Hi all,
I have a strange problem and a search of the forum didn't really find any results. When I connect my phone to a PC (Win 10), the phone appears to set up correctly and a file explorer opens showing me the LE522. When it opens, I was expecting to see a couple of folders with pictures, etc but it is empty. Trying to copy files I get an error that the phone is either disconnected or an error has occurred. I removed the driver, rebooted W10 and plugged my phone back in and again, Android sets up perfectly but I have the same problems. Could anyone give me some pointers please? Thanks in advance.

The fault is with your usb cable, just go for some genuine quality usb cables,
In market there are usb type c but they arent good.
Better buy a genuine one which will cost some bucks but will be better.
Try it u ll find the problem solved .
Thanks

Replaced USB cable with "quality" cables just to check. No change. Thanks.
Hi,
I bought a new Mi A2 a couple of weeks ago.
I've just tried connecting it to my PC (which runs Windows 7) but file transfers are dead slow. Every time I plug it in i get a warning that it could perform much faster using a USB 2.0 port.
I tried installing drivers (using a file named adb-setup-1.4.3.exe that i found on many websites. The problem still persists after updating the drivers.
I also tried installing the Mi suite but it doesn't recognize my phone (I've read Mi suite is out of date and won't work with current Android versions)
Surely there must be a way that I can transfer files to and from my PC at normal speeds like I've been doing for years with plenty of other Android phones?
Hmm, mine works just fine... Try switching the physical USB port. Maybe the one you are using is damaged. Also check if the cable and the type C port on your phone are dirty.
Mine is same
But no one accept it
You can use Mi Drop.
You need FTP client for PC, like FileZilla, and connect your smartphone and PC to the same wifi network.
Mi A2 may have a USB Type C port but appears to only support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps).
I recently transferred 40GBs of music files:
First through FTP (which took an hour plus via 802.11ac)
Wire (3.1 thunderbolt cable which took half the time)
and found that transfer was slow regardless.
I have quick solution.
Connect you Mi A2 Phone to PC and select file Transfer Option in Phone
Go to C drive >> Windows >> INF >>wpdmtp.inf
Right click and install. Now you can access files
Just use the Mi Drop.
you can use FTP Server for high speed file transfer, with internal network speed

Your Mi A2 connects to Mi PC Suite?! Is it stock ROM?
I'm on latest stock update, latest Mi PC Suite version, all drivers in PC updated and ADB through other softwares working perfect, and original mi cable that came with phone. It still does not connect to Mi PC Suite. Never did since I bought this device in september '18. I think Mi PC Suite is only for MIUI devices.
Try installing Qualcomm Driver by searching somewhere in the dev sec.
Hi, phone works OK, it also charges BUT doesn't connect to any PC (windows detects device with description error?), usb OTG not working either, only headphones using type c adapter. Please help, I'm using stock pie with February update, unrooted, blocked bootloader and with usb debugging enabled.
@egantz09
Disable USB Debugging.
Install this driver (and please follow the instructions):

Test.

Hi, Thanks for the guide, but I can't pass from step 6 in which I need to install the Mi Drivers but no PC recognizes de phone, not even in fastboot mode, see screenshot. Any other ideas? I can still charge it and listen audio trough the usb port. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I've hard reset the phone and the problem still persist.

Thanks for the update.
Go into Step 7, with the device connected, and install the drivers manually.
So, in this scenario, you'll right click on the device and browse to the location where you downloaded the drivers.
I need to know what happens if you try and install them manually.

Hi, I can't actually do step 7 because it doesn't recognizes the phone as an Android device like in the guide, but as an:
Unknown USB Device (Error Device Descriptor Request Failed) see attached screenshot.
Even when I select this Unknown USB Device and tried to update de driver manually, the installation fails. (see attached screenshot) .
I've changed cables and tried on different ports of different PCs. Same result. Also by entering Developer Options and accessing the USB settings won't work, there are all greyed out.
@egantz09
Thank you for your efforts and feedback.
Based on the details, I would strongly suggest you initiate a return. You've taken all the appropriate steps, and then some, to address the problem but it's obvious the issue exists with the device hardware.
I am happy to provide further instructions but what concerns me is the fact you've tried multiple PCs and multiple cables.

Hi, I can't return it so I already ordered online a replacement Port Board from aliexpress.com, so I'll check back in 4-6 weeks, thank you very much for your help.
did replacing the port solve your issue? I have the same problem
---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------
cant even force edl mode
Sadly I'm still waiting for the replacement to arrive...I'm in Cuba. But other people with similar problems have solved them by replacing the USB port. Good luck.

if you followed all of the instructions and steps in this post and the problem continues, then you should return your phone.
I already changed my USB port. My warranty is void
If your phone was in warranty you should have returned it, changing the USB port was your final option. Now you should take it to a service center. Good luck,

I replaced my usb port today, still no luck, I tried 3 different ports (I bought 3), It charges with all of them but no USB connection to PC or OTG. I'm thinking its the mainboard. Could it possibly be the FLEX connector?
This is a big problem with 2 MI A2 for me
Since that problem i hate Xiaomi and never Xiaomi product to bey
I have the same problem ... My phone only charging when i connected via USB to the PC... I change USB board and i still have the same problem... I can't choose any options.. only charging.. any help how to solve this problem ? Thanks

I waited 3 months for my USB port replacement and it did the same thing, now I'm waiting for the flex connector, if that doesn't work either, then its a problem with the motherboard.
I ended up replacing the entire phone and a few months later this phone now has the same issue.. this is horrible. Especially with no USA support from Xiaomi. Its a "deal with it" situation.
But i believe the use of crappy chargers, debris getting into port, maybe Qualcomm quick charge modules design flaw could be sending unsafe currents or lacking proper temp regulation when charging,, is damaging something on the main board. I checked every possible software related possibility and tried every fix with no luck.
What i did notice when it happened this time, chargers were not staying connected, they would pop out due to debris in the charging port, also i noticed my phone got pretty hot using a Qualcomm QC enabled charger one night. Nothing else was suspected of generating heat, all apps closed, screen had been off.
I everyone... Where i can buy an usb port?? My A2 is not charging, trying at least 4 different cables and chargers,
Tks
Hi there...
I destroyed half of my phone som days ago Display is completely dead.. the rest seems ok. The backside has not a single scratch. Sensor is working, its charging, can find it via google so gps / data working, its ringing and so on...
Problem: usb debug is off, phone is locked (fingerprint works but is not sufficient, I need to enter a password to start). When I connect it to my pc, the HiSuite CD is loading but nothing else. ADB doesn't find a device.
It seems like I can bring it in recovery mode (Vol-Up+Power) because it vibrates than but doesn't come to the normal system (fingerprint sensor is not active). But here also no adb.
Is there any way to access my data? Firmware is stock 9.0.
It happened to mine, I ended up having the screen replaced, as even with HDMI output, keyboard and mouse, the password screen requires on screen input (at least for digit password).

Hm.. my password consits only of letters. What did you mean exactly? Its impossible to unlock via external keyboard? Or only if the password contains numbers?
How did you conncet mouse / keyboard and screen? did you use a docking station or something? Because there is only one usb c connector ;D
Phone has video output through most usb C to HDMI cables. Don't know about the password

I suppose with a powered usb hub it could work for both mouse and HDMI.
Because lockscreen does not allow input... You'd have to use mouse to select and click on numbers/onscreen keyboard.
Though, I can't get my keyboard/mouse to work on Mate 10 Pro for some reason, it's fine on Mate 9 on Pie but not on 10P.
Phone is back from repair and like a new one. Unfortunatelly also the memory... I told them to not reset it but they did.
Any chace to recover something of the data? I guess its encrypted but maybe there is a chance to recover with the original password?
Chances are slim... Should have asked them to make a backup before.
Hello does anyone else have a problem with the Mi 11 connecting with a USB? I have the Asus Prime Pro X570 motherboard with mutiple USB ports, 2 usb ports on the front of my Corsair 5000X and every port apart from 2 will only charge the phone. The two usb ports connected to the ethernet rail the phone constantly connects and disconnects and the select file transfer, no action etc on my phone literally flashes and has seizure.
It can't be the cable because it works on other PCs. Also tethering works through USB. It's only when I'm trying to access the phones files?
Hello I Have the same Mainboard with the same problem and what can I say... For me the solution was an other pc to unlock the bootloader and flash a cfw. Then tested on my main pc and still nothing. Then tested my three other USB cables and with two it worked.
I have no idea why that is a thing. Maybe the Mainboard USB problem that had to be patched since 1.2.0.0?

Maybe it's an Asus problem but I brainstormed and was like wtf it's android. If you need to transfer files you can use an ftp client and do it over WiFi, but it still sucks cause I can't flash anything
I had the same problem but after I connected the phone to a 3.0 USB port the problem solved instantly.
