Devmode no longer works

Denodan1 · Yesterday, 09:57 PM

I tried kobo devmodeon and no longer works, cannot turn developer mode on, and yes looked at videos and also how to enable it and won't work.

Odd, it works on my older Kobos with 4.38. firmware and my Libra Colour with 4.39. firmware. Just tested and typing devmodeoff in the search box and searching disabled developer mode, typing devmodeon in the search box and searching re-enabled developer mode (Sage and Libra Colour).

Well does not work on my Clara, with latest firmware. Only received it today

Dug out the Clara HD with 4.38.23038 and it works on there.

Go to home screen (not really needed but convenient)
Tap on the search icon
in where to search, Kobo Store, My Books, My Articles are tested to work
Type devmodeon in the search box (all lower case)
Tap on Go
The search will return no results found
Close the search window
Tap on More on the bottom line of the screen
Tap on Settings
Tap on Device Information
The last item in Settings will now be Developer Options (for the Clara HD, 3 pages of them)

I did not test this with SideLoadedMode enabled or other attempts to bypass registration. Since this is supported on 2 Kobos with 3.38.23038 and 1 Kobo with 4.37.23028, I feel safe in saying that it will work on any Kobo when you enter the correct term in the search box.
