You get that message on your laptop, or phone?
This might sound simplistic, but have you tried a different cable?

No disrespect intended from deleted text.
Unless there's something specific with this particular iteration of Android on the G5, I can't think of any other reasons why it's not letting you connect.
At this point you might try connecting your phone to a different USB port on your laptop (if you have that option.) I know there have been issues with USB3 ports in the past. You could try a different PC.
If none of those solutions works, you might consider an app like Airdroid which will let you transfer files wirelessly.

WOW Luna I really appreciate your help, I can go everywhere you showed me but why no MTB like you said? It was not on what you showed me either?
I've got a G6 running Android 7.0, the G5 probably only has Android 6.x so the menus will look a little different. The only reason I can think why MTP is not an option is that the phone doesn't detect it when plugged in, which is what led me to suggest a different cable or USB port.

Does your computer detect your phone when you put on ADB mode?

Not a permanent fix but you could use that to transfer files. This proves that you have at least some access to your phone from PC. Try going to developer options and change the type of connection from there(charging/mtp)
