In 2017, Hurricane Maria, a category-5 storm, severely impacted Puerto Rico, demolishing homes and communication infrastructure. To address this issue, the ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was developed in 2018. It utilizes battery-powered Internet-of-Things devices to reestablish essential communication during emergencies, allowing civilians to request assistance, share their locations, and receive vital information from local governments and responders.
The ClusterDuck Protocol runs on a variety of IoT hardware, including many ESP32 Arduinos.
Here is a list of hardware we use, though there may be many others that work. We recommend the Heltec LoRa ESP32 and the TTGO T-Beam ESP32.
For a simple network you will want to make at least two Ducks. For bigger networks you will need more.
To start developing, you will need PlatformIO on your computer.
Download or git clone the CDP library from GitHub.
Follow the installation instructions here
Please Note: With the Release of the ClusterDuck Protocol Version 4 we have different instructions. If you are looking for older instructions please go here
Connect your board to platform IO
Follow the these updates instructions for loading up a Duck to get one running.
Use the pre-built examples or develop custom Ducks of your own.

Most Qualcomm-based Motorola tools follow a similar process to bypass the Google account verification:
: The tool will inject an exploit or clear the FRP partition. Once finished, the phone will restart, allowing you to "Skip" the Google account setup. Alternative Methods: No PC Required
: A popular consumer-friendly tool that provides a straightforward interface for removing Google FRP locks across various brands, including Motorola. You can find more details on the iToolab UnlockGo page . How to Use Qualcomm CPU FRP Unlockers download motorola qualcomm cpu frp unlocker top
: Download the tool of your choice and install the necessary Motorola USB drivers on your PC to ensure the computer recognizes your device.
: Some newer security patches can be bypassed by loading specific files onto an SD card to trigger a bypass menu. Most Qualcomm-based Motorola tools follow a similar process
: On some models, using the emergency dialer to access Google Maps and then navigating to the device settings to disable "Google Play Services" can bypass the lock. YouTube·RootJunky
If you don't have access to a computer, some "No PC" methods for Android 14 and 15 have been discovered: You can find more details on the iToolab UnlockGo page
: Connect your phone to the PC via USB. Launch the software, select your specific Motorola model, and click the "Reset FRP" or "Unlock" button.
: Put your device into Factory Mode or EDL (Emergency Download) Mode . For many Motorola phones, this is done by holding the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.
: A widely used professional tool that recently added support for resetting FRP on various Motorola models. It is frequently updated to support the latest security patches. You can download the latest version from the Octoplus website .
