General question. USB recovery mode is a low level set of operations (at least lower than the Android JVM used by all apps), and I know there is an adbd daemon on the phone. I was wondering what happens, specifically, when you enable USB debugging in the phone, and where that preference is stored (guessing somewhere in /system/etc/). Since you can use adb when in recovery mode regardless of the way the setting is set, I know there should be ways to turn it on that have to be accessible to usermode (non-root) tools.
Ideally, I would like to be able to "switch on" USB debugging via adb shell in recovery mode. The reason for doing so is so that a reboot of the phone will not close any recovery tools started previously.
