[Q] Trying again: Rom with USB debugging set by default? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've got a stock Galaxy S ROM (factory reset - silly, don't ask) with a Speedmod Kernel and a broken screen. Do you know of a ROM (uploadable using ODIN) which turns USB debugging on by default?
Thanks in advance.

Dont know of a ROM that can do that but voodoo has a debug mode option. Its not the same as usb debug but maybe it will help. If you get into recovery i or someone else can give you directions (how many and which keypresses can get you to it) to activate it.
If your trying to access the device via ADB im fairly sure you can access it in recovery.
Why do you need debug mode? If its to replace the screen by Samsung I have read they don't care or look at the software, just replace it and see if it works..

Can't find much information about it, but it might just be a logging option rather than a control.
I haven't been able to access the device in recovery mode via ADB yet. Possibly missing recovery mode through improper key-press timing due to the broken screen, but not sure.
USB debugging enables control of the phone via the computer using ADB and utilities such as "Android Screencast".

[Q] annoying niggle - USB Debugging

just a quick question XDAers.
I've got an anoying 'problem' at the moment and was looking for some advice.
Whenever I restart my phone [either battery dies, or using recoverd/ download mode] and connect it back to my PC, it always connects with USB Debugging on, so then i have to go into the settings and disable this.
I know its not a problem, but its just anoying and thought that maybe someone might be able to advise.
I am currently on JPY firmware, running Webstars Ultimate ROM V6.5 with SpeedMod Kernel.
Thanks in advance, Matt
does noone else have this problem?
As far as i know, speedmod sets usb debugging after you used cwm recovery mode. This is for your own safety in case the flash or some setting goes wrong, so you can still access the phone via adb from a computer.
USB debug should stay deactivated after a normal reboot if you have it deactivated before.

ah you may be right, i just did a normal re-boot and the usb de-bugging did not activate. then i rebooted to recovery and restarted and debugging is now ticked.
thanks for that

[Q] Display broken but no USB Debuging enabled

Hi
I read some Threads already but none of them helped me.
That is why i´m sorry that there is a new threat with the same things that are already in the forum. But nothing helped me.
My display is broken but i have secured my SGS 1 before ==>
USB Deb disabled and also by connecting to a PC you have to push on the display for selecting what to do (USB drive, Kies, ...)
I can not press anything on the display because it is broken. I tried already some programs to get my photos from the phone. But every tool requires USB deb. to be enabled.
Is there any reason to get to my data?
Please help!!!
Do you have CWM Recovery installed?
You are able to mount the sdcard from cwm recovery.
If you don't have it, just flash gingerbread bootloader. You can find guide from Insanity cm thread how to do it.
CWM Recovery is not installed
I will try to flash / Lets have a look at the thread
There is also the problem that USB Deb. has to be enabled respectively to have a display which is working

[Q] SGS+ I9001: Display bricked, how to save data?

Hello everybody.
My phone's display is bricked. In the meantime already bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus but nevertheless I would like to save all the data from my internal SGS+ storage. The difficulties I have are:
1. no chance to unlock the phone after boot, cause I don't know where to push the buttons
2. no chance to get into recovery
3. no idea, if it is possible and how i could maybe save the data via download mode?!
So, does anybody of you know a possible way to get the data from my internal sd on my computer? besides i would like to reset the phone afterwards to prepare it for sale. any ideas for that?!
Thank you all for help!

is your phone rooted and can you use adb shell?
then you can dump the partitions
edit: if you have succesfully all data restored, flash a stock rom with odin, before you will give the device away (all your personal data will gone)

if you had the usb debugging active then it`s easy, just start it, download from web QtADB or Android Commander (google them), connect phone to PC and if it`s recognized then all you have to do is to copy from it all you want/need
if you don`t have usb debugging then you have to find a way to mount internal storage in recovery doing it blind isn`t hard, you just need 2 screenshots from exactly the same recovery you had installed on your SGS+ then use one of those programs above to copy from your phone. (I think recovery can be accesed w.o. usb debugging enabled by default)

yeah, my phone's rooted and i've already flashed different ROMs with ODIN - thanks so far.
but I've never used the Android SDK and adb shell before, so I have no idea how to connect the phone (via usb mount in recovery? via download mode? boot normally without unlocking it?) and how to use the adb with which commands!?

Thanks for the tools, look helpful and as I remember, USB debugging was activated. But should this even work, if my phone is still locked (with this Android-security pattern and SIM-lock as no PIN can be entered)?
Finally thanks for your quick feedbacks!

ofc it will work as long your phone is rooted (for the system access) and usb debugging on. The pin doesn`t lock you phone entirely, just the SIM
I tried QtADB and it's great! Exactly what I've been looking for, thanks! The better alternative for people who are not used to the adb shell and easy to use for some basic tasks.
edit: faced some problems while copying data with QtADB, therefore tried Android Commander and could copy all files properly

[Q] I9000 Screen Shattered - Need Data Recovered

Hi everyone. I have searched the forums with no luck. I have a I9000 that has a shattered screen and as a result there is no image on the screen nor will touch work at all....I know, big surprise right? My goal is to get the data off of the phone. The phone is booting as I can hear the sounds and responds to Doanload/Recovery Mode commands etc. Before I would plug it into PC via USB and I would have to select one of three options on how the USB should behave. One of those options would enable Kies to access the phone. Because the screen is damaged, how can I force the phone to connect with Kies, or the computer for that matter?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Chris
hi, it will depend on what the usb is set to, if you switch the phone on and connect to the PC you should be able to use it as an external disk. If not start Kies then connect and it should connect, then you can recover your files

Hi thanks for the reply. Kies actually doesn't recognize the phone and suggests that I turn on Developer Mode (if I remember correctly).
I read of a way to recover the data by activating the Recovery Mode and plugging in to USB. The issue there is I would almost need screenshots of the menus to try and navigate through and mount the device since the screen is unusable.

Strange experience, you can also try some of these options:
(i) Can use the TV out cable so that the screen is displayed on an external display [Use the 3.5mm TV out cable, even Nokia TV out cable works]
(ii) For using recovery, you should know the cwm/kernal that was installed, as the menu options vary? if not, what last ROM version you had installed, this may also help you get the exact recovery menu options.

I will try that with a 3.5mm to RCA that I have from a digital camera and see if that works. I have never rooted the phone so it's stock and whatever the latest Android version for that phone is. I THINK its 2.3.1 but not sure.

[Q] Need help making Z with broken screen usable

I have a Z here with broken screen/digitizer. ADB is not enabled, I want to enable through any means and then config it via vnc or similar with the long term goal of turning it into a headless mediaplayer(xbmc).
I am able to control it using the painstaking method of plugging in a usb kbd or mouse, doing some blind movements and then swapping that out for an mhl/hdmi cable so I can see where I am at.
With that I have been able to disable the lock screen, start terminal emulator, get into developer options and some other things.
The phone had previously been rooted and had adb enabled but my SO had updated it to stock OTA 10.4.B.0.569 (4.3)before The Drop without my knowing so I lost both of those.
So, the problem...I cannot enable adb. I can get into the developer menu but the options are greyed out. I cannot select anything. I don't know why. I suspected it was because there was a usb device plugged in (either mouse/kbd or screen) but I have checked a Z tablet running 4.2 and a Z1, which is running 4.4.2 and you can enable usb debugging with a device plugged in on both those. I tried toggling dev options off/on, but no difference. Annoying.
Because I have lost root I cannot enable it via terminal either.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery (Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v11 (FW:*10.4.B.0.569}*) from this this thread, linked from [HOW TO] Root 10.4.B.0.569 [ONLY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER]
In doing this the phone was reset to defaults, but it made no difference to the Dev Options being disabled. I can get into it, but most options are still greyed out, so still no adb
So now I am stuck. With no screen, I have no idea what steps to take to flash the SuperSU zip file from recovery. This is where I need some help
I have no problem wiping the phone, installing custom roms etc. but I need to get root and adb working somehow.
Is there any reason why USB debugging, amongst others, in Developer Options might be disabled?
Possibly a permissions problem? Fixable without root?
Could someone running the same recovery possibly detail the steps needed using the hardware buttons (up, up, power, down, power, etc) to flash supersu so I can get root?
Assume blank external sdcard with only that zip on it
Could someone recommend a custom rom that is safe to install on that software version that has root and maybe adb enabled?
Would it be possible to flash that from fastboot?
afaik, only stock/signed roms can be installed that way?
If I got adb working, could I sideload a rom/zip from that recovery or another non-touch recovery(swipe to proceed is definately out)?
Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas or alternative methods to attempt, in order to get control over the device?
thanks in advance to anyone that can help!
