Se Depuração de USB was enabled before the device was managed, Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can be used to remove MDM.

Use Third-Party MDM Removal Tools
If manual methods do not work, some third-party tools claim to remove MDM. Common options include:
- iMyFone LockWiper (Android)
- Tenorshare 4uKey para Android
- Dr.Fone – Unlock (Android)
These tools may work depending on the Android version and the type of MDM installed.
Impedir que o MDM seja reinstalado após a reinicialização

To prevent this:
- Entre em contato com a organização e solicite a remoção do dispositivo de Google Enterprise Management
