I am watching this on my personal chromebook that is not owned by a school. This is prob the best tutorial for unenrolling a chromebook I had seen. You actually understand what you are doing and not making stupid shit up. Great job!
I appreciate it! I'm working on a new video that will cover a new method that applies to more chromebook models! It's pretty sick I'm excited for it
heyy would this work on a 100e gen 3 chromebook?
Thank you so much. This helped a lot
How do I do it on a Chromebook HP G8 EE need help urgent I don’t have any other laptop and found this one
Bahaha people in school call me hacker now because I am gaming during class!! This guys legit
Did u have to buy a new card thing to replace that one
@@kylaross7229yes
Just buy it bro@@kylaross7229
@@kylaross7229 You don't technically have to buy a new M.2 SSD but it's nice to have a backup of the original for two reasons. You might need the chromebook enrolled for standardized testing so on those days just pop the old drive in before school. Secondly there might be data on the drive you don't want to delete so having a backup is nice
I have an old Acer Extensa 5220 ,would that work too ?
How would I unenroll a lenovo 500e chrome book?
@SAM STRECKER I have a Acer C511 BOBBA 360 board fully managed by some organization still.
I bought this Chromebook about a year ago 2nd hand. I don't have access to developer mode - it seems it is fully managed on the device itself. Is there somewhere that I can get in touch with you for further discussion?
I looked at the PCB online and it looks possible to unenroll! You can email me samstrecker11@gmail.com with more details! Thanks
@SAM STRECKER Hello, i own a Lenovo 300e Chromebook 2nd Gen MTK that i purchased 3 years ago, but it's managed by an organization. I was wondering if there's any way to remove forced enterprise enrollment from this model
This chromebook appears to have a soldered in SSD so firstly I would try to find if there is a TPM protection screw, switch, or button. Then I would disconnect the battery for 15 minutes plug the chromebook directly into the charger without the battery and then try to enter developer mode with esc, refresh, power. Let me know if that works! If not I am always open to getting emails to see if we can figure it out further!
Honestly best to try to install a custom uefi on it by flashing it on the chip with hardware
@@itsyaboivoid Most people don't have BGA reflow stations, FPGA dev boards, or the pinout for that specific TPM to to flash it. This would work for every chromebook but requires a lot more work but if it's popular I could look into a service. Ship me your chromebook and for $50 I will unenroll it. Would anyone consider this?
@@SAMSTRECKER$50 Id do it! Found a chromebook lenovo thats tied to doordash. Trying to see if i can make it mine
Let me know if you’ve found a solution cause I’m having the same issue
I’m super late but I have a question do you have to find a replacement for the drive?
Technically no but I find it safer and easier to swap the drive than use the existing one. In case you need software for tests or a reason to be enrolled you can do it on the fly by having 2 drives
Hello i recently graduated and wanted to put to use my old chromebook do you know how i would unenroll a Lenovo 500e Chromebook 2nd Gen if you do the help is appreciated thank you.
that isent possible as you need to ask a IT from your school to deprovision the device(LATE REPLY)
is this possible on my acer spin 511
I've had mines in a closet for months because it got stuck into a boot loop and then I forgot what I did, I think I was trying to flash something to try and fix this problem when it got bricked. Would this just be a main problem with the drive or would it entail something different is wrong? Something to add as well, when I press the refresh key and power button nothing happens except the little light blinks momentarily once and turns off.
@@basedrojas8231 yeah it sounds like you corrupted your OS. You’ll need another PC to download the chromeOS from the Google store to create a bootable installer to put chromeOS back on it
Dear Sam, I do not know how gifted you are in this but I am recently graduated and have come across a chrome book it is a Lenovo thinkpad 11e. now I do not know the exact specs or if it is even possible it unenroll but if we perhaps exchange information and get it looked at i am willing to pay you a good price :)
if you are interested please reply to this and I will give you my email

If it has a removable M.2 SSD then it should work perfectly

Hi, I have Chromebase (Acer CA24I2) that's enterprise enrolled, dev mode disabled by policy etc etc. I wondered if you could help me with any tips on unenrolling this. It has forced enrollment and nothing I have tried has worked. Just not sure whether it can be used or needs to be junked :( Thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue with my acer r721t, it's looking like it's just junk now.
How do I do it with a Lenovo s330
Hey, I have a NL71CT-L chromebook from CTL. The laptop was given to me by am organization, but the administrator is a public library. I want to know how to bypass the forced enterprise enrollment. I can give you more details if needed. I can use the laptop of course to watch UA-cam videos, Google stuff etc. But there are limitations and restrictions. Please help. I've tried every workaround like factory resetting it, try to access developers mode which is not possible obviously. Nothing has helped. The chromebook was given to me fresh out the box, so it's not stolen. Please help. I can't download any apps on it or anything of that nature.
Hello, I've never personally seen this laptop but looking at the specs online you won't be able to swap the SSD as it's soldered on. If you want I can send you my email and you can send a picture of the PCB and I can see if I can figure out how to unenroll it. Purely speculation but I think it will have a TPM protection screw you need to take out while connected to AC power only with the battery disconnected will allow dev mode to be enabled
Hello, I definitely want your email so I can send you pics of everything that you may need to unenroll this chromebook from the forced enterprise enrollment. Please reply at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
@@SAMSTRECKER please provide me with your email address, I definitely want to unenroll this chromebook. Thank you.
@@eliseoramos397 samstrecker11@gmail.com! I look forward to helping out!
I figure out how to remove the forced enterprise enrollment.
1. I SIMPLY UPDATED THE LENOVO 300E CHROMEBOOK 2ND GEN. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS CONNECTED TO WIFI TO UPDATE.
2. WHEN UPDATED, LOOK UP HOW TO PUT IT IN DEVELOPER MODE.
3. ONCE IN DEVELOPER MODE, LOG IN TO A GOOGLE ACCOUNT SO YOU CAN POWER WASH THE CHROMEBOOK.
4. YOU CAN KEEP IT ON DEVELOPER MODE OR TAKE IT OFF. YOUR CHOICE...
5. CONGRATS YOU FINISH BABY ;P
There is a thing called auto enroll..
Your reply doesn’t make sense or I don’t understand what you’re applying. My Chromebook wouldn’t let me put it in developer mode because it was enrolled. once I updated it. I was able to put the Chromebook in developer mode. I begin to power wash the Chromebook right after. Boom no enterprise enrollment.
hello i have a HP chromebook 11 G6 ee and i wanted to know how i can remove the management off this chromebook as idk how to and i don’t know if i can swap out the storage for that so lmk
let me know if you found out
working on the same thing rn
Hey man, I own a Lenovo 300e 2nd gen which i’m aware has a soldered hard drive to the motherboard, so can I just find a motherboard on eBay to replace for that Chromebook?
Yeah swapping the motherboard is the easiest and least invasive option if the drive is soldered. When it is time to return the device just swap the old motherboard back in
Hi there, I bought second hand acer chromebook tab 10, and is managed by a school....😢 Maybe there is anywaybto bypass the enrollement? Thanks
That one is going to be really tricky since it's a tablet. Getting inside will require spludgers, suction cup puller, and plastic shims. The SSD is also soldered
Hello Sam! I have a dell latitude 5400 Chromebook that is enrolled by an organization, is there anyway you can help me out and maybe see if it even can be unenrolled?
I have the same laptop. Bought it off Marketplace. Turns out, it was likely stolen from a local library years ago. Its still somewhat usable, but I'd rather not have the management. Dev mode is locked "by system policy" and it has force re-enroll, so I don't think there's anything that can be done, short of the original administrator deprovisioning it - which I've reached out to the library but not heard back yet.
Any insight on this Sam?? Thanks!!
hey would this be possible with a acer spin 511 and what size ssd should i get?
specific model is R753T
hey, i was wondering if you could help me unenroll my lenovo 100e 2nd gen (model name is 81ma if that helps) i opened it up but i didn’t see any screw. i would really appreciate if you could help me ❤
Hello, first I would try disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes and plugging it directly into the charger without the battery plugged in inside. It should power on and may allow you to enter dev mode and power wash.
Would it work if I plug the drive into another PC or laptop to format the drive and then just put it back in the chromebook?
Yeah might work could be secured though
Hello Sam, I have a Asus Chromebook C202XA and im wondering if i would be able to unenroll it and if so then where will i be able to get the SSD.
Hello, this chromebook uses a soldered SSD. So your best bet is to disconnect the battery and wait 15 minutes. Then plug the computer in directly to the charger and see if you can enable dev mode and power wash it. If that doesn't work I might be able to find a schematic for the Infineon SLB9655TT1.2 TPM it uses and short the pins to clear it.
So i unplug it for 15 mins then plug it back in and THEN put the charger in?
@@user-lq4iq9xf5b Don't plug the battery in after 15 minutes. Plug it directly into the charger. It will still power on
@@SAMSTRECKER oh right
i tried to do it and i plugged the battery in and it didnt work no wonder
wait im confused when did you change out the chip, and how
The little chip is the M.2 SSD. M.2 is the form factor for the SSD. There is one screw on the top that holds it down and you pull it out sorta like RAM slots
Hey would this be possible with a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook?
No
Does this method work for a c/b with enterprise enrollment? I will have to open the case! Thank you 🤓
It should work, it really depends on the model of chromebook though as there are dozens of different chassis designs
@@SAMSTRECKER yes, thank you 🤓
Can I swap the drives without the recovery stuff and still use it?
Yes but you will need a bootable hard drive with an OS on it
enrollment controlled by a chip not the filesystem
I have a lenovo thinkpad c13 yoga gen 1 chromebook that is managed by former employer. i got to the point where i can use it but it still says "managed by ########" and is under an enterprise version and would love to take that off and not be tracked lol, any ideas you can help with? thanks in advance!!
Have you tried signing in with a personal account that's not managed by the domain
@@SAMSTRECKER yes well thats how ive been using it but still says managed by the company. which im guessing is being tracked. i downloaded a new chrome os on it but it never took away the "manage by company"
Hi, I have a Dell Chromebook intel model 9560ngw, if I buy this card, will this completely wipe away the school enrollment (so I can use it for myself and such)?
The SSD is soldered onto the motherboard so you will have to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes then plug the computer directly into the charger without the battery plugged in inside. Then try to enable dev mode then power wash!
@@SAMSTRECKERwhat if dev mode is blocked from turning on?
thank you so much! i can play roblox in class now!!!!
No problem
what did you do for it exactly?
@@teuxzrs Took the hard drive out and put in a new one
I would do this but you have to give it back to the school at the end of the year

so I don't have to replace the motherboard to circumvent enrollment?
Depends if the SSD is soldered to the motherboard or not
i’ve got a hp 225 g8. could just changing the memory do the same thing?
If it's a socketed M.2 then yes
Do you have to find a same one or can you just not have one ?
You need a hard drive for the computer to work. You can technically get a different kind as long as it is the same size
Hey, i have a Dell chromebook from my old school 3 years ago and my chromebook didnt have that screw, is there a way i can unenroll the chromebook from the school without buying anything, if i need to buy something then i will try

Hello, do you know what brand of chromebook you have? Thanks
@@SAMSTRECKER acer, thank you for the reply
@@SAMSTRECKER also it’s a acer chromebox, it’s not a Chromebook, it requires a monitor :)
@@mikestepz3945 Okay sweet if it's a chromebox then all you need is to find an M.2 SSD to swap with the original drive. When you open the computer there will be a wifi M.2 card, thing with two wires connected to it, and then below it the M.2 SSD. You will want to replace the M.2 SSD below the wifi card with a new drive. This should get rid of any enrollment they have.
@@SAMSTRECKER brilliant thank you, so do I take out the M.2 SSD and replace it with another one?
ok bro

Hey man, could you get me the model number and I can see what I can find! Thanks
@@SAMSTRECKER how can I check that
@@youngflash1015 There should be a model number sticker or engraving somewhere on the device. Check the bottom and google the serial number if it doesn't say the model number
@@SAMSTRECKER I think it’s RTL8822ce
Did u find anything?
So I can do this and sell my Chromebook? I've had this for like 4 years now and it's just been sitting here and my school said they won't take it back😂
Yes you will be able to sell what's rightfully yours
Can we just reformat thr drive?
Yes but you will loose your enrollment. Sometimes a school may require enrollment for standardized testing so it's nice to have the original drive. Know there will be a test that day just pop in the old drive for the day and then swap it when you get home
I have this exact chrome book, but the developer option is disable , will this still work???
Yeah it should
Hi, I have a Samsung Chromebook and its enrolled/managed by someone. Please… what is the alternative why to unlocked it?
Hello, what model do you have? Thanks
for my chrombook the storage is sauterd in, what can I do then the model isacer c871 series btw
You can try taking the battery out and waiting 15 minutes. Then plug the chromebook into the charger without reconnecting the battery and try to powerwash with esc+refresh+power
@@SAMSTRECKER Hey taking the battery out does not let the Chromebook start even when it is plugged in and if I leave it on and then take out the battery it still won't restart I made a mistake as well its an Acer c781 series.
Hey Sam ! I recently bought a chromebook but I realized now that they are administered by an organization, most likely a school. And it’s a dell Chromebook 11 3189. How can I fix it and make it unmanaged by that school ?
You can first try unplugging the battery and waiting 15 minutes. Then plug the computer directly into the charger and try to power wash it
@@SAMSTRECKER thank you for your answer, but what do you mean by plug the computer directly into the charger do you mean just charge the computer or does that mean something else? And how do I power wash it? Sorry for all the questions but this would be a big help! ( also just earned urself a loyal subscriber)
@@alhammohamed7101 Don't plug the battery in again. To power the laptop you need to plug it into the charger
Hey, I tried what u said and i couldn’t power wash it because I don’t have a off button on my keyboard. The iPhone is on the side and when I ever I press on it to power wash, it, just shut down the computer. What do you think would be another choice?
Would u mind if I sent u an email of how the bottom of the Chromebook looks ? I think it would help you understand my question better.
Are you sure the screw prevents writing to BIOS?
It depends on the model of chromebook. But some have a screw that acts like a switch. If there is contact it's held in a 1 state so protection is on. If you remove it, the switch is flipped to 0 and protection is disabled
@SAMSTRECKER Samsung Chromebook 4 manufactured in 2023. I removed the battery, plugged it back in, no change. I'm going to flash the bios with either legacy or uefi bios from mrchromebook. I think you know that one already. Any suggestion is greatly welcome.
Hey i have a acer chrombook R752series modelno.N18Q6
If i want it to be unmanaged bij my schooli shoud change the ssd (intel r model 9560NGW)? Yes?
You said also said somthing about m.2 about that it is more complicathed? Is that the case?
Yeah the M.2 SSD is socketed so you should be able to swap it and unenroll your chromebook!
How would I unenterprise enroll a hp g4 chromebook? Same method or does it require soldering? Also I heard somewhere that taking cmos out for a minute and putting it back in would register it with a new serial number unenterprising it. Do you know if that would be true or false?
The SSD is soldered and yes the CMOS method would still work, or at least easy to try. While chromebooks don't have a tradational CMOS button cell battery they still might have a capacitor that holds charge from the battery. So when you disconnect the battery this capacitor discharges slowly and when empty the brains of the enrollment are effectively wiped or reset.
@@SAMSTRECKER I was told the same for a hp g8 ee but not 100% sure if true. I was told to just remove the battery for 30 seconds to a minute and put it back in and it would wipe the enrollment
Update, I did it and now I'm pretty sure it's unenrolled I just can't seem to find my USB for reinstalling OS
@@Deathurway22did you find it and is it unenrolled
can any age do this? i want to do this but i’m scared i would mess up
Yes anyone can do this! It can be intimidating the first time for sure but there's no reason to be scared! Just follow a couple rules of thumb and you'll never expose yourself or the chromebook to danger. The main things to consider are, work on a clear surface to prevent spills, never touch the screw driver across multiple solder points to prevent short circuiting, the bottom cover is held with plastic tabs so sometimes it feels like they are going to break but they won't, and finally just take your time! There's no rush and no sense in making mistakes trying to. You got this!
THANKS IT WOOORKED!!!! ROBLOX
I don’t know hardware😢
how do i replace a dell 3100? I can’t find the hard drive. please help !!
Unfortunately the SSD is soldered onto the motherboard for that chromebook. I would try the battery/screw method first then we can see what works from there!
ua-cam.com/video/oWEIpCJMkBQ/v-deo.htmlsi=pjJA72NgFCfE2NP7
The chromebook is still the school's property though. If I ever did this, I would be in big trouble. Also, because it is school property, is this illegal?
I would be in SO much trouble for doing this. On top of that, I already have two web filter violations for trying to go to a proxy website and trying to access an ILLEGAL website.

Yeah but remember some are soldered and some are not. Depends on the model
how about chromebox?
Much harder if the unit is enclosed and not meant to be opened
bro is there any other way to unenroll without buying the SSD
Yes but they are less likely to work or more specialized. You can try disconnecting the battery internally for 15 minutes then plugging the computer directly into the charger. Then you can try powerwashing and it may remove the protection and wipe the TPM protecting the enrollment. Make sure to sign in with a personal account first and not your domains email as it will auto enroll itself again
@@SAMSTRECKER So it's like taking out / unplugging the battery inside the Chromebook and wait for 15 minutes. Then plug the computer directly into the charger and reset it. Lastly, make sure to sign in with a personal account. Am I right :)
@@pirritheebanmaranwhitley-sp1vw Yup sounds pretty good to me!

Some chromebooks won't have the screw. Some have a small button cell battery that needs to be removed. Some handle removing the battery for 15min as the same. Just look around and don't be afraid to take things apart
