Question [SOLVED] Cant get into my tablet because of "Can't create work profile because policy prevents custom os"

[jjonahparker]

***UPDATE***
To anyone who comes across this, I fixed the issue by following a guide by @AddictedA1 on this post . Note that your case might be different as in you might be locked out of device and unable to change OEM lock from settings. This was the case with me so I just follwed the FRP/Knox bypass guide, accessed settings, enabled OEM unlocking and the proceeded with the above guide.

If you have any questions then just message me.
***************
So today we were given Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lites by our state government for promoting technology in the state (elections in a few months go figure).

The issue was that it comes with knox which has government agency as the admin.

I tried rooting by flashing magisk flashed AP following this guide (for samsung galaxy tab A7) but now after startup it asks me to connect to the Internet and, runs a few checks and says "cant create work profile because security policy prevents this on a custom os".
It's just stuck at that message and can't get out of there.

I've never had any Samsung device before so I might be doing something wrong. Any help on how to get out of this is appreciated. Thanks

Well. I faced the same problem. After hours of hit and trail i finally managed to atleast boot back to my previous state i.e Yogi Ji's pic

Solution : I just relocked my bootloader via Download Mode and Flashed latest Firmware ( September Build ) with ODIN Tool. Untill some new development i.e custom ROMs for this device comes i think we are stuck with this lol

Tried doing it that's what tripped knox for me unfortunately

 

[jjonahparker]

I have tried flashing after patching the AP file with magisk and it still didn't work.

It's knox which is the issue. It'll only work If someone can remove knox successfully and please update here if you do so. Thanks

The Knox app only stop booting if it detects that bootloader was unlocked or somtheing of similar nature. You can go back to your old state by relocking and flashing stock fw.

i made a quick guide, hope it helps

FIX - "Can't create work profile because policy prevents custom OS"

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite was distributed by our state government for promoting technology in the state. (JUST ELECTION THINGS) Anyways, the Tabs are coming with Samsung Knox security which cannot be uninstalled, disabled, debloated with adb...

Somebody get help or asked some experience in XDA to make a TWRP port for this device or else forget privacy in this.
