Elephone S8 can't connect to PC - Elephone S8 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody!
Elephone S8 arrived and i wanted to root it from the start, but issues issues issues...
Cant seem to do anything because when im connecting the phone via cable to pc it only charges itself, and nothing happens in the device manager (win10x64). There also nothing on the device list in ADB installer 2.0
- phone out of the box - nothing customized yet
- using original cable, and tried on other pc
- tried both usb debugging on/off
- developer options -> mtp selected
I went on through the installation of mtk drivers from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042, but that also did nothing .
By the way, is the above driver valid for Elephone S8?
SOLVED: Ok so I had to buy another cable. The original cable didn't work for data transfer, so that was kinda unexpected.

PC not recognizing USB

This is a new issue, it used to work fine, but now, whenever I plug a USB cable into my phone and PC, nothing happens on the PC(No usb found sound) and the phone just shows that it is charging. I opened Device Manager and plugged the phone in and it did not refresh or find anything new. No Unknown Devices in DM either. Currently I am working with a Windows 7 x86 laptop.
Things I have tried:
-Different PC
-Different USB cable
-Factory Reset
-Uninstall/reinstalled HTC drivers
I dont know what the issue is, do I have a bad USB port? Any suggestions?

[Q] USB problem

Yeah, so i've read plenty of topics about USB problems, but none gave me the
anserw.
I'm running Villain ROM 3.0. I just cant connect my phone to the computer (Mac).
It work well before also after flashing Villain.
What i tried:
1. connecting my phone without usb debuging ->phone gives the sound and report in the notification bar : "MTP - initializing" then "USB Connected, MTP-connected" But it does not gives a connection with my mac.
2. Connecting my phone with usb debuging ->phone gives the sound, but nothing happens. nothing in the notification bar neither on the computer. It's strange becouse before it was making the same sound and giving me the info in the notification to connect.
3. I've also tried KIES air it works fine. i can see my phone content, but when im trying to send one file (130mb) there is no reaction to this.
Also some time ago i was able to get usb working by simply choosing usb debuging and restarting phone.
But now i have no acces to my storage
Please help
I have a similar problem.
When I connect my SGSII to my PC (with USB Debugging On) I see 2 Removable Drives in Windows' Explorer. If I click on either one I get the "Please Insert Disk". If I connect to the same USB with USB Debugging off, then Kies Starts but does not connect.
Now the weird bit, if I do the same thing in the next USB port, then everything works fine.
Going back to the first USB slot then the problem reappears.
The 2 USB slots are next to each other and go back to the same controller on the motherboard. I have removed Kies and reinstalled Kies. I have uninstalled all the drivers. I have even changed the USB cable. When I plug a USB External Hard Drive into either USB, it works fine.
Maybe the phone just likes the one connection per computer. I'll have to test that out in my work's PC.
Update:
managed to get a microUSB cable and tested it on my work's PC. Exact same situation. Both PCs run Windows XPpro.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Now, when you said that, i checked with my second usb por, and everything works fine .
So thanks for your help. One working with sgs2 usb port is enought for me

No Connection via USB

Hello,
Few weeks ago I updated my Tablet to ICS with AiO-Tool by condi. Today I tried to connect my Tablet to PC to use some of the AiO-functions. But my Tablet doesn't show up in devices list in Windows. In device-manager there is no device that could be my tablet. Normally it says "Unknown device" but there is still nothing
Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this? Thank you
djlars
Try to set usb debugging off. Then connect and re enable it again. If that doesn't work restart you tab in recovery mode let you pc install the driver and then reboot system. If your pc doesnt show any thing then try a other usb port on your pc last you could try is to use a device thats compitable with your tab like a camera or something but you will need the official kable from sony to connect the micro usb to normal usb...

THL5000 USB connection to pc help

Hi, i have a THL5000 with the following problem: usb connection to PC’s doesn’t work.
Although, charging from USB port works and USB OTG works.
But for some reason connecting the phone via usb cable to the pc won’t recognise the phone…
A sort history of phone mods and things I have done…
1. USB connection to pc worked fine with the original stock rom.
2. I rooted the phone with SP Flash Tools and installed a custom recovery and rom, again the USB connection to the PC worked just fine and everything else worked.
3. Afterwards I wanted to return to stock rom so I used SP Flash Tools and selected the option “Format All + Download”… everything went just fine, but when the phone rebooted the IMEI info were gone (rom working fine) and also I couldn’t connect via USB cable no more!
Charging the phone and USB OTG works fine, but I have tried connecting the phone to varius pc with varius os (linux, windows XP/Vista/7/10) but no PC recognizes the phone…
I have also tried downloading Android phone drivers to the PC’s but nothing, tried different usb cables and usb ports but nothing…
I have also tried using SP Flash Tools again but the pc doesn’t recognizes the phone so I’m stuck.
Any suggestions in fixing the mess I have made???

USB Connection does not work - can I still unlock and flash?

Hello there!
I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. It works quite well but I want to flash a custom ROM. Before I can do that I have to unlock my phone. To do this I must connect my phone to the computer. This is where the trouble begins.
A few weeks ago, I replaced the display because it was broken. I really really took care to avoid doing any harm to the phone - and I think I did a pretty good job. The new display works flawless, like if there was never an issue with it.
BUT: Today I connected the phone via USB - and my computer won't recognize it anymore. I get a message from Windows, telling me that the USB device was not recognized and I should connect the device again. My phone also doesn't show me the USB options like before (charging, data transer). To solve this problem i already tried:
- another USB port
- another USB cable
- another PC
- phone reset
- uninstall and reinstall driver in the device manager
The device manager of Windows gives me the following output at the USB device properties:
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
An error occurred while requesting the USB device descriptor."
I don't know whats wrong, but I can live with it. The question is: can I still unlock and flash my phone without USB?
I have the same issue and my phone charges only in TWRP
me too, i have the same problem, i change the usb hub, flat,...bat still not working!
I have same problem. Did anyone found solution?
for enabling OTG, root needed
run adb shell, use any terminal app,
Code:
su
setprop persist.sys.oem.otg_support true
this only enables OTG support.
USB MTP, ADB support not working. (phone usb to computer connecting issue)
I think switching to stock rom will solve this.
