Hi,
How do I connect Teracube to the PC?

Depends on the goal.
For file transfer:
- Connect the phone to the PC using the USB-C cable.
- In the phone notification area, click on the Android system notification that says, “Charging this device via USB”.
- Tap “File transfer” option once the USB preferences window opens up.
- Now you can browse the phone from “My computer”.
This process is also covered in this Google article - Transfer files between your computer & Android device - Android Help (look for Option 2)
Advanced users
For ADB debugging (high level steps)
- Enable developer options.
- Enable USB debugging under Developer options.
- Connect and run adb from windows command line.
Hi,
That does not work
The mobile phone does not show (File transfer) anything to choose from!
Isn’t there a software (driver) for windows to install?

Do you see a notification that says something like “Charging this device via USB”?

No, nothing!

Please use Screen recorder app to record your screen when you have connected the phone to the PC. Do bring down your notification shade to show all notifications.
Once recorded, please PM the video to me directly.
I’ve also been having this issue. Has it been resolved?

I’ve also been having the same issue. The notification screen with the File Transfer option used to appear but suddenly doesn’t anymore. I’ve tried restarting my phone and computer several times. If there any other way to do this?

Welcome!
Sorry for the trouble. It sounds like perhaps this notification got hidden/silenced.
If you open Settings and search for USB Preferences you can bring up the screen you’re accustomed to manually.

Great; that works. Thank you!

If you poke through your settings for Notifications, you might find that it has been Disabled/Silenced, and you can undo it from there to bring it back to the Notification shade.
Glad you have a workable solution until then, though!
I am trying to do this but I have a broken phone screen.
I want to try using a linux screen mirroring software so I can operate the phone from my computer. Then I can transfer the files.
I found this: GitHub - Genymobile/scrcpy: Display and control your Android device
But I get a "could not find ADB device error when I try to run it with the phone plugged in by a usb cable.
I need to get the data off the phone before I send it in for warranty service.

ADB will need to have been enabled and authorized on that device prior to the screen breaking, as it has to be confirmed by pressing a confirm/remember prompt on the screen.
If you do the screen replacement yourself at home with a replacement screen, you will not need to work around this.
I guess I just have to get a replacement screen somehow then, and use that to get into it?
I heard something about being able to use an adapter to be able to pluc a mouse and HDMI monitor in and use those to access it maybe? Probably couldn’t hook it up to a computer at the same time, but I might be able to enable ADB. Or like email out the files on it or something?
I need to figure out how much one of those costs and how it compares to a replacement screen.
I sort of got a new phone since I went for the present warranty option where I pay a deposit which is refunded when I send it back. they sent me the wrong one though. (A thrive phone) instead of the version I wanted.
I could potentially try using the screen from that one on my own phone, then putting it back on it after I get the data off, and sending them both back.
I am a bit worried about doing that though.

I do not believe we have Video-Out support for our Type-C port on the 2e models, so that will likely not work.
You can purchase a screen here:
I just did for myself as I dropped my 2e on tile floor right after I had removed the screen protector. Love the timing, haha.
