This is how you get the factory reset downloads easily.

I have the zebra tc510k, I did not see on here if anybody had ever got the files or if they found a way to factory reset this. I can see that while using a desktop version of zebras website you are not able to just download the files for factory reset however i visited it later on a mobile device and was able to download these files onto an SD card.

When you get the files on the SD card go ahead and remove the battery, make sure its atleast 30% charged otherwise it will not let you update in recovery mode.

Insert SD card and battery

boot into recovery mode (on my tc510k, its holding both the ptt button and the power button until logo pops up)

then select update from SD card.

Choose the factory reset option that you downloaded and put on the SD card.

The factory reset only takes a minute or two and after you have it set up you can go to zebras website and download the latest update that is compatible with your device now that you are able to navigate through settings and see your build number and software version etc.

(Remember I got the files off of the MOBILE site where it did not have the little lock icon.)

Let me know if a video or something could be more helpful i hope this helps. Btw I am very new to this so I do not know how to attach files to this. its on zebras website and you might have to visit the site using a phone to download the file. once i got the file downloaded i just saved it to my google drive and then downloaded it to my computer from google drive then moved it onto the SD card

Finally found reset files for this thing, in case anyone needs, they're attached.
Copy both to micro SD
Boot to recovery (power+PTT button, which is top button on left side of TC51, release power when logo appears, then release PTT button after couple seconds).
Choose upgrade from SD card
Select one of the files then flash,
Select the other, then flash
Your device should be wiped from any pins or passwords least mine was..
Good luck
I'm looking to unlock a TC56.
Can you help me with this files please?
Someone have the files for the reset factory of tc56?

Nope sorry.. did you check the manufacturers site? That's where I found ones I posted, their site is pretty thorough, I'd be surprised if it wasn't there. Otherwise a Google search always good, that's what lead me to their site.

My Tc51 won't recognize my sd
error unmounted sd card
please help!!!!
Try another SD card, make sure its formatted fat32, if not reformat the one you have and try again. If that don't work and you can't get another sdcard any other way, you can send it to me along with a prepaid label and I'll send it back

Here ya go seems to be different files to reset depending on you being on Oreo or 10, so choose wisely.
Follow instructions in this thread to flash them.
Good luck
