Mad Developer Help

Mad Developer provides developer access to a device. Using Mad Developer, you can configure a USB connection for communication between the device and the host, and generate a temporary password for developer login. By default, a DHCP server is run on the USB interface, in which case the host automatically configures the IP address for its USB interface.

  1. Make sure the USB cable is disconnected between the device and the computer.
  2. In Mad Developer window, tap USB Networking.
