For the standard no-root Android workflow, you enable Developer Options and choose one installed mock location app. USB debugging is not required.
Why the menu is required
Android places the provider picker in Developer Options so the user explicitly chooses which app may supply test coordinates.
What you do not need
- No bootloader unlock.
- No root access.
- No USB cable.
- No USB debugging for the normal on-device workflow.
When the menu is unavailable
A work profile, parental control, secondary user or enterprise policy can hide or lock developer settings. Do not bypass an administrator restriction; use an authorized test device.
Common questions
Can I select FlashGo without Developer Options?
Not through Android’s standard mock location provider workflow.
Is enabling Developer Options the same as rooting?
No. Revealing the developer menu does not grant root access or unlock the bootloader.
Use responsiblyReceiving apps can detect or reject mocked locations. Follow applicable laws and third-party terms; do not use FlashGo to mislead others or bypass restrictions.
