unable to get Mi A2 recognized on Windows 10 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Just got a used A2. Booted it up and no bootloader unlocked message. Tried to unlock bootloader but unable to get it recognized on my windows 10 PC. I have tried all ways to install the drivers, used different USBC cables, different USB port on the PC but no luck.
Developer options have been triggered & USB debugging is allowed.
Please let me know what drivers worked for you guys?
Mi drivers? Google drivers?
Thanks

Fastboot mode not detected + MTP mode not detected

Hello,
since 2 days my MI5 is not working fine. I can plug it to the energy and charges, but when I connect it to the PC via ADB or fastboot, is not recognized, but charges.
is it possible that the usb-connector is damaged? It looks like the mobile doesn't recognize when is connected to a computer and always is on charge mode. Any ideas how can I check it?
I installed the MIUI USB Settings (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.vincze.usbsettings&hl=es_419) and I get the message that I need to plug my mobile to the computer.
I tried with several usb - cables, and also with different computers.
I restart the mobile in fastboot mode and is not detected too, just charges.
thanks for ur help
Anyway what rom and version you're using it..?
Using original cable..?, and already check it that usb connected as MTP not just for charging in developer option..?
Did you already install all driver needed for adb and fastboot interface..i mean driver included while installing miflash tool?, also checking it under pc device manager to check that's already connect with correct driver

last developer rom: MIUI 8 Global 7.1.19 | Beta
original cable + other cable.
driver installed correctly (in 3 computers) - The phone was always recognized in the 3 computers, and now is never recognized.
In pc device manager nothing is displayed.
In developer options MTP enabled.
And always is charging.
Restarting in fastboot mode, connected to computer, and also only charges, is not recognized. Is is possible that the usb-port is damaged?

Really weird..but it's possible your usb port of your phone already broken..
Anyway how do you get using 7.1.19 beta rom..?, from updating or fresh flashing from twrp with already unlocked bootloader..?
If from twrp..how about connecting while in twrp..?, did your pc recognized it..?

PC will not detect Mi Mix

Mix
7.0 NRD90M
MIUI Version: Miui Global 9.2 | Stable 9.2.1.0 (NAHMIEK)
kernel: 3.18.31 perf-g0bf156d-01070-g4aac0b4a
Phone came unlocked from seller HongKong Goldway on Aliexpress.
I have tried to download the usb drivers for my laptop which is on windows 10 and a PC running windows 7 and did that update driver thing and tried to use the downloaded winusb_inf file. I've also tried going into windows INF folder and right clicking that wdptmp.inf file and trying "install".
The laptop says Unknown USB device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed) and the PC says Unknown Device. Both are under the USB section on Device Manager
I installed ADB Fastboot tools, turned the phone off and held power + vol down to go into "Fastboot" where it loads a white bunny with a green russian hat holding cords behind a green android robot. Fastboot on the computer doesn't detect any devices.
I also tried Mi Suite and nothing detects. I am using the original usb type C cord and I also tried 3 different usb Type C cords.
Any help guys?? (Also I can't find any update app icon anymore...is that new?)
I want to install TWRP and root so i can do that performance tweak for the mix. and load up a custom rom.

What about miflash, it will ask you to install drivers, they are bundled with miflash

Hi thanks for the reply,
Is that the program that has the "RESTESTING" and "INSTALL" button/options? If so. I've tried clicking install and it says its finished. If this is the same program were talking about, it didn't do anything to help detect the phone.

Sounding like you might have a vendor ROM installed, you should follow the guide in the guide's section, follow the guide for installing twrp with vendor ROM. The unlocked bootloader is a sure sign the vendor installed their own ROM.

interesting. I thought my miui version meant that it wasn't a vendor rom? in any case, i still can't install TWRP if i can't get my phone to detect on any pc...

Yea the guide tells you how to install the drivers, miflash has an option to install driver's. From fastboot you bypass the ROM

I've already installed adb fastboot and all that on my pc. Booted my device into fastboot mode. fastboot does NOT detect any devices though. see my issue? i cant do anything from fastboot because nothing is detected.
Also i only have 4 numbers...doesn't that mean its NOT vendor?

No follow the guide for the correct install of driver's, disable driver signature in windows 10.
http://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html#post_6279092
There are 1000s of people on this forum who have done the same thing you are trying to do. So basically you are trying to get China dev ROM installed through miflash, then your PC will recognize it then you can install the rest after.
Search vendor ROM mi mix, even if it isn't vendor ROM sounds like you are still going to follow the same guide.
Have you tried another PC? Don't see anyone else complaining about not detected

I've already tried this and still nothing comes up on miflash or anything else. i swear im not retarded. I tried it on 2 laptops running win 10 and a pc desktop running win 7. my redmi note 4 global detects on all of them no problem which is making me frustrated here.

i cant install china dev rom if miflash doesn't even detect anything plugged in. literally about to smash my mix. yes i tried to follow that guide and similar ones like it. and yes i disabled signature
installed drivers from miflash, disabled driver sig, put phone into fastboot, plugged it in the pc, clicked REFRESH on miflash. nothing appears.
I'm not crazy.

i have tried 2 and 3, nothing. method 1's steps didnt really make any sense to me so i didnt do that one.
im dumbfounded because im reading posts on XDA and MIUI forums and theres like 30% of mi mix owners that never found a solution to this while the other portion did easily. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and I'm starting to think it's the phone and not my laptop. I also found out that when i go into fastboot mode on my mix, it only stays in fastboot mode for like 30 seconds and then ejects itself out of fastboot mode (im not sure if this is normal)
Ive also tried to download older official china roms and tried updating them through the mix's updater option. nothing. what in the hell is going on here?!??!?!

Hey thanks for the reply.
Do you see picture 1 you uploaded, where its device manager and you can see Portable Devices and there you have that One A2001 device that shows up?
I don't have ANYTHING that pops up under portable devices or portable storage.
Mine only has a notification under the USB serial bus controllers. Mine says only this
Now, I know what you mean by trying to install the MTP USB Device, except you can't do that when you have this kind of USB error because it doesn't even detect a device to even update a driver to MTP.
If you read back you'll see that I have tried installing USB drivers before, I've also used the MiFlash tool to install drivers through there. Still nothing. If someone can find a fix I'll paypal them a few bucks for their trouble because I seriously don't know what to do from here. I've searched many forum posts on here, miui forums, reddit and everyone seems to at least have something detect in their Device Manager as a device. OR some people are able to detect their device in ADB boot but mine doesn't and mine also can only stay in fastboot for 30 seconds before it kicks itself out.
I also don't believe I have a vendor rom because it only has 4 numbers despite coming in the mail already with an unlocked bootloadeder.

Try right clicking on the unknown usb device and if it shows that you can update your driver software so try doing what I sent in my first reply (I hope your phone is connected to your pc in this picture ?)

phone is connected. and ive already tried what you're guide says. except this is what it looks like on mine\
no MTP option at all
when i uncheck compatible hardware box (there is no mtp as far as i looked in the options)
I believe yours gives you the MTP option because your computer picked it up as a device. Whereas mine is having some kind of USB error and doesn't know wtf is plugged in? The thing is, it will detect my Redmi Note 4 Global with no problem... so

Damm.
IDK maybe there is a problem with your charging port.
You can try another thing, If you have another phone with a USB type C port and you have a USB type C to USB type C charging cable, then connect these 2 phone and try transferring files from one phone the to other (Did it with my phone and my friend's Nexus 5X).

My PC does not recognize Xiaomi MI A2 device

Recently I couldn't get my PC to recognize the cell phone, I tried several cables, other pc's and even re-installed rom with test point (The only thing that works) Any suggestions?
So the phone boots and works but it isn't recognized by any pc?
I had a Mi A2 with the same problem, tried everything possible, without success ... I sold and bought another.

Question no fastboot connection

I have had the Mi 11 since today, I wanted to unlock the boot loader, but my PC doesn't recognize it.
looked for adb drivers and downloaded them, did not work.
I turned on USB debugging.
can someone give me a tip or with which driver it would work?

I had the same problem after sending a new device in exchange for my defective one. It was not recognized at all on the USB port. In Fastboot mode only in sideload mode. I just did a factory reset. The device was then displayed as unauthorized in ADB mode, but Fastboot mode is sufficient to unlock the bootloader It was then displayed correctly there. However, the waiting time has increased to over 500 hours. The first device lasted 260 hours. No matter. Now it's in the drawer until August.

device not getting detected in both adb and fastboot.

I am stuck in a very weird situation, my device is not getting detected in both adb in recovery mode and fastboot. I have no ROM (No OS) installed at the moment.
I am booting to recovery and fastboot through hardware keys.
I have tried installing drivers from mi unlock tool and any other USB drivers I could find in top searches of "USB drivers".
I am sure the USB cable is not the issue as other xiaomi device (Redmi note 4) is getting detected.
The port also looks fine as I can see 'charging' in recovery mode.
What are my options here? is my device 'gone'? I have orange fox recovery so I have access to `shell` if that helps.

Hey man, I know this might sound dumb, but have tried using a different PC ??, I have been in a situation like this and trying using a different pc actually was successful
> Have you tried different PC
Yes. My first suspicion was USB3.0 Ports. So I tried a different PC as well. Unfortunately couldn't find a PC with USB 2.0 ports but yeah another PC didn't work as well (Note mine worked for past 4 years just fine)
