Enabling Developer Mode HELP!

Question

I am trying to enable Developer Mode on my first Roku which is a HD.
I searched the internet and all the posts say the same thing about the series of keys to hit on your remote which the end result should cause a special "Developer Settings" screen to come up, which offers you the option to enable (or disable if it's already enabled) the installer.

I've tried this more times then I want to admit with no special screen.

I sure could use some help as the reason I got this was to help my friend program.

Is the remote working well with good batteries? I just did this today on an older roku and it worked normally.
(starting on the Home screen) Home 3x, Up 2x, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right
Press them deliberately one at a time, it should work. If not maybe try a factory reset?

The key sequence to enable developer mode does not work from the smartphone apps.Just to verify, this is the code you're trying:Home button x 3Up x 2Right, Left, Right, Left, RightIt should be entered starting from the Home screen, and with cadence of about a 1/2 second between button pushes (it's hard to be specific, other than not too fast and not too slow).

How slow or fast are you entering the code?  You should be waiting no more than a second between key presses.

Is your Roku paired with the remote?
