I just bought a Sprint Optimus G today. The first thing I was going to do when I got it home was root it and investigate good ROMs. In the developer options, the check box for USB debugging is grayed out and I cannot select it. I have rooted android devices before. I'm running cyanogenmod on my Nexus 7. I had seen that people were able to root and unlock this phone which was the final thing that let me make up my mind to buy it. Any suggestions or am I just completely out of luck?

Hi here, I have the same issue with galaxy note 10.1 (android 4.4.2, not rooted) and I haven't found any solution so far. I have enabled developper tools, and the switch is green OK but even then, the "USB debugging" checkbox stays grayed out. I've tried with USB connected, not connected, I have reboot my tablet, nothing changes.
So I noticed that when the tablet is connected to the PC via USB, even if the PC does recoginses it (I can browse in the tablet's directories from the PC, the tablet never charges through USB, even at a low ratre or whatsoever.
But my main concern is with not being able to enable "USB begugging". Can anyone help here please ?

    You cannot switch mode with the USB plugged in. Take the USB out and then switch to USB debugging
