To reveal the Developer Options menu, first, select the gear icon on your Fire TV’s home screen. This will open the settings menu.
In settings, choose “My Fire TV.”
In the “My Fire TV” menu, select “About.”
On the “About” page, select the first item (which is your Fire TV device’s name) seven times. When you do this, you’ll see a countdown at the bottom telling you when the menu will be unlocked.
Once the countdown message says “No Need, You Are Already a Developer,” then your Developer Options menu is unlocked.
Head back one screen to the “My Fire TV” page and you’ll see the newly unhidden “Developer Options” menu.
And that’s how you take the first step towards the journey of customizing your Fire TV device. Enjoy!
Now that your Developer Options menu is unlocked, go ahead and jailbreak your Fire TV device to sideload your favorite apps on it.
