When a phone is enrolled in an enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, sold as a leased device, or flagged as stolen, the KG Lock activates. It is essentially a "remote kill switch" that ties the phone's hardware (IMEI/Serial Number) to a cloud server. Once triggered, the phone disables core functions, prevents OEM unlocking, and blocks standard recovery methods. The KG state can be labeled as "Checking," "Active," or "Locked," indicating the restriction is in place.
