I'm having a weird problem that I have no idea on possible solutions. I bought a Xiaomi Mi A2 to do some Android development, and both Ubuntu Machines I have here (Both desktop and laptop) can't recognize the phone.
It shows as charging, but lsusb does not show the devices.
I have another Xiaomi phone here (Pocophone F1) that appears as normal.
I know that it can be a hardware problem, but my idea is to test some tips before returning the device and getting another one.
lsusb with Pocophone F1:

Tried enabling / disabling developer mode and usb debugging, also tried to boot in fastboot mode, changing cables, cleaning the usb c connector, etc. Nothing helped.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
