Here is how to connect your smartphone Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 to the PC / laptop via USB cable to transfer the data on the smartphone to PC or vice versa (photos, music, files, etc.). and also connects internet connection to PC. if you've been experiencing a problem in doing so, here's how to solve it.
This method is also used if you want to do flashing, replace ROM, or other things that require a smartphone connected to the computer. This tutorial also works and could be applied to other types of Xiaomi smartphones.
The problem is in licensing for a crossing data from the phone to the PC, or, more specifically, is on the USB debugging that located in the developer options on the smartphone. Make sure that you use the original USB cable from Xiaomi or equivalent in quality to that.
Let! us directly to the problem, and solve on how to connect your Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 to PC via USB Cable.
# 1 Enable Developer Mode
You can not enable the USB Debugging feature before activating the smartphone in Developer Mode in the following ways:
- Log in to the >Settings in your Xiaomi phone, then go to >About Phone.
- Find "MIUI version", next to it you will find the information about the ROM version is being used by your smartphone (example: Global MIUI 8.0 | Stable) tap that text 7-12 times to pull out the pop up info "you are now a developer".
# 2 Turn on USB Debugging
Once you have enabled Developer features, the new additional menu will appear, named Developer Options, and then we can enable USB Debugging by:
- Go back to >Settings Then go to the >Additional Settings
- Then open selection >Developer Options
- Find "USB debugging" then enable the feature (by tapping once on the selection)
Done!
Once finished enabling the USB debugging feature, then you can connect directly to a PC or a computer with a USB cable and you can access the data stored on the smartphone through a PC.
have an issue?
If still unsuccessful and not detected, make sure you have installed the Xiaomi PC Suite (Mi PC Suite) on your computer (PC). And make sure the cable used is a standard cable to connect the smartphone to the computer and not the cheap cable which allows charging only.

Let make it clear first, so I can easily diagnose your real problem.
So, do you want to transfer your app to your phone? or one of your app isn't working?
I'am not sure that TV could hold the system for viewing files from the phone directly, not recommended.
You are welcome! Happy to hear that. Enjoy!
You are welcome! I am happy for you. Great to know that most of the reader here also read the comment section. sometimes we found the same problem and the same solution on the discussions. Enjoy transferring :)
you're welcome! I am happy too when my writing could help others. Enjoy!
actually we can't tell you where the location is because we haven't exploring it yet. But you can backup all your data using Mi PC Suite and the file will be saved as .bak file.
hope it help :)
is there any specific type of video that can't be transferred? have you try to transfer /copy the common format file of video such as mp4 or 3gp?

Turning on Debuging mode wasnt working for me earlier but it worked somehow later so ill say keep trying enabling and disabling debug mode itll work eventually
it's normal when you just updated your OS the settings will set to default, which mean that the USB debugging also turned off. You need to unlock and activate the USB debugging again. hope it will help
I was just given a Redmi note 4x and I am trying to copy media files from Redmi to Windows 7 PC. I followed your instructions to the letter. My PC sees / recognises device Redmi but when I click it, there are no files nothing, I then downloaded MI PC suite and installed it sucessfully on the same PCC but MI PC suite doesn't recognise my device and keep saying NO DEVICES Connected. Please help, much appreciated.
