To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

You need to reupload the firmware then a codeplug to get past the passcode.
Ask the person you bought it from what the passcode is - is they can't offer it, it's possible the radio was stolen

The XPR7550e is not a Professional series radio. You'll need MotoTRBO firmware.
Right, I mispoke. I mean I installed MOTOTRBO_NA_2.0_R0210100001_150513_Portable... Well well Motorola doesn't let me order the Codeplug password reset service myself. So it looks like I am stuck. Have to go to a dealer to get this fixed.
and pay $$$$.

Unless you know how to fix it of course, but in this case, pretty worthless to the OP...
It absolutely amazes me how many people sell radios with a password, it's absolute fraud. However I'm pretty sure most of the time the seller has no clue what their selling, they don't understand that just posting photos of the item doesn't tell you much.
It's similar to the morons who try to sell Harris OpenSky 7/800 radios for hundreds of dollars, without option 39. They also have zero idea what they are selling. If a seller can't send you screenshots of the radio in service/maintenance mode then run far away.
I don't want to hear the lame excuses about allegedly not having a power supply, unless it's a very trusted seller I would insist on seeing screenshots of the radio powered up in service mode.
Also I will usually specifically ask sellers to confirm no password or ASK before buying, and then put that in the notes in my PayPal transaction. If you get any hints that they don't know, run far away!!

Always buy the SELLER not the item, especially when it comes to the wild, wild west known as Ebay.

Are you only interested in the 7550e radio?The seller has accepted my eBay return request. So I will be out the return shipping fee.
Great lesson learned.
You can actually drop a blank codeplug from the same model as found in the sample codeplugs if its a read only Password... i had to do that on some rental radios that were sent to us from a dealer they should have been cleared by the previous renter...
I am interesting in the learning about the MOTOTRBO family too. Just got two XPR 6350, and are playing with them. These came unlocked.
Tried that already. This radio has a read and write codeplug password that prevents it from being recovered or cloned.
1st gen TRBO gear is fun to play with and an excellent way to learn how everything works without too many hiccups providing that you pay attention to get radios with the digital firmware preinstalled.
