    Did you sideload something you found on the Internet that maybe you shouldn't have?  After enabling developer mode and it reboots, if you go through the procedure again are you offered the option to enable developer mode again?  If so, your device may have been blacklisted and you won't be able to enable developer mode.

    Hi renojim Thanks for answering.  Is there any way to get it whitelisted ?

    Not that I know of.  Roku really cracked down on developer mode when so many people were using it as a way to circumvent their terms of service regarding things like using Roku devices to watch pirate streams.

        I think this is what has happened to me, I had MovieboxPro on my TV but yesterday it stopped working, so I deleted the app and had to factory reset my TV in order for me to get back into developer mode and now. I was able to do that and setup a password for it but when I go to my web browser and type in my IP address it says can't connect. So I am figuring I might have gotten Blacklisted.
