How to enable usb debugging on android

By admin on Oct 4, 2015

Debugging on Android phone requires USB debugging to be enabled on Android. This lets you install apk through USB and also run adb shell on android. Here are instructions to enable USB debugging on Android. These should work on Android version 4.2 and above. Note on some mobiles exact steps may slightly differ. The following steps are for Lenovo Vibe X2-AP running Android 4.4.2.

  1. Go to android settings and then click on “about phone” and then “Device information”. You should be able to see “Build number” as shown below. On some mobile “Build number” may come directly after clicking on “about phone”.

  2. Now click on build number 7 times. After few clicks you should see something like “you are 3 steps away from being a developer” as shown below. Go ahead and complete 7 clicks.
