At first, I thought it might be a simple issue with the USB cable or the port on my PC. But after trying different cables and ports, I realized that the problem lay elsewhere. I began to suspect that the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) driver, which enables communication between my smartphone and PC, had somehow become corrupted or deleted.

I scoured the internet for solutions, scouring forums and tech websites for any mention of similar issues. That’s when I stumbled upon a thread on a popular tech forum, where a user had reported a similar problem with their Unihertz smartphone. The user had tried various troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling the MTP driver, but to no avail.

I decided to take a different approach. I tried deleting the MTP driver and reinstalling it, but this didn’t resolve the issue. I then attempted to update the driver, but this resulted in an error message stating that a compatible driver had been found, but an error had occurred during installation.

The error message, a frustrating sight for any user.

At this point, I was at a loss. I had tried every troubleshooting step I could think of, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until I stumbled upon a post from a user who had experienced a similar issue that I finally found a solution. The user had suggested using a third-party driver installation tool, which had resolved the issue for them.
