Mi a3 MTP media transfer protocol not connecting with PC - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hi, anyone having the issue, MTP not working in mi a3. I can't connect my phone to my pc via MTP. Tried lots of USB drivers. But only fastboot working, MTP not working.

Have you changed the connection mode? By default the phone only charges when connected to a PC. You must switch to file transfer from the notification every time (or in developer settings to make the change permanent). Correct drivers for MTP are installed automatically by recent Windows versions.

Yes, I've chosen the right settings in my phone. I already used my redmi 3s prime in same pc. All the drivers for redmi 3s installed properly. But mi a3 wont connect. I installed available drivers, it works in fastboot mode. I can instruct my phone via fastboot. But MTP only not working. Is there any USB driver particular for mi a3? In Xiaomi website all the drivers available for devices specifically. But there is no driver for mi a3. I found mi a1 and a2. But not mi a3. Can you help me to find the right driver? I'm in latest windows 10 laptop

MTP works out of the box without device specific drivers.
If you have installed Xiaomi drivers they might block MTP communication.
Have you tried on an other PC without phone drivers? Are you running any Windows security software?

MTP uses generic Windows drivers, you don't have to install them manually. Connect your phone to the PC, unlock the screen, make sure it's set to file transfer and open the device manager on the PC. Do you see any device with an exclamation mark? MTP should be under portable devices section as Mi A3.

Yes I can see mi a3 in the device manager under other devices. It shows the device driver not installed properly. Might be some problem with my windows pc. I'll try troubleshooting my pc. Thanks

Has anyone found a solution?
I've tried installin Media feature pack, manually installing the MTP driver, updating the driver doesn't work since nothing pops up when I click on Mobile devices.

For an older A2 Lite cleaning USB socket helps...

Go to windows settings, device manager and delete all your USB devices and let Window ask you for new drivers all over again

Problems with MTP USB Device

I plug my phone into a USB port.
The first time I did so, an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
The LG United Drivers are installed onto my computer great.
But then an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
My computer attempts to install MTP USB Driver, but fails. According to Windows, the device is unplugged.
The AutoPlay window reappears. Repeat from the beginning of the paragraph.
What have I done to deserve such trouble, LG?!?!
Apparently the drivers installed directly from phone are not enough. In any case, I was observing similar behaviour *until* I installed LG PC Suite (which you should have been prompted to do too). It's stupid, it sucks but again, it's LG.
Install the LG drivers first. After that, when you plug your phone, it will be recognised as an mtp device.
Have you got Windows Media Player installed?

I tried two different versions of the LG United Mobile Driver, versions 3.7.2 and 3.8.1 on my computer. Same problems.

I do. Same problems.
Plug the phone, go to device manager in windows and uninstall the driver for the phone( or whatever shows up with the yellow triangle). Then unplug the phone and connect it back again. It should work. If not, uninstall the lg drivers and clean every trace of them and start from the begining.

Tried uninstalling the LG U2 USB Driver, then disconnected and reconnected phone. Same problem. LG U2 USB Driver was installed but MTP USB still shows up as unplugged.
Then uninstalled LG PC Suite and LG United Mobile Driver, reinstalled LG PC Suite and reconnected phone. Problem still occurs. I run LGAutoRun.exe and United Mobile Drivers are installed. Same problem. MTP USB shows up as "device unplugged" and phone keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to computer, saying drivers were not properly installed due to MTP USB being unplugged.
Interesting to note the phone is listed as a CD-ROM drive.

Install the software from the CD image. It will load the correct driver. After this re-connect the device and the CD image will show up for a few seconds and disappear. After this the storage will show up. That is how it worked on my device.

I have already tried what you said as I posted before. The LG United Mobile driver gets installed but the MTP USB Driver does not get installed due to the device being unplugged according to Windows, even though I have yet to disconnect the phone from the computer. The phone still says "Connected as an installer".
The phone is recognized as an F: Drive by Windows but LGE Mobile but keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 20 seconds or so.
I am going to have to upload a video to YouTube to make things crystal clear.

Try a different USB port or cable. My P769 would not work on my USB 3 ports, but was happy on the USB 2 port. I had already installed the drivers and LG PC Suite and it picked up each mode just fine.
Plugging the phone into USB 2.0 makes the phone show up in portable devices, but LG Suite fails to identify the phone. I tried using both LGE Android Net MTP USB Device and MTP USB Device but they both fail. I have LG United Drivers and LG Suite installed already.
got thesame problem here mate..i search all over here and google the driver but still cant find any solution..this is so frustrating to fix this issue,,got install and uninstall the pc suite and driver many times but still cant get the solution..so what could be the fix????
no one can suggest..someone told me that maybe its causing the broken data cable but i have 3 cables now..
everytime i intend to install the MTP driver thing my pc always failed to do so,,saying that the filename,directory name or syntax label is incorrect..but i manually direct the search to lg driver folder but same error occurs..or there still other alternative apps that can transfer files without removing my sd to my phone,or atleast transfer files over the wifi..??
Any fix for this one? Already tried uninstalling, installing LG drivers, removed and reinserted SD card and everything. But still to no avail. It installs everything successfully EXCEPT USB MTP device which is the one I needed the most. Any solutions? Thanks!

You must be on 64 bit windows. Not even on 64bit, Still try this...
1) Uninstall LG Drivers, LG PC Suite and anything you see named LG. Restart PC.
2) Install latest LG Driver from this post (step 4)
3) Install Optional MTP Driver from this post (step 4)
4) Open Windows Device Manager (just to watch whats happening.)
5) Disconnect Internet (To avoid stupid online WDM drivers)
6) Connect phone with Usb and let drivers install automatically. Give it some time to install drivers keeping watch on Device Manager window.
7) Keep changing USB connect modes to all modes one-by-one on Phone and let drivers install.
You should see MTP drivers installed now. If this does not help, cant think of anything else. If this works, press THANKS button
EDIT: Connect USB at backside of pc, directly to USB on pc motherboard.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me mate. Already tried literally everything on what you just said above. Still no. I tried it on my brother's old vista laptop. One connect and it worked instantly! Lol.

Adb device not listed after flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU

Hi,
I have a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. When i bought it a week ago, i was able to connect it to my MacBook Pro and also was able to install one of my apps using Android Studio.
After requesting unlock code and waiting 72 hours, I have been able to unlock de bootloader with the Xiaomi utility on a Windows 7 computer, flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-santoni.img from twrp.me) using fastboot from my Mac OSX and install SuperSU 2.82 via TWRP.
The problem is that after rebooting the phone, it is impossible to connect to it via adb. It never appears in adb devices list. Things that i have tried:
Add to adb_usb.ini with these vendor Ids (0x8087,0x2080,0x2717)
Enable / disable developer options
Enable / disable USB debugging
Clear list of USB debug authorizations
Try to modify USB settings to MTP/PTP mode (it always connect as "charge only" mode, if i try to switch it it doesn't change).
Update platform tools to version 0.26 via Android Studio
Connect it to different USB ports
When i connect it to my USB, the phone didn't asks me permissions to allow USB debugging for the RSA key of the computer. It just shows the message about USB charging only mode. If I connect one of my other two phones (Huawei P8 Lite 2017 and Vernee Apollo Lite) they appear without problems on the adb devices list.
Do you have any ideas of what can be the problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

Redmi Note 3 Pro ist not recognized

Hello Guys,
I would like to flash a Redmi Note 3 pro with twrp.
The problem is it is not recognized by PC. It's not even showing anything in device Manager.
I installed usb drivers from Xiaomi, I booted to Fastboot Mode and connected the Phone to the PC. Nothing is happening. No device ist showing in device Manager.
I tried 3 different USB cables and also to connect it to a notebook instead using my PC. No Chance.
Then I tried to connect a Redmi Note 4X in Fastboot mode and the same happened. IT IS Not recognized and the device manager don't show a new device.
Both phones are officialy unlocked.
Anyone who faced the same problem and can help

Hi, so you have tried 2 PCs, 2 phones and 3 cables. I think you missed it in the Device Manager. Please connect your RN3P phone in fastboot mode and run http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html then do File/Save full report, and post it here. Alternatively, run any live Linux and post lsusb output.
Thank you for your reply.
As it seems I can´t post links because i`m new and when I try to post the report here it says I can`t because it has more than 30000 caracters
But as I said it won´t be recognized. Both of them won`t.
When I connect them in working mode I can´t even access the data like pictures etc.
One of the 3 usb-cables were originaly packaged as I at first suspected the usb cables were faulty.
But now a friend of mine come by and I tested to connect his Redmi note 4x and it is working. The only difference is that he has miui 8 and I have miui 9 from xiaomi.eu.
So I am out of ideas now. The only I can imagine is that both usb ports on the smartphone are ****ed and therfore it won´t connect properly.
Charging is no problem by the way
Bro you have to setup adb drivers perfectly a single error in setting up leads error but no worry it would not harm your device....
So first of all setup adb driver from the given link it will show you how to setup adb driver
Then go your processor of setting up twrp.
If you need any help on setting up twrp just reply on it....

Mi A3 not recognized when connecting through usb, cant unlock bootloader (Windows /Linux)

Hey everyone
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Mi A3 (M1906F9SH running stock A11), but for some reason my computer (Windows 10) isn't recognizing it. It doesn't even show in device manager. "adb devices" doesn't identify it as being connected either. Having the phone on, in fastboot or in recovery makes no difference (in recovery it shows the "no command" error). I've tried 3 different usb cable and 3 different usb ports.
Ive tried reinstalling adb drivers, qualcom drivers, ran the 15 seconds ADB installer (again). Tried to add it as a legacy device in device manager but nothing worked.
Then I tried using Linux (sepcifically mAid) but it didnt recognized my phone either.
I recently installed a custom ROM on my poco x3 (and I did so a couple of times in the past with different phones) but it was never this difficult. I honestly don't know where to go from here.
Am I missing something?

i am also using mi a3 evolution x 7.2
my computer (windows 11) again and again connecting and disconnect usb.
maybe usb port has bad connection.
is usb debugging enabled?
i used ubuntu to root my mi a3 and to install custom ROM, it should show something when in fastboot mode.
