IPhone 12 stuck at Remote Management

[mcc19and64]

I purchased my company iPhone 12 for personal use before I left the organisation. I tried a DFU Mode Restore but have come up against the Remote Management block. I don't have access to ex-company InTune console or ex-company email account so I can't delete the device nor can I delete the local Remote Management profile.

Help folks what can I do ? have I just bought and expensive paperweight ??

Any pointers or assistance would be appreciated.

If your iPhone was using MDM, then you will need to contact your old company's IT department and have them remove the device from their console.

Otherwise, like you said you have a very expensive paperweight.
