battery is not completely dead, or if the usb port is not completely fried you should be able to at least see the port.
It's also possible that you are not in EDL.
Simply Flashing the EU rom over Global will not brick your phone, I have done that myself many times. Was your bootloader unlocked? If not then you will probably need to take it to a Xiaomi Service center.
Does the phone mac any vibrations when pressing and holding both the volume up and down ( at same time along with the power button?
Have you tried alternate usb c cables?
If you have a newer computer with usb 3.0 ports you will need to use a Usb hub., which will downgrade the connection to usb 2?
Is ADB Installed on this computer along with generic android drivers?
is the computer up to date?
Have you tried an alternate user and are you using the admin account?
If you have a device that uses linux, see if Linux will see the phone.
If you have tried everything, and you still you see the phone, and the phone has not been exposed to an extreme amount of force or to water. It may be that your usb card in the phone is fried or there is a short in the internal usb flex cable. ( It's the wire that connects the usb card to the motherboard.
You can Google the steps to make your own deep flash cable, that would help rule things out much faster.
I am going to sleep now. Good Luck.
@tsongming Do you know why he bricked his phone? I mean he just flashed .eu.

The EU rom does not lock the bootloader, the developers actually removed the bit of code that will allow MiFlash to lock the bootloader. Whenever leaving or returning to Miui, storage must be formatted.
The problem with these custom roms for the Mi8 is that These mi8 developers do not work together ( like most do, on other threads) These developers are always fighting and arguing and accusing each other of stealing their code, while they do it themselves and they all have their own way of doing things. Ideally every rom should use the same device tree, firmware and vendor...The basics! But no, everyone does things differently.
I would suspect that your phone bricked due to firmware encryption or just corruption. Even though it seems that it can't be fixed, you will surely be able to fix it eventually.
Many people were eventually able to solve this exact issue in the past with success. so start with the basics., and dont give up when or if it fails, just try again on a different device, and be sure to disable Windows defender. Because it's possible you could have your computer setup in a way that it will make this process harder to resolve, temporarily disable the antivirus and firewall etc.
Download the All in One tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/tool-tool-one-driverstwrpfactory-t3895807 If it gets flagged, and completely disabled. then your computer is helping contribute to this issue.
If you can successfully install and open the tool, use it to update adb and android drivers and to apply system wide adb access. Next manually setup the phone , even if it claims to not see a fastboot device. and attempted to remove encryption. if this fails find a Linux machine to complete these tasks.
See if you can leave EDL, by pressing and holding the power and volume down. >>>>> Even if you dont see the fastboot screen the computer may see the phone in fastboot.
I definitely believe that you will have a easier path to getting this issue resolved sooner by using linux. If you can "format" ( not wipe) user data, install TWRP and root the rest will obviously be easy.

He didn't format user data, or the file was somehow corrupted
