Change RKDevTool language

Sometimes it happens that this tool is set to Chinese language. You can easily change this by setting the language from 1 to 2 in the config file in the tool folder.

Don't forget to save afterwards!

Enable USB debugging:

In Android under Settings, click on About tablet/phone and click on the build number several times (at least 7 times) in quick succession. This will unlock the developer options.

Then go back to the settings and under System and click on Developer options. Here, look for the USB debugging item. This must be switched on. Then go to the Standard USB configuration item and select "No file transfer".
