I just rooted my Find 7 using from this thread
Although instead of following the small section at the bottom to root I just did it within the TWRP recovery section bit, it seems to have worked I have root access, (I'm a complete noob at rooting/flashing let me know if that was stupid!)
My question arises from when I loaded up Titanium backup it asked me to turn on usb debugging but try as I might I canno find it anywhere within the settings is this normal for the find 7?
Thanks!
It's a little tricky, you have to go into settings, about the phone and there you'll have to tap multiple on build number till the count down finishes now go a step back and choose more there you'll find the developer settings! You'll finally find the usb debugging inside the developer options.

Wow thanks!
Hopefully anyone else searching will now see this!
Please note that this is the way to go about getting developer settings for all the Samsung phones too... As I don't own any other brands I'm not going to say its how you do all android devices.....
It's the same.

Hey Guys,
I know there are a lot of threads like these, but unfortunately most of them are not exactly up to date, and when you are frustrated with failure that isn't helping either.
So here's the thing, I've tried installing custom recovery and ROM. I used HOX toolkit i've found here, the author suggested using TWRP. It installed okay but i wasn't able to use it because the touchscreen didn't work at all. So I've tried different tutorial on onexroot.com this time with cwm. Again everything installed correctly. I went on to install custom rom (cyanogenmod 10.2) installed it, everything was ok, rebooted my device, the cyanogenmod spinning logo pops up saying something about apps and stuff, then it was stuck for more than 5-7 minutes which pretty much means it doesn't work. So I've tried wiping stuff as said in the tutorial which didn't seem to change anything... Now I'm stuck and have no idea what to do since I haven't backed up old rom (is something like that even possible)
Anyway how should i proceed now?
Is there a way to get back to stock everything or did i just destroyed my hox?
I do realize that this is most probably my fault and i feel really ashamed.
So any working links/tutorials/anything are most welcome
Thanks

OK... First of all PLEASE tell me that you have made a nandroid backup before messing around !?!
If you did than it's all fine...
if not... well, we'll come to that...
So, first of you need to get into the bootloader, and flash the boot.img... Get the file by extracting the cyanogen.zip to your PC...
Now move it to the data folder in the all-in-one toolkit, shft+right click there on empty space and click open with command propmt...
now run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you should be able to boot into cyanogenmod...
Now if you want to go to stock, you can just restore your nandroid and flash the stock boot.img using mentions commands, but if not you'll have to ether find an ruu or find an nandroid backup that someone uploaded with your base...
Now, just believe me this...
The BEST recovery is CWM Touch 5.8.4.0 as of today...
So use it...
1 : he already said he hasn't got a backup
2: cwm 5.8 is not the BEST recovery because it's outdated ! Twrp (repacked or not) or philz touch recovery are way more advanced.....
Just saying
And can I just add that the guides are NOT outdated. They work if you follow instructions exactly
Put the kettle on
gonna try desmonds way.
I didn't back up anything
I didn't mean quides on unlocking your device are outdated, by all means they are great for community created guides. What I meant by that that trying the reverse process is a little bit of a struggle

Ok, but when you execute the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" you should type "fastboot erase cache" before and after that command
Put the kettle on
Thank you so much! All of you! It works! Faith in humanity, people on the internet, myself RESTORED!
here's what i did
Okay, not everything really works.... I'm missing playstore, how should i proceed now? :/
nevermind, just found out why
Okay another problem :/ I wanted to installed google apps, however usb driver doesn't work anymore, why is this? i can see HTC in device manager but i do not have appropriate drivers
Because in cynogenmod UBS debugging and adb are disabled by default... Tap the build number a couple of times to unlock developer options and enable them

Well you go into settings > about > there you will find stuff like android version... if you tap on that a few times you get the jelly beans to play around with, and so if you tap a few times on ether build number or baseband version you will get a toast notification that you are now a developer... now go back to settings and you'll see a new entry at the bottom, called developer options... go in there and turn them on... then fins adb and usb debugging and turn them both on.

Hi all, I've recently started flashing numerous custom ROMs on my Optimus G (E973) and have been mostly successful so far. Still, there some quirks that I needed help with.
One of them is this: on some custom roms that I tried flashing (e.g. houstonn's PA beta, some others I can't exactly recall), the developer options seemed to be missing in the settings. I have a couple of questions about this.
1. Is USB debugging automatically enabled for these roms by default?
2. How would I access developer options if they are missing?
I really hope you guys can help me with this; it's not a terrible urgent problem but I just want to learn more about these things and find a way to enable the options if possible. Thanks!
You can go to settings/about phone, then quickly tap the build number some times (I think 7) to enable development settings
Oh I see, thanks! That was a lot simpler than I would have imagined it to be.

USB File Transfer
Do developer options or USB debugging somehow affect file transfer between the phone and the computer? All of a sudden I'm getting an "either the phone has stopped responding or has been disconnected" error message and I can't copy files over to my phone, although I can manipulate files that were already in the phone's memory.
I finished flashing Liquid Kitkat 3.0 NIGHTLY onto my GS3i747, and everything's working fine for the most part. But I wanted to connect my phone to my computer as MTP. PTP works, but with MTP, it doesn't show up on my computer. I went to go check if USB Debugging was checked on, but in fact there was no USB Debugging option at all.
I would post screenshots, but unfortunately not enough posts to do so.
Is this some incompatibility with the phone and the ROM? Or is it some other problem I can solve?
Go to settings, about phone, tap several times on build to enable developer options. It may also be located under security settings.

I should have been a little bit more informative, developer options are already enabled. Under debugging is Android debugging, and USB Debugging notify, but there's no actual USB debugging option.
Does this happen with other custom ROMs too?

Sorry for late reply. But no, this is the first ROM I've flashed onto the phone, so I don't know. If it seems like a compatibility issue, re-flashing a new ROM shouldn't be a problem.
It might just always be on by default

Well the problem here is that I still can't connect my GS3 to my computer as a media device. I can use it to import and export pictures, but I can't do other thing such as import files, or more importanly, put more files in so I can flash a different rom for example. The only thing I can get to work is pictures.
Hi guys,
I am having a nightmare finding the developer options on my tab S 8.4 (SM-T705). I have enabled it by pressing build number 7 times and had the pop up stating that it is enabled, yet I cannot for the life of me find the menu. Does anybody have any idea where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance
general tab... before the about menu... try reboot your device

Thanks for your reply
It's really weird because it is not there. That is where it is found on my phone and my old tab 3 but it's nowhere to be seen on the Tab S.
I have rebooted and it's still not there. I have also tried to enable again by pressing build number 7 times but I get a pop up saying "no need, developer mode has already been enabled." I even factory reset to see if that would sort it but still the same thing.
hmmm.. back to the drawing board i reckon..
Were you able to solve this? im having the same problems
It's a firmware base issue.
Update manually using Odin T705XXUX1ANJ3 (Russian CSC) and "hey presto".
Download from sammobile or samsung-updates
I feel like this should be obvious, but I'm unable to find the OEM Unlock switch under Developer Options on a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, SM-T320.
I must have found it once before because I rooted and installed Android 7.1 on the same model (different tablet) last fall. But for whatever reason, it's eluding me on this one. Apparently, on Samsung devices, that switch is hidden; to reveal it, you need to turn off automatic downloads and auto date and time, restart, open Developer Options, and so on, but there is no switch for automatic date and time anywhere on this menu, which is unlike any other I've seen on an Android device.
I have USB Debugging checked, but the tablet won't root, and it seems that unlocking the bootloader is the sticking point. And it's driving me nuts. As noted, I must have done this with the other tablet, but I can't find that switch on that tablet either -- and it would look different anyway, since it's not the tablet's stock Android.
Please help? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I found another web page on which it simply says to check USB Debugging. I had done this before, but unchecked and rechecked it to be sure. Then I tried to root once more, using the file:
CF-Auto-Root-mondrianwifi-mondrianwifixx-smt320.tar
...which worked on my other tablet last fall and again tonight. Still, the tablet isn't rooted. I cannot figure out what I'm missing.
Well, a few more hours and attempts later, the tablet still wasn't rooting, so I started the tablet in recovery mode and reset it to factory before trying it again. This time, it worked! Clearly, there was something (an app, perhaps?) that was getting in the way. I still don't know where that OEM Unlock switch is, but I no longer care.
From feeble memory, I recall having one tablet (only one, an SM-T520) that would only do what I wanted by first flashing it back to stock. From there, everything was fine. I have another SM-T520 and a couple of SM-T320's, any of which couldn't care less what I do to them.
I guess that's the fail-safe position. Since I was installing a newer build anyway, it didn't matter. It just seemed odd since the other SM-T320 rooted just fine without that extra step. I wish I'd thought of it sooner, but that's water under the bridge.
BTW, if those other tablets work and you're interested in selling one of them, drop me a PM. And if not, no worries; I just thought I'd ask.
Do you have a link as to where I can download twrp flash recovery for tab pro 8.4? It seems like it needs a tar.md5 file.
Thank you!
