ZE520KL - Developer Options not showing up after Build number tap - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Help! Cannot activate Developer Options on Acer iconia a3-a40

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.

J700M Stuck on Samsung Logo Screen after installing the Latest Version of Xposed FW

Hello! First of all, I want to introduce myself briefly. I am Horace. A young 19 year old college student from Chile. I have been watching the forums for months now but this is the first time I actually need help with a very specific problem.
You see, I use a J700M (Samsung Galaxy J7 2015) to play Pokémon GO. It's rooted and it lets me spoof my location and blah blah blah, happy things with the game and all that.
Sad thing is that, after trying to install the latest version of the Xposed Framework, my phone got unable to access past the Samsung galaxy j7 logo screen. I tried factory resetting, installing a new custom ROM... but it's no use. It never goes past the Samsung logo screen.
As a sidenote, I can still access download mode and TWRP Recovery.
Can somebody help me? I use this phone to do some spoofing services for people and it would be amazing if I could still do them.
Flash the same stock firmware which you had before you updated Xposed Framework .
Here you have firmware for your region Chile:

Tried it, and it worked! Thank you... but... ummm... why can't I install TWRP now?
First at all [Wipe Cache Partitionfrom Recovery menu . Once you do that Reboot your phone , go to Settings , About Device , Click 7-8 times on Build Number in order to Activate Developer Options , now go one time back and open Developer Options check it ON and Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging .
That's it , good luck .

I have OEM unlocked, USB Debugging activated. Odin, the latest version of TWRP downloaded from the page itself AND the drivers for my phone, it still doesn't work to install TWRP now. Even if I force the phone to boot into recovery, it will enter a bootloop. Fastboot doesn't even work.
Alright, fixed it myself, had to re-install some custom ROM and then it let me install TWRP. Thank you!

unable to flash T820

trying to help a friend who's SM-T820 wifi started to fail. Switch it on, it spins for a while and switches off. (stupid me) I did a factory reset. Upon boot, it says someone tried to do a factory reset, please sign in to confirm. Well, can't sign in because wifi wont turn on....so on to ODIN and stock firmware tried T820XXU1AQF3 rom and in ODIN I get FAIL! (Auth). On the TAB it says:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: Official, FRP lock is enable, OEM lock is enabled, ... SW REV CHECK FAIL : [boot] Fused 1 > Binary 0
Reboot, and I'm back to the please sign in to confirm reset. Can't go to settings to disable OEM lock. Where should I look next?

AQF3 firmware is an older firmware. If the device has been updated you need to use that or newer firmware. You can't flash an older firmware so that's probably the problem.
ok, I finally found the right rom to be able to flash, flashed the BL, AP and CSC images. Rebooted, and it went to: "an unauthorized attempt..." not a problem I know the username and password, but wifi still wont turn on. Ideas?

First, boot into the stock recovery and clear the cache. If that doesn't work then try flashing just the AP in Odin.
wipe cache: same result - an unauthorized attempt...and wifi unable to turn on
ap flash only: same result
also almost every tutorial I see on bypassing FRP lock requires that wifi be working. wifi is not working for some reason.
ok, so maybe a combination ROM for T820XXU2BRJ1 will help, that is the stock that is installed. Anyone know where I can find that?

If you're looking for the stock firmware go to updato.com. It looks like the bootloader was unlocked at one time? Can you bypass the initial setup and get into settings? If so see if developer options is there. If not see if you can get to about tablet, software information. Then tap build number 7 times. That should initiate developer options. In there allow oem unlock. But, if you haven't gotten the firmware from updato get that first and flash it in Odin.

Maybe, but I dont think so. My friend wouldn't know how to do that.

I can't bypass the initial setup. The initial problem was that wifi wouldn't turn on, (spins for a few seconds then turns back off). I have tried visual assist, select a word, keyboard settings, but cant seem to make the jump to regular settings to be able to get to dev options. That's why I'm asking for a combination rom, I've heard that they have the engineering features I need to jump straight to settings.
of course if there is another solution I'm all ears

I'm not familiar with combination roms but I found this, https://www.hardreset.info/devices/...-tab-s3/faq/faq/samsung-combination-firmware/. Maybe that helps? If you could get into developer options you could enable oem unlock and possibly flash a custom rom. I was going to suggest rorymc928's rom in the roms, kernels, etc section.
have you fixed it? it's easy all you need is to flash the combination firmware to remove the FRP lock (by resetting to factory settings from combination firmware) and reflash stock rom after that, no need to unlock bootloader to do all this.

Do you know where you can get the combination firmware for the t820?
ok I was able to get past the FRP lock, finally. Now we're are back to the original problem. Turn wifi on, it spins for about 30 seconds and turns back off again.

How? I have the exact same tablet and problem, I did the reset too.

Unlocking phone without losing data

Hello to all,
i have an xperia z3 compact and i left it out of use for a while due to broken screen, i finally changed the screen but realised that i have forgotten the lock pattern.
Any way to unlock it without losing my data in the internal memory?
If it helps and if i remember correctly,
1) i had usb debugging and developer options enabled
2) i haven't rooted it (for sure).
3) phone has kept the credentials for my wifi, gmail, etc, so it's connected when i turn it on (and of course i have those credentials).
4) it probably has android 6 (marshmallow) installed.
5) i tried with "find my device" from google, and while it sees my phone, it says "Find My Device is turned off" so the option for locking it anew is greyed out and i can't access it, so this method doesn't work.
Any ideas? is it possible to bypass the pattern and get inside to get my stuff and apps?
thank you to anyone reading this and wanting to help me out.
I don't think that's quite possible. The few ways to bypass the lock have pretty much disappeared with recent Android versions.
Best of luck!
thank you, i'm so frustrated. At first i wanted to save my data and bypass the pattern, now i just want to be able to use my phone again even if i lose the data and i can't even do that!
There is no hard reset for this model!
I just can't believe that there isn't any way possible to get back your phone if you forgot your pattern!
no way to have recovery or TWRP in a locked phone with usb debugging on?
no way to push adb commands?
There should be something for situations like that

Question Odin says pass but no changes

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?
