I successfully rooted with USB debugging disabled... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330NU, Region XAC)
Odin version: 3.09
Root file: CF-Auto-Root-milletwifiue-milletwifiue-smt330nu.tar.md5
First, I did a factory reset from Settings>General>Backup and reset>Factory data reset. Before this, I had developer mode enabled and the "allow USB debugging" option checked, but I forgot to redo these steps after factory resetting.
Then I proceeded to root it and everything went as normal, I've been using it for a few days now and I actually only just realized that I had forgotten to enable USB debugging mode before rooting. So now I go to the settings of my already-rooted tablet, developer mode is of course disabled so I enable it, I see that the USB debugging checkbox is unticked so I tick that.
How come the rooting didn't go horribly wrong and brick my tablet as it seems to have for most other people?
So far I've been removing bloatware, using screen mirroring, browsing, managing files, using SuperUser, installing and using a bunch of apps from the Play store, and everything works perfectly. But I'm thinking about re-rooting with all the proper steps; I've never made this mistake before and if I leave it as it is, what kind of problems might I run into later?
(Sorry about the double post! I couldn't figure out how to change forums or delete my original one.)

Usb debugging does need to be enabled if you're using odin to flash something in download mode

[Q] Can't enable usb debugging

I can't access my phone. It will get to the security screen to put in my pattern to unlock, but after I unlock I just get a bunch of force closes. I know how to reflash back to stock using Eugene's Froyo. The problem is that before my phone broke down, "Enable usb debugging" was not selected. Therefore, I can't get into download or recovery mode using adbto then use Odin to recover. My phone is also hardware locked. Is there a way to turn on usb debugging without accessing the settings?
Thanks.
i have same problem

[Q] How to enable usb debugging using android recovery update?

I missed my android phone with Google apps Rom Toolbox Pro. I set the screen density from 306 to 106. My phone is Samsung I9300. It's MTK processor phone . Now I can't open the launcher after the screen lock. When I swipe the phone to left or to right, it says "Touchwiz is not responding" . It keeps prompting that message over and over again. I already set the phone to its factory reset using android recovery, so theres no way that I can connect my phone to my pc because the usb debugging is already turned off due to factory reset. If i could just enable the phone usb debugging, that will lessen the problem. Please help me. There is also another solution using the notepad, and if i could browse the build.prop file inside the system folder, I can edit the screen density back to 306. But as I said, usb debugging is turned off.Anyone out there who knows the solution to this, please help me.

How do I go about figuring out how to root a tightly locked down tablet?

It's so locked down on KitKat 4.4 that with developer options enabled, only stats and revoking USB debugging are enabled. Cannot enable USB debugging. Why root? 1. Just because. 2. I want to see if I can stop it doing a factory wipe every time it's turned off or anything makes it reboot or the reset hole has to be poked.
I've tried so many 'universal' or 'guaranteed to work' rooting utilities, I forget which all ones they are. They've all failed to crack it.

Locked out of Samsung S4 Mini

I have a Verizon SCH-I435 gx4 mini and I forgot my pin. Android device manager can't help me put it into lost mode and over ride screen lock. The interesting part is when I boot into recovery and go to factory data restore as a last option it says it's in display mode (MTM). The phone boots into Odin mode just fine. On all my phone I always turn on USB debugging which I believe if you have a pc you need to enable to use Odin correct me if I'm wrong. So if there's a way to keep my files safe and use my phone again it would be appreciated.

Let's make Points
1-Odin Doesn't require any USB-Authentication such as Debugging Enabled
2-Only adb Requires Debugging
3-Great Thing you enabled it.
Now you can Apply two ways.
One you can boot into recovery and go into adb.Now on PC install adb and connect it to your phone(Go read a Tuto or watch a Video on how to do it)Now remove the locksettings.db file from /data partition(Use google to find the exact location)
Or you can pull the locksetting.db copy to your PC and crack the code using hashcat.But I recommend the first one.Next Time be cautious and if you don't know how to delete files using adb go read how to.

When I connect the USB to J7 nothing shows in device manager. Can't enable debugging.

I was given a J7 with forgotten credentials. It's not stolen. I reset it and there is FRP enabled. Trying different ways to bypass it so I can fully reset, but my computer isn't detecting anything I'm assuming because USB debugging is not turned on. I've read you can flash debugging with Odin and ADB, but Odin doesn't recognize it either for what I believe is the same reason. There has got to be a way to fix this. I find it hard to believe this phone is unusable now.
Any pointers? I've searched "FRP" and didn't find anything.
