(2 Ways) How To Enable Developer Mode On Chromebook OS

Developer Mode on your Chromebook OS allows for advanced customization and access to features not available in the standard mode. In this tutorial, I'll show you two easy methods to enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook.
🛠️ Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcut
Turn Off Your Chromebook: Ensure your Chromebook is turned off completely.
Enter Recovery Mode: Press and hold the "Esc + Refresh (F3)" keys, then press the "Power" button. Keep holding until the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" screen appears.
Enable Developer Mode: Press "Ctrl + D" on your keyboard. A prompt will appear asking if you want to turn on Developer Mode. Press "Enter" to confirm.
Wait for the Process: Your Chromebook will begin transitioning to Developer Mode. This process may take several minutes.
Final Steps: When the transition is complete, your Chromebook will restart, and you'll see a warning screen. Press "Ctrl + D" again to confirm and proceed to Developer Mode.
🔧 Method 2: Using Settings
Open Chromebook Settings: Click on the time in the bottom-right corner of your screen, then click on the gear icon to open Settings.
Navigate to "About Chrome OS": In the Settings menu, scroll down and click on "About Chrome OS."
Enable Developer Mode: Look for the "More info" dropdown menu, then click on it. Next to "Channel," click "Change channel."
Change to Developer - Unstable: In the Channel list, choose "Developer - Unstable" from the dropdown menu.
Confirm Developer Mode: You'll see a message about Developer Mode. Click "Change channel" to confirm.
Restart Chromebook: After confirming, your Chromebook will automatically download the necessary updates and restart into Developer Mode.
⚠️ Note: Enabling Developer Mode will reset your Chromebook, deleting all local data. Make sure to back up any important files before proceeding.

[@onlytanmoy]

Thanks for the video. QQ: do you still get the usual ChromeOS updates post enabling the developer mode?

[@user-ns1fw5ku8u]

yes, but they r developer updates, maybe not just normal updates. Dont worry, everythings work as usual but beware of attacks when u r in dev mode

You have to be on the chromebook owner account

i have bought a chromebook but there was a account already in it so i make another for myself now when igot to about chrome os and want to change channel it says it can only be change from account 1. what should i do

[@TutorialWorkspace]

I guess, reset the chromebook to factory reset. (All will be erased)

[@nickb5717]

How do I disable developer mode? I got mine back from service at best buy and it came back in dev mode. It is causing it to not get updates anymore. I've tried powerwashing and it didn't work.

[@Last_knight_AR]

You have to do the same. But instead of activating it. turn it off

[@Sturniolos_123]

for me both ways didn't work?
