USB/Wi-Fi debugging automatically enabled after reboot

Morwendara

Hello,

I’ve encountered an issue: after every reboot, USB debugging (and sometimes Wi-Fi debugging) is automatically enabled, even if the Developer Options section was fully disabled before the reboot.

Steps to reproduce:
Disable debugging (USB and Wi-Fi) in Developer Options.
Reboot the device.
Open Developer Options again.

Actual result: the toggles for “USB debugging” and sometimes “Wi-Fi debugging” are enabled again.
Expected behavior: debugging should remain disabled after reboot if the user turned it off.

I only used Wi-Fi debugging to enable VoLTE (using Shizuku and Pixel IMS).
It seems this issue has existed for quite a while. Previously, I thought it was my own oversight, but now I can confirm it happens consistently.

Device: Google Pixel 7a
GrapheneOS version: 2025081400

Upd: After disabling Shizuku, the problem disappeared. I’m not sure if this is expected behavior, but in my opinion the OS should not allow third-party apps to automatically re-enable debugging.

You are modifying your OS in ways that are strongly discouraged by the GOS team. Shizuku is opening a big security hole and can introduce all sorts of weird behavior that can not be accounted for. I hope you understand that making demands in this regard is not appropriate in this case.
Simply speaking: the OS wouldn't allow apps to reenable debugging if you didn't give it elevated privileges via adb yourself.
