It sounds like you are using a charging cable, or a cheap data cable.
I would try a quality data cable before going down the rabbit hole.
You should also state which USB protocol your phone uses. Different
USB standards have different requirements. For example, USB 1.0 and
2.0 only need a 4-wire data cable (PWR, GND, D+ and D-). USB-C needs a
24-pin data cable and must implement the USB-PD protocol.
