Interesting question, How to turn on USB debugging with PC?

I didn't know, so Googled [emoji16]

I came across a few methods, some complex and some easy(actually only one easy)

So the best 2 options here(according to me) are-

First, the simple way

If your device supports it, then you can plug in a mouse and enable it in the settings. Done.

Second, the tricky way(root and a custom recovery required)

•Boot into CWM(or any other custom recovery), USB debugging is turned on there by default.

•Start the ADB shell on your PC

•Check for your device:

adb devices

•Restart ADB as root:

adb root

•Remount /system as rw (read-write):

adb remount

•Download build.prop to your pc:

adb pull /system/build.prop

•Make a backup of build.prop on your PC before making any changes.

•Now you can edit build.prop using your favorite editor(Notepad++ if you ask me). Add these lines:

persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

•Upload the edited build.prop to your device:

adb push build.prop /system /build.prop

•Fix permissions:

adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

•Reboot your device:

adb reboot

That should do it.(You might also have to add these lines to default.prop)

None of the credits goes to me, it's all thanks to internet.

It's not allowed to post links to other sites(I believe), so can't credit them properly but this thread [URL =" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2335799"]here[/URL] on XDA has been one of my resources. Give it a read as well and don't forget thank the OP of that thread if the method works for you.

You mean gapps?

No they are not compulsory but if you want Google play store and other Google services, then you'll have to flash a gapps package.

Also one thing that I'd like to advisor, try to quote the post that you're replying to just like I've quoted your post above, it makes it easier to understand and the probability of your question being answered is also higher that way because then I(or the person you're reaching for) can get a notification.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Well things are pretty tangled up aren't they..[emoji28]

I searched CWM for your phone too but got nothing.

I don't really think that you can turn on USB debugging with CMD just with a command.

Only if CWM was available or maybe a flashable ROM, then you could flash it via fastboot.

Let me think of something.

By the way, what chipset does your phone have?

An app like CPU-Z would be able to tell the SOC of your phone or maybe a look at the phone's build.prop. But since non of that is accessible right now, let's skip it.

I have an idea, tell me, did you download the stock firmware for your phone and can you boot into bootloader(fastboot mode)?

Are you supposed to flash the firmware with help of SP flash tool?

i dont know how to go to fastboot.

th biggest problem is i selected boot loader in LINK2SD and the device rebooted and everything is zoomed and the touch is not working , So,i have done Factory Reset from Recovery mod but nothing :(
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Where did you downloaded it from?

Are there any instructions attached?

If you are able to boot into fastboot mode and access the build.prop from the stock firmware, then we can prepare an update package to replace the build.prop on your phone and turn on the USB debugging and flash it with the help of fastboot (At least that's what my plan is, can't guarantee it to work though)

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You can't turn it on with CMD prompts. You need USB debugging on for ADB commands, which only work when booted into system. Fastboot won't work, as you need to be in system to turn on USB debugging.

Is USB debugging required to be turned on to use fastboot as well?

So as you can see I have bought Korean version S5 - sm-g900l (Lollipop!), it's got all these U+ apps built-in that I want to remove and also a lot of other default apps are in Korean (ie, built-in weather) and I want the English versions. Basically, non of the safe root methods are working (CF auto root, Towel Root), but even still my banking app won't work on a rooted device anyway. So what can I do, is there some way I can force Odin to flash the g900f stock firmware? Or a root method that will allow me to flash a European rom and still allow my banking app (Halifax) to run?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
No, it's not required for fastboot. But you can't use fastboot to turn on debugging. You have to be in system to turn it on. I see you are trying to edit build prop to turn it on. I'm watching to see if that will work. It's an interesting approach.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Thanks, I read it here on XDA, someone used adb in CWM and pushed edited build.prop and default.prop to the system. It worked for him.

I don't know anything about the default.prop other than it's present in the boot.img and to edit it we'll most probably have to flash a moded boot.img, it'll only and complexity to the already "a little complex" procedure.

I'm hoping that only messing with build.prop is enough.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Do the following:

•Check your USB cable(Some cables only charge and do not transfer data)

•Make sure that the cable it connected directly to the PC and not to a USB hub.

•Make sure that lennovo USB drivers for your phone are installed on the PC.

If everything's fine, then try with a different phone with USB debugging on and see if the PC recognizes that one(If not then try with a different PC.

With adb use

adb devices

To check if the device is connect to adb.

You'd know who's more knowledge just by taking a look at our profiles on XDA.

He's been here far before me, helping out people with there phones and Android.

I'm actually kinda new to android myself.

I bought my first android phone last year and it's only been somewhere around 6 months since I first rooted it.

I'll snip my previous post as well. I think I've outstayed the "noob welcome".
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Now about the ROM.

If you didn't find anything on XDA, you can search on Google for ROMs that are made for your phone, there are many other sites where people post ROMs.

So first thing you need to do is Google search, a lot of them.

However, if you're still unable to find anything, I recommend that you learn to port ROMs.

It might sound like a hard job, but porting already build ROMs from other devices(MediaTek) to your device is not that difficult, specially if it has the same SOC as your phone, for instance porting MT6572 ROM made for some other phone to your own MT6572 phone is extremely easy(like I've done in the past, believe me it's super easy).

Although if the SOC of both phones are different, then it'll be more time consuming.

Great! Now you're back on the stock ROM but this time rooted with CWM installed.

Now you can flash all the ROMs you want, but this time arrange a gapps package as well so you could have Google services on the custom ROM.

Or you might wanna stay on stock.[emoji4]

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
1.

There are many ways, but I guess the most common is through a custom recovery.

2.

No, it's the place were(I think) Google publishes the source codes of the different android versions and you can't use those directly.

3.

Well, that's sort of tricky to answer.

It depends on the ROM that you are going to flash(install) to your device and on what's your definition of the word "safe".

If you're new to all this, then I guess it can't be considered "safe" but if you follow all the instructions carefully then there's a very low probably that anything will go wrong.

I hope I've been able to answer your questions.[emoji4]
[General Questions and Answers] :
can you please tell me where can i download official android versions.

do ROMs refer to the androids os ?

and refer me to a thread to know more about ROM installing flashing (basics)....

thank you ^^
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Can you tell me your device's name and exact model?

What are ROMs?

Well I'm afraid, I'm not the person with exact definition(maybe someone else here can define it for you)

But I can tell you what I understand myself(everything might not be correct), they are variations of android made by companies and developers.

For instance you might have seen devices running 4.4.4 Android from Samsung and devices running 4.4.4 Android from HTC, even when the Android version Is same, still the OS on the phones look a lot different from each other and are loaded with different features.

That's because Samsung runs Touchwiz on top of 4.4.4 android which is there ROM of Android whereas HTC has SenseUI which is HTC's ROM for their phones.

Likewise, make individual developers develop their own ROMs and post them on internet, like they do here at XDA.

Also when you see the tag "official" with any ROM that doesn't mean that they are officializes by your device manufacturer but by the ROM franchise.

Don't.

That's your problem. Restore your apps, but not app data.

Or alternatively, you can restore apps with data a few at a time. When the problem comes up again, you can narrow it down.

Also, do not ever restore any google apps. They restore themselves.

Also don't restore system apps, just in case you didn't know that one yet.

What model S3 do you have? It sounds like you may have nv bricked yourself. Have you fixed this issue yet? Sometimes imei doesn't show but its not always lost, you might can still get imei to show if its still there. If its not then its possible to very carefully manually rewrite QPST(modem) but its pretty risky. It takes extensive knowledge which I don't have myself but I know it can be done. If you still have problems and haven't restored IMEI then contact Motorhead at Android Area 51, he's the Co-Admin/Global Moderator of the site and he's also pretty good with the modem/radio partition on the S3's and has manually rewritten the imei on the S3 before.

When you installed and setup links2sd, what stuff from your internal memory did you "link" to ext SD card? The reboot options you have did not come from links2sd, that is from something else you did, what was this other mod that gave you the reboot options? Was it an app or widget that you've downloaded and installed or is it from a ROM or .zip that you've flashed that gives you reboot options? Do you have custom recovery installed or stock?
