This is the simple solution to fix Xiaomi phone not connecting to PC via USB cable, this will show you how to make the MI phone gets detected by your computer via USB cable.
Just bought Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime from china and was trying to copy an HD video to the phone to test the display but my computer was not detecting the phone via USB, i tried several cables and ports but no joy.
First thing that comes to mind is enabling ‘USB debugging’ but even after that the xiaomi phone not connecting to PC still.
The PC detects the xiaomi phone via cable if i select Transfer photos (PTP) option but can only access the photo folders.
Finally i got a perfectly working solution to get your computer to detect your xiaomi phone via USB cable.

Did everything mentioned above and my phone still couldn’t be recognized. So I looked up other tutorials and instaled universal ADB drivers to my PC and it worked. In my case it was just my PC not having drivers needed to interact with my phone. So if you still can not get your phone recognized by your PC even after steps above try universal ADB drivers.
Hope this help to somebody 🙂
Thanx, it works.
It doesn’t work, nothing worked so far, I have seen numerous sites claiming the exact same thing. I have a Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and nothing works. Xiaomi phones simply don’t have the ability to connect to pcs. Someone needs to simply mention this before we waste money buying from that junk company.
In addition to the inability to connect to pc, Xiaomi is notorious for not having a memory card slot. So your photos are stuck in your phone for good.
Xiaomi phones have the ability to connect to PCs, there is no doubt about it. You simply have a faulty unit. Stop thinking that your experience count for universal truth…
Thanks very much. Worked like charm
It’s not installing, just showing that : The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation.
Thank you! This fixed my issue with Redmi Note 5. Great work!
Didn’t work for me, using Mi 9t. Factory Reset, install drivers, changed 4 cables, used 2 PCs and used different ports. Can only transfer using the free FEEM software so you can connect wirelessly and transfer the files you need but not exactly to browse the phone folders and everything.
This all happened after the software update, fast charging not working and phone not detected by PC.
same with me also ,my phone is redmi note 9s
thank you
Thank you, Wilson 🙂 Worked like a charm on a Black Shark 3. Needless to say all other options failed…
Keep up the great work !
Hi, it does not work for me and a Xiaomi 10 lite 5g.
The MI PC suite do not recognise the phone and on File Explorer subdirectories from the cellular are still empty
It worked for me.
thanks
Thanks a lot! After months of struggling, debugging etc, this worked perfectly with Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro.
It worked for me like a magic..Superb …Thx a lot.
This solution worked for me.
One additional step I had to include was, on Mobile Choose Select USB Configuration as PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) which allowed files to start being visible and could be copied from Mobile to Machine. This Option is available under Developers Options, Under Networking
