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

=>For Enabling USB Debugging :

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

For Redmi 4a also follow :

Open Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Select USB Configuration > MTP.


I am not sure if you are always looking for a solution. However, I had the same problem, and to fix it, just try the following steps (it works for me):

  1. Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer options
  2. Disable the "Turn on MUI optimization"
  3. Reboot your phone

It should work after rebooting your device. Good luck


Xiaomi interface has a lot of "locks". To use your Xiaomi device to test your apps you need to:

  • enable developer mode:

    • Settings > About Phone > MIUI version.
    • Tap the MIUI version message until you receive a message telling you that you are a developer.
  • enable usb debugging (inside the developer menu).

  • enable fast-booting (I don't know if this one is necessary).

  • install the Mi PC Suite.

  • Use a USB port from behind of your computer.

  • allow third party's apps on your device.


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