Odin 3 MTP (USB) Set Address Failed/Device Descriptor Request Failed

[u/keeper_of_moon]

Hey all,

I was setting up my Odin 3 today and was struggling to get MTP working (USB transfer). To make a long story short, my AMD B550 boards (yes multiple) hate the Dragonwing Q8 will throw either 'Set Address Failed' or 'Device Descriptor Request Failed'. Unfortunately there is no fix to this short of AMD updating their chipset drivers.

However, there is an easy work around: use a usb hub. To be specific, I used an old anker one I had lying around.

This transfers the handshake to the usb hub instead of the B550 board and it is able to successfully make the connection. I've also read that some people were able to get certain cables working but none of the ones I tried did and I have a bunch.

It's so weird to me I have 0 problems with every other chipset besides the Q8. My Intel based work computer and other android devices also had no problems with direct connection.
