Here is the document about how to activate the Xbox dev mode: Xbox One Developer Mode activation. Are you following this to activate the dev mode? If it is, could you please tell me which step that you failed? Is it Step 4?

This is also happening to me, except mine has been activated already and used for development for almost a year now. The recent Xbox update must have messed something up. I went as far as deactivating it from partner center and also resetting the console. After activating with the code, it stays at step 4.

I also see the same issue with Dev Mode Activation (v1.1.1703.14), Console is on version 10.0.19041.1462, stuck at the same step (4) too.

Could you please tell me the OS version and the Dev Mode Activation version? Is it the same as @Paul Jezek 's scenario?

Thanks for sharing this information. I'll ask the Xbox team about this. You could also ask about this in the Xbox Development Forum.

Mine xbox is the same situation. 10.0.19041.4162(OS version is rs_xbox_release_2008.200824-1730).

This is a urgent situation, it delays my work 2 days already.

I was having the same issue. However I've managed to activate dev mode through the hidden developer settings menu rather than the dev mode activation app. To access the hidden menu go to Settings > System > Console Info > Press LB RB LT RT > Developer Settings > Developer Mode

Activating by using the hidden menu worked for me too! Thank you!

Buenas noches

Disculpa si activo por el método del menú oculto (menú de configuración de desarrollador oculto)como dices al iniciar la consola en modo normal no se borran mis juegos? ni apps ya que e leído en diferentes Post que comentan que se les borran sus juegos y tienen que volver a descargarlos.

Saludos

Goodnight

Sorry if I activate by the hidden menu method (hidden developer settings menu) as you say when starting the console in normal mode my games are not deleted? nor apps since I have read in different Post that they comment that their games are deleted and they have to download them again.

Regards

If you are using One, One S or One X, try using "Xbox Dev Mode" app as commented by me further down the page.

Ok I had issues enabling dev mode for series x. I followed the instructions above but developer mode didn't show up. So two things:

One is that I was holding the buttons down as I pushed them. Just pushed each button one at a time and let it go.

The second thing is that I think I'm confused as to which are my bottom buttons and which are my top buttons. I pushed LT RT LB RB. Maybe I'm backwards but I was thinking that the buttons on the top would be the ones closest to the other buttons and the bottom ones would be the ones closer to the battery compartment.

Anyway, try both ways.

"T" in RT/LT means Trigger (like a gun's trigger).
"B" in RB/LB means Button (digital button).

No entendí lo que dijiste man, pónmelo en español. A mi si me funcionó. Mis botones tienen las letras así que fue fácil. Es izq, llegó derecha, y luego los gatillos, izq y derecha. Por cierto, si te formatea pero solo lo que tengas en dev mode, no en el modo normal. Me borró emuladores y juegos

Hi, so I’m just learning of this new feature on the new Gen consoles. Do you have to pay to have access to Dev Mode? I see you can activate the dev settings by hitting bumpers n triggers though…. What can I do with Dev Mode? I’m not saying I want to, but I heard you can cheat in games, which is quite over the top since most console games don’t have cheats these days. I would like to attempt making a game myself at some point too but just atm want to check these features out. I have the series S. i got to about where it tells me to enter a activation code but the site it says to go to, aka.ms/activateXbox just brings me to a menu type looking webpage. I don’t want to have to pay for being a developer. Google doesn’t make you pay for Dev mode on Chrome.
