Getting rid of Managed Device / Enterprise control

Hi guys,

I've got a 7.1 with the latest Android (10). The device is under full control by my company. This means that It says that it is under control everywhere (text on lockscreen, statusbar etc), that certain things are blocked (entering developer mode, installing apk's outside of Play Store etc) and that I have a personal and work profile on the phone. If I delete the last one, the phone automatically resets (!). For me this is a reason to get rid of it asap.

First things first: the IT guys said this is okay (there are people that only have a personal phone and are allowed to use this too within the company), but they just won't help me with it :) So here I am for your help!

Do you guys know how I can disable/remove the corporate stuff? I tried a normal reset, but the company stuff is allready there on first boot and forces you to load and install it all before you can properly enter the Android environment. I tried installing the december firmware here on the site by ADB sideload, but it aborts because it's an older version (downgrade).

Do you have any idea how to get rid of it all? Where is the company stuff incorporated/embedded? Is that in firmware or on a deeper level? And is it possible without unlocking bootloader?

Thank you in advance!

You can have some one pay to unlock the boot loader and flash a rom ( you have to pay to unlock the boot loader ) I would link it but some one told a mod on me so you will have to search for i t

thanks for the reply. are you sure then that al the corporate stuff is in the rom and not in some deeper level (like on boot level or a special partition of some sort)?
cheers!
