| Cause | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | Retail firmware | Consumer devices often have Tools Mode disabled to prevent unauthorized calibration changes. | | Bootloader locked | On locked bootloaders, certain diagnostic modes are restricted. | | Missing or corrupted CID (Carrier ID) | Tools Mode requires a specific CID value (e.g., 0xDEAD). Some models disable it if CID is wrong. | | Engineering flag = 0 | A hidden flag in the bootloader or NV memory (tools_mode_config = 0) disables the mode. | | After OTA update | Some updates tighten security and disable unused diagnostic modes. |
