I'm having error on Win10 when I connect my Mipad4 but it works well using the cable to charge. I've also tried a few cables. Is the port faulty?
Try another port.
Check connection settings in Developer options.
You need to authorize the connection first on the Adroid; a popup window will appear if connected*.
Go to Disk Management>scan drives, connect from here.
No joy? Check Event Viewer for error messages.
Try rolling back the driver in Hardware management, or updating it. No driver means no joy! Reboot, always reboot with Windows... it ain't no Android
*this is how a Samsung Android behaves... hopefully this will help; cross platforming.
Play with it...

I am having a problem plugging my Note2 into multiple PCs - USB2 and USB3 ports both tried, multiple pcs and laptops tried.
All running Windows 7 (Pro or Enterprise). The N2 is bone stock, no root yet.
It makes the sound like it sees the USB, but fails installing all of the drivers, and never brings up the window to explore the SD contents.
I have tried multiple drivers - the S3 driver that some said would be no issue does not work. Different carrier versions do not work.
Last I checked, there was no verizon version driver available.
Here is my process.
I plug it in.
It says Connected as Installer
I pull the window down, choose MTP.
It tries to install different drivers
Never completes in Windows, says failed.
I have tried with debugging checked and without.
I have tried aftermarket cables (namebrand and off-brand) as well as OEM cables from the S2, S3 and Note2.
I've removed hidden USB devices and plugged it into multiple different USB ports to try and get it to work.
Any ideas guys? Are you guys plugging your Note 2's in and are able to browse the internal storage no prob through windows ? If so, how?
nothing?
Simmilar USB connecting issues
My Note 2 does connect as a MTP media device with "directories" Card & Phone, via win7
But I want to connect the sd card as a standard usb mappable drive just like every other phone I ever had.
It seem Android used to allow this but now may not. Or I haven't found the magic setting.
I had a similar issue after I flashed the rooted image, I had to disable USB debugging in developer options, restart the phone and laptop to get it to connect as MTP
I cant post in the Dirty Unicorns thread so I am posting here. People said that USB Mass Storage is working flawlessly in dirty unicorns. However, I still can't get it to show up at all. I'm wondering what steps I should take? Right now all I know is when I connect it via usb, on the phone, a USB Mass Storage page opens up for a split second, then closes. I have it enabled in the storage settings. Any help with this?
Have you tried different ports on the PC, different cords, and/or a different PC to make sure it's not something with the rom itself since it is working for others? If there's not a notification when it's plugged in to tell you it's connected, then it's probably one of those 3 things. Does MTP work? Also, open the Device Manager and check the driver status when you plug it in to see if the PC does recognize it and whether or not it is trying to load the correct drivers.

I'm getting the error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" in device manager. Also, it first shows up as drive L with a yellow triangle, but then it disappears after a little while.
Also, I am able to successfully connect it, get the drivers automatically, and keep the USB Mass storage page open when using a different computer. So it's got to be something with my computer right now. Think you could walk me through what to do with the drivers and whatnot?
Hi everyone,
I often transfer files between my Samsung S7 Edge and my Windows PC through USB cable. However, after (making the mistake of) letting it upgrade to Oreo (v8.0), this is no longer possible: connecting the phone via USB to my laptop only shows charging information in the swipe-down top menu, and I no longer get the prompt asking whether I want to allow access to the phone's contents. Consequently, the phone's internal&SD memory no longer shows up under Windows Explorer.
I've been searching for a fix/workaround for hours (thanks Google for this quality time!). Some of the things I've tried that didn't work:
- enable/disable USB debugging mode under developer options
- change "USB configuration" (under Developer Options) to "MTP" and to all other options there
- use a different USB cable and USB port on the laptop
- search for apps on the Play Store that can help with this (didn't find any that actually do the job)
Connecting Android phones to Windows laptops to access their internal memory through USB cable has (bemusingly!) been a problem with this ****ty OS as long as I can remember, so it doesn't surprise me that users are having to spend even more time now to get it to work again.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks - I tried that, but I still don't see the phone's memory as a USB drive, nor any permission prompt on the phone once I connect it.

Try to reinstall drivers ,uninstall all previously installed use USBDEVIEW tool .

Before I do that, I should note that, when I tried on a different Win 10 PC, I get the USB drive back no problem, so the problem is Windows/PC-related, it seems?!
Turns out that, when using another USB cable, the phone is once again seen as a USB drive. I didn't think the cable could make a difference! Hope it helps others
I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having with Windows 11.
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tablet (2013), the MicroUSB port had to be replaced as the port had broken. Before the repair, the tablet could connect to my Windows 11 PC with no problem, it showed up in Device Manager and File Explorer fine. After the repair, the Tablet will no longer connect and shows up as an "Unknown USB Device".
All methods I have tried, including installing new Drivers, have failed.
If anyone can help, I will really appreciate it!
Who did the repair? It seems whomever did the repair either didn't use the correct parts or installed them improperly.
A friend of mine did the repair. They are quite good at soldering, I will ask them to have another look at the port.
I know the correct part was used as we got the Port from another tablet of the same model.
Check for hardware issues
There’s a possibility that you’re unable to use your USB device due to a hardware issue, meaning that the problem lies within your computer and not the operating system. Here are two easy ways to test if this is the case, which can easily prove whether you need to look into getting your computer restored or can proceed with the methods below to fix system-originated issues.
Plug out your power supply
For some reason, temporarily unplugging your power supply and then connecting the problematic equipment into your computer may fix the Unknown USB device issue on Windows 10. Simply disconnect all charging cables from your laptop until your computer is only running on its integral battery. Then, plug in the USB device to see if your system recognizes it.
Uninstall the USB Driver in Device Manager
Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard at the same time to bring up the Run utility.
Type in “devmgmt.msc” without the quotations marks, then hit the OK button. This is going to launch the Device Manager in a separate window.
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers section, then select the Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) from the list.
Right-click on the selected USB device and choose Uninstall from the context menu. Follow any on-screen instructions to remove the device.
When the uninstallation is complete, reboot your system. It’ll automatically reinstall the drive correctly, which may help you get rid of the error you’ve been receiving.

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
