I dont know what to tell you. Did you try flashing stock again yet?

Got it working with this rom that timmkoo sent. Wish I could get adb working by modding this rom since triplekoo and manufactory do not work on my device. Wish someone could tell me how or do it for me.

Its interesting, you can actually get to developer options by doing this:

  1. Plug in the device to a computer.
  2. Click the notification that says Charging this device via USB
  3. When you see the menu that has the option to use MTP and all of those, unplug the device.
  4. You will automatically be taken to the home screen. Now hold the home button to see all apps, click the app that you just got kicked out off, and it changes into dev options.
    (Shoutout to @JackNovak for sharing that hack with me)

Thing is, USB Debugging is enabled and it doesnt work. Didnt try it out much.
If you want to use adb, there IS a super complicated way I dont have the strength to type out but I guarantee its not worth the trouble for whatever it is you want to do. I got it to install apps but nothing worked for android 4.4.2 - not Google Play, not 24Six, the only real thing you could get is a browser app, but unfortunately I cant tell you how even if I wanted to.

What is it that you want to do with ADB?
