have MDM on my phone and it has been restored to factory default. i am trying to bypass/delete the configuration it tries to download when setting up the basics of the phone (language, wifi). how do i solve this? i thought jailbreak would work but don't have access to safari as guided access from microsoft takes over
Got a tip for us?

You'll need to contact the organization which set up MDM on the phone and have them remove the device from their system.
Then you have a paperweight.
MDM can only be removed by those who installed it. If there was a way to remove it without authorization then it wouldn't be any use to business as a device management tool for company owned devices.
Well…
First. Are you on a firmware that is jailbreakable for your device?
If you aren't then there's nothing you can do.
If you are, then you need to download the jailbreak software for your device (to your computer), connect the device to the computer and follow the instructions for that particular jailbreak.
At this time there is no jailbreak for iOS 15 and up.
And your IT department was probably notified when it was uninstalled.
If you want to be able to be in complete control of your devices, you may want to consider buying your own equipment and not trying to modify company controlled devices.
Which my be a reason to terminate.
first of all is this phone likely to be in Apple School/Business Manager? if it is then even if you get rid of the MDM profile the fact the device is in ASM/ABM means it will auto enrol again back into your organisations MDM and you'll be back at the start again.
then unless you can get someone to remove the device from ASM/ABM you are stuck.
trust me that if it is in ASM/ABM you will end up back at the beginning - if its not in ASM/ABM then you might be successful with other methods etc....
Why are you trying to bypass MDM? Is the device not yours? You won't be able to remove the profile. You won't be able to wipe it either without it re-installing. That's how MDM works. Either have the admins remove the device from MDM/unmanage it or get a device you own that's not managed.
Forum isn't for bypassing things like MDM which are on devices for a reason.
