Command to turn on USB debug

So on my tablet, there is no option in "Application Settings" to turn on USB debug.
I have root and su access and a terminal.
Is there a command in terminal I can issue to turn USB debug on?

On my phone its saved at
/data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
Maybe its the same on your tablet?
Edit: If its in the same place this command should work.(not tested - use at own risk! - worst case scenario...wipe data).
echo 1 > /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Bingo! That got me going.
Ran that command as 'su'
It didn't come back with any errors, so I assumed it worked.
Plugged into the computer, said recognize device. Listd it as a <NULL><NULL> USB Device.
Go to my My Computer, and it shows an E: drive, but cannot open it. I select to Mount my USB in the notification area and now I can see my SD card.

Where did you find where that is saved?

Wow! mines located there too and I can change to 1/0 by editing it through text editor program

just so you guys know. what seemed to work for me was to
go to about phone or tablet under settings
scroll to bottom where it shows build number
tap build number 7 times
developer window now shows. This works in android 4.2

This works from a terminal emulator (with root permissions) and from TWRP or any other terminal supporting recovery:
WARNING
Only use this method if you are sure the property files are located under /data/property/...
Enable adb functions:
Code:
echo 1 > /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
echo 1 > /data/property/persist.service.debuggable
echo adb > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
Disable adb function:
Code:
echo 0 > /data/property/persist.service.adb.enable
echo 0 > /data/property/persist.service.debuggable
echo mass_storage > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
If it worked for you, a thank you is always appreciated!

Huawei Ideos Super FAQ

This is an FAQ for the Huawei Ideos as there have been many questions on how to do the same things. Hopefully this should help. There are other FAQs but this one tries to compile as many as it can into one FAQ.
Feel free to reply to this if there are any questions or if you want me to make any additions. The FAQ won't be complete to begin with but I will add as I get time.
One thing I will say is that I WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. I AM PROVIDING THE INFORMATION AND WILL TRY TO HELP YOU IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BUT I CAN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
1. How to root the IDEOS
This can be done quite simply by adapting what quail wrote:
There is a couple away you can go about gaining root access with this phone I have tested all 3 ways but only had success with 2 of them.
a) You can download 'z4root' from here (WORKS)
b) Search the XDA forums for 'SuperOneClick' which requires mono to work on Linux. I have read people that have had success with 'SuperOneClick' but that was not the case for me. (HAVEN'T CHECKED)
c) My preferred method: (HAVEN'T CHECKED)
Prerequisite:
knowledge of Linux and Terminal
knowledge of ADB (guide available in forums)
I did all this using Debian (testing) 64bit, Android SDK.
Creating correct permissions to access the phone via USB:
i) create
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
ii) in the file put
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
iii) then
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
iv) restart udev or reboot
Downloading and/or Installing required software:
1) Downloading and installing the android-sdk from: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Downloading and extracting 'SuperOneClick' (you will only need these 5 files: rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk)
3) Copy rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk into the platform-tools directory of android-sdk. Put phone in debug mode.
4) From a terminal (command line) change to the android/platform-tools directory and carefully do these steps.
Check to see if adb can see your phone properly:
Code:
./adb devices
You should see the serial number of you device, if you see bunch of '?' you have done something wrong.
Now for the fun part rooting the phone: <= no phun intended hehe
Code:
./adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
Code:
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage
Code:
./rageagainstthecage
5) Now wait until you get kicked out from adb before you do the following:
Code:
./adb shell
If everything worked now you should see a "#" instead of the "$" you saw previously in the adb shell which means you shouldn't get "permission denied" in the following steps:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mdtblock4 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
./adb push su /system/bin/su
Code:
./adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
Code:
./adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
Code:
./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /system/bin
Code:
chmod 4755 su
Code:
chmod 4755 busybox
Code:
chmod 4755 sqlite3
Code:
./adb reboot
Now you should be able to use apps like 'Cache Cleaner NG', 'Root Explorer', 'SetCPU' etc that require root access to work correctly.
Enjoy​
2. How to flash the Ultrakiller Recovery Image
Now this has been covered many times but there have been a lot of problems with the BSOD on the IDEOS. A few days ago Ultrakiller came up with a solution that works regardless of the LCD type. Now this was distributed as an IMG file so many people were confused so here is a link to one with everything you need included. All I did was remove the amon'ra image and copied the Ultrakiller recovery IMG to the folder and edited the scripts to point to the new file.
After you download the file:
* Put your device in bootloader mode - turn it off, then press the power button while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys (Yes, bootloader is just the IDEOS logo) WHILE YOUR DEVICE IS PLUGGED IN
* WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
* MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-mac.sh' followed by './install-recovery-mac.sh'
* LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-recovery-linux.sh' followed by './install-recovery-linux.sh'​
See Q3 if you have Windows and the prompt hangs on "Waiting for Device"
3. How to solve problems with drivers on Windows in bootloader mode?
1. Unplug your phone
2. Download and install PDANet from here - at the end of the setup it will tell you to plug in your phone - do that
3. Put the phone into bootloader (See Q2 above)
4. Go to device manager and right click on "Android 1.0" and click "Update drivers"
5. Click "No, not this time" and Next
6. When it asks you where to look for drivers point it to PDANet's install location
7. Hopefully it should find the driver and prompt you to install it - it will take some time
8. You can now access your device in bootloader!​
Thanks to the following people:
Quail for the base of the guide and the ROM I'm using - it's amazing BTW
Ultrakiller for the recovery image
Changelog:
21/01/2010: Initial writeup
22/01/2010: Added Q3 and made some minor changes​

i unfortunately deleted a system app and upon restarting my phone it wont boot.....it keeps hanging at the startup and reboots.. help me how to system restore...

Hi - the Ultrakiller recovery IMG in the ZIP from the Link above is "Ultrakiller.img.img". Dunno if it didnt work cause of this - sry didnt test, just downloaded new Ultrakillers "UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img", saved into that folder and changed the .bat to "fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img" and it worked for me Even superuser.apk didnt work for usb-root but z4root does it perfect and DroidExplorer showing files now .
Thanks so far to all investing their time here
P.S.: the HUAWEI background of Ultrakillers recovery is very delicious

Dear have u find out the solution of this problem?? COZ im also suffering from this if u find it then plz tell me [email protected]

I have downloaded a rom from xda-developers wiki from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Huawei_U8150_IDEOS
then updated my device software by going in to update mode(press vol up + end key + power button) .
This step returned me my original recovery.
But I am not going to recommend it bcoz i am facing problems like my cd drive which is automatically displayed has become inaccessible.
I am having problem to copy files to sd card.
My upgrade mode is not working now.
all these things were working immediately after the above mentioned process but I am now stuck with these things.
I think it is because i have flashed lower version number of rom on phone.
If you want to recover recovery mode only then I have successfully flashed UltraJack-Recovery 5.2.1 from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860189&page=24
Inform about your progress

Thanx. Very useful

Hi guys. I am in a lot of trouble with my ideos.
Tried installing a custom ROm using ROM manager and it failed, although the original ROM is still there and its booting up and working perfectly.
However, when i try to boot into recovery, only the lit blackscreen shows.
I have tried everything from running ULTRAjack recovery on windows(which only shows 'waiting for device' on cmd, with the pdanet drivers installed) to ubuntu(which shows 'waiting for device' on Amon-ra recovery and permission denied on ULTRAjack).
Could it be i didnt root the device properly since i used z4 root?
Any more ideas?

900/2100 or 850/1700/1900/2100
Hello, How do I tell which sub-model my U8150 is please? Either HSDPA 900 / 2100 / AWS or HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 1700. baseband = 22201003; build no.= U8150V100R001C183B825; IMEC = 355093040562676; IMEC-SV = 39.

Enable USB Debugging & One Click Root with Unlock Root Tool

Android Rooting (Simplified)

Hello everyone!
I know some of you are still roaming around here and there trying to root your phone; others wanting to root the phone without knowing what rooting is...
Wandering if it's illegal or not; and why should they be Rooting their Devices.
Well that's why i've done this tutorial with a lot of help from different sources.
It has been almost 2 days reading; reading; reading; and writing this tutorial to simplify and compact information scattered around this forum and the web.
Knowing the Basics
In order to explain everyone (specially noobs / starters); please follow this link.
(I advise you to open it in a "new Tab" or "Window"; so you don't loose yourself)
One thing before starting:
I found out that it is important to reboot the device and the PC after installing and Updating the following apps: "Super one Click" and SDK with your firmware version API's.
Some errors that occur during the Rooting with the "Super One Click" happen due to some kind of need to reboot of the machine and device.
As mentioned in Step #9
[...]
Now that you understand what rooting is; let's ROOT your Android.
P.S - As you already know; you are responsible for doing this process; or for anything that goes wrong.
“Rooting Your Android Phone”
Requirements:
Download: "android-sdk_r15" or Later Version.
After Downloading and Installing SDK; download the API's according to your Firmware Version.
(Check Step #1 and #12 of the Easy Rooting Method)
Download: "Super One Click Program"
(Link Goes to XDA Developers "Super one Click Program" Thread)
Download: "Java SE Development Kit 7" (or later)
I. (Easy Method - Using “One Click Rooting Program”)
Note: This method works for almost every Android phone.
1) Take a note of you brand model and android Firmware/ROM installed on you device.
(You need to know the version of your O.S to download your SDK API's later)
i.e:
“Model: Acer C4 Liquid Mini (E310)”
“O.S: Android Froyo v2.2”
2) Download/Install your Android Drivers. (PC)
3) Download/Install your Android SDK/ADB. (PC)
4) Open SDK (as Administrator) and mark the following things to download:
- “Tools” (Select the entire Folder)
- “Your Firmware/ROM Version Installed” (i.e: “Android 2.2 API”) (Select the entire Folder)
5) Now press “Install Packages” (The download will start; follow the next step after it’s completed)
6) Download / Install the Latest version of the rooting program (Super One Click Rooting Program); unzip it and install it on your computer.
7) Make sure that your phone has the "USB Debugging Mode" ON.
NOTE: To turn it on go to your device and press: “Menu” > “Settings” (Icon) > “Applications” > “Debug / Development” > “USB Debug”
8) Make sure you turn Off your Device and Remove the SD Card. It must be done without the SD Card.
9) Safely disconnect your Phone from the PC; and restart. (PC and Device)
10) When your Phone and Windows are ready; connect your phone to the PC.
Note: Just plug the cable. Do NOT select any option in the Phone.
Also you will notice that a small Android Icon will appear at the top left of the screen.
That means that you phone is prepared for debugging Mode.
11) Once again make sure that your phone has the "USB Debugging Mode" ON.
12) Run SDK/ADB as Administrator.
(Windows XP Users just double click to open)
13) Right Click the “Super One Click Rooting Program” and open it as Administrator.
(Or just double click; if you are using Windows XP)
14) Press "Update Check"; just to make sure you have the latest files. (Don't worry with the app version error; if it happens means you just downloaded it/you have the latest version)
14) Click the "Root" button and wait it to finish. (There should be no errors)
15) Once done; you should see “Superuser” permission in your phone’s apps.
Note: If so; your Device is Rooted. Congratulations!
II. (Advanced Method - Manually Rooting)
Pre-requisites
There are a few things that you need to have before you start rooting.
Obviously, you will need an Android device with Android 1.5 or higher and a USB cable to connect it to your computer.
You will also need to have some files for this:
SuperOneClick.zip and the Android SDK/ADB up and running on your computer.
(Run as Administrator if not using Windows XP)
If you are unfamiliar with ADB, GoodAndEvo site has an awesome ADB tutorial that should get you up to speed.
(Note that the tutorial in the Good and Evo Page is for HTC Devices)
First, we need to move some files around to make running commands a bit easier.
Unzip the SuperOneClick.zip and copy the following files: su-v3, busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter, and GingerBreak; to the Android “ADB Platform-Tools folder”; which is contained in the Android SDK folder on your computer.
i.e: C:\Program Files\Android\Android-SDK\Platform-Tools\
These files can be found in the following SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse folders:
- “Busybox” -> “Dependencies” folder
- “psneuter” -> “Exploit” folder
- “GingerBreak” -> “Exploits” folder
- “SuperUser.apk” -> “Root” folder
- “SU-V3” -> “Root” folder
Once copied rename “su-v3” to “su”.
If you are on Windows, you will also need to have proper drivers for your phone installed.
These can usually be found by going either to the manufacturer website or searching for the name of your phone and the word "Drivers."
Once you find drivers, download and install them like any other application.
Rooting your device
Now that you have ADB setup and the proper exploit files, you are finally ready to Root.
Before you start running commands, you need to put your phone in "USB Debugging" mode.
(Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging) and connect the device to your computer.
Note: Just plug the cable and do not select any option in you device.
Now, open command prompt to run some commands.
Windows Vista/7 Users:
(Press "Windows Key" > Type: "CMD" > Right Click on "CMD" and Run it as Administrator)
In Linux, open whichever terminal emulator suits you. Once you have a command prompt, you need to enter your platform-tools folder, also called a directory.
You can use the "CD" or Change Directory command to accomplish this.
If your SDK folder is called "android-sdk" the command should look like this: cd android-sdk_r11-windows/platform-tools.
This command will leave you with a shell prompt in the platform-tools directory.
From here, you can run the commands that will actually root your phone.
Be sure to run these commands exactly as they are written.
The commands with an "$" or "#" will only run after the "adb shell" command.
First, here are the commands that run the” psneuter” exploit and gain a root shell.
Type them in the following order.
…Yes after the ADB and the “$” there is a “Space”.
• adb devices
• adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
• adb shell
• $ cd /data/local/tmp
• $ chmod 777 psneuter
• $ ./psneuter
At this point, the exploit will run and close the shell.
You will need to run these commands to restart the ADB server.
• adb kill-server
• adb devices
Now comes the moment of truth.
Type:
• adb shell
...command to open a shell.
If you see a "#" sign, you have root access, so go ahead and continue to the next part of this tutorial.
If not, you can go back and try the previous steps again, or ask for help in the comments.
We now need to make this root permanent.
From the root shell you just opened, type the following commands.
• # mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
• # exit
• adb push busybox /system/bin
• adb push su /system/bin
• adb install Superuser.apk
• adb shell
• # chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
• # chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
• # mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
• # exit
• adb reboot
At this point, your device should reboot.
You can check for the Superuser icon in the app drawer, and then try a root only app like Titanium Backup.
If that app works, congratulations!
You have successfully rooted your Android device.
Prepare to enjoy all the benefits of root.
If you are having trouble with this tutorial or want to offer others a tip, please leave a comment.
Me or every XDA developer/user shall gladly help you out clarifying any error message or issue. (at least if i know how i will help)
Just make sure you did exactly as described; and only then post your question / expose your issue(s).

Greetings;
What's your device Make and Model?
Try/Check the following:
- Download the "Super One Click Program" Again. Since there is a new Fix for it.
Follow this Link to download and get more detailled info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- Check that you have the USB Debug Turned ON (in your device)
---> List > Settings > Applicatons > Development > USB Debugging
- Check what version do you have in your device; and verify that SDK Manager has downloaded your Version API's; and Tools folder. (Look at status tab; it should say installed)
- Did you Restart the machine after the install of Super One Click and SDK Manager? (Only then Root the Device)
- In a Last case there's a small percentage that your phone isn't compatible with "Super One Click".

Thanx a lot bro

nice share...but i already rooted my xperia

[SOLVED] - Manually enable adb debugging from recovery

First off, this may seem a noob question, but I am definitely not.
I have an Iconia A200 that now has a broken lcd screen. No display, no touch. I am able to get into the tablet from TWRP via adb, but not from Android (Jelly Bean). It seems I never enabled usb debugging when I installed the custom rooted rom.... I can access the file system and modify anything... Which files need to be modified to enable debugging in Android? Here is what I tried:
Added to default.prop and /system/build.prop
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
Edit: Must have had typos... It now works.

I'm going to stay general and assume that a skyrochet is a phone, you have a linux or windows pc with ADB installed (and the drivers to connect to your phone) and have TWRP or CWM Recovery installed already...
1) Start the phone in recovery mode - mine is power down and vol
2) Connect you cable to the pc and start a console terminal or cmd prompt
3) Run the following
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop
Once you reboot into Android you should be able to connect via adb.
If you google vnc over adb you can get a usable but very slow vnc connection then install Andriod VNC server for a little better performance.
That's the best I can do from memory ...

Enter the following commands:
Code:
adb kill-server sudo ./adb start-server adb devices
The issue is your not running adb server as root.

Hello. Does possible enable accesibility and set default tts via adb shell, and edit default.prop and build.prop?
Thanks and best regards.

I'm going to stay general and assume that a skyrochet is a phone, you have a linux or windows pc with ADB installed (and the drivers to connect to your phone) and have TWRP or CWM Recovery installed already...
1) Start the phone in recovery mode - mine is power down and vol
2) Connect you cable to the pc and start a console terminal or cmd prompt
3) Run the following
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop
Once you reboot into Android you should be able to connect via adb.
If you google vnc over adb you can get a usable but very slow vnc connection then install Andriod VNC server for a little better performance.

OMG! After my screen broke, i raged and became hulk. After 3 hours of internet-searching the hulk found your post and released me to become bruce banner again...
The thank you button was just not enough!

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I need a bit more help with this. I've successfully followed these instructions to enable the adb service on my i9505 with a dead screen, however it hasn't authorised it. When I try to connect I get the following error: error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
Is there anyway to bypass this confirmation dialog from ADB in recovery (Philz Touch)?
Thanks.

No, I'm quite sure it is booting to my custom recovery, as I have full ADB access to that. What I'm trying to do is enable ADB access to the Android 4.4.2 proper from my custom recovery. So far following the instructions in this thread I've managed to enable ADB there, but whenever you try to connect to this phone a dialog box is meant to come up asking if you want to accept incoming ADB requests from your computer's key. Unfortunately I have no way of selecting accept (or even seeing that dialog box), so I'm hoping there's a way to bypass it.

Hey mate,
Sorry to necro-bumb the thread. I have been reading and have much similar issue to your self. Maybe some drivers that automatically enable adb, android usb or MTP without debugging enabled might be something to take a look at?
Check this thread out >>> here
Hope that might help (you and I both?)
Besides that I am still searching for a post I saw where you can edit the init-rc in the kernel (the guy explained how to extract the boot.img) and then decompile the kernel, edit the init-rc, recompile the kernel and then flash it back in recovery.
At the moment I am really stuck with a customer device that is bricked, so have a bash script and busybox binary that loads from a signed update.zip that should allow editing of the init-rc and add the lines mentioned in this thread to the build.prop and system.prop.
Fingers crossed it works for a completely stock device :fingers-crossed:

Hi mate, did you manage to get into the customers mobile? I have the same problem as I'm locked out with no access to enable USB debugging and a home button which does not work, meaning I can't load recovery mode to wipe the phone

Thank you, I had no clue how, but my phone's (MUCH Snail, aka MUCH W1, aka MUCH 78P01) manufacturer (China's Snail Mobile) had removed from Android's Developer Options menu the option to Enable/Disable USB Debugging.
I was looking all over the web for days, this was the only way I could effectively turn on USB debugging in my phone. Thanks!
There's only one difference, instead of performing the above steps from an ADB console window (for obvious reasons) I did it with Build.prop Editor, but first I needed to change permissions to 666 on the default.prop file (otherwise it wouldn't save my changes).
Curiously, every time I do a full reboot the default.prop file somehow is overwritten with the manufacturer's original settings - that doesn't happen when I soft reboot my device though. Any clues as to what could be reversing my changes at boot?

Everytime you boot your phone, the root path is extracted from ramdisk which is usually bound to kernel. As a result, your modification is overwritten. In order to modify files under root path(such as default.prop), you must change the file in ramdisk.
There is many tools and tutorials about this task, I think this is a good point to google.
Addition:
The poster of this thread try to edit default.prop via adb, which is not possible to achieve, at least, for every android device I has hold.
For the unauthorized issue, It's because secure adb, which could be disabled via ro.adb.secure=0, but if there is a ro.adb.secure=1 in default.prop, modification of ramdisk is needed.

I had edited both default.prop AND /system/build.prop not knowing which one to use. This worked for me on JB and I used the tablet for a while after that.

In my view, the /system/build.prop works.

I am a huge noob and i dont really understand where i am inputing that code ?

I hope these links are still valid, all is good and working October 5th, 2014, if any links die, please contact me and i'll see if i still have a copy of the files in a backup.
Device was rooted using the following software, from tutorial with these listed steps (below, cannot post links yet sorry) :
Software: Vroot App – VRoot_1.4.2.3195_Setup_95.exe @ a TinyURL
Tutorial: the root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi from ninjaromeo
Steps:
Make sure you have downloaded the above file.
Install it on your PC or Laptop.
Make sure that you have installed USB Drivers on your PC.
Then Open the installed program.
Now connect the phone to Computer using Original USB data cable that you got it when you bought the phone. Because using other kind of cables may not be detected by the computer. So only we are recommending to use the original.
Make sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone.
Then wait for the Vroot to detect the device.
After that click the green button.
Then in a few seconds your mobile will be rebooted.
When it reboots your device must be rooted.
Then go to the Google Play store and download the SuperUser app or update it.
Now your mobile has been rooted successfully.
Then you can remove the phone from the Computer.
Normally first boot take some long time to complete. It will install the updates on the first boot. So, wait un till it finishes the booting process.
If your phone has stuck on the welcome screen or boot screen, just remove the battery and re insert it and do the above steps again.
Additional (important) software installed:
Terminal Emulator for Android

Phone is rooted without issue all software installed fine but bcmon.apk (for wireless monitor mode) is not functioning by out of box root but i am working on it, arghum... aircrack-ng also does not function out of the box, titanium backup functions correctly and phone appears to operate perfect after Gmail.apk (bloatware) was removed (after many super stressful hours of directory scanning and OS information gathering but not bad for $99 and some mind numbing research lol!).
Argh... will keep posted on bcmon
Current issue (October 06th, 2014 12:48AM EST +10) = <message>command: 'cp' failed with exitValue = 127</message>
so...
install the following BusyBox to help get bcmon to work on this device:

then... now... i have arghum... downloaded the entire bcm4330/ directory from bcmon googlecode /svn/trunk/ and simply copied to the phone's sdcard via usb mode.
opened terminal (on phone) in su mode, navigated to bcm4330/driver/src/bcmdhd/ and attempted to launch sh build.sh but now have the following error:
"can't cd to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/app_HOME/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210
make: command not found"
More of a note really, a side bit of information
... installed Android SDK (Eclipse) and prerequisites (Java 64bit, in Windows), with phone connected via usb, and sdcard usb mode disabled (card mounted on phone and not windows).
Simply extraced archive to desktop (C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702).
Within the extracted folder you will find the following directory (providing the same versions) "\sdk\platform-tools" and within there resides the adb.exe windows command line tool.
I have now opened a command-line window (cmd.exe) at this directory ("\sdk\platform-tools", held shift and right-clicked on folder, windows 7) and issued the following commands:
adb reboot
adb /proc
things appear to have executed perfect, so i CUT all files and folders from the directory "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools" and pasted them into a new folder called "backup", i am now left with three files "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll", "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" and one folder "\backup" in this directory...
i now re-execute the following command:
adb /proc
it would appear as though all the files that i CUT from this directory are in fact being rebuilt...
the adb.exe windows process finished with the result:
"31308 files pulled. 0 files skipped."

i dig this QR --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1164149
and have concluded the following results.
bcmon is useless!, wifilog does not work on Alcatel one touch pixi 4007e but does on ZTE Telstra UNO T12, WiFiReaver, Wifi Analyzer and Wi-Fi Direct are all that is needed, in fact i have uninstalled bcmon and BusyBox.
Use mobiles to locate networks and normal means for wireless traversal, why else do people buy mobile phones?.
For an extra note on this model phone (and this will be posted in a separate thread) and help on removing apps manually (i had to do this as android would not allow me to uninstall and it was no longer listed as an installed app in Google Play )
I used the following commands (In Terminal Emulator) in this order to remove Wi-Fi Direct (in this case but same process should work for other apps) manually (remember this is only a backup of the app and not a complete removal in the phone system, bricks are not to be made but found, this merely removes the app from the android dashboard/desktop/app list)...
su
ls
cd system/app
ls
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mkdir backupwifi
mv WifiWsdsrv.apk backupwifi/WifiWsdsrv.apk
mv WifiWsdsrv.odex backupwifi/WifiWsdsrv.odex
mv WifiContactSync.odex backupwifi/WifiContactSync.odex
mv WifiContactSync.apk backupwifi/WifiContactSync.apk
mv WifiP2PWizardy.odex backupwifi/WifiP2PWizardy.odex
mv WifiP2PWizardy.apk backupwifi/WifiP2PWizardy.apk
And to actually remove the backupwifi folder (completely remove everything from system) issue the following command...
rm -r backupwifi
