Download the Android MDM Apk onto the device.

Remove ALL Accounts from the device

In order to get device ownership any account like gmail, whatsapp, telegram etc MUST be signed out or removed from the device.

Install the APK

Once downloaded, install the APK. You should find it in the notification bar by swiping down from the top of the screen. You’ll find it as well in the Downloads folder in File Manager or the Downloads app.

Tip: Before continuing with the PC steps you will activate USB Debugging and install the Android ADB drivers so that the device can be detected by the MDM Helper Utility.

Tip: USB Debugging has a few Modes and it is different on every device which Mode is needed for ADB access, therefore make sure you are prompted on the device to allow ADB otherwise if not prompted switch the modes until prompted.

When you get prompted to continue on the computer you will need to open (or Download and open) the MDM Advanced Helper and proceed with the instructions below
