How to install Developer Tools in Recovery Mode?

Hei Fellow Jolla Users,

Recently I ran into a rather annoying issue. It started a few days ago when I tried to side-load an RPM but my JP1301 said that "Installing untrusted software is disabled". I did not find the menu item in Settings App, so I decided to disable and re-enable Developer Tools. ( Yeah, yeah, I now know it was a bloody awful decision.)

But here I am now with my Jolla phone that is missing Developer Tools menu item, too.

I dug the TJC for answers but I did not find anything that I am easily accepting. I am not so keen about resetting my phone. At least, not before I tried whatever was possible.

So I came up with the idea: What if I could reinstall Jolla-Settings app from Recovery Mode? While at it. Can I?

Note: I do not have Busybox, devel-su nor anything else that could help me. I cannot even SSH into my phone. USB Developer Mode is gone, too.

Please, somebody, help me.

Cheers, LVPVS
