So I wanted to cheat my location with mock location. And to do that I need to get in the developer mode settings which I havent been able to do.
I started with tapping the Build number and the information I got was: no need, developer mode already enabled. But it is not visible, I've checked a million times. I then went onto deleting all data and cache from the "settings app". Nothing changed. I restarted the phone, nada new. I downloaded the app Nova launcher to create a shortcut/widget but developer mode did'nt exist there either.
I'm out of ideas. What can I do?

Try a hard reboot.
Clear system cache.
Try safe mode.
Factory reset.
Reflash firmware.

Tried the first three suggestions. I guess I'll be moving on to a factory reset.

That's bizarre. Try Googling it first.
I really loathe using factory resets except for boot loops, viruses and old loads.

I agree. I Googled it all day and it seems like I am the only one with this problem. I saw someone fixed it with the Nova Launcher app, but it just doesn't appear there either for me :/.

I have 2 Incredibles, mine, and my daughter's. I had hers initially, then gave her that one when mine showed up. On mine, I immediately flashed it to the first leak and 2.05 Radio OTA per instructions here, and it worked great.
On hers, I forgot to do a erase all before flashing it, so it still had all of my old data and apps on it. After flashing, I expected to see the screens revert back to their default state, but they didn't. My custom icon placements were still in place on the home screens. The icons for 3rd party downloaded apps were generic android icons. Opening any 3rd party app would cause a force quit. I did an erase everything, didn't fix it. If I went to the market, apps would show as not being loaded, so I loaded them, same results. I then uninstalled and reinstalled, and the apps all worked again.
So, last night, I reverted both phones. Mine went smooth as butter. Hers did the exact same thing as before. So, I went through all the actions, and got it all working again, no problem. Lastly, she went to change the desktop pattern to a picture, and rebooted the phone (not sure why), but it hung on the first "HTC Incredible" boot screen. Pulled the battery and put it back in, no change. Pulled it, let it sit for about a minute, put it on A/C and put the battery back in, and it came back up as expected. When it booted though, it has gone nuts again. All changes since the flashback were lost, icons were generic, I had to uninstall and reinstall everything.
The thing to note here is that once I get it all set up, it works fine, no problems. All I can figure is the fact that I didn't clear everything before the first flash has caused something in memory to become corrupt, and and isn't getting purged when I do an erase all.
So, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doc
did you do a hard reset?

sounds like you need to clear the davlick cache too. just selecting full wipe isn't always enough.

Ok, what's a "hard reset" as opposed to clearing everything via the Settings -> Privacy -> factory data reset?

And how does one go about clearing the davlick cache?
Thanks!
Doc
I did the same thing when I flashed mine. I just went back into clockwork and did a format on every choice including the cache and did a reinstall and everything was stock.
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
I'd still like to hear from seanhassars and jdkoreclipse on how to perform the options they suggested.
Thanks,
Doc
Hard reset is the clear storage option in the bootloader.
And you clear dalvik cache in the advanced menu in recovery.

I'll be redoing the phone tonight so will take all of this into account.
Thanks a lot to all!

My guess is that when you did a factory reset, the additional package with the others app has been deleted.. try to flash it again.

I have got the same issue. What do you mean with "additional package"?
Did you, by any chance, flashed a custom kernel to get root?
Same thing here except after a factory reset my display settings were fine but after the set up in the settings it just crashes the app.
Hey guys! So I recently got the option to update to android pie, now since I have the phone for 1.5 years unrooted and it started to be a little slow i decided to factory reset it before updating, now after actually doing the reset it does not show the update anymore and keeps showing me the phone software is up to date, any suggestions? thanks!
Images attached.
Strange, I've never seen anything like it, but you can flash rom using odin.
Any ideas guys? Im still not getting any updates!

Assume you've tried to manually check for updates right?
If that does not work go to your apps, turn on show system apps, now find them "Google services framework" app and clear data, then immediately reboot.

What do you mean manually? Ive checked in the software updates many times since then, tried wiping cache, and google services framework data, tried checking with smart switch. Nothing.

By manually I just meant tapping the update manually button.
Can you use the emergency recovery option in SmartSwitch? Maybe it will reflash current or part of rom or at least reset a system version flag (that maybe factory reset doesn't). I guessing here, never had to use it, but if it was me I'd give it a try.
Only other ways I know would be to flash with Odin, or via recovery or use ADB (obviously make sure you have the correct file for your phone region, provider etc research if you are not familiar with doing this)
Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
