USB-file-transfer and adb sideload not working

Question

I have a One Plus 6T. When I got it 1 year ago, I flashed the newest firmware from the official One Plus page (https://www.oneplus.com/de/support/softwareupgrade/) via fastboot in both slots and then installed LinageOS 17.1 for fajita. Now 18.1 is available since some time and I wanted to upgrade. The official page suggests using adb side load (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/upgrade) When going through the steps I noticed two symptoms:

1. USB-File transfer is not possible.
2. ADB does not recognize my device when it is in file transfer mode (it does work for USB-Tethering, MIDI and PTP)

I also see sideload failing:

I would assume that those symptoms are connected and I did something wrong with the linage installation, but since everything else (upgrades within 17.1, all apps etc.) I do not know where to look at. Any suggestions?

Edit:

Seems like I prematurely considered my phone to be the culprit, because of the custom setup. I did check it with another PC and file transfer works there without problem. Unfortunately, I cannot work with ADB there, but I will try to check my PC and iterate over the ADB-/Phone-Drivers.

Answer 1

Somehow my OnePlus was recognized by another huawei driver. Uninstalling this driver through the device manager solved the issue.
