Did you try plugging it into the wall? I remember my N9 always turned on when I plugged it in.

Only if you have it in developer mode. By default it powers up in ACT_DEAD mode

That sounds familiar now that you mention it. One does wonder how an N9 could still be used in 2019 without developer mode enabled. I would imagine many tweaks or changes would have to be made that require developer mode.

I might confuse it but was it not like
N950 powers on when USB power connected
N9 dods not power on
N9 with R/D flag set by flasher.powers on

Again I might be wrong but it should not be dependent on the developer mode/shell.

You are absolutely right, what I meant was R&D mode, I mistankenly said "Developer Mode" as I forgot that developer mode was not enabled by default

Now you confuse me.
No one said anything about develsh, a special shell with some more capabilities than 'normal' root rights.
And you can only login to that after getting root by issuing 'devel-su'.

But again: why are you asking for "develsh"?
