tablet is screwed, and i am an idiot

A long time ago after i first rooted i decided to remove all the bloat and unnecessary things that came pre-installed, one of the things i deleted back then was the google first time setup and initiation things along with a few other things, this made sense at the time because i had already configured and setup the device so deleting something i wouldn't need again made sense to me. however much more recently i had forgot about what i had deleted back then and i kinda wanted a fresh new start with the tablet so i decided to factory reset it from the settings. that was the biggest mistake ever, so after resetting it when i try to boot it up it simply shows the rca logo with the dogs and then the little rca logo flashing over and over again forever unless i boot it up again. so it just gets stuck there with the small rca logo is flashing so i suspect the tablet is searching for those initiation files. I am so stupid, is there anyway at all i can fix this perhaps i can somehow download what i need from the computer any help at all would be greatly appreciated. the tablet still boots it just cannot go any further than that.
[General Questions and Answers] Inari-IX:
What about recovery mode? Or the reset button on the back?
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
tablet is screwed, and i am an idiot

reset button just turns off the screen only, and recovery mode just shows the android lying on his back with a warning sign, but just to make sure can you tell me how to get to recovery mode
[General Questions and Answers] Inari-IX:
I think it was the volume up button and power.
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
tablet is screwed, and i am an idiot

yeah, the "recovery" mode just shows the android lying on its back with its stomach open and a red exclamation triangle.
[General Questions and Answers] Inari-IX:
In other words, they intended this to be an expensive piece of trash if anything went wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
In recovery mode, if you hit one of the volume buttons (not sure which one) it brings up the recovery menu.

Edit: Just checked, and its the volume up button that brings up the menu, and also dismisses it. So on the main menu, the up button doesn't make the selection go up to the one above. Once you go down, you can't go up. But once you're into a menu, the volume up button works as it normally should.
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
tablet is screwed, and i am an idiot

there is no menu for mine, when you get into recovery mode all it does is show this: http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/android-recovery-mode1.jpg nothing else and nothing more no matter what i click
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
Weird.

Here's proof that it works on mine. I've got the RCT6378W2, and I have the 1.0.2 update, but not the 1.0.6 one.
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
tablet is screwed, and i am an idiot

well thats really weird! i click the volume up and nothing happens! i also clicked a bunch of other button combinations but everything is unresponsive
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
Which tablet do you have?
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
yay system recovery!

nevermind! i was finally able to access the system recovery! however it didnt work the way you told me for me i had to just randomly click buttons for a good minute to access it. also i have the RCT6077W2. so now what do i do? like what do i "adb sideload" or whatever i need to do to fix this device.
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
If you can give me a list of the apps you downloaded, I should be able to help get you back up and running.

Also, do you have a computer? If so, what OS is it running?
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
yay

my computer is running windows 7 some more info on my pc here: http://puu.sh/6jh1u.png

app list from a while ago: http://puu.sh/6jgV0.jpg

thank you so much any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
I just needed to know what you deleted :p but I should be able to figure that out from comparing what you have installed to what I have. I'll figure it out tomorrow. I'm gonna have to get familiar with the adb process on windows since I'm on Linux and the commands might be different. But we are gonna have to adb push the apk files you need onto your device, which is gonna take the command prompt. You should only have to copy and paste commands though. :D

root rca 7 tablet

Hey guys I also have the same tablet and I was wondering if you have found a way to root this tablet no computer if or if not olz reply fast thank you
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
root

you can only root it if you have a computer

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

oh ok, thanks! it would be cool if reinstall the files we really need though, i don't want like vudu or walmart apps as bloatware. again thank you so much for helping me! I wonder if we could add even more to the device, like i think i have android 4.4 on the sdk would it be possible to update to 4.4 or at least add some cool features i didn't have before.
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
No problem :p and we are only gonna push the apps you need. Definitely the initial setup app and any other ones that are vital, nothing more. ESPECIALLY not bloat, ain't nobody got the need for that.

And as far as kit kat or new features, that won't be easily possible until some of these guys here can get a custom recovery, IF they can. This tablet seems to really REALLY not like CWM or TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] stellurface:
thank you/kingo

OK thank you. Do you think any of you guys could make a video on how to root with kkingo that would be nice thank you
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
kingo

that really wouldn't be necessary, using kingo root app is very simple just follow the on screen instructions after downloading.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

great! again thank you so much! dang i wish there was someway we could the source code or a custom recovery for this device. Tell me the instructions to getting the initial setup app and any other ones that are vital whenever you can, again i am very thankful.
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
Okay, here is gonna be where I'm gonna either be able to help you get your tablet working or not. I just hit a brick wall, but if you can do this and it works, i will know exactly how to help you. We just need to see if you can get ADB access to your tablet while in recovery mode. For some reason, my tablet isn't showing up under ADB devices, and I know I have everything configured right and it's not ADB messing up because my phone will show up under devices, even when it's in recovery mode.

ANYWAYS, follow this guide and tell me if you can get ADB access to your tablet while it's in recovery mode:

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/

IF, on the last step where you enter the 'adb devices' command, your device gets listed, then we will be able to push the files you need and hopefully get your tablet back up and running. IF your tablet does what mine is doing and wont show up at all under adb devices, then, well, i have no idea. I wont be able to help you and you'll have to wait to see if a working CWM or TWRP gets put together and flash a system recovery that I can give you or a custom ROM.

Someone else might be able to help if I can't, but this is the extent of my knowledge.
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
thanks! :)

yeah its all working it says 123456789ABCDEF host as my device so what should i push or "adb sideload"
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
AWESOME :D

okay, here we go..

1. download the attachments and take note of where they are.

2. in the terminal,type these commands one at a time, but replace the "\Blah\Blah\Blah\" with the actual directory that the files i gave you are in:

adb root

adb push C:\Blah\Blah\Blah\OneTimeInitializer.apk /system/app

adb push C:\Blah\Blah\Blah\SetupWizard.apk /system/app

adb reboot

3. let me know if it works. I've got my fingers crossed hoping it does :p
[General Questions and Answers] rndmboyz3:
:(

when i type adb root it says error: closed, and also after rebooting again (in order for it to try and fix the error: closed it doesnt show the device anymore! maybe now i might even have the same problem as you.

rooting help

maybe since you didnt have any drivers, get drivers by downloading pdanet or by following these instructions http://ryancuda.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-to-get-working-adb-drivers-for.html

if it still doesnt work try using cydiaimpactor instead of kingo
[General Questions and Answers] TotesMyGoats:
Try to get it to show up on adb again. Like, keep booting into recovery and see if you can get it to show again. If it does, try skipping the first command and see if that works.

rca tablet stuck at the dead android with red triangle

my little cousin handed me his rca tablet RCT6077W22 asking me to fix it. i agreed since i have some knowledge of rooting and such. i cant access the OS , so i do all the button combination get into the system recovery did the factory reset and nothing went back to the dead android again. I tried the recovery system from back up and the same result and says restore system failed. any ideas? thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] goofwear:
Are you talking about this.

Hold the power button for about 10 to 20 seconds and turn it off. Next press power for a few seconds and turn it on. make sure the battery is not dead. hope that works please let us know
[General Questions and Answers] CynicalOne:
I have 2 of these tablets (4 really, but more on that later). To get to recovery mode, power unit off then press both volume up and power for 3 seconds and release. RCA dog will show briefly then you'll get to recovery. Press volume up to get into the menu and then use up/down to scroll and power button to select. Data wipe/Factory reset should restore it to new.

The reason I have 4 tablets -- I bought 2 like everyone else at Walmart Black Friday. Tablets were great for a couple weeks and then one of the two would die really quick. From full charge to dead in less than an hour. The other was ok... at first. Then it started draining fast, too. After another week, the first was losing 1% charge every 5 seconds. But it would charge really fast too, and just turning it off then back on would give up to 30% 'charge' so I thought it might be software related. I came here, got it rooted and tried different battery apps. Nothing worked. Contacted RCA and of course they made me do a reset, check this, check that, but finally gave me a RMA# to return them. Tried returning to Walmart, but my 15 days were up on exchanges for electronics. Today, I was in Walmart and looked at the tablet selection and they had 6 of the RCA tablets in stock for.... $69. I bought 2 with the intentions of using today's receipt to return the other 2 as defective. Nothing dishonest as all 4 tablets are the same make and model and all were bought @ walmart. If the 2 I bought today go bad, I still have a RMA# for returns to RCA.

I've noticed something odd with the updates. The first 2 updated to 1.01, installed, rebooted and then found update 1.02 and 1.03 the same way. The 2 I got today were different. The first found update 1.03 and then 1.07, the 2nd found 1.02 and then 1.06 and both say they have the 'latest version'. Plus, on the 2nd I had skipped the initial setup to look at the battery stats first. When I did connect wifi, no update could be found. I had to do a factory reset to get it to find the updates... 1.02 then 1.06. Has anyone else found any updates after the initial ones?
[General Questions and Answers] marodri91:
yep that fella. and it keeps rebooting every couple of minutes and reverts back to the same image described.

I did all the steps and procedures mentioned in prior posts I just havent had any luck.

[General Questions and Answers] UberSlackr:
That's a shame. I'm sure these tablets would run much better with Android 4.4

They are great for kids to play with, being on $50, but nothing I would personally use...

Would also like to be able to move apps to the SD card; bought the kids 16GB mSD cards to go with the tablets

because I knew they would load 'em up with Games/Apps... but atm they are useless (other than the few movies on them.)

Maybe we can take up a collection for anyone willing to get a working Recovery + ROM (nilla Android 4.4)...

Could somebody give me some help. I rooted my tablet with the kingo app and now I lost adb on my tablet. Every time I put "adb devices" and press enter nothing comes up. Is there anything I can do to get back adb?
[General Questions and Answers] Taraku:
Its Alive !!

I managed to put the updates for 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 on a sd card, and started the boot recovery, selected [ apply update from external storage ], Selected the updates and installed them in the order 1.0.1, then 1.0.2, Rebooted the device and no more boot loop , everything started up fine and ran good. but root is gone so you will need to root the device again.

I would not recommend this if you are using a custom ROM, and or changed the recovery image on the device. I was still using the stock ROM with Root. What caused my boot loop is when i did a factory reset.

Here is the update files i used to fix my problem, www DOT dropbox DOT com/sh/tzt9uvdzr0gp7qq/ZjYQoIxD5j

Here is some updates on the rom, Its been removed from the device and now looking at a way to connect it, using USB or serial. I will keep you all up to date.

I have allot of things to get fixed at this time. and sorry for not responding quickly.

I loaded 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 and rebooted. It eventually went to the droid recovery screen, but never to the OS. Then tried 1.0.7. No luck. Even tried a factory reset.

rct6378w2 need some assistance...

hello...I just joined...and here is my sad tale I got this tablet for free to play with...it did not work...period.charging port was fried..so I went on ebay and bought a new motherboard installed it, worked, cool, then I wanted to root it, since jellybean wont allow me to put apps on my sd, got kingo, pdanet, google drivers. got it rooted...tried almost every app known to man to get my apps on my 64 gig sd, then I stumbled accros this website that told me that the answer to my problems was with the file vold.fstab...it described how to alter this file and swap the external for internal space... I foolishly altered the vold.fstab file to try to use my 64 gb external sd card for storage for apps...and now , after I restarted, it wont boot, I can connect via usb and the device shows up in adb mode and I have the drivers on my computer, I can also get to the recovery screen ( the one with the android on his back with chest open, but I cannot get it to recover, ive done the factory reset on it, the one that allows it to wipe and start over, but to no avail, any suggestions?i think I still have the original file of vol.fstab somewhere on the tablet, or even on the external sd card since I saved it before I altered it....but I don't know what to do now...im new to the android thing...so any advice would be very greatly appreciated.
