МТС Smart Turbo not connecting to pc but charging

Recently, I was very tense when I realized that MTS Smart Turbo does not see the computer, however, then I managed to figure it out and return everything as it was, now I can still take pictures off on a PC, do flashing and can even get root. Below I will talk about the causes and solutions to the problem.

PC won’t connect to the MTS Smart Turbo via USB

If the computer does not respond to the connected smartphone, then the reasons are as follows:

1. The most common is a crash in Windows OS, download and install here this fix (patch);
2. The cable has puncture damage, maybe a cat gnawed it yesterday;
3. USB does not work on a PC or smartphone (for example, due to electrostatic shock);
4. The drivers for Windows have flown, put the patch on the link above and try to install the drivers again;
5. In Android 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.0 Pie, 8.0, 7.1, 6, when connected to a PC, the “Charging only” function is selected.

Solutions to the problem

As you can see, there are 2 types of problems — physical and software. With the physical, everything is simple — if the phone is charging via PC, then everything works. With software — it is better to immediately install the patch for Windows, the one recommended above.

With the last problem, everything is simple, when connecting the phone to a PC, select the connection type — “File Transfer”.

If the PC sees your phone every other time, most likely you have a torn USB cable, replace it and preferably not with the cheapest $ 0.3 cord from Aliexpress (just throw money away), buy something mediocre, but there is little sense in chasing the expensive one. Red cable price — 1.5 dollars.

If nothing helps at all, you can get confused and upload photos to a computer via Whatsapp / Telegram and other messengers, but it will take a very long time and the photos will be compressed in quality, + while the files are downloaded, while they are downloaded to the PC — double work and Sisyphus labor.
