Hello there,
I am trying to turn Developer Options on at my Acer Iconia with Marshmallow. In Vain tipping much times on Build number without an echo.
Is there any idea or trick to activate this option (e.g. App?)
Many thanks in advance
Ayman
There is no trick to it. You simply tap the build number seven times to enable developer options.
Mine worked first try. As long and painstaking as it sounds, maybe you should try factory resetting the device, then trying again.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, why do you need to enable developer options? Root? I am still looking for a root method. Everything has been unsuccessful so far.

Hi guys, new member so play nice
Just pulled my HDX 7 from out of a drawer and thought I could use it for music in my car.
Haven't used it once March of 2014 and it's stuck on software version 13.3.2.2... I remember using a tool to block OTA updates, and whenever I try to check for an update it says 'last update failed'.
Did a factory reset on the device in the hope it'd sort that out, but no avail. What I have now is when I go to set up the device after the reset, it won't come off the language selection screen. I choose a language, press okay, and it just bounces back. Rebooting does nothing. Managed to ninja tap into settings, update still doesn't work, and same problem after another reset.
Can you guys just point me in the right direction in terms of sorting out these problems, and then what I need to do to root, get recovery and install a custom rom (possibly cyanogenmod but I'm unsure if there's a supported build)
Thanks a lot guys, it's much appreciated.
You are actually quite fortunate that your HDX is stuck at 13.3.2.x as you can probably obtain full control over the device and separate from Amazon. I would advise NOT updating as you may get your wish and then be left with fewer options (although Fire OS is not horrible even unrooted). HDX is a very nice device that is somewhat hobbled by Amazon's adaptation of Android.
If you can "ninja tap" into settings try to enable adb (under device). That will allow you to root and block OTAs (do it again just to make sure). See this post and the ones that immediately follow for details.
Assuming you are successful you can install a true recovery (TWRP) and flash several ROMs including stock Fire OS. There are many who would love to get their hands on your device as those with more recent updates are far more difficult to customize.
On the other hand, if you simply want to stick with Fire OS and accept updates as dished out by Amazon you can probably flash one of the various 13.3.x images posted in this forum and then re-enable OTA. Reflashing Fire OS should address the language loop you are currently experiencing.
It's nice to have choices!
Hi , im kind of new to all this so please bear with me.
So i cant sign in with google anymore it just crashes then restarts Pokemon Go ,
the phone is an Alcatel Pixi 4 model 4034D it comes with (marshmallow) Android v6.0.
Before i rooted it i could login fine ,
but since it was not really playable i looked for a way to increase fps.
Sadly i can't even login now , after three days of trial and error to learn how to root it
I unlocked the bootloader , then installed the latest TWRP on it and Phh's SuperUser.
Got all my files from a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/alcatel-one-touch-pixi-4-t3376597/page10
Used Root Checker to confirm its rooted, installed Gltools.
The program works fine, started messing around with the settings seen from videos or forums.
Turned it off , too see what that would do.
Reinstalled Pokemon Go like three times.
I tried basically every root hider app from Google Play , thinking that might be the problem with no effect.
I have this feeling that im missing something.
All help appreciated , much thanks in advance
Edit: Fixed it by disabling the developer options , thank god!
If you cant disable it , you need to go to Settings>Apps , then find Settings>Storage and finally clear data.
Now your Settings are reset and developer options is again hidden where it was.

How you root 4034d phone pls help me i cant root this android...
Pokemon GO can't be played on rooted devices / or with custom ROMs. Same applies to Snapchat, Mario Run, Android Pay, etc. I don't know what is the developers problem with root and that stuff, but thats the reality.
EDIT: Oops, looks like there was a delay while sending the post so I didn't see your edit. BTW, how the hell did you play Pokemon GO on a rooted device?
Hello everyone
Yesterday I unlocked the bootloader of my ZE520KL from Asus (6.0.1), in order to root it. It's fine, but now I wanted to enable debugging mode, and to do so I tried to activate developer options, but no matter how many times I tapped the build number, and eventhough it said that I was now a developer, the damn menu wouldn't appear...
Does anyone have an idea about what is going on, or how I could at least activate debugging mode, knowing that my phone is rooted ?
Thanks !!

Maybe try wiping davlik and cache through custom recovery might help?
Hello there.
I got a BP-2 from a friend, which runs on Lollipop 5.1 with a baseband .2.0.2.ci-00017-M8935FAAANUZM-1.
The Model Name is unknown and so it the build number. Certain built-in apps in the phone simply does not work and some android features such as accessibility option or date and time option, when clicked just closes down the settings tab. Moreover, the phone also has issues connecting to PC and Wifi.
Before posting my request, i did all available options to upgrade the rom to latest available on forums. I was able to flash original recoveries and TWRP. I could use ADB and Fastflash tools to experiment sideload options. Nothing seemed to have worked for me. In almost all attempts, the progress just stops at "Patching system image unconditionally......" indefinitely.
I have also tried for days to get past the issue but my bad.
I will really really appreciate, if someone can give me an idea here on what possibly could be the problem and how to address it. Once again, I am thankful to the immense help i am getting from respected gurus here.
Thanks
So i'm trying to remove a google account from this device. Tried all ways and is still asking for the same thing - account previously used on the device to continue.
The tabled was setup by somebody and eventually lost access. Tried to factory reset it but no luck. FRP enabled.
Is there something i am doing wrong maybe? Thank you!

It's hard to advise since you haven't said what exactly you're doing.
The more detailed you describe, the easier it will be to help you.
FRP can only be removed on a running system, not by flashing the firmware.
I am trying to remove the FRP.
I thought with the firmware i could reset the tablet.
So i have lost access to the synced account basically. I am trying to bypass the security. Tried to recover the password for the google account but since it was a new tabled with a new account i have not so many informations to be able to recover it.
I have also tried the method with Alliance Shield but i can't access Google Play neither.
Have you unlocked bootloader? It's there in the developer settings as "OEM Bootloader Unlock"
I cannot trigger developer mode. Tried but no luck. No message apears when i tap Build Number or any info about the device.
Are you sure you did it right? You are supposed to tap 'build number' seven times, because tapping once will not help. You may already know the above fact, though
Edit: Spelling error.
I did. Nothing happens. Tapped several times but nothing pops up. I am an apple user this is my cousin's tablet received as a gift this Christmas. He is only 9, tried to set it up himself with the help of another cousin....They forgot the password and tried to factory reset it after.
Also, there are quite a few videos about disabling FRP, have you tried them out yet?
Yes i did ... no luck ... I am taken to different not-so-trusted websites with unknown programs (potentially viruses).
Just found this here where it says to clear cache partitions:
Developer Mode Not Showing
I have the SM-N9600 model on TMO, running 8.1, and not rooted. I tapped the Build Number repeatedly to turn on Developer Mode, and I accessed it the first time, but now it's not showing up anyplace. Also, when I try to redo it again, a little pop...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please try it out as I don't have a physical tab on me. I am sure it will not remove data and such, so feel free to do so. You can access it by booting into the recovery options.
It also says that you can alternatively "Place a Nova Activities widget on your desktop, then, take a look around in the Settings section of the widget, see if there's something for Developer Options."
I did clear the cache several times. Factory reseted the phone also but no luck.
Is it possible for you to use ADB instead of using Odin? I am not sure if it will allow you to pass through without oem bootloader unlock enabled, but it's worth a try.
You also should remember to install adb platform tools and also install samsung dev drivers.
ADB not working neither.
I think I know exactly what is the issue either you should downgrade to FW patch prior feb 22 since KNOX doesn't allow to run developer option unless work environment is set-up. In those upgrades you can use Talkback for FRP bypass.
You can try pro disabler method to enable knox and get developer options then from there.
After disable knox https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ite-emergency-call-factory-test-mode.4502277/
@Abish4i so if knox is removed, dev settings are also removed? Could you please explain it to me if that's fine by you?
Once you get Knox verification done Developer options are enabled by system. You cannot remove knox without adb unless using Root.
When i try to install any apk the settings crashes. I don't think there is any hope for this device ...
Is it organization owned? What is your current FW patch?
