Here is the build number

RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V32-V1.9.1

This is the build number for the one that won't connect to wifi. Even through advanced options I cannot input the wifi information. I'm not sure if it's a software issue or a hardware issue.

Whn I look at the information it clearly has no ip address or mac address.

The other one works fine except the screen, I think, need to bwpe replaced.

I'm not sure if you'd want to or be willing to but if it would make this easier I could give you phone number and you could walk me through trouble shooting.

If not that's definitely okay...it's just an idea.

And thank you so much for responding.

You should be able to flash the firmware on your tablet. If you do so the problem shouldn't persist. It is possible you may get an NVram error warning, but there are easy to follow guides out there to help with that. My Suggestion is to go to the very first page of the forum and read through the forum and follow the instructions completely. Also make sure that the firmware on the tablet is compatible with your tablet (xx.9.xx) if you have anymore questions feel free to ask us
[Android General] NepoRood:
x9x, I'd kill for one of those, lol, it has a working TWRP! As stated above, flash your device with a compatible firmware, should fix your issue.
[Android General] blakegriplingph:
No MAC address, eh? Seems like the NVRAM got hosed on that one. If it's getting a phantom access point like with my old Lenovo phone booting to meta mode and using a tool to change the MAC might fix it.

Have a 6103 thats stuck in bootloop. Can you guys help?
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Sorry the 6103 is a completely different tablet in a completely different family. It has a rockchip 3066 if I'm not mistaken...
[Android General] JerTech:
Hi there! I recently acquired a x.12.x Viking that I would like to root and install a custom recovery for backups. I've worked my way through page 35 so far, but I have a few questions before I attempt anything:

A) Regarding method 2 of the root section, it says that it will "allow you to make a completely stock unooted backup of your rom before making any changes." In the bootloader section, it says, "Unlocking your phone’s bootloader completely wipes (formats) your Android phone’s internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc." I interpret both these statements to mean that unlocking the bootloader wipes the /data partition while leaving /system intact, which can then be backed up with a custom recovery. Is this interpretation correct?

B) Someone in the thread claimed to have flashed a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader. If possible, I would like to create a full backup of my tablet's current state including /data. Would the following order of operations allow me to do this?

1. Root per method 1.5.

2. Install Rashr and a terminal emulator.

3. Flash the x.12.x Clockworkmod recovery from SD using Rashr.

4. "reboot recovery" from terminal.

5. Full backup from custom recovery.

It sounds like the recovery will be reverted to stock without unlocking the bootloader, but at least I should be able to proceed with the unlock AFTER having a full backup with /data, which I can then restore after making the custom recovery permanent. Am I missing something?

Thank you all for your hard work on these devices!
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Yes for your question in section a. Alot of users have stated that unlocking the bootloader is an unnecessary step. If I were you, I would go with your steps. They sound good. The recovery being reflashed back to stock is because of a fail safe in the system partition. It's a file called recovery-from-boot.p. if you root with KingRoot and use the script to replace it with supersu, you can use a root explorer(root browser, es file explorer.. etc) you can delete that file and the custom recovery will stick( it's on the system folder). Also, the full stock backup has become a bit obsolete because of the amount of stock firmware available for your x.12.x tablet. Hope all of this helps you. Good luck and happy flashing!
[Android General] JerTech:
Thanks for the quick answers!

I forgot to ask about the "recovery-from-boot.p" file. If I add in a step where I remove that, there should be no need to unlock the bootloader or flash the recovery a second time. As a bonus, the entire process can be done without a PC!

I may not have time to complete the process for a few days, but I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
[Android General] JerTech:
It went well! Here's the process I used to root and install Clockworkmod:

1) Root with Kingroot only.

2) Flash recovery with Rashr.

3) Delete "recovery-from-boot.p" file from /system.

4) Verify recovery works and do full backup.

5) Clean up Kingroot (explained below).

6) Install SuperSU from recovery using zip file.

The only iffy part was cleaning up Kingroot because the script from step 1.5 doesn't work very well anymore. To make sure Kingroot was removed, I enabled Google's security scanning from Google Settings->Security->Verify apps. Google eventually placed a notification in the bar asking to uninstall Kingroot. It may take a day for Google to scan for this. I ignored the notification and first ran the script from 1.5. After that, I then allowed Google to uninstall Kingroot. After that, there were still two Kingroot folders in the root of /sdcard, so I deleted those. I then turned off Google's scanning. It now appears as if Kingroot is completely removed.

The process was relatively painless, didn't require a PC, and all of my data is intact. Thanks so much for all the great advice in this thread!

Anyone know where i can get one of these tablets cheap? The screen on mine shattered.
[Android General] NepoRood:
These tabs are cheap by nature, lol, did you search for new screen? These things come apart easy, should be an easy fix :good:
[Android General] crricha13:
just got one of these off a so called friend and he claims to not know the google account linked to it. how can i reformat it? or root it without full access?
[Android General] NepoRood:
If you have access to settings, do a factory reset. If not, you can flash one of the compatible firmwares located in the OP, this will also do the trick. Just make sure to follow the directions and use the proper version for your tablet.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
I'll pay for the shipping of you feel like donating it...
[Android General] randomnerdman70:
He could just reformat it from inside of recovery. Its not necessary to do all of this stuff. It would be a nuisance just for reformatting the tablet. Also I found a replacement tablet

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

I threw it away weeks ago. I looked at screens on amazon, and it would be the same as buying a new on straight up.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
That's too bad. I got a bricked one with a flawless screen.....
[Android General] randomnerdman70:
I could dig it out of the trash if you want?
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
Yes please. If it's doable....
[Android General] randomnerdman70:
I'll flash it with surf1001 before I send it out. Also if you could get a working twrp for me for the xx12xx tablet that would be great.
[Android General] NepoRood:
I have a "working" TWRP on mine :D

The touch sensors are way off for this device, so it's weird looking, however, CM Simple recovery by Tom Marshall also works (without touch). It just doesn't back up to external sd, you have to back up to a PC...

Also you can install the drivers as legacy drivers in Windows 7 that makes everything way easier.
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
What is the model number for your tablet?
[Android General] CinnyRekt:
Windows trouble

When i go to install the drivers as stated windows says "the best software is already installed for this device "unknown device". is there a bypass? same thing happens on windows 10 pro 64bit and windows 7 pro 64bit
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
You are attempting to use the micro USB port. The USB cable has to be a male/male full size USB cable. IT won't work with the micro USB port.

post 3 driver install fastboot

Good Very hello. Post 2 went well but post 3 the bootloader got to the part where it was supposed to install drivers in fastboot mode failed. Went to Android folder and Windows could not find drivers. I I redownload the drivers in case the ones I had were corrupt. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. The firmware installed fine post 2 but I noticed the first RCA boot screen was streaked but the system loaded fine. I don't know what is wrong with the drivers that windows cannot install it it looks like it doesn't even see the drivers in the Android folder. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. how can I get out of bootloop now that windows wont load drivers for unlocking bootloader? i am running the version 12. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
[Android General] CinnyRekt:
can you show me what i would need to get this?
[Android General] smartmanvartan:
This is what you need...
[Android General] randomnerdman70:
You could easily make your own if needed, and I could walk you through the process.
[Android General] randomnerdman70:
Go to Control Panel, then go to Hardware and Sound. Once into the Hardware and Sound subscreen you should see a heading labeled Devices and Printers under this heading youll see Device Manager click on it. When it pulls up the device manager got to action then to install legacy device click the option confirming that you have a disk and browse to the folder of the drivers.

[Android General] Jadevinicole:
Hi all,

So I've read through this entire thread today, took me a few hours. From what I've read, most of this thread is for the RCT6203W46 and RCT6303W87DK tablets; which is nice because now I have a reference so that I can try and flash some roms onto my RCT6203W46, so thanks for that fellas. However, that tablet is more of a side project for me. My main focus right now is on the RCT6303W87M7, basically the same as the RCT6303W87DK but running Marshmellow. I'm still at square one, no root. I've tried every one-click root apk that I could find, OneClick Root, iRoot, KingRoot, KingoRoot...nothing. None of these apks work, they all seem to get close but always fail at the end. I've tried the PC way, nope. I bought the USB A to A cable and plugged it into the tablet and the PC with the tablet turned off. I then connected the microUSB to a powersource(not the PC). The first time around the PC sort of "recognized" the device and automatically started download/installing the drivers. This took a little while and it is worth mentioning that while the PC was downloading the drivers, two windows popped up with a message saying something to the effect of "installing drivers, this may take a while". So, I sat there and watched the paint dry. Right towards the end when the PC was just about done installing the drivers, the messages on each of the windows changed for a split second. Once said something about "MTK device" and the other something about the bootloader. I'm sorry that I didn't catch the entirety of either message, like I said the changed for a split second and the windows closed. The only reason I was able to see this was because I had both of those windows side by side. So after this was done my PC would "recognize" the device, although I have to be honest, I never did see any hardware changes in my device manager. So now with the impression that I got my PC to recognize the device, I tried rooting with the PC method. I tried iRoot, KingRoot and KingoRoot. KingRoot and KingoRoot wont even read/recognize that a device is connected to the PC. iRoot does detect that a device is connect and will try to connect but, and I'm not joking here, I literally sat there for about 45 minutes waiting to see if it would connect with out it ever connecting. And like I said, I can't see any significant hardware changes in the device manager so I cant "uninstall" the device and try to "reinstall" and try the whole process again to see if maybe I missed something the first time. I'll try again if I have some time this weekend. I hope this helps anyone trying to make any progress with this tablet. Remember, this is for the RCT6303W87M7 running Marshmellow. Please let me know if anyone makes any progress on this.

Thanks.

old post I know

I know this is an old post, jumped in this thread checking root availability for RCA Galileo 11.5" tablet with MM 6.0 Wally World has for $79.99!

Here is a standard way to find compatibility with Google products as well as others on a android device. Under settings, apps, Google app (White circle with red, blue, colored G in it) after the first set of numbers, past the dash & in parenthesis there will be a three digit code, starts with 4... My device I'm on now is "440", this tells you processor, 64bit or not, arm64, etc.... Always get your apps like the playstore, etc... from apkmirror.com. On this site a listing of an app will have say "6 variants) under it (go for these types of app listings) and it will have an explanation as to how to read your 3 digit code to match your processor, target android os and so on! Also, it will require root to put an app back into system/priv-app folder. When you get the correct (from above) version of google playstore downloaded. Just open & install, but do not open. I use Root Explorer for ease of doing this. Goto device/data/app, you will usually find what you installed in a folder with long name, including two other folders within (odex, nonodex, etc...). Under Root, which is default for Root explorer to open to, make a folder for Google Playstore if its not already in System/priv-apps. Goto device/apps locate just the Google playstore icon within folder, cut and paste over into priv-apps/Google folder, make sure permissions are set to 0755, reboot, voila'!!!!!

$$PROFIT$$

Know this is old, maybe help someone else in the future,

I noticed these devices must have MTK chips due to "scatter files". My first MTK device got me involved in a thread that dove deep into them and I basically learned everything I needed to know about scatter files. Here is a link, disregaurd the beginning of the OP, https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab-2-a10-70-root-t3279322 . I know its a different device but if you pick up on around page 51 and see the MM 6.0 from the device manufacturer that was leaked via a Russian site, you will see alot of good stuff in there about MTK's SPFlash Tool, links to making your own "scatterfiles" etc......

Rct6303w87m7-android6.0-v19-v2.15.20

Good morning!

New user here, I have very little experience with rooting, has I never had a need for it. I have a RCT6303W87M7-ANDROID6.0-V19-V2.15.20

I understand that there is no root available yet. I will keep up with this thread for updates. As i mentioned I have little experience with root but extensive experience with Linux and programming. I am willing to help to gain root access on the mentioned device if needed.
[Android General] ericsimard:
Kali nethunter?

Just curious what wouuld be the chances of having Kali Nethunter installed on this device (RCT6303W87M7)?
[Android General] NepoRood:
RCA is notorious for not supporting ADB on their devices, so it's not you or your setup. Only option is an ADB over WiFi app, and most of those require root, but there's a few that don't. If you're insistent on having a device with working ADB, take the one you have back and stay away from RCA products in the future :good:
[Android General] pr3dicament:
Sadly, another device I have is an RCA Voyager tablet.. except it's a 7-inch, not 11.. and it runs Lollipop, not Marshmallow, but if you received both at the same time and couldn't look at the OS installed, you would not be able to tell. It had the same problem regarding the volume up/down not being programmed in for fastboot.. or actually.. the other one only had volume down working to cancel bootloader unlocking. At least MTP would work with it though, and you'd think that even stock recovery would work with a bridge of some sort. I was looking for adb over wifi *without root* apps. Many of them seem to just give instructions, and to run follow those instructions, adb has to be supported. I know adb is fine with the setup I use.. so.. Anyway.. adb over wifi without root, for now, is what I'd need to get it working. I have it on the same network and all.. so..

This might sound stupid but is there any way to get a functional ADB on it or through stock recovery? Any other possible exploits to try? ;/ I detest Kingroot, tried it anyway.. no dice.. used the latest version.. would've just replaced it anyway. I know with root access, all of this is easily done. I guess I'm just covering all possible tracks. Maybe the sdk can work through with it? I saw a few things that I wouldn't be able to do this second.. I can try once I'm done at work.. I hate being an admin and feeling helpless with something so trivial. I honestly bought this thing because of its keyboard and mouse.. walmart. I did so thinking I could at least talk to it, remotely or otherwise. If anyone else knows or cares if I were to chime in and figure something out later, let me know.
[Android General] NepoRood:
I got some of these tablets to learn on, mostly because they are cheap. I have one each, Voyager, Viking Pro and Maven Pro, all running LP. The biggest thing I learned: If you want to do "custom" things, don't buy cheap stuff :p

For best support, buy something with a Snapdragon chip (qcom), they run better anyway, and are totally open source.
[Android General] pr3dicament:
I mod, fix, refurbish, sell, and use Snapdragon devices as daily drivers, typically phones. I just wanted to know if anyone had any idea about wireless adb or using another protocol to send certain commands or some way to get it to be recognized so I can get a scatter file for it. When I do lsusb -- Nothing changes like it does with all of my other devices. Obviously, if it supported ADB, none of this even matters. These questions wouldn't be asked. ;/ It's one thing to have a device that simply needs a driver, but another thing entirely for a device that simply is not even acknowledged unless it's in bootloader mode/fastboot... and as similar as Fastboot is to ADB.. it's not ADB. It won't even do simple MTP, yet it is an option under Developer options.. and I tried toggling those options. That tells me that they literally just put 100% Vanilla MM with no ADB support.. I've got a couple more things to try, but it looks like I've got no dice here unless someone has any kind of suggestion aside from "don't buy cheap devices" -- I'm on a budget, sometimes we all can't afford the three figure pricing of certain devices. I'm not even sure if I can take it back at this point.. not that I could buy anything better, but getting a replacement would at least tell me if it's a hardware issue or if something small went over my head, I suppose. Then I'd wait until it finally gets root access. If I could afford it, I wouldn't be using it--just saying. That's why I'm asking for suggestions---I rarely post on here on here as it is. My only chance is the warranty that it comes with--for... maybe a replacement.. unless walmart will give me a refund or.. store credit if I see something else that I know will work? It's in mint condition physically.. i still haven't taken the damn plastic wrap off of the screen.. that's just a precaution of mine, so I won't scratch it or at least have less of a chance in case I need to take it back.

I know how well Qualcomm devices run, that there's open source for it, etc.. I'm part of that--particularly with Snapdragon devices. This is the first time I've *ever* encountered this. I want other tablets so badly but they cost so much for the kind I usually would be modding/fixing.. I wish I had the damn $$ for that. I did look it up here, and I literally mis-read one of the posts.. someone rooted it with.. Lollipop. That's what I thought it had.

Anyway, I've said enough. I apologize for typing so much, but it can be frustrating when you're so low on the totem pole. I don't even have health insurance. I hope that tells you why I don't have that budget. If they'd stop promoting me "in title" and not in pay... It'd be easier. I guess I'm out of luck.
[Android General] NepoRood:
I understand being on a budget, and I know why you bought the tablet. In the grand scope of things, it's not a bad deal at all. There's just no development for it, best you can hope for is a working TWRP, a modded stock ROM, and hopefully xPosed. I don't know if yours has the MT8127 chip or not, but I only know of 1 device that has a working CM12.1 build, and it's a Lenovo (and wouldn't port, lol)

There is no other work around for ADB, RCA devices just don't support it. Which doesn't make any sense at all, I've asked some of my Dev friends about it, and they've never heard anything like it either, and these guys have been doing Android since Cupcake.
