Motorola Solutions TC55

Hello,
I have a TC55 from Motorola Solutions (i.e. the enterprise division that does not belong to Google). It is a rugged phone with a big battery (4400 mAh), but certainly not the sleekest design. Not sure if there is much interest in this kind of device, and I am certainly no developer - but in case anyone is investigating the TC55, here are two things I found so far:
It does not come with any Google apps: no Maps, no Gmail, no Play store and so on.
It is easily rooted with Framaroot using the Gandalf exploit.
(I cannot post this info into the Framaroot thread due to my low post count).
Anyway, maybe this helps someone. I will be happy to try to answer any questions about the TC55, but keep in mind I am no pro and I am not keen in messing around in its internals much more than I have done already.

I heard my company is planning to go with these soon for entry level supervisors such as myself. I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is. All the specs and brochures from Motorola keep calling it a mobile computer in a smartphone "form factor" but never actually call it a phone. I didn't see anything in any of the specs to lead me to believe for sure that it was a phone or if it was just an Android computer in a smartphone form factor.
Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, that, you're certain this is a phone, correct?
Thanks.

Yes, definitely. You can call and get called, and you can send and receive SMS. It also supports wired headsets, and it is supposed to work with Bluetooth headsets, though I do not have any to test.

Thanks for the info but it looks like mine is going to be crippled.
Sort of a let-down really. Yes, it "can" be a phone. Or without a sim card it can be a really powerful Android based mobile computer. That's what it is going to be for most of us. Only a few supervisors with area management approval are going to get units with the phone features working. Still cool. Just not as cool as I'd thought it was going to be.

I see, sorry to hear that. It sounds weird to me to do that, but then again I have no clue about this type of work.
Maybe the crippling could be worked around or undone by people with good Android knowledge - but I suppose it might not be the best idea to go against company policy.

I don't think they're doing anything all that special to cripple it. They just won't all have sim cards or a cell plan. Pretty much as simple as that.
I won't be doing anything to circumvent that though or rooting it or anything like that. It's not like it's a gift and it belongs to me or anything. After almost 22 years, I've kind of grown to like my job and getting a paycheck every two weeks.I'd kind of like to keep it for another 15 or 20 years. Who knows, maybe my manager will decide that I need cell service with mine.
I work for a large automaker in the U.S. We have over 2.8 million square feet under roof. Personally, I can be anywhere on in the plant, on the roof, in pits & sub-basements underneath or anywhere on or near the 50 acre plant site at any given time. A lot of what I need to do on a daily basis is through our intranet portal. They're putting in something like 500 new wi-fi repeaters/extenders all around the plant as well. They're purchasing these for over 300 first line supervisors at my site alone. I'm pretty sure they're doing this corporate-wide so I hate to think what they're spending on these things as a corporation. I'm sure it would bankrupt many small nations! In addition to giving us portal access away from the desk, these are meant to replace our aging industrial radio system. As expensive as these are, they're still much cheaper than $1.5 to $2k per person for a radio that has no other built-in functionality and these do seem pretty ruggedized.
Still a shame about the phone functionality though.

Can you see what browser it comes with? Can you install (untrusted) APKs directly without rooting it?

FYI, in case anyone's wondering, there is a version with Google apps on the way (if it isn't already orderable).

Browser is a standard one, which comes with other devices. Name is Browser.apk and version is 1.0.9
It's possible to install unsigned APK's without rooting.

google account
Hi,
I got stucked with trying to get google calendars from my google account to TC55.
I found one solution to setup google account as a corporate one, but it's not available anymore due to change in google policy.
I can setup google mail via email account, but that doesn't bring me my calendars to the device.
I tried to install gapps but without success.
Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Motorola work on google apps for TC55.There is in beta.

No idea, I haven't tried. As far as I understand gapps are usually installed via flashing a zip from recovery, and the stock recovery of the TC55 does not have that option, it only allows reflashing a whole image, if I understand it correctly. Either way, I have come to appreciate the open source alternatives and do not want to get Google on my phone, so I will not try, sorry.
However, going by this thread over at the Motorola support forum, it seems it won't take long until there is official gapps support:

Motorola has now released a TC55-firmware with Google apps. Here are the release notes:
https://atgsupportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/content/emb/docs/ReleaseNotes/Release%20Notes%20-%20%20TC55_RevAPlus_GMS_01%2074G_v10.htm
According to the support email they sent me, to get the actual release you need to perform the following arcane ritual:
Resolution Type is : Software Download
Resolution Id is  : 95562
Resolution Title is : TC55 Update Image v1.74 with GMS (Google Mobile Service) Release Note & Factory Reset & Enterprise Enabler package
restrictedSW :
T55N0JGMVRUEN17400.zip 321 MB TC55 OS Recovery Update package
T55N0JGMVAUEN17400.apf 321 MB TC55 OS update package file for deployment using MSP
If you require access to OS files for TC55 1.74 GMS then call the local Support Desk and provide following information:
a. Site ID
b. Serial #(s)
c. Phone #
d. Customer name (First and Last)
e. E-mail address

Don't ask me what the local support desk number is, or the site ID, or why they have to make this so complicated.

Hi Elanguescence,
I think I screwed up my tc55 by enabling the multiuser function without first creating the white list. Now all the users (with admin rights) does not have access to all the programs, including Applock Administrator and Multiuser administrator.
To cut things short, do you know of a way to reset the device? I don't mind setting it to factory default and start over. I've googled it and some said to launch Rapid Deployment and scan a barcode from there... but my Rapid Deployment just says "Service Not Ready, Please Wait" and get stuck there.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Any TC55 users here? Should be getting my unit w/ GMS soon... How do you guys like it?
Is the bootloader locked?
Sent from my Moto X

Hey!
I want to Buy one TC55 for me. Normally i hate Android and the Google stuff on the Phone but some Motorola Salesman told me there is a version with out.
Now i use an Sybian Device. That mean i am "offline" the hole time and when i need Internet the Phone connect the the Internet.
So how about that phone can i work "offline" to?
I will also use an VPN Tunnel to block on my backend all Connnection i dont want. Does all Data trough this VPN Tunnel ?
How about the Barcode Scanning does it work good?
I know for 2D i need to use the Cam but how works it when i am in some other Application?

Nobody?

Ok. I just bought a TC55 from a Friend and I was wondering if someone would post the update to get GSM and the Factory Reset packages. I went to the page and it requires all the information posted above before. Mine is rooted, but i am trying to install GAPS but the recovery is the basic and cannot. I manually installed Google Play and the Google Play Services but Google Play services keep crashing and the Play Store will not connect, any ideas ?

the are 2 versions one with google s... service and the other without.
So i belive you have the first?
(Can i ask you some question about that phone?)

User Installed CA sprfw01 - what is it?

Hello,
I have a lg ls775 and under the user security certificates there is one called sprfw01. I have no idea why or what its for. Im on the sprint network. Is there a way i can inspect the cert or atleast figure out whats using it? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thnx guys!
Could this be from pairing my phone with some device ie. Smart watch or another phone?
Its actually under User credentials. Hope that can jog anyones memory as to what this may be.

I'm currently using the same phone as you and on the same carrier, and just noticed this user credential the other day as well. I didnt recognize it so I deleted it. I'm afraid I cant tell you if it really affected my device as it was already giving me some issues before I deleted the credential. At the time, and again today, I looked for the same answer as you and haven't found any additional information on it, so I can't be much help with exactly why it's there or what put it there.
However, I may be able to help put your mind at ease since I did happen to do a factory reset today and even though I deleted it before, it was back afterward. So my guess is that its not dangerous. (again, thats my opinion, hopefully someone can confirm if I am correct)
Some details to that lead me to think it's safe:
My LG G6 isn't rooted, and was not before the redo. (so technically nothing should have been able to reinstall it that was nefarious)
I didn't install any potentially shady apps when I did the factory reset ( at time of writing this, just a few big name apps from the play store, no random restored apks or anything like that).
I pulled my SD card out before the wipe and haven't put one back in yet, so that rules out something left over on there working itself back in somehow.
I allowed google to "restore" my most recent backup it made, but the most recent backup was AFTER I removed the credential so it shouldn't have been on there (google backups seems to restore very little anyway, and requests all backed up app downloads from the Play store) .
I have connected it to my home secured wifi.
No bluetooth connections yet.
No sharing to any devices or NFC usage, etc.
So from all of that, I believe it is either a Sprint thing, an LG UI thing, or something specific to the LG g6 model, and built into the factory settings. That's just my thoughts, but I thought maybe my experience might make you feel a little more at ease. Hopefully someone can reply with what the heck it actually is though, because little things like not being able to figure out the source of this drive me crazy even after all of that.

Just an update, I was looking through my LG V30+ and found the same credentials stored on this device too. No additional details on it's purpose were really gained from it though. Picture attached.

"User Credential" "sprfw01" also on LG ls 775
I saw the same thing and I searched "sprfw01" . I was wondering what it was. I also have this "User Credential" on an LG ls 775 on Sprint.

Passwords Saved Credential
I did some research into this and what I see is it's a credential from when you saved your passwords for an example unlock screen & any passwords like I have to specific websites.
Jusy my thoughts...
*Any good unlock or root for the ls993?

Google Factory Reset Protection & used phones

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused at the moment.
My mum dropped her phone and needs a new one. I was able to retrieve all her data and would also like to set up a device for her with a minimal custom rom, etc.
Now, she doesn't have a lot to spend on a phone, so the logical decision would be to get a good used device. That's when I learned of FRP. However, I'm unsure how exactly it works.
Is there any way to get around it, at all, without having the Google account data? (And without sending it to the manufacturer, as that would surely raise the costs, making it pointless.)
I've read on a few threads that it's possible to re-flash the stock firmware, but then someone wrote that the account still was needed to install custom roms.
Is this heavily dependent on the device or are there some general rules to follow?

FRP isn't an issue if the device is properly reset, many people don't.
FRP on most Android devices can be bypassed, just do a search on YouTube for FRP, the device and current Android version.
Best to ask the seller if the device is FRP locked before buying.
Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk

The problem is that most sellers don't seem to even know about this, as it's done automatically opt-out (I didn't either, but my phone is already older than Android 5 and I've just used it with Lineage all the time and didn't bother).
I've talked to a handful of sellers online now and asked them if their accounts were removed, but they always just reply with "sure, the phone is factory reset", then you have to explain to them what FRP even is and why they need to check manually. Some didn't even respond after that yet, one still didn't fully get my issue. It's a complete mess, I just wanted to buy a used phone for my mum.

Thanks for the hint, I didn't even consider looking on Youtube. I've had a quick search and I can see that it's easier to show the instructions that way, so no wonder I haven't found much concrete info.
However most I've seen just replace the Google account with their own one. I presume you would swap out the account with your own, then disable FRP and delete the account? Does that work?
My mum doesn't have a Google account, I have one, but I don't really want it sitting on there. I didn't even plan on installing any Google services to begin with..

Factory Reset Protection - Any way to remove from Samsung?

Hello!
I have Samsung Galaxy A03s. I did a factory reset a few days ago and I didn't remember my password. I also have no clue what is the google account Im signed with.
I tried numerous different ways, I watched multiple youtube videos - none of them worked.
Do you have any suggestion what I could do?? And also are there any free apps I can use???
I tried downloading dr fone but I need to pay in order to do anything with the app.

What free tutorials you can find on the internet.
Samsung can unlock it with proof of purchase too I believe.
Next time delete Google and Samsung accounts from device before you do the reset and do the reset from settings vs boot menu to avoid this from happening...

I downloaded SamFirm tool but I have no idea how to use it.
If anyone knows this tool, could you please tell me what Im supposed to do in order to unlock my phone?

Samfirm is as the name suggest a tool to download Samsung firmware for mobiles - this isn't of any use. MediaTek devices can be accessed low level so one could just erase FRP partition (if Samsung followed the rules)
But there is risk bricking your device, therefore I recommend youtube videos like this - it's much more safe to use.

You are not looking for a way to remove FRP, you should be looking for a way to "bypass" FRP on your specific model number.
Try doing a Google search for:
"Bypass FRP (your specific model number)"
Also, the best to avoid this in the future is to go to your Google settings and disable the "Find My Device" feature and remove the Google account before you factory reset the device. Then it will not trigger FRP lock when you do the reset.

Yeah, there are many ways to bypass FRP lock. This is just one of many tools and methods.
But, with what I posted previously, neither removing or bypassing FRP are necessary. It is better to understand how Google and android work than it is to blindly walk into a problem that requires a tool to fix. It is also a very bad idea to not remember Google login email and password, it's as simple as keeping that info somewhere other than the device.
I find it hard to believe or understand how no one ever thinks ahead or "looks where they are going" when they do things without first understanding the details or potential consequences of actions when tinkering with technology that they don't truly understand. To give an example to put things into scope, if people handled guns as carelessly as they do their phones, just imagine.....
Not that phones present the same dangers, just making a point.

Question FRP Lock on A22 5G

Hi folks,
a family friend inherited an A22 from a deceased friend, but she did not have the password for it.
As I had never heard of FRP before, I advised her to reset the phone, which is how the FRP took effect. I now feel guilty for giving obviously wrong advice and would like to fix it.
I guess there is no proof of purchase for the phone anymore and all the passwords from the documents didn't work. A Vodafone employee advised me to scrap the phone, but I don't think so.
I found the software "**** your FRP" here in the forum and tried it, but the A22 is not on the list of Knox-compatible devices. Therefore, the code #*0#* does not work either and I can't get any further.
I got a little further with the talkback function. I was able to open the Google Assistant and navigate to Chrome or the settings. Unfortunately, I could not activate the developer options, couldn't navigate to the app settings or allow the installation of apps from unknown sources.
After about 8 hours and several attempts, I am at my wit's end. I have the deceased's email address and name. Unfortunately, this was not enough to reset the password. If I am informed correctly, his number has also been deactivated, so I can no longer receive SMS. I don't have the SIM card either, but I might be able to get it.
I hope you guys can help me.
Best regards,
Felix

Contact Samsung service / a phone service.
You could so it yourself, but the time needed will be too much

As I said, the people at Vodafone said you can only scrap it. I had read that you can get the device unlocked with the help of the proof of purchase, but no one knows exactly where the receipt could be.

I'm not in a hurry, I'm just looking for a tool to do this with, or instructions on how to bypass the FRP.
I can forget Google, as 99% of the results are scam and the remaining 1% did not work.

Ive heard that YouTube has just the right type of guide for almost exactly those probs, and by all accounts very very simple to follow, as I did recently on my sister's device she left at home, no longer wanted, ditched for an apple contraption. I will add, no one with nefarious reasons, stolen devices should use the helpful tools there. Getting a job and buying a device the bloody deviants should....damn the swines.

The problem with YouTube videos is that Samsung (and pretty much every other major manufacturer) has teams of employees whose sole job is to look through the internet for how-to videos and posts, make a note of how the trick/bypass works, and submit it to the software development team to be fixed in the very next update. That's why the how-to videos are full of comments saying "this didn't work for me" or "I don't have that option on my device".
There's a professional 3rd party business that I've used for things like this before. Discussion of paid services isn't allowed in the forums, but anyone who wants a recommendation can DM me

I completely agree mate, it's hit and miss, there are plenty of other sources out there. Just coincidentally, I found myself reading a comment that was the exact situation I was in yesterday. Obviously, not wanting the member to be struggling I gently nudged him towards a simple and 100% idiot's guide that will put him right. Admittedly a large majority of these things are countered/blocked or absolute bollox as I have encountered many times lmfao

Also mate, getting to chrome is most of it done. 4 files to download, 2 through the galaxy store which allows them to install, then through those, sorry, plus ios14 launcher allows you to activate unknown sources etc..it's not difficult. Worked like a charm. Just find the Samsung a22 5g frp unlock, activate unknown sources how to.
