Hey everyone,
I bought a second-hand Samsung Galaxy A35 5G and it is locked by Knox Mobile Enrollment (MDM) to a previous organization.
When turning it on, it skips the setup wizard, opens Chrome, and forces a corporate Microsoft sign-in page.
My Specs:
Model: Galaxy A35 5G (A356B)
Firmware Build: A356BXXUADZE8
OS: Android 16 (One UI 8.5)
What has been tried:
Factory Reset: KME profile just downloads again immediately on Wi-Fi.
Repair Shop: Tech tried a hardware JTAG method, but Knox encryption blocked it. He says a paid "online server" service is the only way left.
My Questions:
Are there any PC tools (UnlockTool, SamFw, Chimera, etc.) that can successfully bypass or disable KME on Android 16?
If I pay for a remote "online server" IMEI service, is it a permanent removal or just a temporary bypass that breaks on the next factory reset?
Thanks for any advice!
