So you have access to dev options on the stick after reset?
After reset no, it was not here. Then I left it for the day and check again last night after 11pm and it was here… I don’t know what happened… still the same version of the OS 
That is odd, so is that version as its not listed. Im starting to think its some insder amazon beta thing. Typically you opt in for those things are are actually knowing you are apart of it… but that version number does not list anywhere nor does any beta thing… so im truly not sure.

The only time I saw this happen was a freshly activated and registered Max. As there weren’t any sideloaded apps the developer option was not activated, the moment an app requiring permission like Troy"s RAI was installed the developer option then became visible. Only ever saw this one time.

It was a fresh start for me too, I had downloaded ‘downloader’ but no developer options… that’s odd
Wouldn’t the option still need to be there in order to allow for enabling ADB?
I haven’t a clue as noone has ever seen this before.
Why would a tv block a download to a firestick? I would return firestick for a different one.
I just checked their website and it clearly states… Yes we did that and you will like it because we said so. No further discussion please…we are too busy screwing up other stuff at this time.

Thanks Chass00 the issue is fixed, and I couldn’t brings it where I bought it
So buying a new one solved this? Thats really odd. Did you register your max with amazon online?

Guys i figured out how to re enable dev options on firestick. it’s the same way as Samsung and android now. You have to go to settings, about, and keep clicking on fire TV stick Lite (or whatever model you have) if dev options is not already there and it will tell you that you are a developer after 5 times or until you see it say you are now a dev

Ohhh like the samsung phone to enable dev options. Thats very good to know, however very annoying.
Im going to mark this a soultion so others can read this, also i will update the firestick mega topic
Edit: i added and qouted the above user to the guide. If anyone els has this issue please try the above option before a reset. A reset may not be needed. I have no idea why Amazon would hide it like you would on a phone but im glad we could solve this.

Yes but what if you can see developer options but it does not allow you to see the individual Apps to authorize? It only give a “on off” option!
Turn developer options “on” and you should then be able to sideload the apps.
Thanks, I have done that. Perhaps it is just the new 4K Max that has the “install unknown apps” option on it.
If your talking about an older 4k firestick you only have to turn it on once not for individual apps.
