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.
