Are you looking to enable USB debugging?
Try this app

Some kitkat phones don't have the enable ART option for example, because of partition size issues. If you don't have it, you probably can't use it. Flashing a custom ROM could get your the options your are missing though.

Well there is a way to unlock developer options in android 4.4.2 - 5.0 but it works only in some devices. First go to settings -> about device -> build number and tap on it until it says "you have become a developer". Only works if your ROM really has developer options.

[Q] How to connect to Android device for development debugging

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] 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.

any no root mods

Hi I'm new to the z5 forums and I'm looking for any non root mods for my z5 as I cannot unlock the bootloader so I'm limited to non root mods any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Thanks for the help
If any apps cause trouble (or you don't like them) you can attempt to disable them via adb:
(for this you need to enable "USB debugging" via "developer options": Settings -> about phone -> Build number -> Tap 7 times)

I can't officialy unlock my bootloader so stuff like the adb you have linked me to will help a great deal obviously I can't really do much else but sometimes there is one or two things you can do without root
