If you are trying to restore your phone via Odin, there would be no need to enable USB Debugging.

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.

[Q] USB debugging cannot be disabled

Hi.
Just bought Galaxy Ace for my daughter and faced with the same problem. it's at official 2.3.3 firmware, and each time i connect it to PC via USB - it enables the USB debugging. I tried disabling it in Settings->Application->Development when phone is disconnected - no luck.
Strange, but i don't see a "USB connection" option in Settings->Wireless and networks... it's there on my Galaxy S thou... May it be an issue with Ace's official firmware?
Update: flashed VillainROM-1.0 and still having same problem.

There's only a "USB Debugging" option, which, being disabled, gets automatically enabled again each time i connect the phone to a USB cable.
So what is the problem if it's enable? And Ace don't have "USB connection" option in Settings
Sorry, I thought it's obvious: with USB debugging always enabled - I've no possibility to connect the phone to PC as a disk storage or to connect it to Kies/PC_Suite

NO, is not obvious. USB debuggins doesn't botter your usb connection at all since you hace to activate the disk storage after you connect your SGA. Look on status, there's a message that tells you that you have to click there to activate mass storage. And on the other hand, KIES recognizes SGA after a few minutes, just wait a little longer.
i have the same problem. mass storage only works if you have the samsung drivers installed. if you connect the phone to a different PC that dosent have the samsung drivers it will not recognize it. if you disable Debugging so that the computer would detect it as a mass storage, once you connect it, it automatically enables debugging again. if you disable it while connected, it goes back on automatically.
i'm running 2.2.6 but i've always had this problem since 2.2
using windows 7
anyone can help?
USB mass storage worked fine for me on multiple computers without the drivers installed and with debugging on. There is no reason why either of those things would influence your connection. The problem is far more likely to be with either your computers settings or your usb hardware.
i tried on a few different computers, same problem. i guess i'm stuck :/
thanks anyway

Windows XP is fine. Windows 7 is very fussy: m.androidcentral.com/android-101-copy-files-your-storage-card-windows

USB connections acting very weird.

So my USB connection was fine just the other day.. now its not.
When I connect it to a computer or charger, mtp connected shows up. It only shows up when plugged into the computer, or when the battery is 100% on charger.
When I connect sometimes USB connected briefly comes up but never long enough for me to mount
I have checked the USB debugging mark but it doesn't change anything.
What can I do? It was working on the same firmware the other day...
Please help!
It now says mtp connected, but the computer doesn't recognize it. What is mtp and what can I do?

Try updating .net framework on your pc.
Also, manually point your device manager to install USB driver for samsung.
ADB should help you get the right drivers.

I'm on a Mac so it shouldn't be a problem, because Macs don't need drivers right?
I used it the other day with no problem.. now this!

Have you ticked USB debugging off rebooted phone and ticked it back on again? MTP isn't supposed to be on if USB debugging is.

[Q] Phone not getting detected in Odin

I'm currently running CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2 JDQ39E build. I wanted to install the Samsung leaked 4.2.2 firmware, but strangely my phone is not getting detected in Odin any more.
Things i tried:
1. Update Samsung USB drivers.
2. Changed USB cable.
3. Changed USB port.
4. Tried using MTP/PTP modes.
Nothing worked . Strange thing is that my phone is displaying on Windows explorer and I am able to transfer files to it.
Kindly let me know what to do to fix this.

original samsung usb cable?

Yes, original Samsung USB cable. I'm doubting whether the new RSA key prompt which came in 4.2.2 is the reason for this. But that prompt is not coming up even while I disable and enable debugging mode.
wipe everything from recovery mode. once again check for usb debugging option. then reboot into download mode and connect to pc.
note: stop kies if running as a background process.

/QUOTE]
If you have updated using windows update then uninstall the drivers. Then turn off the internet connection and then install and let windows search 'preconfigured folders' and then every time it tries to update don't allow. And download that specific version of drivers that for or device. Download different versions.. One of them should work.
Apart from that, in cm10.1 you have enabled USB debugging right?

[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:

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...).
