Device managed by admin — Automatically resetting soon — Google Pixel
Different stories from the internet for the same issue.
Got this second-hand “google pixel 2” from a seller yesterday while setting up and connected to the internet until I started receiving a notification saying “Device managed by admin — Automatically resetting soon.” When I tap on it, it gives me an error saying “Device setup keeps stopping”. I checked the phone’s IMEI but it doesn’t classify as lost/stolen. If I try to factory reset the phone, it asks me for a “@google.com” address
I started facing the issue when I didn't log in on my phone for more than a week and reset the phone without login in to my Gmail account.
Tried everything that I had in my knowledge but failed. Even in the local market phone experts were not able to solve the issue. Here is what I did.
Solution
- reset the device
- connect with wifi
- add gmail (phone google account) asap before this error shows up on the screen
- turn off the wifi
- restart the phone
- after turning on the phone, turn on debugging from the phone setting menu
- install ADB on your OS
- connect the phone with the laptop and run the following commands
Commands
adb devices
adb shell
pm list packages | grep ‘google’
pm list packages | grep ‘work’
pm uninstall -k — user 0 com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig
Woalla!! You are ready to use your phone normally without facing this issue.
