Answer 1

=> For Enabling to developer Mode In Redmi Note 3 :

1: Go to Setting.

2: Click to "About phone" option.

3: Press 7 times to "MIUI version" option.

now you will see a Toast message "now you are developer".

=> Now you should install to Mi PC Suite from this .

1: Install the pc suite with connected your redmi.

2: Now go on Permission in setting and click "install via USB".

=>For Enabling USB Debugging :

1: Open Settings > Additional settings > Developer options.

2: Firstly enable to developer options then go below and find USB Debugging and enable it.

3: When your pc suite open then again repeat disable and enable to USB Debugging

For Redmi 4a also follow :

Answer 2

For Xiaomi Redmi 6, in Developer options do the following:

• Enable USB debugging
• Enable Install via USB
• Disable Turn on MIUI optimization
• On Select USB configuration select MIDI (this is what solved the problem for me)

Also, take a look at this question: ADB is not recognizing my Redmi Note device

Answer 3

I bumped into the same issue

Run below on terminal to find your VENDOR ID;

lsusb

This will display information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.Then, find your phones vendor id (it will be probably without any company names) and type,

sudo gedit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

and your adb_usb.ini file should look like:

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
# ie 0x2207
0x<!!!Your Vendor ID here!!!>

Disconnected and reconnected device and also needed to run below commands on terminal;

sudo adb kill-server && adb start-server

And the device was detected.

Answer 4

• Go To Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options
• Now Enable these options
  • USB Debugging
  • Install Via USB
  • Select USB Configuration to MIDI

Answer 5

If any of the listed options works and you can't see the notification of USB Debug when the device is conected, then Check / change your USB cable.

Answer 6

I Found this answer on Quora (Worked like a Charm in my case , tried other methods previously but they didn't work for me)

COMPILATION OF ALL POSSIBLE STEPS.TRUST ME IT WORKS!

I would like to improve this answer. Once you have enabled being a developer

1.Settings->About Phone->MIUI version .Click on it for seven times.

2.Go to Additional settings->Developer Options.Now you will have to enable two options in this.

a.USB debugging

IN developer options,Scroll to the end to find TURN OFF MIUI OPTIMIZATION.And you may need to reboot your phone.(no issues,nothing will happen).

And if it says you have temporary issues, disable Wi-Fi and enable your mobile network.Even then if it does not allow,

3.Settings->under APP SETTINGS section->Permissions.

4. Click on the top right corner and slide over the option INSTALL VIA USB.

5. Now don't forget to go back to Settings->Developer Options->Install via USB(enable).

When all these steps are done together, it works perfectly else,

In your android studio,

Go to FILE->SETTINGS->BUILD,EXECUTION,DEVELOPMENT.Under this,uncheck enable instant run.

I've been trying to look for the possible answers for almost a year now on my MI note 4.And it finally worked today.Happy to share.Enjoy.
