[Q] How to connect to Android device for development debugging - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I have a WellcoM A69 mobile phone I would like to connect to with Eclipse for debugging purposes. It is running Android 1.5 cupcake. I'm a n00b here so I can't post a link to the specs, but it's easy to find them on Google (you may need to use Google translate for Thai language translation as this phone is for the Thai market).
Even though I enable the Development USB Debugging option, Eclipse doesn't detect it. Is there something in the ROM created by WellcoM that would prevent USB debugging?
I saw this with a MID Android tablet I tried before as well. Can they disable the debugging option even though the menu option for this still exists? Or perhaps there is something else I have to do?
For lesser known devices, what can I do to get access like this? How can I find out how to reboot the device, perform recoveries, install custom ROMs, etc.?
Thanks,
gonzobrains

[Q] Help with GUI Root with Check and Recovery

The main thread is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976605 but I can't reply to it (too new). I know there is some sort of security setting I need to change to put it in developers mode before the program will work...but can someone tell me what/where to make the chances. I can't seem to find it. Thanks!
OK, found that. You need to enable USB debugging mode in your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).
But when I plugged in the phone in debugging mode, it needed to install ADB drivers and can't find them. Where do I get them?
You will need to install the Android SDK on your computer. google it.
Apparently you also need Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 25

[Q] Support for K-touch U2

Hello, I have been searching for this information a while now, so I hope this isn't redundant. I recently bought an android in China, called a Ktouch U2. Yes, it's sad, my ability to read Chinese is very poor, so I have been having a ***** of a time finding a USB driver for this phone.
I want to root this thing, but when I read the step about making sure my adb drivers are installed, or usb drivers are installed, I really have no idea what to do.
My Chinese friend looked and sent me a folder titled Ktouch USB driver, but when I opened it, none of the items are written as apps, just "setup information" and "security catalog" files.
I want to root so I may use my VPN, and then see about downloading apps from Google instead of this cheap Chinese app market that came with the device.
What do?
I want to fix it so that I can just switch out SIM cards when I get back to the States and use it like an ordinary android.
try with superoneclick , and then you enable usb debugging at application>development>usb debug
when you dont know it , see d image
USB Driver
I can't do anything until I get the UBS driver for the device installed on my machine. Problem is, that after I downloaded from the manufacturer, it was just a zip file full of garbage:
msmdm.inf file
tymdm.inf file
tyser.inf file
tyusbser.cat
tyusbser.sys
...
What is this stuff? How do I make that into a USB Driver for my phone?

[Q] RCA 7" 8GB Tablet

I need help figuring out how to root a RCA RCT6077W22 tablet. It has Android Jellybean 4.1.1- v1.0.1, 8GB built in storage, 1GHZ processor, Google apps installed, kernel is [email protected]#132.I'd like to try to root it from the tablet itself if not I'm familiar with SuperOneClick as I've used it for my Samsung Galaxy S 4G before I should it. If it comes to that option I need to be able to use a rooting program on my computer that does not require internet the only internet I am able to use is the libraries. I have a laptop but no charger so my laptop is dead. I'm not a noon when it comes to rooting as I've mentioned I've done it before. Just need help finding a root for this tablet. I appreciate any help I get and thank you. If you need more info feel free to ask. I've also looked at the topic about the 4GB but its not that helpful is why I created my own topic.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I have the rct6378w2 RCA 7' 8GB tablet (4.2.2 JB). (Black Friday 2013 Walmart for $49)
I was able to root it by first installing the pdanet drivers (for adb access). And then using the kingo app, which you can get from http://www.kingoapp.com/.
Its free but closed source. I found it via this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MiZtZCqu4k
Worked even with the 1.0.2 update installed (which I have no clue what it did (17MB).

I cannot get pdanet to get the drivers. I cant find any drivers anywhere. Pdanet says to click ok after connecting, and it just says no android device found..I think there's an error box too.. I don't know how to fix it. I also have the tablet from the black friday event. Exact same one. Also, I have USB debugging on...
UPDATE: I found out the problem! The support files weren't in the root file I had the .exe in. I just moved the .exe to the same folder with the support files, and now I'm rooted and ready! Thanks!

how are you turning on usb debugging? I also have this tablet(purchased on black Friday from Walmart like everyone else) and mine doesn't seem to have that option anywhere. in fact, compared to the previous two android products I have, this device seems to lack ALOT of available functions. though I am capable of navigating a recovery menu at boot. but that doesn't do me any good for using pdanet. that seems to be my biggest road block. pdanet wont install because the onl;y way I can allow my device to connect to my pc with adp is using the adp updater in the recovery boot menu.

It is a hidden option that needs to be enabled. Follow this guide: www ninjaromeo com / enable-usb-debugging-developer-options-jelly-bean/
I just enabled this option on my Walmart BF 7" RCA RCT6378W2 tablet.
Sorry I had to mangle the link because XDA wont let me link external sources yet.
Glad I could help a few. Now, someone get on a functional recovery ;p
I have poked around a little at the stock recovery, backing it up, etc.. But am not brave enough to try and get CWM working on it.
I was able to use th Xposed framework for a few mod's no problem. Battery mod, reboot menu, hide navbar, etc.. But Xposed can only do so much.
Edit: I heard on reddit this tool also works for rooting. I have not tested it (already rooted with the other method).

Getting Debugging to work.
I was not drunk when I made this post...I have the RCT6378W2 if you go to about tablet in your settings and repeatedly tap the build number...the deveolper options will appear...I fell out of my seat when i discovered this.
On a side note...if you repeatedly tap the android version...a cute picture of the android jellybean will appear. Try it.

1: Install drivers. Seeing as RCA does not provide drivers, we had to find some that work. That's where PDANET comes in. Their drivers support a very wide range of Android devices. We are not installing it to tether. We just want the drivers it provides. So download PDANET, install, let it detect your device, install the drivers, and then afterwords you can uninstall it.
2: Enable Developer Options. Settings>About tablet> Tap Build Number a bunch of times till it's enabled.
3: Enable USB Debugging. Options>Developer Options>Click On (up top)>Then checkmark USB Debugging
That should clear up some of the confusion in this thread. How you root after step 3 is up to you. Personally, I did it with Kango. Which was straight forward. Connect device, hit a button, Say yes to a couple questions, reboot, presto done.

Thanks, that sorted things out.
To make clear, and aid in any other inquiries, I managed to find an ADP connection mode, among other android update features. with the device off, hold volume up while turning the device on. it should boot to an image of an android with an open chest panel and the words, "no command". if you push volume up again it will provide you with options and instructions on how to execute. you can manual update the device with an SDK through USB ADP mode this way. I'm not sure if that makes anything simpler or generates a work around but I hope it helps with future development for this device.
Well got root now we need a recovery...
For some reason when trying to make sure I can send adb commands to my tablet, I am showing no devices connected. I check in device manager and it shows up as Android ADB interface for the tablet. These drivers were installed with the latest version of PDANet. Thoughts or how were you all able to get the drivers fully loaded and working? I have developer options already enabled and USB debugging mode is checked.

Android 4.2.2
Kernal 3.0.36+
PDANet+ 4.12
Windows 7 64 Bit (I also tried it on my windows 7 32 bit computer)

You need to create "adb_usb.ini" in "Users>Username>.android".
Inside "adb_usb.ini" insert "0x2207" and save.

I had this problem too. make sure you're using the most recent version of pdanet. for whatever reason the older version just hang there and dont work right.
Installed the latest pdanet. It wont install the driver. I checked the device manager and it still shows the device without the driver. not sure what else to try..

[Q] Droid Maxx Developer Options Gone?

So I'm trying to root my Droid Maxx post 12.15.15 System Update and I'm having trouble. I'm not new to rooting, but I am inexperienced using ADB commands.
Anyways, like any non-lazy person would do I've researched, and searched, endlessly on how to achieve root. I found the "RockMyMoto" exploit, but I'm having problems and looking for help. Before I go on it is my understanding "RockMyMoto" is for the Droid Ultra, but is suppose to work on the Droid Maxx.
So I've done everything the forum says, by jcase (thanks for your work by the way), but I've run into a problem. It seems with the newest system update they've removed Developer Options from the phone. Either that or I can't find it! I've searched my settings high and low, but it's a ghost and doesn't exist. I need to access this to check USB Debugging option so that I can used ADB.
Can anyone else confirm it is no longer on their device either or help me find it?? Also, can anyone of you out there tell me if the RockMyMoto will NOT work for the Droid Maxx???
I want to complain while I'm here also, for Motorola removing that option (if it really is gone). That's some BS. I've had Motorola devices ever since the OG Droid and it feels like they're trying to prevent me from doing what I want with my phone!

Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number a few times > It will say your a developer now > Go back and you will see developer options above About Phone > Check USB Debugging option in Developer Options
USB debugging is mainly for developers, allowing them to use the android sdk (software development kit) to communicate with the device. However, USB debugging can be extremely useful as it allows us to use adb commands which can pull and push files to the device even when it does not boot correctly.

It wasn't so bad, once we knew what to do. My question, why make it a "secret" passage? On another note, is anyone having trouble with adb commands with the Maxx? I have been rooting phones since original Droid, and for some reason, I can't get the push command to work with my Maxx.

Looking for root for Nobis nb7850s

Does anyone know where I could find hack for Nobis nb7850s which equipped with Allwiner A31s CPU? I am also looking for ROM file which can not found from official source.
Thanks,
This nice tablet seems to be universally ignored by the Android dev and hacking community, and its manufacturer. It is locked down *tight*. If you do enable developer options all you have access to are Process Stats and Revoke USB debugging authorizations - which is useless because you can't enable USB debugging.
