Android Question USB drivers for my new Xiaomi Mi4C

[Fab117]

Hi,
I just received my new Xiaomi Mi4C.
I installed the Rom sMiUI 7.3 based on 6.4.14 Beta (Android 5.1.1 LMY47V).
I tried to connect it to my IDE through USB, but I haven't found neither the USB Driver nor the way to activate the USB device.
Do someone know how to proceed?

Thanks in advance and have a nice Sunday.

You can always use B4A-Bridge.

I had a similar issue just recently.

B4A-Bridge is great for just about everything except when it comes to being able to take screenshots or video (sorry Erel).

The following is for Windows Only - specifically Win 8.1 - (No idea if the same issue/s plaque Mac OS-X).
To get the device drivers installed for an Android device using the generic Google USB drivers, the instructions might help:

1. Download/install the Google Drivers
   These can be downloaded from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
   or use the Android SDK tool to make sure that the USB drivers have been installed
   
   
2. Open Device Manager and find the Android device that has the exclamation against it (known as 'bang' to some of us older folk).
   
   
3. Right-click on the device and choose 'Update driver software...'
   
   
4. Choose the 'Browse my computer for driver software'
   
   
5. Choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
   
   
6. Leave it selected on 'Show All Devices' and click 'Next'
   
   
7. Click 'Have Disk...'
   
   
8. Click 'Browse' from the popup 'Install From Disk'
   
   
9. Navigate to the location where the Google USB driver is (you downloaded that earlier in step 1) and select 'android_winusb.inf' then click 'Open'
   
   
10. Click 'OK'
    
    
11. In the dialog 'Update Driver Software - Android' select 'Android ADB Interface' and click 'Next'
    
    
12. Click 'Yes' for the 'Update Driver Warning' dialog that is shown
    
    
13. Click on the Windows Security popup to Install
    
    
14. You'll now see 'Windows has successfully updated your driver software'
    Click 'Close'
    
    
15. In Device Manager the troublesome android device is no longer showing
    
    
16. You should now be able to connect your device and use it without B4A-Bridge and take screenshots etc.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Thank you for this very detailed tuto.
In my case I already installed the Mi PC Suite – MiPhone Manager (Erel's link) and it works.
However, sure that it will help other users.
