Hi All,
I did the following to prevent "Erase":
- pulled out the sim, charged the phone, pulled out the internet cable from WiFI router to prevent access to internet.
- powered on the phone and put in Airplane mode
- Setting -> DEvice Adminstrators -> Android Device Manager - was unchecked to prevent ERASE
- backup up a few text files I needed usining bluetooth - rest were anyways backuped by Google (contacts, photos, etc)
- and then let the phone access the Internet.
Everything is in order as I am prevent the remote ERASE. Not a very good solution but a fix for the time being.
Thanks all for helping out.
