I just flashed my tablet with the firmware version from November successfully. So yes your tablet and all our tablets can be flashed back to stock as long as you don't load the wrong preloader. I used sp flash tools 5.15... I will post the steps tomorrow but this is good news for all of us.

weird thing, the November firmware loads vertically instead of horizontally...
[Android General] vampirefo:
Did it solve the bootloader problem?
[Android General] ewilley2008:
What did you use to get the tablet to be seen SP Flash Tools ??
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Nope... But I'm gonna try and download the oldest version I can find and maybe that one will work... maybe it's a security measure they added...

To get it in preloader mode, it has to be turned off, plugged in to power through the micro usb and conected to a computer with a male to male usb cable. If you ever flashed a mtk device you know how it works. if not what you wanna do is load the firmware in the sp flash tools, press download and then plug it in to the computer. the preloader mode only activates for 1-2 seconds

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

How would someone download the firmware from this site... Do you read Chinese?
[Android General] ewilley2008:
I used alot of google translate and found a english addon to the downloader app..

I have downloaded a few of the files now and looking at some of the build.props some are for totally different tablets even with them even being labelled RCT6303W87DK in the build.prop

so the RCT6303W87DK must be used by other manufacturer's as well
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
maybe it's the 16 gb version...

Think I could ask you for a favor? could you download and post a link to this one?

RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V16-V1.9.0-20150228.zip

Since your already set up....

[EDIT]Figured out how to make an account on their site found a kitkat version but it won't flash.. trying some older versions and I'll post results later.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
So i flashed an older version of the firmware... RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V32-1.9.1-20150409 ... looked safe but it had a different preloader and i didn't notice. Do not flash that one... I'm gonna let the battery drain and if i'm lucky, i might be able to save it.. Beware!
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Should be able to flash the stock from back with the pre loader and save it that way.
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
Looking forward to the step by step instructions. My kids will be very happy if this works as the tablet will be going to them.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
I am not responsible for anything that happens in your life including what happens to your tablet as a result of these steps.

Steps(Windows 7):

1- Install the drivers( they are unsigned don't worry it's ok.)

2- Plug your tablet in as such: turn off the tablet. Plug a male to male usb wire from the computer to the usb port on the tablet. now plug the power wire into the tablet(at this point your computer should detect the preloader and install the driver). Once that is done, unplug the power cable from the tablet.

3- Extract the firmware and the sp flash tools to your desktop.

4- Start the sp flash tools and where it says scatter file loading click and navigate to the folder where you have the firmware and load the scatter file. You will see the firware get loaded and a checksum check.

5- Once that is done, Click on the download button.

6- Plug the power cable into your tablet. At this point the sp flash tool will load the firmware into the tablet. DO NOT UNPLUG ANYTHING UNTIL THE SP FLASH TOOLS SHOWS YOU A GREEN CHECK MARK TO INDICATE THAT IT IS DONE OR YOUR TABLET WILL BE HARD BRICKED AND UNREPAIRABLE.

7- Press the reset button and turn it on. Done!

[Android General] jerryvail35:
This is awesome.
[Android General] Gutter3052:
Can anybody confirm this will work? I edited my build.prop file and it's stuck in a bootloop, will this fix that issue? Already sent in a support ticket with RCA and got them to accept it back for repairs, but as I've rooted it, am worried they won't send me back a refurbished one.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Do you remember what your build was before you stopped being able to boot in?
[Android General] Gutter3052:
I can still get into system recovery... Says RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V1.12.20-B
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Ok that's cool, you have the exact same version as the link to the working firmware. if you follow the steps to the letter, you will have a brand new rca rct6303w87dk. :)
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Can't get it to work on my windows 7. Keep getting device malfunction error or device not recognized.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
its important to connect the usb first and then the power... see if that works for you.

[Android General] Gutter3052:
After going out and finding a male to male USB (Wasn't easy let me tell you), I can confirm this method does work...my tablet no longer is stuck in bootloop and is working just like it did Christmas day!
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Turns out that my home Made cable didt work. Trying to find male\male cable now.
[Android General] clsA:
I got this one >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GUXG92?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

(not flashed with it yet though)
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Yeah I tried making one too but that didn't work out for me either. What I use is a USB mini cable ( you know the ones we use to have everywhere before the USB micro came out) and a adapter i had for charging my portable speakers.View attachment 3601465
[Android General] Gutter3052:
Anybody know of a way to increase the sensitivity on this tablet...? I have a rhythm based game I play, and it seems to miss "notes" when I know for sure I'm hitting them, especially since I have a Nexus 7 and have no issues on that...
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Not that I know of. Maybe it's something that can cbe fixed during development. If this device gets that far.

[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Sorry, I didn't notice the broken download link in my post... 5.1524.03... You can find it here
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
Just noticed this says it is for Windows 7. Can anyone confirm that it works with Windows 10 as well?
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Yes but the driver installation requires you to disable signature verification check.
[Android General] jerryvail35:
well. it turns out that my home made male/male usb does work. must have been the bad link or a bad download.. all in all... thanks everyone.
[Android General] jerryvail35:
has anyone tried magic cwm on this device yet?
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
Anyone know how long it takes to load the firmware? I have followed this step by step and am not getting the green checkmark. It has been running for 30 minutes now.
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
This is the screenshot an hour after starting :(

Edit: Second pic shows Timeout error after over 1 hour
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Looks like you loads the wrong file. In sp-flash tool, go to scatter loading file and just load MT8127-Android-scatter.txt and hit download again and see if that helps.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
The file looks good.. It sounds more like a driver issue or maybe you are plugging the USB after plugging the power cable as opposed to the other way around...
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
Well it seems it is either my Male to Male USB cable is no good or it is a driver issue. I have tried multiple times. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and still nothing. Guess I'll have to try and RMA it.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Its tricky sometimes.. I think its more the driver than the USB cable. Try connecting the USB while the device manager is opened. See what registers and if it has the wrong driver it will have a yellow exclamation mark. If you see it, right click on the device and uninstall that driver. Then when you plug it back in, it should install the preloader driver instead of the faulty one. The tricky part is that the preloader mode on the tablet is only active for one to two seconds so you gotta be quick...
[Android General] vampirefo:
You aren't in download mode, left side of picture is blank, it shouldn't be, should show specs, only available in download mode.
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
Thank you! This was exactly the problem. Once I had the right drivers installed everything worked perfectly. :D
[Android General] sumer1:
Have you noticed a difference with the new firmware?

Cheerss
[Android General] Sir Jaxxy:
I have it seems that this one is build RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V10.12.0 while the build on my other 2 Vikings is RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V1.12.20-B. The Kernel is also signed with a different date. All 3 are Kernel 3.10.54, however, this one is dated Fri Nov 6 16:42:02 CST 2015 and the other 2 are dated Sat Aug 1 23:17:27 CST 2015.

So far the only difference I have noticed is on boot/startup. This on starts in portrait and displays RCA during boot after the logo splash screen (the one with the 2 dogs). My other 2 start in landscape and display Viking Pro after the splash scree. Other than that I have not notice any differences, but, I have not had time to really play with it yet. I plan to run some comparison benchmarks after I root it to see which build performs better. I'll let you know when I do.
[Android General] jerryvail35:
I have noticed that a lot of my apps are force closing now and some apps don't work like they should.
[Android General] sumer1:
Have you done a reset and cleared cache's?
[Android General] jerryvail35:
didnt think you had to after installing the firmware.
[Android General] sumer1:
NEED HELP

I decided to try another themed gapps so I flashed them with Flashfire. The flash went fine, well sorta. No boot loops but now i keep getting that "google play services has stopped " and cant use the play srote or any of the othe google services. In a custom Rom i;s just re flash the Rom. Anyone know how to fix this? And yes i've booted into recover and cleared cache as well as google services cache.

Thanks
[Android General] jerryvail35:
Re. Flash stock firmware, maybe!?
[Android General] sumer1:
Yeah. I want to avoid that if possible because i'm rooted. I guess i'd have to unroot first?

You won't have to UN root but you will have to re root.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bruce7373:
I've read a few reviews which pretty much conclude the M9 is a meh update to the M8. I had a M8, sold it for the next greatest thing (whatever that was), but, in hindsight, I think it was probaby the best device of the dozen or so I've gone through since.

So I'm wondering how previous M8 owners feel about their purchase. Do you think it's a worthy upgrade? I'd be more inclined to go with the Plus, but who knows if that'll ever make it to the US.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] enchanter100:
I've had the m7, m8, and now m9. m9 feels faster, I prefer the camera over the m8, sense is still the best overlay in my opinion. But if you don't feel like you need the latest and greatest device, it's not much of an upgrade really..
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bruce7373:
What got me interested was that I just picked up an M7 as a backup phone, and I realized how much I missed Sense. I hate the look of Lollipop and it's a great way to get the advantages of 5.0 without the the garish quality of Material Design.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] enchanter100:
Friend of mine was using the m7 and I told him it's time to get the m9.. He tried out the s6 and after about 30 minutes he hated the interface and got teh m9 like i suggested..
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] BR7fan:
I came from the M8 and I do not regret it a bit. The phone feels faster camera is better and will be getting better with future FW updates. I love the design tweak to help with grip. This thing is great for gaming and photo editing. The sound has definitely improved as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] rizzo269:
I switched from the M8 to the iPhone 6 but after a few weeks had to get back to sense so I picked up an M9. Overall the phone is very similar, but it is much faster in my opinion. My wife still has the M8 and does like using the M9 better. The camera is still the weak point but in good lighting I get really good pic quality. Hopefully as mentioned above a FW update will continue to make it better. Overall it is a small update from the M8 but the processor power and camera were the benefits for me. Battery life is on par with the M8 for me as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hase091:
Hi,

I'm trying to make a factory reset on a Nexus i9250 (4.3) because every time that it boot, the system gives me the error "unable to download now. try again later"

("impossibile effettuare il download ora. riprovare più tardi")

and in a few seconds it crash and reboot itself.

I've tryed:

- boot in safe mode and do a factory reset: it reboot in recovery mode and tells "no commands available".

- boot in recovery mode, wipe data and cache partitions: it tells "ok" for both steps, then when i reboot, ther's the same system as always, with the same errors.

[IMG="Wipe Data and Cache"]https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t34.0-12/11301316_10206591532857162_173104182_n.jpg?oh=e43445a68b1e0e215c7911535abbc164&oe=5562E260[/IMG]

- with this tutorial : i can unlock the bootloader, but when i reboot the device, the bootloader is locked again and the system is like always; i've tryed also install CWM under the bootloader unlocked (without rebooting): the steps goes ok, but when it reboot, the recovery mode is normal and the bootloader is locked!

[IMG="CWM ok"]https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t34.0-12/11272267_10206595369873085_1061117587_n.jpg?oh=dc63e58c92d4217226d636ad263422ec&oe=5562E4FF[/IMG]

- with this tutorial: Odin3 v3.07, odin.takju.4.3.tar.md5 or odin.takju.jwr66y.4.3.tar.md5, with or without the partition table, odin fail in the middle of the step, at "<ID:0/004> system.img"

- with another tutorial (out of this forum): Odin3 v1.85, stock ICS GNex.tar, with or without partition table, it complete all the steps, but at the reboot the system is like always!!
