Go into settings then at the bottom about phone. Find software information, Look in there for ‘build number’ then keep tapping the words build number until the phone says ‘you are now a developer’. Go back then into developer settings then scroll down to ‘usb debugging’ and enable it. Once enabled go back to the main screen then try connecting to the computer again.

Hi @midhunmn,

Have you tried a different known working compatible USB cable?

Have you proved that the PC'sUSB port works OK when you connect the pendrive to it?

It doesn't have to be an OTG cable when connecting to a PC but if you connect a pendrive to the phone it does, as the phone needs to supply power to the pendrive. The PC has its own power supply
