I too receive these errors. At first I thought it was because of the way I'm handling Apps2SD (Apps are installed on internal storage, but their data is on my SD Card), but doesn't appear to be the case. Device is rooted of course, and was doing it even when it wasn't.

Any luck with the build? I'm curious to see the git on CWM for these devices, but too scared to damage my own tablet. :silly:

If anyone would be willing to help on the recovery for the 6077w22 I'd be willing to post the dump like giveen did just let me know how or if you're pretty certain the one that's being built would flash on the 6077w22 I'd be willing to give it a try also if there is anyone with a stock nandroid of the w22 I'd really appreciate it if you could post it. I don't have a backup currently and I'm playing around with framework tweaks ATM thanks in advance and if there's anything at all I can do to help just let me know :) also I have gotten DSP manager working on here as well not sure how exactly I'll look back into it but its working great and has had no FC's as of yet
[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
The 6077w22 should be relatively similar to the RCT6378W2, I think the only difference being the amount of internal storage and single core vs dual core. But as for now, getting a working custom recovery on the 6378W2 is the first step. The "easy" method of porting CWM to this device is not working, so it's going to require a bit more hacking to figure out what needs to be done. The issue I've run into is that I can't get it to build against giveen's device tree, so until I dig into the code a bit more and figure out the problem/what is missing I am stuck.

How to move Need for Speed data to SD Card

My son got this RCT6378W2 tablet at the Black Friday deal at Walmart. He has installed quite a few apps and has maxed out his 8GB internal storage. I'm trying to figure out how to get some apps (and their data) to an external SD card so he can still add more apps.

I reset it to factory setting and started installing his games keeping track of the amount of Available Space left after each install. I've found one of the culprits: Need for Speed Most Wanted. Before installation, he had 4.77GB of free space, after install (and their 610MB initial download) there was only 2.83GB of space available yet. So it's taking up a whopping 2GB of that internal storage. He paid for this game, so he'd like to keep it. So Mom gets the job of trying to help. While I'm fairly computer literate, I am definitely a noob when it comes to Android.

So this is what I've done...

1) Installed SDK (& JDK on advice of http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48909297&postcount=93)

2) Enabled Developer Options & enabled USB Debugging

3) Using the modified Google USB driver got access to the device with adb

4) Use adb to change the install-location to 2.

However, I am still unable to get AppMgr III (or App2SD) to show the "Move to SD" option for any app. According to everything I've read, I've done all the steps necessary to allow apps to be installed on the SD card - but apparently not with this tablet. Newly installed apps are still going to the internal storage (even those that App2SD say can be installed on the SD card)

Do I actually have to root the tablet to be able to move apps (and their data) to the SD Card? Or is there a way I can just move the data? I would prefer not to root the tablet if possible (I'm probably already in over my head with what I've done).

Remember, I'm a noob (and over the hill too), so any specific instructions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Coleen

Could use an idiots guide!

I was wondering if you could please give more info on using the above command line to recover from a bad flash with the stock recovery.img file.
[General Questions and Answers] Androiduser11:
If you go into Settings/Apps/On Internal Storage you will find the amount of disk space NFS Most Wanted is taking up. On mine is about 1.81GB even though there was an update downloading about 596MB. Not sure how the amount added up to almost 2GB. You'll need to root your tablet in order to gain access to those applications that you are using i.e: App2SD. Someone has already mentioned that their tablet was rooted and were still getting low disk space warnings and i'm sure they were using either App2SD or Link2SD to transfer their downloaded Apps or Games onto the Micro SD Card instead of their Internal Storage. His post is number 115 on page 12 on this thread, if you want to get a better understanding of what he said. Anyhow, i've downloaded the Android SDK, but couldn't find the Google USB Drivers, so how did you find it? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] castalos:
Google USB drivers was an option under SDK - scroll down to the "Extras" section and it's there - check it to install.

[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
the device I mentioned /dev/block/mtdblock3 is the correct device for the recovery. using the unix command 'dd' to copy a recovery over THAT device is the only method I've found that allows you to boot into the recovery. I mentioned it because although the devices /dev/mtd/mtd3, /dev/mtd/mtdblock3 also point to the same partition, they access it in such a way as it is abstracted from having direct disk access. So long story short, whenever we DO get a working recovery.img for clockwork or twrp, that is where it must be flashed to.

You need to root in order to use apps2sd. Use this to root once you've set up the ADB. quick and painless, only takes a couple minutes.

Bootloop

Apps2sd does not move apps to external sd, it moves it to the internal sd instead.

Me being inpatient.... I tried to edit my vold.fstab to switch between the internal sd and external sd without having a custom recovery, my device is not on a bootloop. i can access the stock recovery but can't access adb to push the original vold.fstab. Is there a way to flash the stock ROM thru stock recovery or does anyone even have the stock ROM. any suggestions on how i can get out of bootloop?

push the recovery to your device. if you copy it to the internal NAND, it will be located at /data/media/recovery.img

then connect via adb shell and log in as root

adb shell
su

then flash the img

# dd if=/data/media/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtdblock3 bs=4096

then reboot into recovery

There is no fastboot for these tablets. Not all android devices support fastboot. In fact, my Nexus is the only device I've gotten my hands on so far that actually does. So much for standardization...

no need to Odin, a little Unix Fu will get the job don. 'man dd'
[General Questions and Answers] t12icky0:

[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
Apps2sd most certainly DOES move apps and their data to EXTERNAL SD card, as in the one that is not physically a part of your tablet. Internal SD is a virtual SD card that resides in flash memory and ONLY certain devices have it. My Nexus 4 has INTERNAL SD. The RCT6378W2 has INTERNAL NAND and EXTERNAL SD. There is a difference.

RCA tablet exploitation for n00bs?

Hi I am new here, I got this tablet for christmas and this forum has helped me so much already, because of you wonderful people I have successfully rooted. However after continuing reading I am a little confused on what exactly to do now, can someone please go over unlocking the bootloader, getting clockworkmod recovery or whatever else I need, flashing cyanogenmod for the RCA tablet and any other steps I might not know of? How can I help and where are we all in completely exploiting the RCA tablets? (RCT6077W2 in specific for me) can I get regular drivers instead of that annoying pdanet? would it be possible to flash other ROM's like AOKP and paranoid android or would those lack in support? what do I have to do w/ the android sdk? good resources like websites for more help and information? what apps,tweaks,launchers,root apps and exploits do you recommend with this device? how can we overclock and make the best out of this crappy device? any tips,cracks,modifications that make this device better? what to torrent? cool emulators? flashing kernals? etc. basically any and every useful utilization and exploitation for this tablet I know it is a lot of questions but any answers and help is really appreciated and It would also be really nice if someone made a nice n00b friendly guide on what to do.
[General Questions and Answers] N00b-un-2:
To answer your questions:

1) this device does not have a bootloader. At least not in the sense that we think of them on Android devices when you can boot into the bootloader.

2) there is no working custom recovery for this device yet (I am still working on it along with Giveen, albeit very slowly).

3) since no one has been able to even build a custom recovery yet, development for custom firmware is a LONG LONG LONG way off, as are

4) custom kernels capable of overclocking.

5) And last but not least, you can follow the instructions on my blog to get the drivers.

If you can't figure out how to install all of the prerequisites and set up your development environment in order have working ADB access to your device, to be frank you have wandered off the edge of the map and there be dragons here. You are probably in WAY over your head and you run the very real risk of bricking your new tablet.

Now... That being said, in all reality, without access to the source code from the manufacturer for things like a proper and complete device tree and kernel configs, it's extremely unlikely that we will EVER see any of these things because without the original source code to work from, we are left to reverse engineer the existing firmware which is a very time consuming and error prone process which ultimately will never result in anything close to the original purpose built software. Take the state of the open source Nvidia or ATI drivers available on Linux -- they can't even compare performancewise to the official drivers.

My advice is to forget about anything beyond root and be happy with the fact that your cheap android device is actually running a modern version of Android and has a good amount of RAM, decent graphics and a dual core CPU.

/RANT

PS: I am sorry but you spelled the word kernel 'K-E-R-N-A-L' and thusly incurred my wrath. That is a HUGE pet peeve of mine.

sorry for being such a retard, and I really appreciate your helpful explanation .Thank you so much for working on the custom recovery. so how do I stop being a n00b, like what programming languages should i learn? what steps should i take and what resources will help? from now on i will spell kernel correctly. I'll figure out how to ADB access i found a helpful guide online and since you really need the access to the source code from RCA i'll go ask them for it through email, i'm pretty sure they will say no but i just wanna try contributing somehow to this forum.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Here is my submission to the RCA customer support: "May you please provide access to the source code from the manufacturer for things like a proper and complete device tree and kernel configurations. I really need it, if you are unable to provide the source code for at least any of your tablets at all then would you please refer me to those who could provide me with the source code. Thank you" i will post any reply i get if i do indeed get one. the customer support email is support@1800customersupport.com i have sent them a question before and i learned that these tablets are not compatible w/ microsdhc cards only microsd cards.

how to root

step 1. install pdanet and follow the instructions to get the drivers: pdanet(DOT)co/a/ or use this method :ryancuda(DOT)blogspot(DOT)com/2013/12/how-to-get-working-adb-drivers-for(DOT)html method 2 is much harder but gives you true adb access

step 2. use kingo root app: kingoapp(DOT)com/android-root/download(DOT)htm install it and follow the directions and you should be rooted. it is very easy

that should be it if i can remember, so now you can use root apps and do tons of other stuff like flash roms etc. however as of right now for this device you can only get root apps and do the basics people here are working hard to get the custom recovery image and then we can get other cool stuff type a period everywhere there is a (DOT) i am a n00b too so i cant post links yet

[General Questions and Answers] Androiduser11:
This RCA Tablet can only use up to 32GB of Micro SD Card. So the only disadvantage between the Micro SD and Micro SDHC cards for this particular Tablet is the transfer speed difference. Not sure if the Micro SDHC cards come in any size bigger than the 64GB that i managed to find on the net. What i've did notice is that the Internal Storage is only alittle over 5.5GB in total space since the Firmware is taking up 2.36GB of the drive. So on the box shipped should state 5.5GB and not 8GB of Internal Storage.

That makes no sense. This tablet doesn't support fastboot, nor does it have a boot loader with which to be OEM locked (or unlocked for that matter). Try plugging it in. If it powers on and starts charging, it's probably not completely bricked.

What's commands did you run that noob-un-2 posted. If you only did adb and tried fast boot, then your probably in the black screen with crashed android picture.
