I have a similar situation with a Note3 (N900T Tmo) with the PayJoy crap on it.
It lets me boot up to the main screen, even able to use it but the PayJoy keeps popping up.
I can access download mode via buttons, BUT when trying to flash anything (stock or even factory combination files) it throws an MDM error.
Tried every version of Odin including the patched ones, but none can flash anything onto this device.
The Developer Options menu is locked so I can't enable ADB mode including via keypad *#0808#
The computer can see the device connected, just showing a modem port, no ADB port.
Interestingly I'm able to use an OTG cable and pretty much sideload any app on it, but the low level ones get blocked upon running it.

Tried all these apps, but no Joy with PayJoy! (pun intended lol)
The MDM policy prevents Test-DPC from running.

By the way I have also tried an emergency boot disk, which allows download mode, but the dreaded MDM error still shows up.
I believe the solution lies in disabling the MDM policy somehow then flash full stock and done.
So if anyone has a working solution, at least give us a clue or two, much appreciated. (not interested in private Skype, thanks.)

Hi
I have g950f demo with unknown baseband even after full firmware write. Is possible to make it working?

I remove payjoy from s8 plus doing this:

1- *#0808#
2- mtp + adb, click and go back and click again on mtp + adb,,
3- adb shell to ask for depuration permission.
4- adb shell pm list packages -e | grep 'payjoy'
5- adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.payjoy.status (the one i found on step 4, cant remember exactly)
6- now payjoy is disable, enable oem unlock, do a factory reset or download mode and reflash the combination and stock after that.. whatever you want.
