After i update to android 11 i lost developer mode. I tried to enable it (settings - about phone - software information - 7 taps on built number - pattern) several times and got no developer menu.
Also tied to clear settings app cache and data and do it again and nothing appends.
Is there any way to solve this without resetting the phone?
Btw, my phone is s20 ultra
Today's update solved the problem

A strange thing happened yesterday. My phone OP3 was idle for few hours. When i picked it up, i saw that it had shutdown. On restarting it, I noticed that few of my settings had changed as below
Buttons swap : I had enabled it, but was disabled
Sound: Section System (Touch Sounds, Dial pad tones screen locking sounds) had been enabled from earlier disabled state
Gestures: All gestures disabled
I see no new notifications
I cant pull down the notification panel/tray. only see one line of shortcuts
Developer options menu is present but when i click it, I get message "Developer options are not enabled for this user"
My power long press options were reset to default (without recovery).
I cleared cache from recovery/launcher (oneplus) yet #4,#5,#6 are not fixed.
I found similar problem with solution for marshmallow but it doesnt work for me. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ton-settings-button-dnt-work.html#post5083902
Last option would be a factory reset. Anyone faced similar issue?
PS: I had clean installed OB9 and then OB10 OTA with stock recovery.
Hi Everyone,
My android phone details:
Xiaomi Redmi 1S
Custom ROM based on AICP
Android ver. 7.1.2
Possibly I'm on Guest Mode
My Concern
Few days back,
I realized that my Magisk not working
Then, gradually found out
Home button, Recent buttons stopped working
Notifications not popping up
Google Play store throwing user error for my Google Account
I suspect myself on Guest Mode
Settings->Users, not opening any user list
'Developer Options not available for this user' msg appears when I clicked on Settings->Developer Options
What Did I Do So Far:
My phone not booting into TWRP recovery mode when (Power Off+Volume Up) pressed all together as my phone always boots up into system(means to OS) & not into TWRP recovery.
I tried Nova Launcher using 'Activities' trick;
in Setup wizard, I was unable to find out
SetUpWizardTestActivity or SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity options which supposed to flash my phone
There's only one option called "Activating Mobile Service" which no use
What My Phone Can Do:
It can boot into Fastboot mode only by holding VolumeDown+PowerOff 2gether, then I can clearly see Xiaomi bunny logo appears along with Fastboot text appears.
What information Do I Need:
Since Developer Options not accessible on my phone, how can I connect my phone to pc & initiate ADB commands,
Is it possible? Bcz 'Usb debugging'can't be toggle over from Settings -> Developer Options
Can Anybody find out for custom ROM, how can Nova Launcher trick works i need file location for these files
SetUpWizardTestActivity, SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity SetUpWelcome something like this
I learned that on Samsung phones
These files can be easily mapped under SetupWizard
Try flashing MIUI via fastboot mode since you are able to boot into fastboot mode(yes I know USB debugging is off) still give it a try.
MIUI Fastboot ROMs are available on MIUI Forum.
If are able to use play store then try apps which allows to boot into recovery trough app.
There's an app "simple reboot for rooted users" by Fransisco Franco, this app works fine to boot into recovery mode.
Try and see if your device able to boot into recovery mode.
If play store not working then sideload apps from internet.
Or
Try flashing custom recovery again using twrp manager, flashify or other recovery flashing apps or just flash recovery via fastboot method and try booting into recovery mode.
Also make sure to other your choice ROM ready to flash in memory card or in pen drive (using otg cable.)
If I remember correctly nougat ROMs are quite heavy for Redmi 1S because whenever I used them I had lag and heat up when using mobile data.
Other than that they are good, I am currently using MIUI 9 on Redmi 1S since it's not my primary device.
Developer Options are not available for this user message appears when
I click on Settings->Developer Options
Device: Infinix Hot 5 lite
Android Version: 7.0
My main concern;
To recover deleted messages
What I have done so far;
Option 1.
I tried Nova Launcher using 'Activities' trick;
in Setup wizard, I was unable to find out
SetUpWizardTestActivity or SetUpWizardUpgradeActivity options which supposed to flash my phone
"I only have one "Setup Wizard" with one option under it a: ".activating cellular service". Selecting that doesn't seem to help"
Option 2.
Settings > About Phone > Build number > Tap it 7 times to become developer;
I have tried tapping 5, 7 or even 100 times and "you're now developer" message never shows up

I have the same problem
did yall ever come up with a solution for this?
hello.My phone is A720F.I installed Rom A720 offical build number A720XXU8CSF1 (June 2019 Securiy Patch).Oem Unlocking is not exist in Developer options.I cant wait for 168 hours.Please help?
this method is not worked for me.
1 - Enable Developer Mode (settings -> about phone -> software information -> press build number for 10 times)
2 - Change Date (settings -> general management -> date and time -> turn off auto-update time -> set the date for 8 days ago)
3 - Check Software Updates (settings -> software update -> check updates manually)
4 - Reboot
5 - Change Date Again (settings -> general management -> date and time -> set the date for 10 days ago)
* it's probable that the date will be again the current date, but don't fear, set it back to 10 days ago
6 - OEM Unlock (settings -> developer options -> check if the OEM unlock toggle is present -> else, go back and forth between the general settings tab and developer options and if needed use "close all" from recents and reopen settings again).

1 - Pull SIMs. Developer Mode enabled. Ensure 'Auto Update System' is disabled.
2 - Changed date to 4 weeks ago (turn off 'Automatic Date and Time')
3 - Check Software Updates (Check updates manually). Ensure 'Download Updates Automatically ' is disabled
4 - Reboot. Check for OEM switch in Developer Options
5 - Check date again (it's likely that the date will be current date, but if it is, just set it back to 3 days before last date change)
6 - Check OEM Unlock toggle is present. If not, go back and forth between the general settings tab and developer options and if needed use "close all" from recents and reopen settings again.
7 - If not working, undo all the above. Restart and try again.
8 - If it does work...celebrate - you can flash custom binaries and custom ROMs
9 - Get TWRP flashed through Odin
This has worked for me on latest BTU firmware for A520f and for several other users recently.
Try it (a few times if needed) for your A7
Fingers crossed

Ah well. At least we tried. You can always try again after a reboot. Ensuring everything that is an auto-update is off

Sorry man.
Greetings,
I just wanted to share my solution to resolution of a brand-new Moto G7 Power XT1955-5 having the developer option "OEM Unlock" disabled. I see issues for a separate model here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/help/oem-unlock-greyed-t4061763
I do not know if my solution will work for other models. My XT1955-5 was manufactured in 2020 06 and purchased in US.
My intent here was to get the bootloader unlocked for installation of custom ROMS as quickly as possible.
Start Phone
Skip all setup options.
Enable Developer Mode
Enable USB Debug
In about phone > time/ date settings, disable all toggles
Set phone to a period of 8 days ago - arbitrary number
Reset Phone
Reset Date to correct date (leave toggles as-is)
Connect to a wireless network with access to Internet (I was using a WiFi, and did not try data)
Read first before attempt - Done quickly -> Phone begins downloading security patch (or it begins with next step - not sure) - Done quickly -> Attempt to set up an account (Google) whilst phone is downloading security patch - account setup waits for security patch update - Proceed to developer options - OEM Unlock toggle is available - Toggle during download.
I strongly suspect that there is some trigger associated with either downloading a security update, or simply attempting to enable an account on the phone (which requires you to be connected to data), but I do not know which. It is likely that there is not specific time sensitivity involved, but I am including my exact actions that resulted in success.
I hope it helps. Happy development!

Yes. The bootloader is now unlocked. I did have to obtain an unlock code from Motorola. The primary issue here was the inability to toggle "OEM Unlock".
I was using Motorola's guides that are linked from this website:
support . motorola . com/us/en/solution/MS87215
So i got A29 build and i dont want any updates. I have turned of aito night update, i have turned off auto system update in developer options but i still keep getting proposals to install an update like twice a day. That is annoying. How can i kill an app so taht would stop bugging me? Thanks!
I am sure I do not know the best ways, but here are the ways I have written down so far (I too, never want any updates). Looks like 1,2 and 3 require no root, and 6 is just a good point to remember:
1 - check "Software Update" screen: (Settings > Software Update)
2 - check “Automatic system updates” screen:
a - Settings > About Phone > Software Information > tap "Buld Number" 7 to 10 times to enable "Developer Mode"
b - Settings > Developer options > Automatic system updates
3 - purchase and sideload the Package Disabler Pro app (disables OTA forever)
4 - on AmazonKindle, deleting the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip will prevent updates since their signatures can't be verified by the device
5 - chown root and chmod 755 the /cache partition can do the same as above (but will it affect recovery?)
6 - while you work on a phone to disable the updates, do not forget not to insert a SIM and not to connect to WiFi, untill the OTA is fully blocked / disabled.
As for how to get rid of the NAG about the updates already downloaded and waiting for the installation, i THINK you might want to wipe cache? Because that's where they are stored while waiting?
It is good that you do not have the A/B system device, where the damn updates are installed on the fly!
If nothing works, this is why I always need root. Because the manufacturer pushes me to, leaves me no way out to just peacefully coexist, they just have to force feed their updates to us. Good luck bro.
