Tip: If you'd like this tablet to become an unlimited WiFi phone with a real phone number, download and install GrooVe IP Lite (uses the RingTo service; they used Google Voice in previous versions). It works quite well, but no text messaging on that phone number just yet.

But if you download the actual RingTo app on a real phone (can't download that from the Play Store directly using this tablet), and move the .apk over to the tablet and install it there using the account you previously created with GrooVe IP, you can now get and send text messages over WiFi from the tablet ;)

Hey so this seems like a good logic but what if u just used google voice & Google hangouts to do same thing? Is there a different using ring to & Google voice? Not questioning your good info but just want feedback & knowledge. Thanks in advance & have a great day! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Nate2:
I'll try Google Hangouts on the tablet. I've been a long time user of GrooVe IP (before Hangouts, since my DroidX days), and when Google Voice was no longer supported, I started looking at their new provider RingTo. If Hangouts can dial and use Google Voice, and allows unlimited calling over WiFi, it may be an ideal solution.

Update 12/9/2014:

Google Hangouts works on this tablet to send/receive phonecalls and text messages over WiFi. Thanks!

But it did require installing an additional Google dialer app for the dialing/keypad interface (GrooVe IP has that built-in).

I also noticed that the audio with Hangouts was a little choppier, but there could have been other factors affecting that. No audio quality control options. GrooVe IP has a number of audio quality control options.

I now have 2 different phone numbers associated with this tablet. Gotta check the background battery drain between Hangouts and GrooVe IP.

i tried rooting with Kingo and iRoot (app AND PC versions) and Kingo times out while my tablet shows "==> fastboot mode" not sure what that means exactly or how to get the tablet to go past that step to continue Kingo's rooting process; also, iRoot (both versions) say root worked but then i use root checker and it tells me otherwise then i re-run iRoot and it shows i dont have root and wants me to reroot again, basically stuck in a loop that never ACTUALLY roots my tablet. Since Kingo recognizes my tablet does that mean my drivers work? i didnt do anything with SDKs or PDAnet etc... mind you when i go to Devices and Printers (Win7) it shows a yellow triangle on the tablet icon and i go into it and it says HTC drivers are on it? im kinda new to this whole thing, got the tablet on BF sale at Walmart like pretty muh everybody else i imagine. any help to get the tablet rooted would be appreciated.

thanks in advance guys (and gals)

So once this is rooted, is it possible to put on a custom boot animation & xposed framework. My kids are getting for Xmas & I'm thinking of doing that to them?
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
Possible solution... need input!

I've been working with Kingo directly to get this solved, what happens to me is even shutting off the Win 8.X unsigned drivers thing it's not working. The reason appears to be that there's a giant delay in the final reboot on the tablet and you get a 'WaitFoDeviceTimeout' from Kingo itself. It's the reboot where it gives the RCA dog white screen, then the RCA silver pulsing logo screen. Before it can reconnect with the PC on USB - even on 2.0 or 3.0 ports, that last part of the RCA reboot black screen seems to take about 15-20 seconds too long.

That's the wall right there, my Pc's telling me what's connecting and when, I hear a final disconnection tone and watch the tablet reboot, but then not connect before it's finished. Kingo gives that error. If I clear that error, even immediately, it says it's not connected but the second you get the Win 8.X tone a USB device is connected Kingo automatically starts looking, connecting and then starts from the beginning showing it's not rooted and in 'normal mode'. Support is there, but it's very slow considering it's overseas from me and the time/length of responses. But they are trying, I figured let that info stick in someone's head here and see if we get lucky.

Kingo says the tablet's supported but I think something's updated since it first worked for some here.

I do see the tablet doing a FASTBOOT, then trying to load a USB image that's 'not a boot image' but no errors, then another FASTBOOT, then the final full RCA boot.

Any ideas?

I've got the USB debug on and the Win 8.X unsigned drivers off, but I may be missing that 'PC privilege' part? Is that in the settings I can get to somewhere I'm not doing?:

I got root on this tablet using pdanet+iroot

At first I followed instructions for Kingo+SDK and got that fastboot thing, then tried it with pdanet driver and this time I got the timeout. I went ahead and installed the PC version of iRoot on my Windows 8.1 laptop and got root finally.

It did however install crapware. Some chinese apps. Install rootchecker and followed that up with Titanium and I was good to go!
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
Oif. Crapware!

Anything on the PC? Or just the unit that Titanium let you kill off?

Did it look like however that combo worked hit that same delay in the last reboot, but allowed for it so it worked? Or did it do something different?
[General Questions and Answers] eaponte23:
Not on the PC but on the tablet, some chinese ccleaner type of app and some blue app fronting like a cheesy super user app. If I understand you correctly, iroot went thru its paces and said it was rooting please wait or something. Tablet restarted once, saw a pop up on the tablet saying something in chinese if I remember correctly and thats it. Installed rootchecker right then, chinese SU ask for permission I guess so I went ahead and installed TiB and deleted 2 chinese apps.

Still rooted after reboot

Oh and before I forget SuperSU asked to update binary after I first installed it. I chose normal, kinda lagged a minute or two and restarted.
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
Trying to follow all this, sounds like it's not hanging like Kango was so that's a good thing...

My problem is PdaNet's hanging on install for some reason, can you provide links to where you got both of what you used? I may be getting it from a crapware loaded site or something. It's getting to the install point, but where it says 'may take a few minutes to install driver' has been going for a good 10-15 without moving. I see Win 8.1 installing, doesn't give an error, but then just sits and spins!

One weird thing, where I got PdaNet from, when you run it there's a little greyed window that pops under with XXX and some code in it. Once I click OK on that, it goes into PdaNet but again just hits a point and stops!

There ya go!
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
OK, started from scratch with these two utils. The PdaNet 4.15 went in fine and seems to work great, just have to kill the tethering option to get iRoot to recognize that tablet's there.

Then... we hit the wall.

iRoot works, but as you mentioned it's installing stuff in Chinese and seems to leave this app with more perms than I have EVER seen before and normally wouldn't allow. Refusing to install it makes iRoot fail. Uninstalling whatever that app is via Apps also seems to cause issues. I keep getting a white/blue screen in mostly Chinese with what may be a USB link missing error but I can't tell. And then it keeps trying to make me buy more apps and junk.

It says I've rooted, but I can't get a single SU to work. I've got Busybox 1.20 installed, but any SU program keeps misfiring on binaries or other issues and therefore Titanium and other stuff won't fire. I show I have root, but no superuser options going or settable.

The worst part (so far) is that almost every dialogue box now is in Chinese!! The app name is normal, but the rest is gibberish. I tried alternate languages to see if that goes away and I seem to be totally stuck with it. I was going to wait on Kingo, but they're slowly taking longer to respond. And since iRoot does hold til a connections made after reboot, that seems to be Kingo's issue in it's fails.

But the language bit's driving me nuts. I can't clear it, I can't understand what it's asking including approvals and such either. Gotta fake it from memory so I have no idea what's up.

Any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] eaponte23:
Well I was able to install SuperSU. When what I believe was the chinese SU app popped up asking for "permission" I hit the button on the right... Not the one with the "counter" lol

I swear I should've just took simplified chinese in high school instead of french:laugh:

I dunno what to say. I guess I lucked out with iRoot and pdanet.

try everything to get SuperSU installed the rest is cake.
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
LOL, yep, I went left instead of right so there's part of my problem. Some things say it's rooted, some don't so lemme try it again now that I get those stupid boxes! I'm with ya, I didn't take languages but in hindsight Chinese seems like the winning choice. And there's no way to translate things by copy n paste either!
[General Questions and Answers] eaponte23:
Yep sounds like you didn't give SuperSU permissions. try going right and install favorite SU then fix binaries like I did, restart install TiBU go right again lol, then uninstall crapware. Should be ok then

:good:
[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
aaaaaaannd we're in!

Yep, the non-timer right side is the key to all of it during all the install. No idea wth that app is but you might as well open your wallet and hand whoever wrote that all your stuff! I froze it for the moment whilest I see what is up overall but i did back it up and uninstalls coming next.

Seriously, since this worked, you need to write a tutorial! Those little details make the difference and using like Install Busybox, BusyBox and SuperSU are also keys once the root perms get handled. Would save quite a few people's sanity around here.

Now let's hope someone gets a full backup ROM and other options for us!

[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
Kingo won't do it, I've been working with them directly but haven't heard back in a week at all. I described that timeout, seems like we're 20 seconds short of success!

Now iRoot, Chrome just rejects it as malicious, because it's an .exe I'm running a combo of Spybot 2 and Avira A/V and nothing's popped them at all but it does try to install some crapware onto the tablet. One rule we've learned is NOT to click on the Chinese with the timer on dialog boxes, it won't install that junk. But, you can also uninstall it or freeze it with Titanium and I didn't have any side effects afterwards. By no means am I a fan of iRoot, but the PdaNet and iRoot combo did work long enough to get SuperSU, Titanium Backup and Busybox in there. I made a stupid mistake afterwards that's bootlooped mine.

I know it says FASTBOOT during attempts at rooting, but either it's factory locked down or not really there from my research so yep, that'd cause a lock as well. When I tried FASTBOOT, I was able to use CRTL-C and the Reset on the back to get it refired.

Interesting, when I do adb devices I see "1234567890ABCDEF sideload' and that's all it'll do. So I don't see what appears to be the item you're showing? Since I can't push/pull, there's no shot at editing the one base file that may be screwed up and causing the bootloop in my situation.

Wal-Mart Voyager 7" RCT6773W22 ROOTED

Okay, So I read this whole thread and tried Kingo and hit the same time out error that others have. I tried the PDAnet and the SDK drivers and still the tablet timed out on the second reboot, which I think some of you have experienced. I tried the mobile version or iRoot thinking that it can not steal my imei and since I do not use this tablet for anything secure I was not too concerned with spyware. iRoot said it worked and even installed its own SuperSU version (white horse on a blue shield background) as a system app that I then could not get rid of. It said "successful" but I did not have root. Verified this with root checker and tried to install CF's SuperSU (THE SuperSU) but install failed (no root). I tried to download the iRoot PC version but my anti-virus blocked the download and so I stopped trying that route. After much searching I found "KingRoot" and from the site you can figure out that there is a PC version, a mobile version, and a download for some cleaner app. On your tablet, download the mobile version (the site is in Chinese but it's the one with the phone) install the app and run it. It took a LONG time, seriously like 5 minutes and the only thing that changes when it's running is the ring around the button is spinning. Let it run and when it says success, exit out and install THE SuperSU from Playstore. It took me two tries to install and the second time when it worked the new Chinese SuperSU asked for permission for CF's which then installed and recommended reboot. Granted this and then opened TiBU and had to grant Superuser with both SuperSU apps, which confused TiBU a bit and I had to go into the TiBU menu and select "restart app" which open Titanium and populated correctly at which point I was able to uninstall the Chinese SuperSU's and the KingRoot app and now have a fully rooted RCA Voyager 7 RCT6773W22. I hope this helps those of you who were unable to get Kingo to work.

No love for RE-rooting using Kingo after OTA Update..

I have the same issue...exactly. I also have 2 of these. The first one I rooted with Kingo, and then when the update came along, I absent-mindedly took it without Un-rooting first ... maybe what you did, too. After the update, which went fine, it took out my rooting, but when I try to re-root, Kingo is doing the same as with yours ... saying it has Rooted, but after tablet reboots, says it's not rooted.

The second tablet I updated BEFORE rooting with Kingo, and then rooted, and all is well. I plan to get the updated & rooted image from the good tablet's cache, and then use the installed bootloader to restore that to the other tablet. Hopefully it should work. Otherwise I'll have to wait for somebody to get a new bootloader working, and try a new burn with that.

iRoot WILL work, you can get rid or freeze that stupid chinese app that gets stuck in there with Titanium. Just DO NOT make Titanium a system app! Leave it factory and I also used BusyBox installer from the Play store as well as SuperSU to get it rooted and stay rooted. If there's a new OTA, sadly I can't get to that (why wouldn't these Voyager/RCA idiots not make an OTA part of recovery??) to find out if anything reverses or isn't re-rootable.

[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
Everything I'm finding is Rockchip, but it's a MediaTek all in one APUish CPU on the thing according to the Cube builds.

Reads up as an HTC Desire on a straight USB detection, but since RCA/Voyager (whoever) locked the recovery menu down there's no way to do ADB other than sideload for anything. And therefore you can't even get a shell going to get into the memory drive inside to edit files and possibly unbrick or unbootloop the suckers.

[General Questions and Answers] PSCGOhio:
The Fanboys will trash this thing, but if you get the right model (this one) and in mint shape (seems shipping trashed a boatload of'em) it cranks. I've had it doing a ton of stuff and playing video without a hitch and it sure ain't hundreds like the stuff they think you should buy. Those might be too easy to crack so they look impressive playing with them but this thing has potential.

Clockwork doesn't show any of the models of this out there as compatible and anyone who's tried has hit walls in functionality, mainly from the lockdown of the Recovery menu. It will ONLY take Updates, signed by them apparently, thru ADB, SD or Cache and then wipe stuff. There is a restore and backup, but I did one and it keeps faulting with a checksum mismatch. So the first barrier to really going nuts with this seems to be that blockade.

Another interesting note after research, other branded versions of this exact tablet seem to have full 1080p video, HDMI and BT with more goodies. Seems thsi one cheaped out and left the HDMI port out, but the one chip that does WiFi allegedly does BT as well and they may not have loaded the software drivers for that to turn on. The Cube CT25 has all that, looks exactly the same, so I'm very curious if their ROM loads and then turns on anything new and upgrades the video to 1920x instead of the claimed 1200x
