Go and collect password from the admin...well joke apart. You simply bought a locked phone that was meant for an organization. I know so cos m using same. But mine the organization gave it to me and i later unlocked the phone to have full access/control over the phone. Just goto any good phone repair centre with your receipt or use google.

by asking google how to unlock it.

If you are sure its actually UK used,no problem. But if na naija used ,oga return it to the seller and collect another one o.. Make the seller no go put you for wahala o..

See before you say you were arrested and you knew nothing but was jailed, don't buy used phones, obviously that phone was a company phone and was locked and that means it can be tracked your SIM inserted means your details must've Gone out their, if that phone is crime related you might be in soup, imagine a kidnapped victim murdered and you go buy that victim phone Omo you go hear am especially if all traces come end with you, take the phone back to where you bought it, I am a pro and na brotherly advice I give you so.

That phone is already compromised. Discard it immediately!

That's not the case, companies frequently change office equipment, sometimes access is forgetten to be wiped from the computer. And these are the same equipment some of our foreign used sellers import to the country.

Yeah...u right

James39:
Is it not best you return it to whoever you bought it from to help you fix it, rather than seek online advise?

he stole the phone


No mind the petty thief

Pakkioqe:
u didn't indicate it as a "used phone"

Hello Techies...

Please I bought a used Samsung A54. I don't have any issues with the device. Although I observed most of the samsung app were missing. I probed further and realised the phone recognises me as a guest.

They said the IT admin has access to the phone and can delete or install an app at will.

I checked the device policy, an app I can't uninstall on the phone. It's been like a month now.

Any help with this? How can I remove this stuff it shows.

It says "This device belongs to your organisation"

The phone is an MDM (Mobile Device Management) locked phone which does not raise any cause for alarm since you bought from a trusted source. Your source might not know of the status of the phone if he is not privy to this kind of information.
Most of these devices are usually retrieved from resigned or staff with contract terminated with thier employers and sold off. Take for instance someone works with MTN and given a company phone with MDM on it as a work phone, once he resigns or contract terminated, the devices is retrieved and company details taken off it and sold off, most of the times the phones are not recycled amongst employees.

The MDM can be bypassed and used as a normal but you will be advised not to factory reset or update the IOS/security of the phone as these may reset the phone back to the MDM locked status.

Quote me if you need help doing this. Cost might defer depending on the security patch of the phone.

Please gimme your whatsapp number. Where in Nigeria are you? I would have taken the phone back to him but I observed a month later. I doubt his ability to pay back the 300k.

If it can be bypassed, all good then. But to not update the phone? Well, I can leave with that

Na only landmann and qtsnow give u correct information. Na MDM d phone get which can be bypassed depending on the version of the security patch

Goodnewsforlife:
oga this is not about flashing or stolen phone or phone gotten on credit

It's a company phone, they can lock it anytime they deem fit

At op, u should notice that anytime u are charging it, it will always write " this phone is monitored by your organisation"

Stop arguing.
The entire phone will be flashed.. it's not ur normal flashing.
There's a special app for it....
The app the company uses in controlling it will.ne erased..
I don't know how else I'll explain to you.
Let me ask you, what is the company using to control the phone if it's not an app?
So when that app is removed from the phone..and a new UI software uploaded on it.
Now think 🤔

There are things you need to know about the phone before you unlock it. You can render the phone useless, if you fail to do it correctly. Samsung Knox can not be easily compromised. DM me for details or depending on your location, I could direct you to someone that can do it.

This is what happened to my MacBook. Brand new MacBook I bought from a shop in ikeja. When I rang the seller to inform him of what the MacBook was displaying, he suggested I dismiss the MDM notification and use it, as it is no cause for alarm. I used it like that for 2 years with several updates until OS Sonoma came out, immediately I updated to Sonoma, it locked me out. I tried everything to get in but it still didn’t work. I left the MacBook idle for several months thinking of buying a new one after several searches online to get it to unlock. Mind you, it wasn’t the organization that locked it, OS Sonoma didn’t support Mac devices bypassing MDM authorization.

It was one beautiful day I came across a guy on Reddit, following through the steps he listed, I was able to bypass the MDM by downgrading to a previous OS, run a script to get in and then reupdate to Sonoma. My MacBook came back to life. I’m still using it, 2019 Core i7, 32gig ram. I don’t think I want to change it in the next 5 years.

OP, don’t panic. Ignore those calling you names. MDM can be easily bypassed. Provided you know the store you bought the phone from and you have your receipt. Or you could as well just return it and ask for a refund or replacement.

Thank you so much. One guy here already offered to help me bypass it. I will give him a try

If you will be back in Lagos soon enough, that would be best. If not, I will confirm from someone in Port Harcourt. Just private chat me via telegram. https:///eee_pu
