How to Activate USB Debugging on OPPO Phone: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Greetings, dear reader! If you're an Oppo phone user who wants to perform advanced tasks such as rooting, installing custom ROMs, or even just transferring files between your phone and computer, then you might have heard of USB debugging. USB debugging is an important feature that allows your Smartphone to communicate with your computer and perform these advanced tasks. 

However, it is not enabled by default, and you need to manually activate it. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of activating USB debugging on your Oppo phone. I have tried and tested this method myself, so you can rest assured that it works.

Before we proceed, I would like to remind you to make sure that your USB cable supports file transfer and not just charging. This is because some cables are designed for charging only and may not work for file transfer. Now, let's get started with the tutorial.

Step 1: Enable Developer Options

The first step in activating USB debugging is to enable Developer Options on your Oppo phone. Developer Options is a hidden menu in Android that contains advanced settings and features for developers. To enable it, follow these steps:

  1. Go to "Settings" on your Oppo phone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on "About Phone".
  3. Look for "Version" and then "Build Number" 
  4. Tap on the Build Number seven times (sometimes it required more taps). You will see a message that says "You are now in Developer Mode!"

Congratulations, you have successfully enabled Developer Options on your Oppo phone.

Enabling Developer Options is a straightforward process. However, if you're having trouble finding the Build Number option, try looking for it in different locations. On some Oppo phone models, it can be found under Software Information or System Information instead of About Phone.

Step 2: Activate USB Debugging

Now that you have enabled Developer Options, you can proceed to activate USB debugging. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go back to Settings and tap on "Developer Options".
  2. Scroll down and look for "USB Debugging". Activate or turn on this USB Debugging option.
  3. You will see a warning message that says "Allow USB debugging?" Tap on OK. It's fine.

Done! you have successfully activated USB debugging on your Oppo phone. You can now connect your phone to your computer and perform advanced tasks such as rooting, installing custom ROMs, or transferring files.

After enabling Developer Options, you should see the USB Debugging option towards the bottom of the list. If the option is not available, try restarting your phone or checking for software updates. Sometimes, the option can be hidden or removed in certain software versions.

Tip: If you plan on transferring files between your phone and computer frequently, consider enabling the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) option as well. This will allow you to access your phone's storage as a mass storage device on your computer.

The tutorial didn't work?

If for some reason the tutorial didn't work for you, don't worry. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

  • Make sure that your Smartphone is connected to your computer via a USB cable that supports file transfer.
  • Restart your Oppo phone and your computer.
  • Try using a different USB cable or a different USB port on your computer.
  • Check if there are any updates available for your Oppo phone's software. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs and improve performance.
  • Install USB Drivers: If your computer is not recognizing your phone, try installing the Oppo USB drivers on your computer. You can usually find them on the Oppo website or through a quick Google search.
  • Check USB Settings: Make sure that your Smartphone is set to File Transfer mode in the USB settings. This will ensure that your phone is communicating with your computer properly.
  • Disable Security Software: Sometimes, security software such as antivirus programs can interfere with USB debugging. Try disabling them temporarily or adding exceptions for your phone and computer.
  • Try a Different Computer: If all else fails, try connecting your phone to a different computer to see if the issue persists. This can help narrow down if the problem is with your phone or computer.

A simple step for multiple purposes

Activating USB debugging on your Oppo phone is a simple process that can unlock a whole new world of possibilities. With USB debugging enabled, you can perform advanced tasks that were previously not possible, such as rooting, installing custom ROMs, or transferring files. 

By following the steps in this tutorial, you can activate USB debugging on your Oppo phone and start exploring the full potential of your device. If you encounter any issues, don't hesitate to try the troubleshooting steps or leave a comment below.

I hope this tutorial was helpful for you, dear reader. As an Android Smartphone user myself, I have found USB debugging to be an essential feature that has allowed me to customize my phone and perform tasks that were not possible before. 

With USB debugging, I have been able to install custom ROMs, which has improved my phone's performance and battery life, and I have also been able to transfer large files between my phone and computer without any hassle.

One thing to keep in mind is that USB debugging can also be a potential security risk, as it allows your phone to be accessed by anyone who has physical access to your computer. Therefore, it is important to only activate USB debugging when necessary and to turn it off when you're done performing the task.

In conclusion, USB debugging is a powerful feature that can unlock the full potential of your Oppo phone.
