Hello, I was wondering where I might be able to obtain an installer for a Zebra TC52 running Android 8.1 for your MobiControl Stage product? I have used your product for some time provisioning our legacy Windows Mobile devices and was curious if it existed in the same form for Android. I usually install this via USB for Windows Mobile via .cab

Hello,

You can use "StageNow" available in https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/utilities/stagenow.HTML

It's really useful.

Bye.

So SOTI has not developed a staging application for Android devices? I have Stage Now on the device however I find the interface to be clunky. Do you have any SOTI specific instructions for using Stage Now?

With Android O and higher you will need to use Android Enterprise. If you're using the devices in a Device Owner (COSU) use case then you will have to enroll the devices from a factory default state through the Google Setup Wizard OR via Zebra StageNow. StageNow might seem clunky but it is the ONLY non-Google SUW based method to enroll devices as DO into ANY EMM, not just SOTI. This is a product of Google pushing Android management toward Android Enterprise and is not a problem caused by Zebra or SOTI (although they are both complicit).

If you follow the MDM Wizard in StageNow it will literally walk you through the process:

Did the StageNow method work for you?

We are currently working on setting up a new MobiControl instance before we can proceed with getting this Android device on our network, we are currently on MobiControl v13.0.0 and need to be at least at version 13.4. I did succeed in creating a profile on StageNow however, it is to be seen if it works as expected.
