Help PC won´t Recognize USB

[Lana30]

Hi Friends,
I want to connect my phone to my PC, but nothing happens. I have already tried using another USB and nothing. Tried another PC and nothing. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance. oh.. one more question.. Is it possible to flash a custom ROM to an Android tablet using Airdroid?

You said you've tried a different USB---cord or port?
Do you have the drivers for the device installed?
And no, you cannot flash a rom to any device using Airdroid....you can only wirelessly transfer files with that app/program.

Try pulling down on your notification shade and changing the USB connection options or select Settings -> Storage -> menu (3 vertical dots at top right of screen) -> USB computer connection and change your settings there.

In Android 6 (MarshMallow), the Storage option is called Storage & USB and the connection options have been moved to Settings -> Developer options * -> Select USB Configuration where you get a different selection of options (Charging only, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol), RNDIS (USB Ethernet), Audio Source, MIDI).

You might have options like Charge only, Media device (MTP), Camera (PTP), etc...your device and connecting computer will dictate which option works.

I don't know too much about Airdroid...flashing a custom ROM certainly takes root and an app that's root-aware/capable. So, you'll have to look to see if there are specific options / features for allowing you to do that.

* Developer options can be enabled by going to Settings -> About phone -> scrolling to bottom of list -> tap "Build number" (7 or 8 times) to enable Settings -> Developer options.
