[Q] [Root] RCA Pro 10" RCT6203W46

I just bought an RCA RCT6203W46, and am now trying to root it. Does anyone know of a working root method and custom recovery method?

I'm also interested in this. Does anyone know the difference between this and the RCT6103W46? Looking for screen protectors and a case like the Bobj cases for this.
Update: Contacted Bobj, no case for this model, yet. Maybe if it becomes popular enough someone will make a good case for it.
On the root method, I found this: (can't post the link here, so google "looks like i'm joining the mtk" and it will be the first result)
I'm not sure yet if he used iRoot or vRoot.

Good Question

ROOT would be a GREAT blessing! So far, I mostly like this tablet.
iRoot didn't work, nor does Framaroot.

Try the last version of vRoot, the predecessor to iRoot.

103 vs 203 models
There are actually two variations of the 103's. The difference between them is one has a usb keyboard that plugs into the mini usb 2.0. But this makes it impossible to charge the tablet and use the keyboard at the same time. The other has a bluetooth keyboard. Now, the differences betwen the 103 and 203 are that the 203 has a better cpu, has android 4.4.x v.s. android 4.2.x, and 203 has a "dock" on the back for the manufacturer keyboard. So I believe you would be safe in using the same screen protectors. As far as rooting, I am waiting for a confirmed method before rooting.
My own question... please state whethere or not your keyboard on the 203 has which of the two functionalities:
While the tablet is on and in use, pressing the lock button in the top left corner of the folio keyboard and holding it for three seconds should lock the tablet. Now here is where users may (and should) differ. Does your keyboard stay on or turn off? I ask because I picked up four of these, and I set all of them up at the same time, and happened to notice two of them had keyboards turning off with the tablet, and two had keyboards not turning off, allowing the keyboard to be used to wake the tablets. So I tested to see if it was keyboard specific, and it is not. I checked to see if the model numbers were different and they are not. Curious as I would like all four to keep their keyboards on unless the user chooses to slide the switch to turn them off.

Working Root!!!
I tried Framaroot, Iroot, Towelroot, Eroot, Kingo, Odin, Poot, and many other programs to root my RCA pro 10 (RCT6203W46). None of them worked. After many many annoying hours, I found a process that worked. Install Vroot version 1.7.8 or version 1.7.9 on your computer. I have windows 7 and it worked. Also, make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked in Developer options and make sure you have the correct driver for the tablet. I think I got my driver from the kingo program. Or the ADB Driver Installation program. The Vroot program is in chineese. I used google translate on a different phone to translate. It didn't help much. Click the fancy buttons and the right option when "yes" or "No" options pop up. There will be a check if it all worked. After this process, you can disconnect from the computer and download Terminal Emulator. Look up the youtube video of how to replace chineese (vroot) superuser with supersu. Then you have Super SU app lke any other root and can delete the chineese apps. Hope this helped :good: :laugh:

Here's what I did.

I rooted mine but it was a jumbled mess of a process. First install SuperSU, then install and run iroot, afyer that using pdanet drivers plug it into your computer and use kango, open SuperSu and update your binary, finally use a root browser and remove the app iroot installed. Iroot installs the su binary but doesnt set anything up properly, kango will set everything up but cant install the files needed for some reason so you have to use them together. Its messy but it works.

worked great. Thank you

Kingo does work

I tried them all, everything posted here. vRoot is what worked. Anyone get a push for a firmware update within the last couple of days? If so is it 4.4.4? Anyone confirm we can root that?

Also, please go here and request a forum for this device so we can get some development input

When I tried KingRoot, the app would state that it successfully rooted the device; however if you tried su via terminal or even using a root verifier app, it was not. Now maybe you did find success somehow with using it. What version of Android is your Pro 10 operating with? How did you verify root?

Thank you. Will try it out after work and let you know if it worked.
Forgot to type this out before, but I've also been experimenting with trying to unlock the bootloader on my tablet through the adb interface so that I can use kingo since I saw an earlier post saying it worked. Of course I had to try, and kept running into the "recovery partition doesn't support flash" error. So far no luck in cracking the bootloader tho.

Sorry if I sent multiple replies, was have issues with XDA. Let me know how you progress with your work on the bootloader. I have not had opportunity to tinker with that on this device. I am hoping someone comes up with a custom recovery though so that we can tinker without worrying too much about bricking.

Got the download installed and ran it. Now have new apps, but no new functionalitys. Looking like my best bet is going to be unlocking the bootloader and seeing if I can somehow use that to force the device to support flashing via fastboot then trying kingo

Well root wouldn't give you any new functionality per sey other than having permissions. Have you verified that you do or don't have root access? Does the 'su' command work in terminal?

Digiland 10.1 (DL101Q) Root, install Lollipop ?

Hey guys - I just went to best buy and ended up buying 3 of the Digiland 10.1 Tablets they had on sale for $70. Going to give them to my nieces for X-Mas (ages 11, 13,14). Dose anyone know how to root this device and install Android 5.0 Lollipop ?
I'd like to update these 3 before i give it to them. Thanks!

Bump, I am also using the digiland 10.1 from best buy... Successfully rooted, but looking for the best way to install custom rom without bricking? Thanks in advance.

I used root genius on Windows and it worked very easily... Hoping for custom recovery but I'm only intermediate with these things so I'm not sure where to go from here.

I bought one of these from best buy and would be very interested in all info available on rooting, custom recovery, and compatible roms for this device. I registered just for this thread. lol.

I rooted with the root genius for windows. Super easy took about 20 mins. Make sure you use the download from shuame.com though. Follow the directions

review?
Since you guys are using tablet.. What's your thoughts of it so far?
I'm sure someone on her knows of a rom to use.

That site is in what appears to be chinese, even translated its...hard to tell what is going on. No worries the thing doesnt even get here till the 11th of Dec.

Ummm what?

the site he listed, its in chinese
but regardless many reviews on bestbuy are saying it comes rooted anyway.

So did anyone get a custom rom working yet?

So far I like the quality of the tablet. I also brought three tablets one being the Digiland for myself and it is a very nice tablet. I just rooted mines as well through Root Genius. It's already on 4.4 so going from kitkat to lollipop isn't a huge deal to me. I'm using Buzz Menu as my home launcher and I Really like it! One of the biggest things I look to find in a rom for this device is multi-window.

Windows XP drivers help
I'm really liking this tablet as well.
I've been trying to root it with Root Genius as well, but unfortunately I've come across a road block.
I'm using a windows xp computer and I can't seem to find any driver for the tablet when you insert it in dev mode into the PC.
It asks for "MT65xx android" drivers and despite hours of searching on the net yesterday, all the drivers I have found online get rejected during the install driver process. I point the driver install to the right folder with the unzipped XP drivers, then it just fails and states it hasn't found matching drivers in there... I tried and found like 10+ websites with no luck.
Has anyone rooted it through a Windows XP computer? If someone could help me find the right matching drivers, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, I'm happy to hear people like this tablet, since I'm giving them as gifts.

"MT65xx Android Phone" driver
It turns out that most of the drivers I was trying must have been "MT65xx Preloader" drivers (the driver that is required when connecting the tablet when it is turned off).
Could anyone who has successfully rooted theirs point me towards a valid "MT65xx Android Phone" driver for Windows XP? That seems to be the name of the driver required when the device is turned on and with usb debugging turned on (the state required for Root Genius to work). Google hasn't returned a valid one for me yet since most sites tend to get the "preloader" and "android phone" drivers mixed up or poorly labeled, it seems that all the ones I found fall in the earlier category.

Rooted
ok so I have the thing rooted with root genius. Still looking for a rom, I have also noticed that this device seems to have a 2Gb partition and then the rest of the 16Gb in another partition. Is there a way to repartition this? Im a PC tech but very new to android. This site has been very informative so far.

I have rooted and downloaded the Original ROM for the DigiLand 10.1 running 4.4.2. I am currently attempting to load Lollipop on the system.

Can you please post the link to the original ROM, I have thus far been unable to find it.
Thanks

My first one did the wireless update after Rooting with root genius and bricked. Probably just bad download. Got replacement and updated and rooted, but having to use kinguser because of the issues supersu has with access to root from SD. Flawed for some mtk devices I have found. Lucky patcher and titanium backup won't work properly with supersu. Does anyone know if superuser has the same problem?

Trying to root Kyocera Hydro Wave model C6740N

Title pretty much says it all. I've tried countless one click root programs with no progress whatsoever. I've spent hours searching and nothing comes up for this phone. Does anyone know a way to root this thing??

same here, a guy who works for kyocera told me that this model cant be put into recovery mode. Any help appreciated

I'm joining the request. As stated above, I've combed the web for anything on it with no success. Is this because of the fairly new release? Or possibly the trouble they're in because of Microsoft?
Either way I feel there should be an exploit out for it by now...

I too am looking fir an exploit for this device, and have scoured Google, Bing, and Yahoo, only to find nothing.

This model (Hydro Wave C6740N) CAN be put into Recovery Mode, using ADB.
Since Windows (edit: XP) USB drivers for the C6740N Wave are not released by Kyocera (yet), you (edit: can) use a Linux or OS X machine to connect using USB, to use ADB on the C6740N. (Since USB connection to C6740N "just works" on those platforms.)
I have used ADB on a Macbook running OS X to reboot my Hydro Wave into Recovery Mode, and performed cache wipe successfully. Also performed backups using ADB.
Kyocera advised (via email) that the Wave can be put into Recovery using Volume Down + Power key combo. Not true, the key combo does not work.
Kyocera also advised (via chat) that the Windows USB driver for any Hydro family device will work for the Wave. Also not true (I tried it). (Edit: I tried the drivers with Windows XP. It looks like the Kyocera Windows USB drivers may simply be USB modem drivers only, on any case.)
OS X or Linux using ADB is the ticket, no USB driver necessary. (Edit: But see other posts about using Windows 10 too.)
I'm also keenly interested in rooting the C6740N, but an absolute noob. The C6740N has a lot going for it, but a few shortcomings that root would enable resolving. If anyone knows of a way to root it, we would be most grateful to hear about it.

Tried about everything else too and nothing works

There's a working driver in Windows 10, but KingoRoot still fails. I almost tried King Root, but it's all in Chinese. I was going to try Framaroot but gave up when the download link resulted in an endless survey loop to win a free $100 Visa card (yeah....... GO F**K YOURSELF). I really want to root this thing. MetroPCS has this thing loaded full of bloatware and the Google BS I never use (google+ MUST DIE) is just eating storage space and what tiny bit of RAM is left. It's a nice phone but the inability to overclock the CPU, delete bloatware, and turn my 4GB SD Card into RAM really leaves alot to be desired.

The phone can be put into recovery using adb on windows.but that's as far as that goes.Cant find any way to root.Hope we get one soon.

So I think we should make a list of what root methods that did not work. That way we wont get hassled of what does not work

Kingo Root: FAIL
Towelroot: FAIL
Framaroot: UNKNOWN
King Root: UNKNOWN (Can't read Chinese)

Could you use a kill file that would reset all data including disabling some things

Root genius fails
King root fails
Kingoroot fails
Iroot fails
Framaroot fails
Towelroot fails
I'm thinking you gotta unlock the boot loader , but I can't put into fast boot mode or boot onto the boot loader for any adb fastboot commands to work. I can get to recovery in adb , and in the recovery menu I select boot to boot loader but it boots normally. I really want to root this thing!!

I just noticed that they're are any way to root the latest lolipop unless your on 5.0.2 ( BTW I checked kingroot and checked the request of our device and its almost to 1000

If he rooted the phone he sent the reply from, he's unfortunately in the wrong thread. The C6530N is the Hydro Life. We're trying to root the C6740N which is the Hydro Wave. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
On the other hand, if he's using the Hydro Life to post in the forum but has successfully rooted the Hydro Wave, we would all love to know just how you did it. My Hydro Wave is running worse than an Alcatel Evolve on the stock setup. We need root badly.

Speaking of root exploits such as Framaroot, see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...droid_users_creates_hijackable_global_botnet/
Which links to the original exposé:
https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html
...which notes that this Android botnet malware uses Framaroot and other root exploits. I wonder if some of these Chinese root exploit tools themselves (Framaroot, Kingoroot, etc.) carry a hidden malware payload.
....

Hi I've tried everything also but I also tried this program for tablets called zuse toolkit & it seems to get something through cause it reboots & optimizes or upgrade apps I'm not too sure which one but if someone out there knows how to modifie the way this zuse toolkit roots then maybe we have a chance of rooting this new phone oh & after it optimizes or upgrades the apps I check for root permissions and it still says it does not have root permissions so yea...

[Resolved] Alcatel A460G Rooting Trouble - a lost cause.

I've totally given up on this & explain in my last post, below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start with I wish to say a few things to be as clear as possible:
I have been visiting here for a couple of years already, but never registered because frankly - I was intimidated. I am not a dev, or a coder - I am merely a guy who enjoys tinkering a bit - and I have discovered how much fun cheap Android devices can be.
Lately a chain store has an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (TCL) from tracfone.
It has a nice 4" screen, Android 4.4.2 and better specs than my LG L34C - so I got it.
Searched extensively and the closest info I found was here at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...icial-t3193624
It seemed to root with Kingo Root - but only temporarily and its Superuser doesn't work very well at all.
Even tried the method here - but it starts & never completes:
http://androidxda.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
I really want to root this phone and would be happy even if I must use the app to re-install V4.3 from here:
http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-en...0126103150.rar
Also, there is a great bit of info posted here with a de-bloated stock ROM & recovery - but how can I flash it if it will not fully root and/or SU does not work ??
It seems most likely this phone has its bootloader locked by tracfone, and that maybe it is what stops it from rooting - but I do not know enough to be sure.
Any pointers to good help will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks.

Also...
I tried Kingroot on this Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar (A460G, TCL, mt6582) running 4.4.2 .
It took a few tries (as suggested) and seemed to do...something - but not enough.
I very much hope some tool or something comes along soon that will allow full access to the file system on this phone as it really seems to be a very nice device.
Best Wishes to All.

Post what you can here as working via PM or email does not help anyone else facing the same issues.
Please Post. screenshots (or links to images), logs (from mdrt and spflashtool)(Just add .txt to the end if they do not have it) , The Android mt6582 scatter.txt that mdrt produced. :good:
Can you also please clarify your exact model as there seems to be different versions
Mediatek MT6572M (3G model)
Qualcomm MSM8909 (4G model)

This likely goes against the spirit of this place, but:
After quite literally wasting days trying to get past all the restrictions on this phone I've given up.
There are 2 major things which seem apparent to me from this experience=>
1 - Tracfone has made it impossible to root this phone - or at least so difficult as not to be worth it;
2- Kitkat is just plain nasty because of all the excessive restrictions it has.
End result here is that I have managed to get most everything I desired in another phone instead.
It is an Alcatel C1 AT&T Gophone.
It rooted in a minute, takes my CC sim card and instantly connects to my home Wifi.
After all this I've listed the A460G for sale, cheaply and if it does not sell that is OK as its charger & battery are the same as my new phone's and it can be used as an outside battery charger if/when I swap out batteries.
Conclusions:
- Avoid Tracfone...they and their products are just evil;
- Avoid Kitkat whenever possible or be prepared to fight it for any decent use a'tall.
Thanks for taking the time to read my query.

Hi,
Also got a Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G that I would like to root. I DL CPU-X and CPU-Z and both listed the Soc as a dual core 1.3GHz Mediatek MT6582.
Searching using "Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G" this was the only post I found.
While I have never Rooted any Android phone am willing to spend some time searching for other rooting apps and hope to be successful with some guidance from more experienced members.
Recently I have changed my search to "root MT6582" and have found a few posts that claim to be able to root any listed MediaTek hardware.

I think I tried that one, but cannot be 100% certain as my list got messed up at one point.
Is yours also a tracfone ??
Seems to me that most of my problems were because of how tracfone locked it down so badly.
I will be very curious to see what you post back about your device and your success; please do tell how it goes ??
Addendum=>
This "Graphical Auto Root tool" is something that instantly 'updates' then morphs into root genius, which did not work for my phone at all.
Thanks.

Hi vtsnaab,
Yes mine is a TracFone.
Searched using "Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar" and all I found was TracFone.
"Seems to me that most of my problems were because of how tracfone locked it down so badly" "After quite literally wasting days trying to get past all the restrictions on this phone I've given up." "I will be very curious to see what you post back about your device and your success; please do tell how it goes ??" As previously mentioned, I have never done this so will keep searching until find a post that has been successful.
Wonder if this same phone is sold under different brand names or networks?
Since this is a Chinese Soc am guessing if anyone has been able to Root it the post will be in Chinese. Since I am not fluent, hope some others are!
Regards
Ken

IMO, rooting is not really optional; most pre-paid devices I've ever seen or used are too crapped up as sold & therefore rather useless unless they can be de-crapified after successful rooting.
With a tool that actually works fully - it is usually quite simple from those I have done myself.
The Chinese ones I've seen & tried usually pretty obvious once opened; they connect visibly, and it has been obvious, like having a big button to click on, then wait for success or failure.
A couple of rooting tools have recently updated, but right now I am not eager to waste any more time fooling around with the very pretty glorified battery charger called 'A460G'.
Maybe if it sits & gathers dust for a time here someone will have an ah-hah moment with one & it will get resurrected, else - no biggie for me for it to sit around.
Best Wishes KenithO in your quest.
Please post back here with what you may learn ??
Thanks.

A quick search led me to this thread here and kingroot seems to work but only temporarily. I'm guessing temporarily would mean after a reboot, the root is gone. Root the phone and make a backup of recovery.img and boot.img (kernel) with the Flashify app.
Common ways of rooting if one-click methods don't work are flashing a custom recovery and then flashing SuperSU. You will need to generate a scatter file for your device then make a backup with SmartPhoneFlashTool (SPFT).

Why will you not say how it was done? Help a guy out, please...

Generally speaking as a non-dev, this site has become less & less useful as time has passed - and that 'evil' poster is helping nobody - just making board spam.
This used to be THE place to find the best info when one wanted to gain root access.
Since the makers have come up with ever worse & worse ways to lock down their krapware there is less & less hope to gain root access anymore, basically, to sum it all up as an over-simplified generality:
If Kingo or Kingroot will not work on most any post-Kitkat device, then that's that - and even if one of those DOES work, there's a strong likelihood of being stuck with their krapware because a great deal of the time the only 'cure' for it is SuperSU-Me, and it fails quite often.
But - not to worry...
Once there are landfills with huge piles of orphaned/broken devices I'm sure someone will come up with clever ways to make them into Big Macs or something else equally useful & toxic !!
For me - the Android journey has mostly turned into keeping a list of what is useless and/or a waste of time; Alcatel & Tracfone are VERY high up that list of things & companies to avoid.

As of today's date (11-24-16) I was able to fully root my Alcatel One Touch Pixi (A460G) TracFone, running 4.4.2 KitKat, in about 5 minutes using the latest version of KingoRoot (v1.4.8.2793) with USB Debugging (PC->Phone) after two tries. Everything seems to be working: SD read/write, BusyBox, etc. The only thing I wish I could figure out now is how to replace KingoRoot's featureless default SU app with SuperSU.
If KingoRoot doesn't succeed the first time, keep trying. The second, third or fourth try usually gets it on the more difficult devices. Hope this helps someone in the future.
EDIT: PLEASE DISREGARD. See my followup post below.

I regretfully recant my earlier statement above and sincerely apologize if I mistakenly offered any others false hope. I was fooled into believing my A460G was rooted because of the strange way it mounts internal & external storage. It seems that the A460G views the external SD card as internal storage & the internal storage as an external card which allows full read/write access to the external SD card out of the box.
Currently, I am still looking for a way to root this phone. AlcatelROOT.com has nothing whatsoever on the Pixi Pulsar (A460G), neither does Google or Yahoo it seems. I am open to suggestions.
EDIT: I also request that the forum mods remove the "[RESOLVED]" tag in the subject line of this thread as the A460G has not, thus far, been successfully rooted that any of us are aware of. Thanks.

In theory, if we had a custom recovery, we could just flash recovery and install supersu. Right?

sorry bud but you would still need to unlock the bootloader somehow before flashing a recovery which would mean you need to root it first or find an exploit

This phone can be rooted by first unlocking the bootloader as I did con a zte prestige phone locked to sprint/boost thanks to "farkin genius" Mr. Hroark13, the solución, it's on these forums. Afaik, it's an ADB command done while connecting phone to pc and it should work. Haven't tried it yet. Look up
"zte prestige temp root achieved xda".
It could be your ticket to rooting this bastard. Shame con you Alcatel and tracfone + bigbrother.
"This was found by me (Hroark13),I can not believe it was this easy
To turn off nand / system write protection on the ZTE ZMAX and maybe other phones
run this command in adb shell or terminal
reboot disemmcwp
to re-enable write protection issue this command
reboot emmcwpenab
I AM A FARKING GENIUS"
Massive credit goes to Mr. Hroark13
So basically use this command and then use ur favorite way to root and same as usual. Bada-boom Bada-bing permanent root. Restarted 10 times and never lost root.

Fusion5 108 octa core android 5.1 10.6" tablet

Im getting the above named tablet in 2 days from amazon. I cant find any solid information about rooting this device. Does anyone know if it can be done and/or how to do this? I was going to just try kingo root on it when I got it but any info you can give me would be appreciated.

I recommend kingroot instead of kingoroot though.

Yep, that worked

..

I'm sorry I open this up again but I don't think I need an extra thread for this.
May I ask if you used the pc version of kingroot to root it or the apk file?
May I ask for the download link aswell if its the apk to compare it?
I have the fusion5 108 myself with android 6.0.1 and both versions don't seem to work.
Pc gives me this (chinese) popup telling me (as far as I can tell) to accept the connection on the tablet, but nothing pops up.
3rd party tools/apps and usb debugging are both enabled
The apk app seems to be in a loop while "checking" for over 30min now.
EDIT: Feel stupid coz I didn't read properly. I just realized you are using android 5.1.
Anyway, any possible advice for me?
Any help is appreciated
EDIT2: So my particular problem is that the device is not asking to allow the pc connection.
Working on it now. I don't see the option to revoke USB debugging authorization in the developer options. Will see how to find it on android 6.

Just try kingroot .apk on it. That should work. No promises ?

Anyone have any joy? I heard king root and kingo worked on this device running Android 5 but mine is running Android 6 and I have tried all methods in can think of to root it to no avail.

I am trying to root the same device. Fusion5 108 10.6 android 5.1 lollipop
Tried kingoroot, it kept locking up.
Tried kingroot and it gets near the end and locks up.
When I reboot it seems to continue where it left off but then fails.
My question is when using kingroot and it seems to lock up at the end,
how much time should I give it before I decide it's locked up?

? Maybe 10 min. Give it 20 just to be sure.

anyone get this rooted yet, got same tablet on 6.0.1 got no luck getting the RSA to come up as well.
cheers

Any luck
Anyone have any luck rooting the 6.0.1 version yet?

Stock rom anyone?
Anyone know where I can get the stock ROM for Fusion5 108 tablet? Can't find it anywhere, and the only compatible ROMs I've found for another brand of tablet is Android 4.4 and 5.1, and they result in a reversed x-axis on the touchscreen and the full size USB port is not recognized. I know I am off-topic, but Fusion5 considers letting me download the ROM to flash it myself "warranty service" even though I would be doing all the work, so I'm kinda desperate..
