[NEW] Installing apps on a Gabb Phone Z2?
YOU CAN NOW ACCESS THE INTERNET ON YOUR GABB PHONE. However, you still can't mod or get apps on it. Here's a tutorial on how to access the internet. Video Tutorial made by Hezy: Tutorial may not be current, so check the text tutorial. Text...

[ORIGINAL POST]Obviously, yes, the gabb phone is meant for little kids and such for their first phone. However, it definitely is running android, and probably could be tampered with. If you're wondering what I really need, I mostly talk to people using discord.
Here's what I've tried so far. There is no way (from the file manager) to install .apk files. All it does is tell me that there's no app to open the file with. I have also tried to head over to the bootloader, by holding down the power button and volume down button. I'm fine with no social media, but there is wifi on it, so I was assuming if I could find a way to just get an apk on there, then it would work fine. Also, with the new update, you can see more folders of the phone instead of the standard, PTP thing.

I can't enable developer settings or anything like that. Looks like they've done a good job locking it down.
If anyone has ANY idea at all of how to install apps of any kind on this, please reply.

YOO NIKKO IDK HOW I FOUND U BUT I DID LMAO. I WAS GOOGLING HOW TO INSTALL LIKE APPS ON THAT PHONE JUST IN CASE I GET IT FOR MY FIRST PHONE AND THIS POPPED UP LMAOOOOO

Well if you are reading this, look up how to watch youtube on gabb phone tutorial to learn how to transfer files. If you download an apk on computer, go to computer, press show in folder after downloading apk, copy the file, plug in the charging cord to the gabb and a pc usb, and press this pc in your files, gabb phone, downloads, and paste it. If you go into my files on your gabb, you can go to it but there is no package installer, and if you could download a software or something similar to a package installer, than you could download any app.

It says no app to run this

Maybe if you could run an emulator or jailbreak the gabb phone. Maybe if you could transfer a apk installer file from your computer. Maybe through downloading some app or game on an sd card on a different phone and then putting the sd card in the gabb phone. Maybe you could download android software and transfer it to the phone. If you could run an android emulator that would be the best option.

how do you do that?

So, I have figured out how to access recovery mode. But you are not able to access the bootloader from there, although you can update from an sd card or adb debugging if u know-how.

PLEASE HELP ME I NEED TO KNOW MY DUDE

I found a file in android known as .nomedia it might have something to do with it.

You may be right, because The use of naming a file NOMEDIA is to keep the device from scanning that particular folder. Apps sometimes hide ads in that folder so they don't get deleted. So gabb may be hiding crucial files in that folder, although you will need an external app to manage NOMEDIA utilities. such as studiokuma.

I have noticed that when you hard reset your gabb phone it will show make you agree to the terms of service. if you click read terms of service it will take you to a the ZTE page, but upon closer inspection it is in a web browser, where you can acces youtube, instagram, etc.. BUTTTT you cannot login to your google play account because the keyboard is disabled.

Just wondering if anyone has made progress on this? I have tried almost everything at this point
Tried unlocking bootloader from fastboot (I get `Unlock failed` errors on the device side. Something about it be not allowed?)
Right now my goal is to get USB debugging enabled and go from there
I have basically tapped every setting at least 100 times and still no debug mode

You all are going to laugh at me but I contacted Gabb claiming my son (me) has figured out how to download apps onto the Gabb phone and the assistant lady was all supprised and was like can you send me a picture and so I was like my son is not letting me. Anyways she said she was going to escalate it with her supervisor so like that I know how to do it. Once I know how you all will be the second peoples to know!

I am currently stuck around this part as well. I was able to reboot into recovery mode by holding the power and volume up button till the screen starts up. I attempted using adb debugging's install command (can be found here), but I ran into a "server client error", notifying me that the server client versions don't match up. I have no idea what that means. I will need to do some further research, but this is what I have so far to contribute to our "noble" cause.
P.S. I forgot to take screenshots of the errors (my bad), but I'll do some research on adb then try again and share the errors (hopefully no errors).

Did you get it into proper ADB mode or just ADB sideload mode?
I have a stock FW image that I could maybe patch to have USB debugging enabled
Only issue is I can't flash it because the bootloader is locked

Hi,
The .nomeadia file is a config file that allows you to hide/show gallery albums. It in no way is connected to the topic.
Cheers!

How did you get the "Unlock failed" error?
The only options are:
1. Reboot System Now
2. Enter Recovery
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. Power off

I put together a diagram image showing how the file structure for how to take the various update.zip files to flash your rom or add functionality not obtainable via apk files or market. It was suggested we have a faq using this image to describe this process. I have only done this 3 times so I hope this is correct!
The basic thing it needs to explain is:
1. how to load up the filesystem with the update zip file and command file
Here is a diagram that shows either of the 2 methods to make this work, you can download zip files from Viewsonic's TNT page and just rename them to update.zip (then you have to create the recovery folder and command file), or you can download files here, some are rar'd which means the actual zip has been zipped/rar'd again, just extract it out, and if there are no recovery/command, you have to create them. A trick I use is to have this structure already defined on my laptop as a staging area, then I can just copy over a zip and a folder over to my device or sdcard.
I personally don't know how all this works, I believe the device first looks to the microSD card first for the recovery command file, then over to the internal storage for the same, but I could be wrong.
NOTE 1: Just make sure that if you use the external sd card, you have the correct command file notation (SDCARD2 not SDCARD).
NOTE 2: There are TWO dashes at the start of the command file contents, the image doesn't show it well (--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip) or (--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip)
NOTE 3: This command file has NO file suffix, it is a text file, but make sure it is named command
NOTE 4: After a recovery is invoked, the process will have removed your command file (whether it was successful or not), and you will have to replace it when you are ready to flash again. A trick you might like is to copy the command file to command.bak, and each time you want to flash, just copy the bak file to command so you don't have to upload it each time. It is safest just to recopy the update.zip and command files back into their respective places each time you plan on reattempting recovery, just to make sure both files have the appropriate content.

}
2. how to boot into recovery
Power down the unit. Once it has gone blank, press and hold the Vol +, then press and hold the power button
3. how do you know recovery is booting up (Text at the top of the screen)
You should see tiny text in the upper left that says "Detect a Recovery Key Pressed", and then a 2nd line that reads "Recovery Image Detected", or something to that effect.
4. how do you know recovery did not see either the update.zip or command file or both (exclamation mark, plus no changes after reboot)
I have not personally hit this yet, but if you don't see a cardboard box logo in the middle of your screen with a progress bar at this point, chances are you have something incorrect. If you don't see any changes or see an exclamation point, then you don't have the filesystem exactly as described in the diagram in #1. Or your update.zip file isn't really the proper file, maybe you took a RAR file and just renamed it, etc. If you open the zip file, you should not see any zip files, but IMG files or BIN files or SYSTEM folders, etc.
Now, if you identify the issue and resolve it and are about to run another recovery cycle, take a look at #1 NOTE #4 above...
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, this will be a time saver for us devs. A great reference for getting clockwork installed, or for people who don't want to use clockwork.

Stuck because it's worth it

Yeah, thanks.. Might keep me from answering the same question 52 bazillion times.....

you should add a note that the command file will be deleted after it has been run, regardless if the update occurred or not - always double check that the (correct) command file is there or you will get the exclamation point

Good point, I will add it. What folks could do (I have done this) is to make a file called command.bak, and you can just copy that to command every time you want to flash.

Or just install Clockwork 0.8 and be done with the recovery folder/command file all together.

I understand and also know that some people like driving without tires too. Doing an update via OTA is way overrated. All I am saying is the benefits that can be gained by installing clockwork outweigh the negatives of not.
As soon as the OTA update comes out someone here will have the download location in seconds. That download can be installed from clockwork just like any other update file. Why Viewsonic doesn't just supply the file on there site is beyond me.
So... not running clockwork so you can wait for an update that comes every other month, or maybe never again versus having the security of easy to perform backups, the ability to easily install updates, fix the inevitable boot loop, mount storage, etc just doesn't make sense to me...

having a choice is better than not having a choice

I keep a complete library of files on a separate storage, and I only copy over what I want on the tablet. Just because you may like cwm,doesn't mean everybody does or will. This works just fine for me, and I am sticking with the stock OS until viewsonic stops supporting it, which means I wait for the ota updates.

And like the post above says.. Choice is good. If what you are doing works for you that's great.
It is not so much whether I like, or dislike clockwork. It is just a tool. For someone that buys a tablet, has no intention of doing anything but using it as it came, no clockwork is fine. But for those that want to keep the stock firmware but play around and add all the little updates, fixes, apps, or even play with all the other roms then I think you do yourself a disservice by not using clockwork. One of those things you do to your tablet will eventually end up in a bootloop. Or something you installed will not work and you will want to revert back to what you had before. You can't fix that with the stock recovery, but you can do it with clockwork.
Not trying to start an argument. I just see many advantages to using it versus not.
I think a lot of people don't want to use it because they are afraid of breaking there tablet. Installing a lot of different things available here, and other places is much more scary... And without a viable backup, or recovery method can be a real pain to fix.
Wanting to keep your tablet stock is fine. But if you bought a car that came stock with no brakes, I guess you could drive it. But if there was a really simple method to add brakes to augment your feet wouldn't you want them? Maybe not.. But I do...
I am glad you took the time to write this guide. Even though it is listed all over these forums how to do what you wrote it seems people don't read much anymore. So hopefully it will help some folks...

I've only used the latest version, but have noticed a behavior not covered here:
rather than deleting the /recovery/command file, it deletes the contents of the file. This seems to happen whether or not the update actually happens.

I can't remember on whether or not it happens when it doesn't actually run the update. However, it has always deleted the command file for me.

upgrade Malata Zpad to Gtab
Thank you for your instruction.
Now, I can upgrade Malata Zpad to Gtab (gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip).
And it's work find.

I've searched everywhere and can't find anything on the sprint SPH-P500.
Does anyone know of any guides out there? I don't want to risk bricking it with a root from another model number. Thanks for all your hard work guys.much appreciated!

Do you have your stock rom? If you do, try rom for GT-5100 but you will not have 4G capability...
And if it don't work, you go in download mode and then restore your old stock rom thank to odin!

I guess everyone has forgotten about our tablet
I've never done anything on the coding side. But if someone could give me some guidance, I'd be willing to attempt to port some of the greatness that all of the other tablets are getting.

Its a great undertaking. I do website development and have linux experience and would rater not touch rom development. I have been interested though.
As far as the gt builds, i can give that a try. I dont have 4g in my area anyways,. Ill just have to become comfortable with odin before i do anything. Thanks!

Has there been any update on this? Looked around and doesn't look like there is even a developer working on it.
I can't even find the stock firmware for the SPH-P500.05 to download. I'm about to see if a sprint store will give me the file so I can start experimenting. If someone has a link to the stock firmware for this device it would be great. Maybe I'll get my hands dirty and make a few attempts and maybe get a guide going.

I understand that CVE-2013-2094 has been ported to work (escalate to r00t) on Android devices. I don't know if this model has "performance events" turned on but, if so, could this be an opportunity to get # on our tablets?
Also, I have a way to kick off processes as system. Could that help us?

I need to subscribe to this thread. Sorry about the delay. I have been playing with the idea of flashing the GT-5100 firmware, but there is no way back to stock if things go bad. I think I'm going to be more proactive and talk with the local Sprint store to see if I can get that firmware / bin from them. The fact that the development community for this device is so dead is a bit eerie.

I can also confirm cydia impactor works and is really as easy as downloading to pc run impactor hit startband it installsnsuper su right to the root of the tablet after that I have been able to successfully install (titanium, busybox, , link2sd, rom manager) and they all have root access
I have also been able to download mobile terminal and at $ prompt put in (su) and # should show letting you know you now have root access
after that I have also been able to change the default storage to ext2 by using. pm set-install-location 2, from # prompt and using link2sd to move apps 2 extsdcard for those of you that have an 8 gigger like I do I hope this helps im still alittle new to android

Any custom roms found for this tablet? I googled and I could only find rooting method but no custom roms (e.g. kitkat) for this tablet. Can the P5100 ones be used instead? I don't need the 4G service.

cydia impactor isnt recognizing the device. usb drivers fully installed and all that... kinda weird
nevermind. it worked!!! now i just need to install recovery and find a darn ROM LoL

I just received my Sprint SPH-500, and wouldn't have known it's a nonstandard Galaxy Tab 2 variant without this thread. I rooted mine with Towelroot, so I still have a locked bootloader, but full root access. AFAIK, my flash counter hasn't been triggered.

Here;s a screen capture of my downloading screen. It shows I haven't done a custom binary download (what triggers the flash counter), and I'm not running a custom binary, as I'm running the Samsung Official binary. But it does show my system status is custom..

I should have progress to report on moving apps to my external sdcard and second partition soon.

After experimenting with Link2SD for more than a week, I gave up on it. It's just too unstable to be a daily driver. I only have the 8 GB model, and run several large data astronomy and birding apps, They left me with 800 MB free RAM on my internal SD storage, and I still had other apps to install.
Link2SD put apks, Dalvik-cache, and lib files on the second partition of my external SDCard, but lost the links a reboot or two later. It claimed to move 1.8 GB of files, but showed 14 GB of RAM used on my second partition. It lost user and system apps that were linked, unlinked, and lost, for instance, the Google Play Store Services.
I ended up using a symlinking app called Foldermount, similar to the old (unsupported) Directory Bind app. It stores data folders on my external SDCard, and symlinks them so my astronomy and birding apps think they're still stored on the internal SDCard. I've got all my apps installed, and still have nearly 3 GB internal SDCard RAM free.

READ "The rules" IN THE OP​
This method of root was exploited by djrbliss. Please visit the original thread and thank him by any means you see fit.
This is not done through download mode or recovery, so don't worry about any button combos. The phone just needs to powered on and running the way you would normally use it.
First things first. You should begin downloading the files you'll need later on.

Begin installing the Samsung USB Drivers.
It can appear that the installer program isn't doing anything for a while so just be patient.
When the motochopper.zip file finishes downloading
right-click on it and select Extract All...
I usually just leave it at the default location and click Extract
It should finish this fairly quickly. When it does finish, open the motochopper folder in the resulting window. You can now ignore this window until you need it later.
For the sake of efficient use of time, while the drivers are being installed and motochopper.zip is being extracted, you should turn your attention to the phone itself. It needs to be prepared for being connected to your computer for the first time.
USB debugging within Developer options needs to be enabled to use this exploit. There are some that would say that if you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't be in the development forums. To them I say, "Everyone had to learn from somewhere. WHY NOT HERE??" :laugh:
To enable Developer options, open Settings and click on the "More" tab, then "About device". Mine shows where Developer options will be after doing this.
Near the bottom is an entry called "Build number", click on it repeatedly (7 times) until a toast pops up telling you that developer mode is on.
Press the back softkey and click on "Developer options". If you don't see it, you didn't click the "Build number" enough times.
DO NOT CHANGE ANY ENTRIES IN THIS SECTION WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY DO FIRST!!​
Click on USB debugging
click OK on the "Allow USB debugging" window that pops up.
When the Samsung USB Drivers are finished installing, connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Windows Update should start looking for software for your phone immediately as indicated by the popup window that appears at the bottom-right of your screen when you have your phone connected to the computer. You can click on this window to watch it's progress, or simply wait for the next one telling you that your device is ready to use.
After you see this dialog, go back to the folder that opened when you extracted motochopper.zip and double-click on the file named run.bat
and click Run on the dialog window that pops up.
when the command line window appears, press enter to begin rooting your phone.
A dialog window will appear on your phone asking you for permission to let ADB execute commands. Click OK.
when the rooting process finishes, press enter to reboot the phone and close the command line window.
**YOUR PHONE IS NOW ROOTED AND YOU CAN USE APPS THAT REQUIRE ROOT**​

Agreed - except for "enabling Developer options and USB Debugging" which I thought might be good in the OP of the "real" thread (and frankly is not called out well in this OP), this doesn't seem to add anything.

No need to clutter the Development thread with guides, thats what General is for. I'm sure this will help someone but its still in the wrong section unless you have a kernel or rom to post.

Thread moved, post in accordance with XDA rules, thanks and enjoy the new phone.

I posted it here because this is where people trying to root their phone will look. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. It makes the 6+ hours I spent on it all worth it, even after none of my screenshots showed for some reason.

Good evening,
I have been trying to room my AT&T i337 for 3 days now and have failed every time. I have enabled developer but NEVER get the popup on my phone to approve ADB connection. The motochopper script fails each time. Is there something I am missing? This is getting to be a problem because I need to be able to run WIFI Tether for work.... Help!

Are you using a new or known good cable? Try re downlooading the zip.
Make sure you extracted the zip. Remove and reinstall device drivers.
Have you tried foxfi in the playstore?
I'm not rooted and it works for me?

Thank you for the fast response. I am using the USB that came with the phone. I have tried multiple USB ports on my computer and have gotten the Motochopper file from 3 different locations. I have downloaded the USB driver from Samsung twice and installed. I even tried 2 different computers. I am at wits end....
I wrote Foxfi to see if this phone is compatible and hope they respond shortly.
Thanks,
Fred

Fixed missing ADB connection
Wow, I seemed to have fixed the problem myself by chance. I executed the adb.exe file in the Motochopper folder as a stand alone (a few times in fact) and the next time I connected my phone I got the pop-up to accept and was able to root it! In all the posts I have read, not once has anyone mentioned this. Wow, rooted at last! Thanks! :laugh:

In the attempts before that, did the command line window even open when you tried to run the batch file?

Something that neither root guide mentions in the OP is that you might also need to disable "Verify apps via USB." It was disabled the first time I rooted, but it was enabled after I did a factory reset and rooted again. If root is failing, see if that option is checked and uncheck it if it is.
Can't attach or post a link, yet, or I'd include a an actual link to a screenshot. URL here: i.imgur.com/Ord8xxj.png

- Makes Requests!!!
FAQs
Q - Why Did you make this?
A - To make life easier
Q - You are limited on features. Why?
A- You can always make a request!
Q - Will this work on other devices?
A - Only the fastboot commands, HTC Dev unlock (device specific) and the HTC drivers. Toolkit is made for the specific device.
Q - Will you support more devices in the future?
A - If people REALLY want, I can make it happen. I just don't want to make anything that nobody would use.
Q - Awesome! Can I make a donation?
A - Of course! Do not feel obligated though. If you would like to make a donation, you can click the button on my toolkit or under my username.

This is my first time supporting a non-HTC device. This should work perfectly fine, but let me know. I never owned a Nexus and I will do my best to make this compatible!

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

I'll give this a shot since the other Guide isn't working for me.
Edit: Yeah I cannot, no matter what I try, get my Nexus 7 drivers installed correctly. Odd.

Go to control panel -> Device Manager. Find your Nexus 7. Right click it and press uninstall drivers and delete the drivers with it (it will give you the option to delete them). Then, on top of device manager, press scan for hardware changes and it will find it and install the correct drivers.

Nah, done that. I've uninstalled, restarted, installed the universal abd. It still doesn't see my Nexus 7 when I go to use your toolkit. At this point it installs fine, I have ABD interface in my device list, but it cannot be seen by the scripts.
No idea why. I'm gonna delete all the abd/toolkit stuff and start over.
What's really great about it is even when Windows fails to install any drivers and I point it to the correct ones it still fails and says it cant find the drivers, lol.
Something isn't right, especially since I've done this with about a dozen nexus devices on this computer.

Trying to help you out. I never had a Nexus so at least I can learn it as well. Uninstall the drivers. Download the Google Drivers from here.
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
Point the device from Device Manager to that. Hopefully it works. If it doesn't, just manually boot into bootloader and run the unlock bootloader command.

Yep, already tried using those.
Hmm, idk. Maybe I'll just say fug it and install windows 8, lol.
\/\/\/\No dice on that even, DroidIt!.

Took me awhile to figure it out but what worked for me was plug in nexus in booted up state, open device manager, hit update drivers (not uninstall), hit browse for drivers, navigate to where you have your adb/fastboot folder at and point it to there. Sorry at work and can't remember the folder it's in off the top of my head, but in adb/fastboot folder the one you want to pick is i386. That worked for me.

While I find this tool to be overkill since the N7 is fairly easy to root, I can say from past experience that it was invaluable in getting my Droid DNA rooted; especially if you aren't too familiar with command prompt adb commands.

Alright! Got it all working. No idea what made it work. I basically kept installing/uninstalling with restarts in between, switched USB ports a few times, uninstalled some other stuff, restarted, and somehow it worked. Idk, I'll chalk it up to windows 7 driver management being absolute ****.
I wound up having to use the other tool to install TWRP. Apparently your ADB server is out of date? I replaced your /data/adb.exe with a newer one, worked fine after that.
Got my bootloader unlocked, recovery flashed, and it's rooted.
Thanks!

I did all the steps to root but I can't get pass the boot screen, can someone help?

If you didn't flash a custom ROM yet, go back into recovery and do a factory reset. Should boot up then.

I was able to gain access to Zebra's firmware (access privileges have been revoked temporarily....I hope) downloads and am here to share it with anyone who needs it. Feel free to share the link or mirror as you see fit. It's my personal dropbox so if too much traffic happens I'll upload elsewhere. Though my upload speeds are crap as I'm stuck with DSL where I'm at, so please be patient as the files take time to get there and at the time of this post the files I already have are still uploading with about 4 hours left. Also, the files aren't organized an any way shape or form, so cross reference the version your device is on with the Zebra website to confirm which file you are supposed to use. The manual is free to download from their website. USE IT!
If Windows OS files are needed or files for the TC75 or any other Zebra firmware/reset files are needed, feel free to PM me with the file name needed and for which device. I've been given access to the entire download section so take advantage of it and turn that paperweight into something useful!!

I'm not responsible for anyone who doesn't read the manual as described above and bricks their device due to lack of common sense and basic knowledge of the Windows/Android OS mechanics. I gave you the files but my responsibility ends there.

I apologize to all the members that have emailed me trying to find out about getting firmware files for their device. I have been out of the country and unable to keep this thread updated due to job restraints. In trying to gain access it appears that Zebra has began limiting access to their firmware files so as of right now I am unable to get access to their file server and retrieve anymore than what is already in my dropbox. I will leave that link up and anyone is free to mirror these files.
I will continue my attempts to gain access to the files everyone wants but I may have to use more unconventional methods to accomplish this and may not be worth it in the end. Sorry. Keep your fingers crossed...
Or better yet shoot an email to Zebra's support department, feed em some b.s. story about you needing to reset and update the firmware on the device you have because you bought it from ebay (*wink,wink*). They may ask for device specifics like serial numbers or something but sometimes if you wait it out, the approval may get pushed through to close the support ticket. Just don't give up on the first attempt. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

do you have the Factory Reset zip? not just the enterprise wipe?

Has anybody else had any luck with locating these files? There are so many different ones with many different names for many different models. I have the TC700H and I flashed it with one of the ZIP files from the dropbox folder, works fine except wifi will not turn on.

T70N0KXXARUEF01903.zip is the specific file I need

For those unable to download the files trough Dropbox and failing,
I have copied the files to Mega, so if you like, You can also get them from there.
I only need an email to send the link to?
Or if anyone knows how to make an Public folder there, Please let me know.

Looking at the 10 points on the back top left most is negative, two over to the right is positive. These ten points are also perfectly spaced for headers if your handy at soldering. Or can cut the end of a usb cable. Just be careful not to touch other points as bad things can happen.

TC75
oI've reset some mc40s, tc70s and 51s without problems by placing said files onto the sd card. I also gained root on them except for tc51, i haven't tried yet.
I have now a tc75 that is unable to mount the external sd card in order to reset. It sees the storage is there in recovery but is not mounted. This is what is says in the manual: : "There is a Mandatory patch (T75NOLxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip) to be applied along with this OS which is required to update any package from an External SD card from MDM
only."
How to get around this? The only way to do this is through usb connection and placing the files onto the internal storage? I dont have a cable or cradle. And for everyone here who is also without this expensive usb cable, I think its plausible to make one since these units have the pinout connections right on the exterior, if anyone wants to figure it out, shouldn't be hard. They are locking down external storage access making it harder if you dont have a cable.

Factory cable might be the same as the Motorola factory cable. Without looking it up, I think the the 5v line is split into two going to the original pin and either the green or yellow wire pin with a 1k ohm resistor (don't quote me on that). Again I'm just assuming it would be like Motorola's since i thought they bought out Zebra/Symbol. Hence the restructured firmware support.

I'm getting a page error 404 not found when selecting download on zebra site. Only happens on AOSP builds. I don't get the error for downloading gms builds. Anyone experience this?

I'm trying to get around FRP lock tc51 by switching from gms build to aosp since email setup is not required for AOSP builds . Anyone know another way to bypass frp on marshmallow tc51 ?
The 404 page error gets me thinking they are blocking? What tf is going on?!
