With the recent availability of the Android Wear SDK, I thought I should try developing for it, and Android in general. Got some app ideas to try out. So, in short my current ROM does not have the Settings > Developer Options option to get to Enable USB Debuggingso I can connect to my phone via ADB over USB.
My question is two fold.
Assuming I am not blind, and Developer Options really is missing, what am I messing up?
or
Which 4.4.2 build gives me the option for USB debugging and the other developer settings?

I'm clueless......where is this option? How are y'all able to root this device without the option? I never had to play where's waldo with the freaking usb debug option with any other android phone. Can somebody help me out? Please and please?
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Tap on Build number until it says that You are now a developer or something like that. Now you can find Developer options in Settings and can enable USB debugging

Has anybody used Asus Fonepad 7 for USB debugging on Windows?
Please let me know if it works without trouble.
Or, will Samsung tab 3 be a better choice than Asus Fonepad7 for app development(with usb debugging option)?

i just buy a Asus Fonepad 7 K012 as well. and now trying to root it. i found the way to go to development option. it's from settings > about > sofrware information > build name. and it will pop some message that you are the developer now. so back to setting. there will be an option above about it is developer options.
wish this could help.

Hi,
I have a very strange issue and I am hoping that someone has a solution to this problem.
The tablet SM-T705 came with Build number KOT49H.T705XXU1ANG2 out of the box and it is not upgradeable.
Recently I bought a samsung galaxy tab s t705, The first thing that I wanted to do is root my new toy.
Obviously the first step in the process is to enable USB Debugging but it is a no go !
Here is what I am doing:
Settings > General > About device , Then tap the Build number 7 times.
Once I got the message that the developer mode is now enabled, I go back to the General tab but the "Developer options" are nowhere to be found.
I installed Nova launcher and tried to crate a shortcut for for the "Developer options" but all it does is throw me to the General settings tab in the settings.
I tried to factory reset the device and repeat the process but not luck.
I even tried some apps that are just shortcuts for the Developer options but it didn't help.
Any suggestions ?
I really need root (cant stand all the bloatware).
Thank you for your help !

Your on an old firmware, so that means you'll need to upgrade. Download mode does not need usb debugging. Simply put your device in download mode, flash newer firmware with odin, then root with cfautoroot. USB debugging is only needed to connect to PC while device is on. Hope this helps!
Thank!

This is the latest version based on Samsung's website and I really need to get usb debug going (not only for root).
Thanks for the help.
Which region is the device?
Hi all,
Trying to install some apps on a connected car Android system. Apparently the manufacturer (probably intentionally) blocked the "unknown sources" option in settings by removing the OK button of the warning message (see image).
Trying to figure out ideas on how to turn it on. I have no root, no ADB, USB connectivity is limited to host mode only.
I do have access to Play store and developer options.
I'm running out of ideas here.... willing to give a small bounty if it'll help you.
Dear Community,
I am currently unable to activate the USB debugging mode on my unrooted Samsung Galaxy S9.
I have activated the developer mode.
USB debugging has alywasy been enabled in the past.
Since I wanted to use Helium, I double-checked that it is activated . but it is not.
The option is grayed out and there is a message saying "USB-Edugging mode will start as soon as usb is connected (translated from german)".
No matter waht I tried, nothing worked out.
Can you please help me out?
Best regards
Bacardi Man
I've noticed on older Samsung devices that if OEM Unlock is enabled then that will grey out USB debugging. The fix was to disable OEM unlock and reboot. Of course, if you're waiting on the 7 day thing to root that may reset the timer. I'm not sure about that since root will never be an option on my US version.
Thank you for the hint, but OEM unlock isn't activated and has never been as I am using Secure Folder (Knox).
Any other suggestions?

Probably won't help but worth a shot clearing CACHE from recovery

Good idea, but that did not work out either.
Am I really the only person with that problem?

Maybe, but wouldn't that be made official somewhere?
I never red about it.
Maybe too simple but in Developer Options>USB configuration do you have MTP selected?

Looks like it is probably KNOX causing it
https://seap.samsung.com/content/why-usb-debugging-mode-disabled-knox
https://seap.samsung.com/forum-topic/can-i-use-usb-debugging-mode-device-running-knox
Solution 3: Use USB debugging mode on a device running KNOX (For Samsung )
By default, My KNOX and KNOX Premium (through CellWe EMM) disables USB debugging on a device when it creates a secure container.
IT admins KNOX Premium (through CellWe EMM) can later enable USB debugging mode through the Admin Portal: Simply select Policies > Mobile > Samsung KNOX Device Settings > Restrictions Settings > Permit USB debugging = Yes. On the device, you need to go to Android Settings, enable Developer options, then enable USB debugging. The exact steps vary depending on your Android version, as described in Using Hardware Devices.
If you are using My KNOX, you cannot enable USB debugging mode while the container is installed. Unfortunately, you have to root your device and uninstall 'My KNOX' (enter Knox, chose Knox settings app -> More Information -> unistall Knox.), then you will be able to turn on USB debugging mode.
