    Xbox Series X Dev Kit Activation Failed


    This is my first time using the Xbox Series X Dev Kit. After updating the system into Devkit mode,

    I encountered an issue during the activation process. It now shows the following error:

    Devkit Activation Failed
    A device with the specified serial number was not found.

    Error Code: 80159611
    Console ID: 3e0442e3.f4530e22.f678cf2c.bb2fab0a.01
    Xbox network device ID: F4000DAF846512C2

    I've visited http://aka.ms/xboxdev but couldn't find relevant guidance for resolving this.

    Can you help confirm how to properly register the device or link it to our developer account?

    Is it necessary to add our IP address to a trusted IP range?

    If so, where can I manage this setting?

    Thank you very much for your support.

    :)

    Xbox Series X Dev Kit Activation Failed

    Hello and welcome to our community!

    We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I've seen similar posts in the Xbox Community forums, and in many cases, the problem appears to be related to a network issue.

    If possible, try connecting your Xbox to a different network. If you have mobile data available on your phone, you can set up a mobile hotspot and connect your Xbox to it. This can help determine if the issue is tied to your current network. For more details and troubleshooting steps, you can check the link below:

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

    Xbox dev mode activate console code not working when trying to register.

    Hello Dude Im 1337,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

    Which console are you trying to activate dev mode on? Are you using a console from Xbox One family or the Xbox Series X|S?

    If you're using an Xbox One, you have to perform this through the "Dev Mode Activation" app
    If you're using an Xbox Series X|S, you have to perform this through the "Xbox Dev Mode" app

    Xbox remote play with touch controls like cloud gaming

    I mean I get if the os in the servers is different but you cant tell me its impossible because the s.o.c architecture that runs in the xbox series x is also the same one that is in the Azure servers to the point Xbox said one xbox series x is basically able to run 4 xbox one virtual instances at the same time....and the only difference in a server setting is that those machines could potentially have more ram like xbox series dev kits but aside from that it should totally be possible

    Error divining up for dev account

    Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an error with your Xbox dev kit. The error message you provided, “CorrelationID: fdb0f0a6-6afc-4bb7-86b9-d1e8b5a4898f”, is not specific enough to determine the root cause of the issue.

    However, I found a thread on the Microsoft Community forum that might be helpful: https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/b6cd12eb-7cac-4ab6-aee1-7ba26cd9f172

    The thread suggests that you need to join a developer program to activate the Xbox dev kit. You can find more information on how to join the developer program and activate the Xbox dev kit in the links provided in the thread.

    I hope this helps.
