How to Enable USB Debugging on Your HTC One

This guide will show you how to enable USB Debugging on your HTC One, so that you can run adb and fastboot commands from your computer.

Disclaimer: This was done using an HTC One running Android 4.4.2 KitKat, but this process will work on any version of Android running on your HTC One.

Enable Developer Settings

The USB Debugging option is tucked away inside the Setting, under the Developer Options menu. Only thing is, out of the box, this menu was hidden by Google to prevent tampering by novices...but we're softModders.
