So like me you went ahead and got that 20 dollar black friday tablet and are looking for things to do. Well lets start by rooting the thing. Obviously I've gotta say it's your device and anything you do to it is your choice so no crying please if you mess it up. This is really simple thanks to the guys from kingo root.
First things first lets turn on developer options go to settings about tablet click on build number about ten times and it unlocks developer options or you. Now we click developer options and turn on usb debugging then go to security and check unknown sources and uncheck verify apps. Now plug it in.
For the most part my laptop just installed the drivers. But if yours doesn't then you'll need to install the android sdk and ... this parts in the video but if you got questions pm me.
next download kingo root from here and run it with the voyager plugged in. It'll take a couple minutes and a reboot will happen but that's it it's done.
I made a video here hope it helps
WARNING don't go crazy deleting things just yet it certain things like most google apps can be deleted but certain system apps it's a no go and we don't have any kind of recovery but in the mean while we've got root
Hello,I got a similar RCA device with Kitkat 4.4.2 like yours.
The model number is RCT6672W23 and I am having trouble
I can't get mine to root because Kingo does not recognize my device despite installing the Google USB Driver revision 11 via the Android SDK Manager itself.
I previously had the Android SDK Manager installed for a FireTV from months before.
The autoplay menu even comes up,and I can access folders within my device.
Edit:Then again,I am not using a proper wire,and it reads a seperate name MTG above the RCT name.
Will the main wire work just fine from the RCA website below my devices info?

Do you mean the usb cord? I just used any old usb cord lying around. Do you have developer options enabled?
All steps have been done,but it could not detect it.
I had it all done in developer options,the animation scales smaller,the USB Debugging enabled,and I switched to ART mode.
I am guessing ART mode is causing it to not detect correctly?
On an unrelated note,it died randomly.
I was using it,and it shut off by itself,and would not turn back on,not even with the charger trick.
I had it on ART mode since the first time using it.
Don't buy RCA brand tablets,lesson learned.
RCA is one of the best brands of VCRs from the early days,not a good tablet brand though.
Last year's tablet model has videos of the battery swelling like a bag of popcorn,mine couldn't even last a week.

Root Master roots this tablet!
Almost...
I'm trying Kingo on a RCT6773W22 and it detects, goes thru the process but I'm noting on one reboot that it's hanging due to the length of time this tab tends to take on a full reboot w/RCA graphics, etc. I'm like 30 seconds short of it fully rebooting and then being able to be redetected but I hit the timeout error. When I hit Finish, it even resets Kingo and redetects! So that's not the issue, the timeout is. Any ways to screw with that to make Kingo hang longer or a total Fastboot setting for the tab until I get it rooted?
RCT6672W23 will root with kingo. But there isn't a custom recovery for it
Had to use the windows version but this cheap crapper is now rooted.. Switching from kingo su to supersu then deleting bloat ?
Anyone have root for this same device with their upgraded lollipop rom ? Amazingly, the bloatware is now removable without root, but I still want full control of MY tablet.
i have the 22b with lollipop and i wanted to root it but none of the know methods for the 22 work, any ideas?
can someone please make a full backup of this tablet and upload somewhere so i can unbrick my tablet.

If kingo root and iroot fail
Hey guys, I just want to share this:
My tablet is the RCA 7 VOYAGER II build number rct6773w22b running Android 5.0
After looking thru pages and pages on this Thread, I finally rooted my tablet, wich for some reason didn't work with Kingo Root or Iroot at first
I'm not a pro but I'm not an amateur either, here is what happened:
1-Opened the dev options and setup Debug mode. Downloaded SDK drivers, tried Kingo root, it wouldnt detect my tablet, someone suggested to install PDANET, it worked. Kingo root detected my tablet but the root failed all the time
2-Tried Iroot (pc version), detected my tablet, but again failed to root
3-Finally I decided to go to Device manager (Windows 10) and unnistall all the drivers related to the Android Phone.
4-Launched Iroot and installed the driver automaticly. But it continued to fail the rooting process
5-Launched Kingo Root detected my tablet with the Driver Iroot installed and finally, the root was succeful
Why this happended, I dont know but it's now working on my tablet. I hope it helps

Kingo root bricked my device, can you upload proof of your voyager 2 being rooted(video proof).

Bricked your device? really?. This method works but the root does not hold. I can't use a different su binary as well so this is a good start now just to find out how to make the root stick.

Yes it is fully bricked, cannot charge cannot go into recovery. I have another but to scared to try it because I don't have any backup tablets anymore.

Hmmm I don't know how you bricked it, You sure it is a 22b and not just a 22? I have been trying to get root to stick on my two 22b's and I can't see anyway you can possibly brick these devices as it would appear that nothing is getting written to the rom. Too bad and maybe next time pay attention to your model numbers. I know this thread is for the 22 model and not the 22b but this root method mentioned was for the 22b. Now if I can get the su binary to update thru supersu then I can get root to stick but as it is now this method is useless as the root will not stick but it is a good start.
The 22 does not have blue tooth, but the 22b does. My ex finances soon has the 22, her daughter has the 22b i have the 22b. He has the 22, because it has root and I removed YouTube and the camera app, as well as added all YouTube address to the host file to block the browers from going to YouTube. But we started with 2 of the 22's one bricked, so rca replaced it with a 22b. Bricked it trying to root it. Rca is a bad brand of tablets. It could have just been a bad tablet just like the 22 that bricked itself for no reason.I can replace the battery with a charged one but it just boot loops and can't get into recovery. So I'll have rca replace it again and sell the sob and buy a Samsung tablet.

And can't you just use kingo su? That's what I have to use on the 22 because super su won't update the binary.

I have a Linsay F-10xhd tab and have been searching everywhere on the net for a way to root this device. I have tried every 1 click method out there and they weren't able to root it. If anyone here has rooted a Linsay device can you point me in the right direction. I have a bunch of preloaded apps I would love to get rid of.
Didi some digging
And read that my drivers were not working properly with Vroot and Kingroot. So I uninstalled my drivers for this device and reinstalled then using PDA.net. Then I ran it through Vroot. After it did its thing it said it was successful rooted. Checked with root checker from playstore and it said it wasn't rooted
So I tried it again with kingroot but when it was finished connecting it said it was rooted and if I wanted to "unroot" or "root again"
That's as far as I've gotten. I didn't want to go further for fear of bricking my tablet.
I also downloaded Supersu, Busybox, and twrp and wasn't able to do anything cause they also said the device wasn't rooted. Anybody know why Vroot and Kingroot would say I'm rooted but these other apps are saying otherwise?
After days of trying to get this thing rooted, I figured out what went wrong. I deleted the kinguser app that comes with Kingroot when rooting. I downloaded the kinguser apk, installed it and got root permission!
So if you have a Linsay F-10XHD tablet, you have to use the kingroot method to root it. I'm still debating if I should replace kinguser with supersu. Don't see any real difference between the two. I might just keep kinguser

Hope this method works for me just got tablet for free today going to try later hope I don't run into issues now
Kingroot worked beautifully no problems here
I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.
Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.
I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.
I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.
Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.
Android version: 5.0.2
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: D80130c
Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?
UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.
UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.
If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.
Guys, just followed nbi1's method and finally got this working! Thanks!

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).

Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.
UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.
UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.

Thanks for the info. Did method 1 not work for you though?
So I finally tried to root my phone. Tried the LG One Click Root first and as posted here it did not work right. I have now SuperSU on the phone but I can't grant root to anything. Rootchecker shows no root. Now I tried Kingoroot and SuperSU asks to grant access but I can't confirm it. Looks like I have to first get rid of SuperSU? Stuck here not sure what I need to do the get rid of the butchered SuperSU install. Any tips?
Can someone point me to where I can get the AutoRec version that works on D801 Lollipop?

I was able to do the same using KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105241.apk and Super-Sume-v9.1.9.apk
If KingRoot tells you "Unable to get root strategy" or "Failed to acquire cloud issued Root strategy", try to reboot once or twice before trying anything else!
Hi, couple weeks ago I bought Acer Iconia One 7 B1-770-K476 NT.LBTAA.001. Seems that it is a new model and I can't find any info or faq how to make root on it. I tried different tools (framaroot, kingroot and others) but no success.
Also strange thing in setting (Apps), no option (button) to move app to SD card. Install some apps and tablet is full.
Will be glad for your help.
At first want to root it. Then need recovery to be able to use custom firmwares.
Thanks!
I used king root to root my tablet, but we gonna need a custom recovery to install xposed and be able to move apps to the sd
I also used kingroot to get root. The PC version, not the apk. To move apps to SDcard im using the paid version of Link2sd, the free one doesnt let you move the whole apps. I havent found any custom roms or recovery though.
carlosomar222, or unleashurfreak, can any of you elaborate?
I was unable to use KingRoot (PC version) because it never detected my tablet.
Where did you get the drivers?
You can find drivers on the acer support web site, but you can just try using the apk instead, its easier, by the way I managed to install xposed framework using flashfire that way you can run a module to use the SD card as internal storage , now we just need a custom recovery, i also replaced king root with super su using a script I found on a website, I can get the link if anyone is interested

The KingRoot APK did not work.
It was unable to find a solution for my device.
Could it possibly be because I have the latest update installed?
That's why I want to try the PC version instead.
Unfortunately, the drivers fail to install on my PC.
Are you also using B1-770?
Has anyone else successfully rooted this device?
And if you have, could you please share the steps you took to do so?
Really appreciated!
I also have a B1-770 with the latest update. The PC version of King Root failed.

Don't try to root b1-770 models, is brick your device.
I have tried many PC/APK rootkit, nothing work. For finish, I have returned the tablet on the store to get new one, OS have crashed (many errors with build-in apps, wifi problems, startup of device very long).
In my tests, I have found the reason of impossibility to root this tablet;
- Bootloader is locked
- No pre-root
- Android 5 have more security about rootkit
- Rootkit is only made for Android 4.x and lower
- Acer have added few security and reject all modifications on system files (with and without the Android protection)

For now, no. Many reason make it hard to root. is not impossible, but no right solution for this tablet.
Keep in mind...
- Android 4.x and lower have few security breach and can be rooted with many way; B1-770 is under Android 5.0.1
- Other Android device are pre-root (User on device is not root but if you connect by ADB, you have the root); B1-770 is not pre-root, SU is protected (trying modifing this files, and others make a crash when trying to update OS)
- Unlock bootloader, or unlocked bootloader can make easy root with right kit; B1-770 have a locked bootloader, Acer not offer any way to unlock it.
Is possible to root, but need a skill with Android OS, can compile your own Android OS version, insert root, and upload/replace it on the tablet. But you need to know what you made. You can also extract bootloader, modifing it, etc.... but need a high skill in Android security.
DON'T TRY FASTBOOT; Under ADB, you can reboot the device on Fastboot mode. But Windows not have the drivers for handle this mode. You need to Reset/reboot tablet for returning in Android OS (the hole between power and volume button).
I have searched many roots, because whant to move installed APP on my SD Card (with symlink), Android have removed this feature since 4.4.x (some devices have always this feature, is added by the developper). Rooting this tablet is totally unsafe; don't known if you loose some options of tablet (ex; my cell phone, if is rooted, camera stop working, with my other tablet, the wifi have some problems to keep connection long time).
My suggestion; wait a root and few comments about this before root. You must keep a unrooted tablet running good between a bricked tablet can't run anything.

Need to get some developers on it, sadly this always happens with this kind of devices, best bet is to wait for a new method for similar devices using the same chipset
Hey
I rooted my acer iconia b1 770!
Download king root v.4.5 and let it flow...
I have an Xperia Z Ultra, Sol24, i used iRoot to root it successfully. Instructions were unclear. Do this, press that, update binaries, done. Um, not done. Binaries,are not updatable. Nothing works. I want to access system files to make a modification, but it's not writable and the permissions are not changeable. I'm running Android 4.4.2. The super user i can only access is King Root and i get the worst crappy ads I have ever seen. How insanely frustrating!
I went to sony developer site, it tells my it is not possible to unlock bootloader. Which means I paid a crap load of money for an inflexible piece of crap. I paid extra unnecessary money for super sume pro just to tell me my phone is unwritable.
I don't know what to do really. I'm running out of patience.
Anyone know of anything? Is my phone just a Frisbee?
Yeah, I can agree kingroot isn't the best way to root (China crap, what can you expect?) , but its 1-click rooting does work for me on a 4.4.2-based TVPad 4 box.
And yes, it did leave some pretty persistent crap in the system partition. I ended up having to restore from a known good TWRP backup and root using a different method.
However, it did root your phone right? Does it pass the root checker test? Then how about installing AdAway? Well if it fails the root checker test then all bets are off unfortunately.
Hi, Yes it passes the Root checker.
But I installed free software Super SU, and it kept saying update binaries.
I tried, nothing happened.
So I installed a TWRP and CWM trying to boot in recovery.
It just rebooted the system, no recovery.
Can't change anything.
But there is software called Super SUme pro.
You have to buy it, after I installed it:
It said
This device is write=protected and not fully rooted, this program will not work for your device currently.
