Nothing.
You can root your phone, enable usb debugging or not, they are no difference if you don't use adb binary.

it is for the pc to establish a direct connection with the phone. if you do not turn it on, there is a chance of getting FAIL in odin.

This is FALSE. No link between rooting the phone with ODIN and the debugging mode.
When you try to root your phone (with ODIN), the device runs a special bootloader (Volume-Down + Home + Power buttons). Odin can flash kernel, recovery and all without any debugging autorization.
Although, debug ON gives nothing interesting for non-developer person without root access (ex. adb remount...).

[Q] Phone not recognized by Windows anymore

It happend after I flashed JK5 (I lost track with so many updates)
The phone is not recognized by windows anymore, cannot access odin or anything.
I have another vibrant and is still working so drivers are installed and everything.
The phone does recognize the connection, lets you choose, can get into download mode, but is just not being seen by the PC,
Since the other vibrant connects fine cable is also right, it is a problem strictly with this phone.
I tried flashing other roms, modems, and so on via CWM but problem is not solved.
Any help or ideas will be appreciated
I had the same problem. Someone said try usb debugging, & it worked like a charm.
Applications/development/usb debugging. I hope this helps.
Thanks, I tried that, and all the options for pairing without success

If USB debugging is enabled, it shouldn't give you a choice of usb connection mode. Make sure your USB cable is unplugged when you enable debugging, or else it will just tell you to unplug and try again.

i tried cleaning the phone's usb receptacle and after that my pc finally responded when my phone was connected to it but the phone is unidentified(yellow triangle pops)...is it because of the wrong driver?

Did you enable fast charging?
You can change that by changing the settings of the Siyah kernel or the fast charging toggle.

Can the pc recognize your phone in download mode? if yes, use odin to flash another kernal.
I have the same problem before and it works for me!

[Q] GS4 won't stay in installer mode

Hi all,
I'm planning to root my GS4 but I noticed that when I plug my phone into my computer (win 7) it switches to Media Device instead of staying in Installer mode. I have USB debugging checked and install from unknown sources checked. I've tried to uninstall the drivers and then plug back in to reinstall the drivers but have had the same result.
Has anyone heard of this and know a possible solution or something I could try? I really don't want to start rooting my phone if its not staying in debug mode.
Thanks!

You could try to Odin the Stock image and then try to root from there.

Thanks for the reply. I am on Stock image (haven't done anything to my phone yet). It's just weird why it won't stay on installer mode if I have debug mode checked.

Try getting the latest USB drivers from my signature. You should be in MTP mode when it's connected to the PC I do believe. It will then show a picture of you phone and you can browse the device then.

Ok i'll try that. I thought if USB debugging was checked that there was a third mode (installer) that it stayed in besides the Media or Camera options that can be selected because I was reading another post on XDA about the root tool by a post from user Jondoyle24:

[Q] Galaxy mini and USB Debugging

If you are trying to restore your phone via Odin, there would be no need to enable USB Debugging.
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-original.html
I know it says under: IMPORTANT to enable USB Debugging. They're wrong. USB Debugging / adb commands do not work in the mode you need the phone to be in to restore it anyway, so can't even imagine the point of adding that, especially under the important heading.

Sounds like you need a new usb port to me :crying: If you want to transfer files while you get it fixed you can use one of the many wifi enabled apps to transfer files from your phone to the pc. Also if you want to use Odin there is a mobile version here >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro << no pc needed (although root is required). Best way to test it is flash another rom if problem is still there then it is hardware problem.
I wanted to do this, but i don't have WIFI , and i couldn't flash even 1mb because of this disconnecting

Mobile Odin doesn't need a usb like I said no pc needed you flash from the phone but of course you need root.
