times. Head back to the settings page and locate Developers Options -> Enable USB debugging.

enter the following code in the command prompt.

updates on the command prompt. then there is some problem with the connection. Either your phone is
not connected properly. Or its drivers are missing from your PC. Or maybe USB debugging is not
enabled on your phone.
