Unable to transfer files to PC - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I own a Xiaomi Redmi 7A. Since the very beginning I have issues transfering files to PC.
First of all, the device barely loads on Windows 10. Whenever I try to move files or even simply open folders, it freezes. Never had this problem before with any Android device, either from Samsung or LG. Or whatever other brand (not even those cheap Chinese freaks).
But whenever I connect my 7A to PC, I have to quickly try to move files before 30 seconds or so. After that, it totally freezes. Or files don't respond. Or explorer.exe doesn't respond.
I have tried reinstalling drivers, activating debugging mode and tons of other things I could find on internet, having NO success at all. Tried with my mom's laptop (Windows 7) and I was surprised I got the exact same problem. So, I came to this forum, cause I believe you guys are the only one who can save me.
I didn't want to get a new phone, because I got this one only 4 months ago, so... But seems like I'm going to have to get a new one asap.
Examples of the dozens of problems I've been experience:

(Failure moving File or Folder - Catastrophic failure)
(Hanging forever/files don't show)
Eternal copying (that can't be cancelled and still freezes)
Some more different errors (googled it and no success finding a decent fix)

Seems to be a mass storage bug with either the device or Windows

[Q] Lumia 800 freezes on Orange startup screen after failed update

Hi,
I'm really hoping somebody can help me.
I connected to Zune and went through the standard update instructions but the phone froze at "step 9 of 9" - I think this was during a reboot.
It just hung on the network provider screen (Orange UK).
Now, it won't go past that at all.
Orange support will provide a replacement but that won't help since I would like to retrieve my media.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
So, I did some digging and found this page:
"support.microsoft. com /kb/2484484#StuckAtSplashScreen"
Followed the instructions and got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I really hope it's not completely irretrievable!
Tried this too but to no avail...
"windowsdiscussions. com/restoration-error-c101002e-nokia-windows-phone-3445.html"
So, in the end, I managed to flash the phone using:
"youtube. com/watch?v=puTMCG_CiMk"
However, my problem now is, it's written over all of my old media files. I used to be able to undelete files from old PC hard drives however, not sure on how to do it with a phone - any ideas?
Thanks and appreciated!
Come on guys! What does it take to get some Noobie help?!
I've done a lot on my own but could do with some real technical know-how...
Unfortunately I can't help with this, however my sister has just emailed me to say her Lumia 800 ran flat and now won't boot past the Orange logo either.
She had updated to 7.8 a few days ago. Possibly connected...

[Q] Phone won't boot. Stuck at Philz CWM.

Hi guys. This is the first time i posted on xda. I've been hopelessly scouring through the internet for a solution and i hope you guys can enlighten my path.
I'm using Galaxy Note N7000. It was rooted and I'm using "AmniX"-Xperia Note GT-N7000 TW Edition. It works perfectly until yesterday when I drop my phone onto a carpet. After that, the horror started.
First, I can't access my photos, then I've try to mount back my SD Card as it shown NO SD CARD DETECTED in files explorer.
Secondly, I've try to restart it several times but no luck, take the sd card in and out but still no effect.
Thirdly, Restarted my phone and try to go to Recovery mode. After Samsung Logo booted, the Philz CWM is not working. I cannot see anything on the screen besides the button below. I've attached an image of that.

}
Next, I try plug it in to my pc. Again, nothing is detected. Installed USB drivers several times but still I cant access the phone's storage.
What can I do to fix this?
You can only access the phone's storage in recovery via adb. I'd first take out the SD card and see if it works in something else. Next I would update your recovery and try again. If that doesn't work, then Odin back to stock.

Recovering data from bootlooping Lenovo A850i

Hello everyone,
I deleted some of the bloatware my Lenovo A850i came with, and after thatit rebooted and got stuck at the logo screen. It animates and all, and then doesn't move forward.
If I press power+volume down, it says meta mode but doesn't really do anything as far as I can tell.
Power+volume up brings up a chinese factory mode where I could wipe the whole thing (which I'd rather avoid). When I first entered this mode while connected to my PC, the PC installed the phone's driver, since then, nothing.
Power+both volumes brings me to an android screen where I could also wipe the phone, or install an update from the phone.
If I simply power up the phone and connect it to the PC, I can see a Lenovo Suite install drive, and the two internal drives my phone has, but they are vague and unopenable. It says that I should inster a disc.
I have tons of pictures on the phone, and tons of contacts that for some reason I saved on the phone itself, bad mistake. So I would like to download the internal data before wiping the thing.
Please help!
Update:
If I take the battery out and connect the phone to the PC, I can hear a quick hardware recognition sound, then immeditely the harware disconnected sound. If I watch the Device Manager, I can see a port appear and disappear.

Lg K7 Unstable connection avoid flashing

Hi , I think I probably f*kc up something. My sister just changed his phone to a new one so I borrowed his old Lg K7 x210 3G (I just post all the info I have about the model cause I don't really know exactly which one is) Well I unloaded the Bootloader and tried to change the recovery. I fallowed the steps of the guide but at the end I finished having the "No Command" error . This got me nervous and I started to touch things without knowing what I was doing (really, REALLY bad idea )
So the phone got stuck on a bootloop , well time to flash to get rid of the loop. The main problem is that I can't flash anything (except for the preloader) because it disconects all the time. I installed 20 different drivers and Sp Flash Tools versions (erasing the old ones with USBDeview )
These are the two states that jumps every 2 seconds.

What can I do to avoid this "jumps" and flash the rom correctly to the phone?
I tried 2 different pc , all the ports in this pc and all the cables I could find at home
PS: This are the different guides and tutorials I tried but failed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 (It can't connect to the lg app because the "jumping" issue )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-m2/help/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-32-64-t3267033 (Tried these on a W10 computer but again the device cant stay connect for more than 2 seconds )

Thanks for your help . I don't want to give so early I think it could be fixed.

Note 5 possibly bricked/droidcam

I have an old Note 5 lying around with a cracked screen. Not worth using except as a backup, not worth selling. I had a great idea: use it as a webcam!
I downloaded droidcam, used it a few times, forgot all about it. Until yesterday.
I turned on the phone and the screen was as in the attachment. I used Android Control to mirror the screen to my PC (effortlessly) and make sure the phone was actually working. I figured that the last time I used the phone, I had actually left the phone connected to droidcam for a long time (forgot about it) and it may have done something to the display driver or some such. No biggie, I'll just reflash, maybe it'll solve the problem, maybe not.
After some struggle, got the phone into download mode and used Odin to attempt to flash 3 different firmwares, all for my SM-920 XSG (UAE firmware). The first time it made it all the way to the end when it failed to write. The other two fail early on. I even attempted to flash a PIT, which worked and then everything failed after just as fast as before the PIT flashing.
So, anyone have any idea what's wrong with the phone's screen? It was working before and literally had been left alone on a table undisturbed. Also, it would be nice to unbrick the phone, so that I can donate it (as a working phone sans screen) or at least try to sell it online to someone who would fix the screen (or a local shop).
You don't tell me nevermind
