Hi,
I’m trying to add a Moto G42 with a freshly installed iodé OS 7.6 to our Headwind MDM platform. Normally you tap the start screen right after the first boot 7 times to open a qr code scanner to enroll the device to any mobile device management platform.
In my case this isn’t happening. Is it possible to manage iodé devices via mdm or has this feature been turned off?
Thanks for any help!
Never mind, qr code scanning doesn’t work for AOSP-based devices. Enrollment can be done via adb.
Here is a nice summary from reddit:
The reason why you can’t do 6-tap is that’s part of Android Enterprise which is include in GMS, and not part of AOSP. No 6-tap, Android-for-Work enrollment methods available. It is possible you may encounter this on an AOSP build if the OS builder has craftily extracted the required bits from other sources and included it in their build (meaning you get 6-tap, but you’ll never get Zero-touch Enrollment as that has a Google Cloud infra dependency that they control), but clearly AE was not done in your case. This type of build does not make Google happy in general anyway (GApps et al).

So the device enrollment succeeds that way, and it is working correctly? Good to hear!
Yes, enrollment succeeded and management of the device is working.
A simple adb install mdm-os.apk plus setting device ownership to the app just installed with adb shell dpm set-device-owner package.name/package.name.AdminReceiverwas all it needed.
mdm-os.apk is the apk file provided by the management plattform. In case of headwind mdm it can be downloaded from the server it runs on.
