Cannot Activate Developer Mode

[pphone-newbie]

Hi,
      I have the UBPorts Community Edition and attempted to activate the Developer Mode, but the option does not seem to exist.

I have a BQ Aquaris with UBPorts and the options is under 'System Settings - About - Developer Mode'. However, this is not the case on the Pinephone.

Will this feature be added at a later date?

Hi,

Same problem here. Developer Mode is missing. adb says (self-evident): no devices found.

Any solutions?
Best,
Mat

What exactly do you want to do in Developer Mode? You already have access to pretty much the whole system. I saw there is an issue on gitlab requesting a graphical solution for enabling ssh: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/-/issues/104

Hi Momentum,

just transfer files (more precisely the wifi-connection-setup). However, I found a solution[url=https://forum.pine64.org/member.php?action=profile&uid=18063][/url] in another tread: Booting in recovery mode grants (limited) access to the file system. With this workaround I was able to tranfer the file. Now wifi is up and running and in future I can use ssh/sftp

Thanks and best
Mat
