Though it would help anyone who would want to try and help if you provided some more information on the nature of the issue and phone.

For example knowing the disposition of the phone (how you got it, is it a demo/retail/company provided/etc), what kind of phone it is (snapdragon, exynos), model of the phone and how MDM was (or would have been) activated on the phone. MDM isn't there for no reason, and it would seem (reading what little I did on those Google Searches) the solutions would kinda seem too tailor towards the reason:

For example:
  • You work for a company (or of your own accord) that installed Mobile Device Management profiles
  • This is a demo unit from a store
  • You installed an application that configured MDM
  • You may have tried installing firmware (official, custom, unofficial, etc)

Hi there. I had the same issue on my samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition I purchased as a demo unit. tried flashing stock ROM using ODIN with no effect and unable to factory reset. finally, this was how I was able to factory reset by tablet with all the retail settings including all the preinstalled videos and images gone.
1. Firstly, your device should be signed into your google account.
2.Enable find my phone in settings
3.Go to your google account (in the same device or different device).
4.Go to devices and select lost device
5.press "consider erasing" device

And Voila, the tablet was reset to stock android with no retail apps or data.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks

Interesting

But I doubt this flaw will work on latest devices note 8, j7 pro,. Just to mention two of the devices I have got.

Also some MDM implementations will not allow you to enter settings menu.
