I cannot express my gratitude for this video, I have found myself once again searching for it in my history to help me out of a shituation with my Chromebook! Thanks soooo much!😊😊
This worked so well for me. From the time I bought the Chromebook for my son it never updated. I just power wash it and it would not pass the update screen finally I found this video and it worked! I'm so excited thank you so much for this video.
@@allissahbasse7356 You need to look up the schematics for your particular chromebook. It involves opening the machine, removing the internal battery and connecting two contacts on the motherboard.
didnt work for me. when the OS verification comes up there is text in the upper left that says "developer mode is disabled on this device by system policy"....any ideas?
Mine re enrols into Enterprise management. Can't get rid of it. Anyone REALLY know how how to get rid of it? I suspect there is a lookup of serial number. Anyone know how to remove/change serial number?
This is why you are not just power washing it but doing the extra step son that it takes you off the schools administrator or companies roster who can control the device remotely. He does say this method will not work a 100% of the time. You may have to download software to cut ties with the manager of your device.
“Developer mode is disabled on this device by system policy.” Haha, can’t do nothing much. Replacing the mobo isn’t my biggest priority so I’ll just mess around with the parts cuz whynot!
Thank you! It worked just great on my Lenova Chromebook 300e. It was Admin locked when i bought it used and had no clue how to get the old admin off so i could officially own my Chromebook... I just followed along with the video and I was able to unlock it just like in rhe video. Thanks again! BTW - can anyone tell me a simple and inexpensive way to remove the Carrier Lock on any given Android and/or iOS cell phone. One would think that you should be able to control that in the developer mode or IDK... HELP! 😅😅😅😅
Carrier lock as in the carrier will not work with it? Or a general lock from the previous user instance? If it is true carrier, generally speaking there is no way that I know of to get that removed without talking to the carrier to be able to use it on their network.
I also use the Lenovo 300e Chromebook but after Powerwash, it is preventing me from signing in while my password is correct. After entering my email and password, it'll still come back to sign in to your Chromebook again. I have tried esc, refresh & power button but that doesn't work at all for me. Can anyone please be of help? Thank you
The rg associated witht he device has disabled developer mode. If this was a used device you purchased, contact the organization (usually can be found on the log in screen) ask them to deprovision and then delete from their OU. Otherwise buy a referb motherboard. swap is super easy.
i got a problem it got enterprise mode it was a school laptop and the developer modes has been disabled is it possible to clean it out of the company that has it under control?
I'd swear that I had tried this already and it didn't work. I had a blank SD card inserted by accident and this worked when I tried it then. I'll never know for sure........🤷
Same when I do it it automatically says enterprise enrollment complete and it has my schools email and at the bottom says it’s administered by my school
all you have to do is hold CTRL and hit Q and start hitting every letter key from left to right after Q and it should completly re enable itself for you to personalize the computer. Edit: You're welcome
so uhhh i basically was confused for a bit and then it was saying my system was disable the developer mode anddd i was raging and started hitting the keys and it restart.. i was shocked my school put a manager on my personal laptop and when i asked they kept pushing it back then till then school was done and i didnt get to get it off this was around may and i had the manager on my laptop ever since but thanks to this video it helped me out a bit.
So this can work I would know I’ve tried, BUT some states or school districts will get notified so it’s really a gamble but if you steal the Chromebook at the end of the year you don’t gotta worry about it just power wash it
Contact the district and get in contact with their IT department. They didn't deprovision the device correctly. If that's not possible, buy a replacement motherboard.
@@3v1lp4nda3 Sadly there is no way I know of to bypass developer mode being blocked. You would need admin rights to Google Workspace to change your device's OU location
you can bypass the disabled dev mode by unscrewing back panel and booting it without the battery connected to the motherboard then reconnecting it when its booted
No a powerwash completely resets the chromebook to factory settings. You lose everything that is locally stored or apps that were pushed by your administrator. That said, some schools have started blocking access to Chrome://flags so there's a chance you can't even get to it.
