Hi XDA members,
I recently received a "Lava Z3" phone from University for free. But, the device is now managed by my University and the device shows "This device is not private" and "This device belongs to your organization".
I want to get rid of this thing and solve this privacy nightmare.
What I've tried so far:
- Tried deleting the "SOTI MobiControl" app with ADB Tools (Didn't work)
- Tried opening the recovery mode with ADB tools and the wiping the data (didn't work) the device wiped and then booted with the same controlled OS.
Please help. How can I solve this issue? Can flashing a new ROM help in this case? or any other suggestion please let me know.
Do you think it could be assigned to the IMEI number or something?

Well you *can* change the IMEI number with root but make sure it's not illegal in your country first

Leave IMEI number. But I want to get rid of this Organization thing. How to remove it? Flashing ROM can remove it or not?

Ok. So, for flashing ROM I need the following right:
- MediaTek Driver
- SPF Tool
- Official Firmware
- ADB maybe
Can you share some guide that can help me flashing the official ROM in my "Lava Z3". I have already downloaded the Official ROM.

Okay whatever, what exactly did you flash? Also it doesn't have to be either of us' fault, my friend used to have an old Kazam and it got bricked from its own software lol

Anyone?
I think this should help you. It's not necessary to apply any tweaks, just follow the steps until you get a flashable ZIP.

Do you have .NET 4 installed? It should work fine. Read through the thread if you're having trouble with the program.
You could also find the firmware yourself by following the instructions under "How to get stock FW." It requires a P505 serial number, so I can't do it for you.

Yes, just installed .n4 and rebooted pc before I ran it.
I tried the model and S/N method and that didn't work either.
Unless I'm doing something wrong? I put the model where it told me too, and the s/n from my phone behind my battery where it said, and view page source. d

On your phone behind the battery, the number you need will be listed as the IMEI. Use that instead of the number shown as the S/N. Append the number to the end of this link:

Reflash your factory OS. Only option you got. I would be careful flashing things to a device like that one

By doing the research you need to do. You will have to track down the info for your device. It is different for each device. After a minor search for the device. I would contact them OEM Techno about it. And to be honest if you get it fixed avoid flashing anything to it ever again.

If my understanding is correct,
you erased the EFS folder when you were trying to install the EFS files for the AT&T variant.
Is this right?

Do you have a BestBuy where you are, if so you can take it to them and if they have the samsung desk they can force flash it back to factory at which ever software version you ask them, I have had to do this!

Hi, I had my S6 on android 5.0.2, carrier version, rooted and unlocked (with a imei which corresponded to a nokia after unlocking). The phone worked fine, I had service, I could make calls, etc... I decided to flash stock unbranded marshmallow on it, so I downloaded the firmware from sammobile and flashed it. Everything went right except I didnt have service (No service). I went desperate, I flashed modems, read thousands of threads, but nothing. Any suggestions?

When you flash your device you may loss your Imei number so you won't be getting service .but looks like you haven't lost it (provided you found them in the the settings option and not from the box which you got your phone from)
Look for a baseband fix for your phone in the site you got your ROM.
PS edit your previous post and delete your imei no.
I was just asking if it was there .
Ok, thanks alot. What would be a baseband fix?

Just a zip file of the baseband version that needs to flashed through recovery so the phone can get service
Edit: Your baseband version is OK as well.
Share the link where you got the rom pls .
Also try a normal reboot if you haven't tried it yet.
Update : you sure you can't make calls ,my marshmallow says no service(unless I haven't turned on cellular data) but I can make calls
.if nothing's working share the site which you got the rom from
I got it from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/71371/G920IDVS3EPE2_G920IUUB3EPD2_CHO/

Ive tried rebooting and Ive checked if moibile data is turned on, but no luck.
Sorry, I didnt understand well, you asked me to flash a baseband (which I did not find), then you edited saying that my baseband is OK. So what do I do?
Would installing twrp, and flashing a costum rom fix it? Or should I download the stock rom from another website?

You have both imei and baseband okay so it's the ROMs fault.

to the nearest xiaomi's centre! Change the new board! That's the easy way.
Restore the edited .xqcn file will get ur baseband/imei back, but not ur simcard. try edl flash but needs for authorized account.

I had this happened on my mix 2s before. I've tried everything, none of them works accept test point/edl mode. Try that, check if ur account if authorized or ask for someone's.

100% of people who tried that destroyed their device. It does not work. Do not suggest others try something we know will destroy their device. If you don't know, do not openly suggest it.
