Enterprise Locked Chrome Devices

[Thorsenine]

Not sure if this violates any rules but I'm desperately need help...

A bunch of old Chromeboxes where disposed from the office nearby, according to the IT guys there, their vendor breached their contract and just left, but before leaving they basically reset all Chrome devices (3 Chromeboxes, 15 Chromebook) and made them unusable. According to the IT guys, they already reached out to Google but can’t help since they can’t provide any documentation that they basically owned these devices…

They decided it to sell for a very cheap price, I was able to get one for just 15% of the original cost, but I’m stuck with the enterprise lock. None of the IT folks can help. I’m stuck with this Asus CN62, if I can bypass this, I will buy the other 2 remaining Dell 5400 Chromebook.

Any help will do, any reference on how to work on this will be appreciated… TIA

I don't think na possible na ma unlock pa yan since Enterprise. Pero pwede pa yan magamit pang part out. Chromebook(s) is e-waste, ang hirap kasi humanap ng parts niya sa totoo lang.

mukhang kailangan mo mag flash ng firmware nyan as if the chromeboxes and chromebooks were bricked. Tapos dun ka pa makakapag enable ng developer mode pag na balik mo na sa stock yung firmware. pwede mo ma check ko TS https://wiki.mrchromebox.tech/Unbricking . Kung reasonable naman presyo pwede mo bilihin... ginawa kong jellyfin server yung lumang chromebox ko dito sa amin...

Actually yung mga bagong Chromebooks are using the same hardware ng laptops... Like nung Dell 5400 Chromebook, its the same unit as the Windows-based Dell 5400 Chromebook, same upgradeable parts...

As for the Asus CN62, same as Intel NUC sya, expandable drive at memory, kahit wifi at Bluetooth module nya removable at compatible sa desktop mobos... Kung ma-unlock ko ito, I'm planning to use this as Andriod Box

So yeah, old Chrome devices maybe are e-waste pero yung mga modern devices madami na ding gamit...

Very reasonable yung price... problem ko lang sa ganyan technic at yung mga gamit... mahal ang shipping galing sa labas ng Pinas tapos wala naman ding available na pyesa dito sa atin... na unbricked mo yung syo?

Tried Sh1mmer dun sa Dell 5400 Chromebook and it worked... na convert ko pa sya sa Win11, (i7 10th Gen, 16 GB RAM, 256GB SSD)... yung AsusCN62 at Acer R11 ang hindi ko magawa, kasi walang public shim yung 2 kaya hindi ko magawa...

hindi unbricked yung sa akin kaya may tinanggal lang na screw sa board tapos deretso na sa developer mode kagaya ng tutorial ni mrchromebox. nag palit lang ako ng ssd sa medyo mas malaki tapos install na ng tiny11. ayun ginawa ko nalang server ng jellyfin. yung tools naman TS alam ko available sa shopee o lazada yan... flasher ng bios chip kaso it's either tatanggalin mo yung bios chip o mag cclip ka sa chip... kung may experience ka sa electronics medyo magandang project kasi mura nalang bili mo ng chromebox.. kaso lang pala linux yung ginagamit ni mrchromebox sa pagfflash ng bios. kung may resources naman pwede mag experiment. good luck TS hehe

Subukan ko nga... yes may background naman tayo sa electronics... TIA

nakalocked ba yung bios? possible maunlock yan using a bios reflasher tool para mawala yung bios password or encryption

 

[asurabp]

Flash yung bios using the usb programmer is the only way para magamit mo yung mga chromebox/book devices na meron ka.
