well thanks for the reply
[General Questions and Answers] corbin92:
I just tried to root my Voyager II w/Android 5.0 with the Kingo app. I'm stuck in a bootloop. The Vol+ and Power button combo won't pull up the recovery menu.

Is there anything I can do to get it to work again?
[General Questions and Answers] jada88:
Can't believe no one can help us root that WONDERFUL rca voyager 2 tablet rct6773w22b android 5.0......is it cause of her price ???anyway thank you in advance ;););)
[General Questions and Answers] NiMaD83:
well this sucks with no root for this . Is there atleast a way to move apps to sd ? Im having issues with that so i was trying to root with obvious no results
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend king root use mtk tools and splash tool to root the tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] NiMaD83:
Any verification that this method works for this tablet
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
Verification?
[General Questions and Answers] NiMaD83:
Everything from this thread and elsewhere points that this tablet can not be rooted yet so I am doubtful on the method you mentioned
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
OK don't try it.
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
For anyone else that has any rooting skills, apparently no one in this thread so far, use flashtool for your rooting needs.

Seeing no one has bothered to root via flashtool tells me no one even knows how to root a device, just click an app is all modern rooters know anymore LOL.
[General Questions and Answers] ummkiper:
I'll try that after I get rca to replace my tablet again.And I'm deleting all Kingo root from my pc lol.
[General Questions and Answers] porkenhimer:
People root with methods that are available. Are you really trying to be rude for no reason? I have a feeling that you are just wanting someone else to try to root with spflashtool because you are scared to try it yourself.

As a matter of fact I have tried and it was the first thing I did after opening the tablet months ago and the results were not good. I never found a driver to get spflashtool to recognize my tablet. I tried installing ever single signed and unsigned MT driver available and every single one would not install. The only driver I can get to install for my device are the generic android driver and for some reason Samsung drivers will also recognize my Voyager 2, but no MT drivers will install. Yes I know what I am doing when installing drivers, but for some reason all mediatek drivers say my voyager 2 is not supported.

Instead of being rude you could have just asked someone to try rooting with spflashtool instead of trying to bully someone into trying. I am more than willing to try, but until I can figure out the correct Mediatek drivers to use I cannot get the flash tool to recognize my device. So how bout this, if the spflashtool recognized your device why don't you post the drivers you are using and I will install them and give it a try.

To be clear, when I connect my voyager 2 it installs three drivers, but windows update does not find the mt65xx driver and installs the generic android driver instead. I can manually uninstall the android driver and manually try to install the mediatek driver, but it does not install. There are all in one packs of every single mediatek driver and it says none are compatible with the voyager 2.

Why not google vampirefo so you can at least have some small understanding of who you are talking to.
[General Questions and Answers] porkenhimer:
You are not a big deal. you are just human and nothing more. I do not care who you think you are, nothing gives you the right to treat people like garbage, period. Vampirefo means zero to me and it never will. Vampirefo is not worth of a google search. Maybe you should listen to the song google me to get a better understanding on what it takes to be worthy of a google search. You are just a smartass on a forum that thinks he knows it all and has an inflated ego. You are not known outside of a few subforums on a couple websites and are telling me to google you like you are a bigshot, you are a clown, and just the idea of you telling me to google you is highly laughable. You are not better than me or anyone else. You have the wrong idea of what makes people special, and being a dev or a senior member on a couple websites does absolutely nothing to make you important. Mandela was important, Martin King was important, Che was important, Columbus was important, and you are not even close to being on their level so you are not worth a google search. You are at best just another goof on XDA that made a couple mods or maybe developed a couple small things and now thinks he is more important than he is in reality. you are a peeon!
[General Questions and Answers] AlucardLupus:
So aside from the argument about all that popularity nonsense anyone else wish to get back to android related problems. like this 1 that this thread is about. rct6773w22b. so i grabbed spft and sat down to get rooting. (I'm an amateur, just created this account/ I have rooted before and I'm far from computer illiterate). so i sat down to try to get it rooted bc a few things really annoyed me about this tablet. like not being able to move apps to sd. and as i start getting all my bits and bobs together researching as i go. trying to find a simple way to root. not succeeding and deciding on the less simple method. i got all my drivers all my programs (a prerooted rom i thought would work) and jumped in knowing the time it would carve out of my day. and ran into problems in no time 1st the drivers didnt work so i searched around and found an auto installing MT8127 vcom driver pack. awesome i thought solved that issue pretty quick. it went smoothly. so i proceeded (this is where i mess up or at least im pretty sure its where i screwed the pooch). so i load up spft after turning off my tablet. plug in the usb to make sure its loading the preloader correctly and it seems to work. moving on i load the scatter-file which is from a post showing how to flash a rct6773w22 (<= thats the **** up right there as i said I'm a novice didnt think twice about the difference) now it loads fine and is all good till i press download and plug in the usb again. it starts it stops it errors . so i stop and go research not finding much i turn to youtube which is a stupid choice bc i watch a yahoo format all but bootloader. and if thats what will fix it sure y not i can recover right. lmao and poof no more boot. doesnt even flicker the screen and the flash wont go bc error 3042 dram enable failure. as far as i can tell thats a hard brick. so if anyone would like to help id greatly appreciate it. feel free to laugh at my noob fail. P.S. if anyone does manage a root on this and can get a recovery file out of the deal thats bone stock. id appreciate a copy

LMAO, same old Vamp, when your old ass sobers up, I have a few questions about rooting this tablet, I don't have this tablet yet, walmart is sold out in my hometown. I know this cheap tablet doesn't interest you, I want to get it cause it's cheap, and learn how to root MTK tablets.

Happy new year.
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
When you get the tablet let me know, I will need some info about tablet and a couple of files.

1. Determine what OS you are running 5 or 5.1 and whether or not bootloader is locked, any version below 5.1 is still 5.

2. If 5.1. Setting > developer options > OEM locking

3. If 5 adb reboot bootloader

fastboot OEM unlock

4. /proc/dumchar_info

5. /proc/mount

6. Install flashtool and drivers

I am interested in this tablet http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3116016

If I do get tablet, don't know, yet I will root it via flashtool and put up a guide, you can use that guide to root this tablet process is the same for all mtk, do you know how to port custom recovery? If so I have one for you, if not I can do it for you, I can't stand ubifs which this tablet is but I did build a ubifs custom recovery for another device just needs ported to this one and flashed via flashtool.
[General Questions and Answers] tomtom1265:
I tried 3 different Walmart store no one has this tablet, after talking to a lot of different people, the tablet is available online, it's being fazed out and replaced with rca new 7 inch Marshmallow. Rca tries to release a new tablet every year with a current android, they never upgrade their old tablets.

Buying this one right now is a waste of money, same as the one you are interested in, starting mid February, new tablets will be out with current android, I can wait, you should to.
[General Questions and Answers] leetree2001:
Fastboot OEM unlock no good, if u agree it erase everything. No charge no nothing
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
What? I don't understand what you are asking, Are you saying fastboot OEM lock command doesn't exist? Is your version 5.1?
[General Questions and Answers] leetree2001:
My version is 5 .I did fastboot OEM unlock fastboot reboot. And it turned off but no boot now it won't come on and charge doesn't show!
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
fastboot OEM lock doesn't do anything it simply checks if bootloader is locked or not.

fastboot reboot just reboots tablet.

You must have done more than fastboot OEM lock.

I am thinking you tried to unlock bootloader, which you shouldn't do until you make a backup, I never ask or suggested anyone try and unlock bootloader just check and report back if it was locked.
[General Questions and Answers] leetree2001:
UNLOCK it says it will do a factory reset but it must have erased everything
[General Questions and Answers] ummkiper:
I'll have this tablet again after rca replaces it.kingo root soft bricked it.And I can't enter recovery.just boot loops at the rca dog.but I'm moving in a few weeks so will wait till I move before getting ahold of them.
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
So you tried to unlock bootloader, why did you fastboot reboot? You rebooted while tablet was unlocking bootloader not a good ideal.

Unlocking a bootloader takes time, once the bootloader is unlocked you should be given an OK to reboot, which would be volume up or volume down not fastboot reboot.

Most likely your tablet didn't wipe anything but you corrupted your bootloader.

You would need to get a bootloader from another device and flash to your tablet to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] Inspex:
Really surprised nobody has shown more interest in providing a working root method for this cheapy tablet. They sold like hotcakes this past Black Friday. We purchased one for all of our (3) kids, as did just about every other parent I know. Would someone be interested in looking into it for a little money via Paypal? Voyager II doesn't seem like a bad tablet at all for the $28.00 we spent. I've played with my son's and its not the best but it definitely has potential for the price. I've also tried every one-click rooting app with no success. I will gladly throw someone a few bucks through Paypal for a simple root method.
[General Questions and Answers] leetree2001:
I have another tablet,same version. How would I go about fixing it with no root.I know it's with spflash but I have no scatter,and with no root no way to get it ,I think...any help would be appreciated, thanks
[General Questions and Answers] bryantjopplin:
I'm not sure why everyone is asking about voyager 2 when it's a different tablet then the one that's listed. 2014 vs 2015 model
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
This is true, somewhere in thread the two tablets go intertwined.
[General Questions and Answers] bryantjopplin:
Yeah I seen that a few pages back.
[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
This requires work, perhaps more work and time then the tablet is worth, you need to do a rom dump from good tablet, then split the dump into it's correct partitions, then reduce each partition size by hex edit the empty space, then flash to broken one.

You would also want to dump the broken one and see if they are the same.

Rca has many different version of this same tablet, look at build.prop to get your version.

You may go through the entire process for nothing if the tablets aren't exactly the same.

This is done via splashtool, so if you can't figure out how to setup splashtool install it's drivers no need to mess with this.

If you do have splashtool setup send me the files I ask for, I will make you a scatter file to use in splashtool.

Also besides the other files, I need your build.prop.

For scatter
[General Questions and Answers] AlucardLupus:
If u search for the rct6773w22b all the threads to deal specifically with it are closed with a message from a moderator redirecting all readers too this thread. Probably to do with the similar model numbers. I believe this is why the threads are merged. But I'm pretty new to the forums so I'd have no idea how to fix that.

I think the key to root may be rootgenius. It gets furter than all other root methods I have tried it reboots a couple times during the process , which is normal, but for some reason it always says my device has been disconnected after around 70% and I am not sure how to stop it from disconnecting, because I can hear it disconnect before the program ever says it was disconnected. Maybe someone else can try rootgenius and see if their device disconnects as well.

BTW my version is v10 v1.11.20

[General Questions and Answers] vampirefo:
As you can, people have different versions that a lone make the device undesirable. A root method for one version would most likely brick another version.

Just so many different versions, My guess one root method required per each version, ideally, you would use flashtool backup each partition, open system.img add root, then flash system.img back on device.

[General Questions and Answers] ummkiper:
Not going to happen, after I tried root with Kino I had same issue, cannot go into recovery, stuck with boot loop. after a while note the battery won't even charge even after pressing the reset button. the icon shows up to say charging but it doesn't move then it goes blank till I unplug and plug back in. the only way to try to fix it is to put in a charged battery. but then I'll probably be at boot loop. so here is the 100% way to fix it. Call rca and have them replace it like I have 3 times now and will have to again.this time I may just sell the pos.

On another note got a working voyager 2 and if my daughter let's it die I have to factory reset it, or it will not boot after being fully charged. It has come to my conclusion that I will never buy rca tablets again. yet I still have an original black Friday voyager from 2014 rooted with no issues so that's 1 out of how many without issues. Not worth it. Going to spend the extra money and stay with Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] PaDaMs28:
In my experience

Well I am going to take a guess you are planning on buying this Samsung from Walmart? I have news to share with you about Walmart electronics. At Walmart manufactures make their products out of cheaper and less durable material so therefore you are getting what you paid for. How do I know this? Me and my family went to buy a TV in 2015, and we bought a Samsung smart TV for $1200 and the screen kept going out. We would go and take it back to get another one and the same thing would happen. This process repeated about five times before I gave people at Walmart a cussing. Then another experience I have had with Walmart electronics is the Notebook Ares 8. This tablet is truly a piece of American made sh!t. The screen will spazz out all the time, the keyboard only pops up half of the time, it crashed all the time, and last but not least it had black and white front camera. Please do note that ever time return the tablet it wouldn't have the same issue as the last one, but it would have a different issue. Then to the IPad the iPad screen would never work correctly. The Samsung crashed 24/7. So I guess what I am trying to say is never buy electronics from Walmart. If you want a good tablet for very low price try the Kindle fire HD $49.99 on Amazon.com. BTW that is what I have currently and I am completely satisfied with it.

[General Questions and Answers] Bling_Diggity:
Bought my Voyager 2 a few days ago at my local Walmart.

I have Android 5.0-v17-v1.11.60-ML

Tried KingoRoot first, and the good news is that it isn't bricked. Bad news is, of course, that it didn't work. Honestly I'm glad I didn't read the end of this thread first or else I would've been to scared to even try Kingo.

I also tried RootGenius. It failed, but I'm on something with it. It would help greatly if I could read Chinese. After recognizing the device as the original Voyager 1 tablet, and failing to root, I opened up the residual root app it left on my tablet (most of which is in chinese), and then tried again to root via the RootGenius software on my PC. Unlike the first time, the root software correctly identified my device as a Voyager 2 (rct6773w22b) and attempted to root again. It failed, but only because of a "network error" which caused it to be unable to download the necessary files.

I have unfortunately not been able to replicate the 2nd root attempt since then. Again, it would help if I could read chinese. But perhaps one of you fine gentlemen (and/or ladies?) would care to give it a go. Just download the latest RootGenius software and have at it.

The Ares 8 is a great tablet, for $78. Just need to run my ported Roms on it to get best performance out of this tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] Morse Pacific:
Vampirefo: can anyone or yourself post a step by step guide of how to deal with a bootlooped (cannot access restore mode with power and volume +) W22B? I am confused between the chopped up advice for the w22 bootloops, nevermind the w22B. I can still determine my version while stuck in boot loop? I already have PDA net and such from other experimentations. For some reason , I never even tried to root this tab, the PSX emulator EPSXE just crashed to black screen and then stuck to bootloop without recovery.

I can still get my version #, scatter fle and all that other stuff with this soft brick? I can hear windows picking it up every boot cycle... but only stays connected for about 20 seconds before the boot cycles again and connection is reset. This little tablet is powerful for its price and I think that if we can tame it, many people will be grateful. This is now a popular , if not easily modified, tablet. Any useful guidance would be appreciated.

*edit* i did enable developer options and usb debugging before the brick. I did try to kingo root and king root before, but it didnt go well and I did a factory reset. Been fine for weeks.
