[@scottjones1715]

Couldn't find anything that was this simple online, thank you

[@liquidmojo]

I was banging my head trying to get this done on my Lenovo Chromebook Duet, which comes with a detachable keyboard but the usual “Esc-Refresh-Power” combo does not work. This tutorial worked however and it was much appreciated!

[@zombieninja300]

Did activating the developer mode delete your data?

[@liquidmojo]

@@zombieninja300 Yes, It’s like a factory reset except it also has the developer mode options. The browser settings that were saved to the cloud will carry right back over if you login with the same google account, but you have to re-download google play apps and Linux container apps.

[@Waldherz]

Still doesnt workfor me

[@SoulReaper7944]

You are awesome! Thank you so much! I'm trying to turn my tablet into a fully functional gaming device. 😁 I've had my tablet for almost a year now and couldn't find instructions to put it into developer mode. But you just made that possible for me and I appreciate your help! 🖤

[@kingcreolewastaken]

Thank you!!

[@kangrage]

I tried to click all 3 buttons but when it turns off it didn't turn in again and if i click the turn on button it goes back as normal

[@anthonycruz8992]

So quick question what if on the top left it says developer mode disabled, so is that saying it can be disabled

[@dooskieallen858]

Mostly definitely helpful

[@runklestiltskin_2407]

Thanks

[@michaelcross2526]

Thank you

[@j.csmusicchannel2489]

It worked

[@leohsiao1732]

Thank you~~~~

[@dvirpashut3023]

anybody know how to access developer terminal on this thing ?

[@yourcurtainsareugly]

Just curious, are you able to factory reset/wipe from this screen without a keyboard? The normal procedure has you hit Ctrl-D.

[@heraki9969]

you should know the answer after 4 year's I'm waiting 👍

[@yourcurtainsareugly]

@@heraki9969 I'm guessing you have to disable and then enable verification mode using the keys as shown and it should wipe it. Unfortunately/fortunately I never had to perform this procedure in the last 4 years!

[@yelanshenhe]

Thanks i made it

[@jeffjones2180]

i have a lenovo duet ideapad and ive been trying to go into dev mode but nothing works. do you know whats wrong?

[@prestonblank8116]

same idk

[@onniedoodles]

I’m late to reply, but you just do exactly what he does: press the up and down volume buttons, and power. Make sure the keyboard isn’t connected

[@BadWolf3742]

Don't make a difference if your keyboards connected

[@dr.prof.kalpanasangode923]

What to do if developer mode is disabled by system policy

[@anthonycruz8992]

Just did the step again and it beeped that developer mode is on

[@isaidiaz7197]

Thanks man but when i was doing that, in the exactly moment when i put off developer mode i don't move anything i just leave ir for leas than 1 minuto and start sound a loud alarma sing and it's restart himself

[@dailydoseofdre]

@RobertoGM4601 I’m trying to do it now... did you find out?

[@dailydoseofdre]

@RobertoGM4601 I just found out

[@paulmalabanan]

Will this work on Pixel Slate as well?

[@Iristallite]

yes, or use the keyboard entry combo

[@justiceonly9105]

Very grateful to you. How to restart the chrome tablet please?

[@earyeearye]

You should have told us it was going to cancel everything we have saved on the device

[@liquidmojo]

It used to be a toggle that did not “factory reset” your Chrome OS device, but since it essentially grants root level access and allows you to side load APKs and allows run full Linux programs directly without the need for virtual containers, it’s the very definition of insecure. I don’t think there would have been an easy way to keep anything that was on the device. But with that said, a warning disclaimer for a tutorial like this would have been proper due diligence.
