[Android General] NepoRood:
My button method if for a hard bricked device, if you can't flash the firmware, you have done something wrong in your setup or you have bad cables or connection points

Boot into recovery mode by pressing and holding the volume up and power buttons together until the RCA splash screen comes up then release them. In recovery, use the volume keys to navigate to "reboot to bootloader" and use the power button to select.

IF you're good at working with circuit boards and soldering, you can probably pull it off, but if you don't know what you're doing, you could brick the device permanently

[Android General] guest55:
Thanks to all the contributors here. Wanted to post my workaround for getting ADB access without Root (for anyone still messing around with this thing).

1. Follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread to get CWM/custom recovery working.

2. Get Aroma file manager (google it, should take you to another xda thread). Use an old version (I think 1.50 or earlier), the newer ones weren't compatible on my Viking Pro.

3. Get a build.prop editor from the Play store. Use it to make a copy of your build.prop, save it to an accessible location, and add the following line to enable a wifi connection for ADB: service.adb.tcp.port=5555

5. Use Aroma file manager to replace your current build.prop with the modified build.prop (may need to first mount /system in CWM before loading Aroma to make the root folder navigable)

6. Run ADB on your computer and run the following two commands to connect to the tablet.

adb tcpip 5555

adb connect 192.168.0.101:5555

Replace 192.168.0.101 with your devices IP address

7. The tablet's IP address can be found under Android's WiFi settings, hit the vertical ellipsis in the corner, hit Advanced and see the IP address at the bottom of the screen.

This is all cobbled together from various sources, so if you need to troubleshoot, just Google the part that's giving you trouble.

I'm personally using ADB to make a high performance game playable that doesn't work well with rooted devices. Using just two commands: adb shell wm size; adb shell wm density.

ok. un rooted and still on stock recovery. in a bootloop tho and unable to verify the device. is there any stock firmware to flash in recovery to fix this
[Android General] sivansk:
be careful while flashing you rom, check your version in recovery whether it is 9,10 or 12 , and download the suitable rom in order to flash it

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

\

well we cannot flash any roms in stock recovery , you may try a factory reset , it may fix it , or else you must need to flash it through sp flash tool , and a male to male usb is required in order to flash your tab.
[Android General] deadseth:
not roms but stock firmware at all? and can u drop a link to a proper USB cord? like an amazon preferred if possible
[Android General] sivansk:
https://www.amazon.com/DTOL-Feet-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B000BSJFFC

you may also use any kind of male to male usb cable . i bougt my cable for 70 rupees just 0.98$.

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

check your tab's model in recovery whether it is 9 or 10 or 12 , if you flash a wrong firmware your tab may get hard bricked.
[Android General] deadseth:
thank u. i just ordered the cable
[Android General] sivansk:
Well you can also flash custom recovery through this cable
[Android General] deadseth:
oh and i do plan on that..

but.

i cAnt find the exact firmware i will require. so. heres a screenshot of me recovery.

could someone point me in the right direction, if its not to much of a bother? :)

well, i also has the same version which you have bought.

try this one, i flashed this firmware in my tab, it works fine.

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

do not flash the firmware with preloader, uncheck the preloader in sp flash tool before starting.
[Android General] deadseth:
well hell bruh, talk about being quick with the helpfulness.

honest, top notch....

thank u kindly and will update with whatever results end up happening. regardless if i end up simply talking with no interest. **** im high. sorry for Babbling
[Android General] Casper Young:
A curiosity about selecting possible firmware.

Hello NepoRood, thanks for joining in. I'd like to ask someone that may be able to provide an answer to this question I wonder of. I have one of these devices which seems rather difficult work with, maybe because it's an MTK type of device and RCA likes to lock up the USB serials as their way of preventing anyone from accessing and/or changing things within. This may sound plauseable to me, however, I could be far from correct. I have found a similar device that apparently is the same as the RCA model here in question. The Acer Icona 10.1 has all the same hardware as the RCA and from what I can see, it seems to match all components in the RCA, motherboard and all. (I can post a link to the full specs of the RCA at the end, however, you have to sign up to see them). So I'm curious if I should try using it. I'm glad Smartmanvartan and everyone took the time to do some development on the device when no one took the inititive and then posted this thread. His method described is very complicated to someone still learning these new ways of flashing we didn't have available ten years ago.

In short, can I use that firmware (the Acer Icona's) and flash it into the RCA. I'm not sure if that idea will work but don't really see how it can't given the fact that it's basically the same device with another name. I've had nothing but failures trying to get my PC to even recognise the device and it ended up on the back burner for a while. My PC doesn't recognize the device no matter what I do and the male to male USB cord seems to be a worthless venture also when the RCA only accepts non-powered devices in the port. Apparently the Icona is currently using Android 7.0 firmware.

Note: I may have this confused with my other Tab, the RCA Pro which is the model just before this one.

https://deviceatlas.com/device-data...03w46/6941012/?pi_email=centaur2469@gmail.com
[Android General] NepoRood:
No, you can't flash RCA onto Acer. There are many devices with the MTK8127 chip, but they all are different.

Equalizer is not working over Bluetooth headphones, is there any fix??
[Android General] ToolPunk:
Ok so I followed step 1 and Successfully gained Kingroot. I go to step 2 and in terminal emulator I get system/bin/sh: Su: not found... So I am not able to replace Kingroot with SuperSU unless you have any ideas...

Four different Root Checkers say Root is Achieved... Anyway, if I go ahead with just the Kingroot I have a question.

The following firmware, RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V2.12.20-B-EMMC-user-Kingston-V6.1_20150811 matches EVERYTHING exactly with my Tab but "V2.12.20-B" is "V1.12.20-B". Was this a typo?
[Android General] NepoRood:
Not a typo, that's version two of the factory firmware and is compatible with your device.
[Android General] ToolPunk:
Ok soooo, I totally got something in my head before coming here which totally confused everything for me....

I am seeing Viking Pros all over the internet @ places like Amazon listed as having Android 6.0. I quickly jump over to RCA and cant find even the OEM Firmware and so I head here. When I read "fix or update" in the OP and then see 5.0 on one side of the firmware filename and 6.0 on the other side, I guess I obviously made an assumption. I now understand the first 2 parts to the firmware's filenames as it is still Android 5.0.

Given that I now have that understanding, I now notice the version "V" that changes along with the date "20150811". So, since I started with "RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V1.12.20-B" should I have just installed "RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V63-V2.12.20-B-EMMC-user-Kingston-V6.1_20150811" or should I install "RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID5.0-V77-V1.12.50-EMMC-user-Kingston-V6.1_20160316"?

Or does it even really matter? Also, should I ever expect this tablet to have an OS update or should I be pushing for this person to upgrade their tablet to something with future OS hopes?

Do you know it this works for the RCA Neptune 10.1L? Model number RCT6603W47M7.

[Android General] NepoRood:
It doesn't matter, all of the firmwares with the "12" in the middle will work (as will the Surf firmware, which is what mine is running), and no, the device won't get an OS upgrade. RCA just makes new devices instead

It does not

Because no one reported to a Mod...
[Android General] blakegriplingph:
Which CM12 repo are you talking about? I tried getting CM12.1 to boot on my LeapFrog Epic but like your attempts it just won't boot to the home screen either. And LeapFrog isn't helping either with that incomplete source of theirs. :/

[Android General] blakegriplingph:
Ahh you meanthat one. Thought it was something else lol.
[Android General] Casper Young:
Terminal emulator is not required. I usually use the ES File Manager which takes Root control once it's granted and I can uninstall the Kingroot from apps. There's the root app that the ES File manager can then remove from the system often with the help of the ES App Manager.

I use this tutorial up to step 3 than I do it slightly different from there, but its basically the same method.

You got a 50/50 chance of getting it right, just don't flash the preloader from whichever firmware you download. It's not like you can make the device more useless ;)

Has anyone tried the latest SP Tool? I happen to have one handy while I attempt to get access to the Galileo pro.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Jz...KY22_N-nD-jtDA

If I remember correctly the Viking Pro has a MediaTek MT8163, Quad-core. And as far as I can tell the same motherboard and components found in the Viking Pro are exactly the same found in the Acer Icona One Ten, https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/model/NT.LCFEE.002
[Android General] sivansk:
Is there any custom kernel for rcaviking pro?
[Android General] Casper Young:
I wish. Theorectically yes. but there's a grab bag of device firmware to sort through. I recently updated my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Pro which was forever stuck on Android 4.0.4 to 7.1 by sticking the firmware for a Nexus 6 in it. Odin3 makes it easier to locate compatible firmware as soon as I noticed that it will lock up, freeze and/or crash if you try to put firmware in a device that won't work in it. These RCAs are MTK devices so they use a different processor than other Androids. So off I go searching through MTK devices. I believe I mentioned I was eye-balling the Acer Icona One 10.1 which has a 10.1-inch HD (1280 x 800) screen, a 1.3-GHz quad-core MediaTek Cortex A53 MT8163 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 2-MP front camera and a 6,100-mAh battery...This one matches the Viking Pro.

I'm still hunting for a match to the Galileo Pro..
