So, if he could give a pin code that would immediately trigger phone reset to factory settings, or erase data, or even show a dummy profile, that would at least protect their family and contacts and limit the extent of accusations.
It would be nice if the phone could be used afterwords. Protesters may be given their belongings back after detention, and having a working phone is an advantage if they land in a hospital or just outside the detention center with none to pick them up.
I ran a script to do a remote wipe of company email on a stolen phone. Unfortunately, I made a mistake running the script and it started remote wiping all phones (I didn't write the script so I misunderstood how it worked). I aborted the script so it only wiped 17 phones. The problem is, how do I get the company Outlook accounts working again on the phones that were wiped by mistake? I got it working on mine by just removing and reinstalling Outlook and rebooting. But I tried that on another phone and it didn't work. Their Inbox just keeps showing empty. And for some users, including that one, I keep getting repeated automated emails about the phone having been wiped. I cannot find anything on Google about how to get mail working again after remote wiping. Our email is on Office 365.
Are you stating you get a blank email after creating a new account from scratch on their mobile device. Or are you saying you access their phone and all you see is a blank inbox associated with their account?
I've tried to set up email from scratch although it's not possible to remove the account from Outlook, so I can't do it totally from scratch. On the phone where I removed and reinstalled Outlook for the user, there is just a blank Inbox associated with her account after I did that. Yes, it does seem like the wipes were in progress when I aborted the script. I keep getting automated emails for the same users about their phone being remotely wiped, like it keeps trying to do it or keeps repeating it.
Perhaps the Exchange mailbox still has record of the phone. Use the Exchange admin console to view the mailbox properties. I can't reference it at the moment, but I think there's a category on the left called Mobile Devices. You can use that to force the mailbox to forget the device. Then you'd at least have that side cleaned up.
^^To what Shawn wrote. Check the devices page and remove the phones if they are still listed. Once that is done, the phone should not receive the wipe command. Absolute worst-case scenario, have the user back up their data and just wipe the phone (most people usually need it anyways). I've had to do similar at my work and deleting the device manually from the portal is always the best bet.
I couldn't find anything in the GUI to view the mobile devices but my co-worker helped me with the PowerShell to do that. There were remote wipes pending on most of them, though even one without a pending rewipe wouldn't connect. I removed them from the server using PowerShell and that fixed it. Then they were able to connect again.
For Android phones, it is recommended not to use alcohol wipes on the glass since it can damage the oleophobic coating on the screen (which helps to prevent fingerprint smudges). On the other surfaces of the phone, you can use the wipes. You can you a mild damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe/clean particulates off your phone. More cleaning tips can be found at AndroidCentral How to Clean and Disinfect Your Android Smartphone.
What if you coating is already worn off, you say? Then yes, then you can use a disinfectant wipe to clean the glass surface just like the iPhone since your coating is already worn off and no damage will be done.
In a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) setting, enterprise wipe can be used when someone leaves the company without properly deregistering their own smartphone. In that case, they may still be storing personal data, so just deleting the enterprise data makes more sense.
Another approach is to simply lock devices lost devices, rather than immediately deleting all stored data. Knox Guard and other MDM solutions allow IT to push notifications to the lock screen of the device with a customized message, such as a phone number to contact for anyone who finds the device.
Remote wiping is generally included with all MDM/EMM tools, so no matter which one your company is using, there is probably some level of erasure capability on employee smartphones. For corporate-owned devices, employees may naturally expect that they can be wiped at any time.
However, in the case of BYOD policies, IT admins may still have the ability to remotely wipe devices if employees are required to install an EMM/MDM agent or antimalware tools on their phone or tablet. Organizations should spell this out clearly in their BYOD policy, which employees sign before gaining access to corporate systems on their personal devices.
The other day I received an email from Collin Ikim from Magrenta, a car rental company in Romania and Bucharest, who explained that he always shows his clients how to wipe sensitive data from their cars before they return them.
If the phone or tablet runs 5.0 Lollipop or later it may have Android device protection or factory reset protection (FRP) active. This feature makes the phone unusable by a new owner if it's been reset because they can't activate it without entering a previously used Google account and password.
Step 4: Now you can wipe the device with a factory reset. However, this often only clears data at the application level, and other information such as SMS and chat messages can be restored with some standard data recovery tools.
Apple devices that support iOS 5 or later include hardware encryption when you set a passcode. If you perform a wipe using the method below, the encryption key is also overwritten, which makes it very difficult for anyone who wants to recover the data.
Windows Phone only offers encryption for business customers. The easiest way to wipe a Windows Phone 7, 8 or 8.1, or Windows 10 Mobile device is to perform a factory reset and then load dummy data to overwrite traces of the original data.
Step 3: Connect the phone to a PC and open My Computer. If you are connecting via Mac, download the Windows Phone app. Find the phone, which should show up as a removable device, and open it.
Step 4: Load dummy data onto the phone by dragging and dropping from another folder. Don't use your personal photos or documents here; instead choose files that contain no identifiable metadata that could be traced back to you, such as video or music files. Try and fill the phone with as much dummy data as possible.
Once the wipe is complete, remember to also revoke access to the phone from services such as Facebook and Google. To remove devices from your Google account, head to myaccount.google.com, click on Sign-in & security > Device activity & notifications and find the model you have wiped.
Consider destroying the device altogether to make it incredibly difficult for anyone to access residual data. David Zimmerman from LC Technology suggests drilling through the device. "Go completely through the phone in several locations, including the charging input, and then drop it off at an electronics recycling receptacle," he says.
Another method includes putting the device inside a bag and using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces that are no bigger than half an inch. Or for the most extreme case, "use an industrial-strength grinder to turn the phone into dust," he says.
Remote wipe is a feature that allows you to remove all data from your mobile device should it ever get lost or stolen. The documentation below outlines the process for Android, iOS devices, and Windows 8 phones. If you are Faculty, Staff, or Student and have NMU data (email, etc..) on your device you should follow the steps below. Please note, if your device has been lost or stolen it is a good idea to let your carrier know.
Before you can locate and wipe your devices, you need to set up iCloud and turn on Find My iPhone (or Find My iPad or Find My iPod) on each of your iOS devices. Find My iPhone requires iOS 5 or later.
Windows 8 phones make use of a Microsoft service called Find my Phone to locate and remotely wipe the device. Before you can use the Find my Phone service you will need to make sure you can log into the site windowsphone.com (you will need to sign in using your Microsoft account). Once you have verified that you can log into the site you will need to enable to service on your phone.
Once you have enabled these settings you can access the lost or erase functions through the windowsphone.com website. You can select your device and use the tools on the site to locate, lock, or erase the device if it has been lost or stolen.
So a new Android phone or tablet has just caught your attention, and you are looking to upgrade to the latest one as quickly as possible. But what do you do with your old device? There are a number of options available. You may want to give it away, trade it in with your carrier, put it up for sale, or recycle it.
The importance of backing up everything on your phone before wiping it cannot be overemphasized. Ideally, if Backup to Google Drive is turned on, device settings, apps and app data, SMS, call history, and contacts are automatically backed up and synced with Google Drive. Otherwise, you need to manually back them up.
Finally, you are ready to perform a factory reset. When you do a factory reset on your Android device, it erases all the data on your device and returns the phone back to its original out-of-the-box state as it was from the factory.
A lot of these posts are misleading, nearly every site says a factory reset is not enough, that is presuming you are running Android 5.0 or below as 6.0 and above are now encrypted by default and google made that a requirement by manufacturers or they would not be illegible to use Android OS, and android running 5.0 most certainly no longer work as phones anymore as they are too sluggish given how old they are i am certain 95% of people have android 7+ minimum.
