kitkat 4.4.2, where is USB debugging? - LG Optimus G Pro

With the Kitkat update i no longer can find the USB Debugging option necessary for Titanium Backup. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where it is located?
And on a different note, what happened to the "search this forum" window on XDA? It shows at first, but as soon as i enter data, the screen refreshes and the window dissappears.

Thank you. I forgot that i had to do that 9months ago when i first got the phone.
For others, here is the step by step.
Settings > general tab > about phone > software information > then tap "build number" 7 times. You will see a countdown as you tap away. When you are done, a new menu item, "developer options", will appear directly below "pc connection" on the General tab in settings.

Thanks

[Q] superuser settings disappeared on cm10.1

I'm on the latest cyanogenmod nightly with superuser integrated. I disabled it and now it's gone from my settings menu so I can't reenable it. help appreciated.
Is the app still installed. Download it from the play store.

I'm having the same problem as OP, need help solving it. Downloading the app from the play store didn't help as CM10.1 has Superuser integrated within it.
Reflash the rom?
figured out how to get the "# Superuser" menu item back...

I just had this same problem - I disabled root via the "# Superuser" sub-menu off settings ..then it disappeared.
...I then also noticed my "{ } Developer options" was gone... (not sure if one led to another or not). Anyhooooo... I re-enabled developer options (via tapping build number a bunch of times) then, inside developer options, turn "on" dev options, then when down to the "Root Access" options, selected then enabled "Apps and ADB".
Tada .. "# Superuser" is back in the main settings menu.
fyi .. I then went back to developer options to turn them off ..as I usually don't have them on unless I'm coding... noticed that the "{ } Developer options" menu item disappeared again. No worries though it reappears if you do go back and tap on build number
Cheerio yohs

Developer option

No developer options in Kit Kat?
EDIT: Found it. For those that don't know, go to settings, about phone, software version, and tap build number 7 times. You will get a message saying "you are now a developer". Go back to your general settings screen and "developer options" will now be listed under Pc connection.

Go to Settings > General > About Phone > Software Information and tap multiple times on the build number entry to enable the developer options menu. It should now appear under the General tab.
Thanks Kenny. I updated my post at the same time you were posting....lol

Enabling Developer mode for SG3 4.4.2

When you first get stock 4.4.2 for AT&T SG3, there is no "Developer options" in settings. You have to enable it. Go to Settings ==> "About device" under the More tab ==> then tap on the "build number" box a few times. Each time you tap it, a very brief message will pop up saying something like "entering developer mode in 3 taps" where the 3 is a number that counts down from (maybe 7) until finally developer mode is enabled. Taps after that produce a message "Developer mode has already been turned on". After that, when you back out of "About device" you will see "Developer options" under the more tab.
Another thing that is a little different is attaching to a PC after enabling USB debugging. I didn't notice the first time, but a message will pop up asking if you want to connect to the PC and if you want to do it every time. If you don't answer appropriately, you won't connect. Maybe its been that way a while, I've been stuck at version 4.1.1 until yesterday.

[Q] Cant access developer options.

Hi,
I have a very strange issue and I am hoping that someone has a solution to this problem.
The tablet SM-T705 came with Build number KOT49H.T705XXU1ANG2 out of the box and it is not upgradeable.
Recently I bought a samsung galaxy tab s t705, The first thing that I wanted to do is root my new toy.
Obviously the first step in the process is to enable USB Debugging but it is a no go !
Here is what I am doing:
Settings > General > About device , Then tap the Build number 7 times.
Once I got the message that the developer mode is now enabled, I go back to the General tab but the "Developer options" are nowhere to be found.
I installed Nova launcher and tried to crate a shortcut for for the "Developer options" but all it does is throw me to the General settings tab in the settings.
I tried to factory reset the device and repeat the process but not luck.
I even tried some apps that are just shortcuts for the Developer options but it didn't help.
Any suggestions ?
I really need root (cant stand all the bloatware).
Thank you for your help !

Your on an old firmware, so that means you'll need to upgrade. Download mode does not need usb debugging. Simply put your device in download mode, flash newer firmware with odin, then root with cfautoroot. USB debugging is only needed to connect to PC while device is on. Hope this helps!
Thank!

Thanks for the help.
Which region is the device?

LG G Pad X 10.1 FRP (Factory Reset Protection)

I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

Try this
I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.
