So 10 minutes into android device ownership and it’s bricked itself. Going well!

All signed in and let it download updates and do some config. The device restarted.

It’s now got a 7 digit pin which I’ve not specified yet (as not been asked to input one yet).

But it let me sign in with a Google account, and the device appears in my Google account to attempt remote reset…

However following the reset it’s put itself in flight mode, so can’t pick up the erase command.

Recovery mode doesn’t seem to exist on this specific model (Samsung Tab A9+) as no guides online appear to work.

Dire times.
