Hello,
I recently purchased a used RCA Viking 2 on auction. After doing a factory reset i realized that i cant use my own gmail account to use the tablet and obviously i cant trace down previous owner. I did some bypass research and nothing worked for me. Any advice on what should i do at this point would be gratefully appreciated. Is rooting the tablet is the only option here? If so then could you please point me to the how to guide for RCA Viking 2 as I noticed that it will be different then Samsung or some other tablets.
Thanks in advance...

The are several known exploits for bypassing the Google Factory Reset Protection (FRP) lock on Android devices. Of course, as Google learns about these exploits (from people boasting on YouTube mainly), security patches are rolled out via OTA updates to patch the loopholes. So, the possibility of bypassing a FRP lock on your particular device will depend greatly on your Android Security Patch Level. But, since you have no access to your device due to the lock, you will be forced to guesstimate this.
My best advice in your situation would be to visit youtube.com and peruse RootJunky's video tutorials on FRP bypassing (you will of course see tutorials by braggarts, trolls, psychiatric patients and total bull****!tters). RootJunky is legit and his methods have both baffled and infuriated Google for years now. If you cannot find your exact device model, try for a similar model running the same version Android OS. Oftentimes, a single method will work on a multitude of devices of the same OEM. (For example, at one time, RootJunky discovered an exploit which would bypass FRP on virtually any Samsung device.) So, if you don't see the RCA Viking II, search for another RCA branded tablet running on the same version OS. In closing, I'm certainly not saying that there are not other solid and confirmed tutorials for bypassing FRP; I'm merely saying that RootJunky's methods are legit, simple to follow, and very effective. Good luck...
No offense intended, but you basically typed a lot of words and said nothing. The info you provided is generic, basic and useless in this thread. Why bother to post without an even remotely related model specific info?
(of course why should I bother criticizing if I have no answer = touche)

你好，
我最近在拍卖会上购买了二手 RCA Viking 2。恢复出厂设置后，我意识到我无法使用自己的 gmail 帐户来使用平板电脑，而且显然我无法追踪以前的所有者。我做了一些旁路研究，但对我没有任何作用。任何关于我此时应该做什么的建议将不胜感激。生根平板电脑是这里唯一的选择吗？如果是这样，那么请您指点我如何指导 RCA Viking 2，因为我注意到它会与三星或其他一些平板电脑不同。
提前致谢...

Does a comprehensive and plain english list exist anywhere that tells who is who and why they have a security certificate installed on my android phone?
I've asked this before and never found an answer. I find it odd that it isn't questioned and recently when installing FoxFi, it was made more poignant when many became up in arms about the FoxFi cert and the notification that some unknown entity could be monitioring activity. FoxFi is pretty clear about why that cert is there and I can't say that for the factory installed ~200 certs.
Also, is there a comprehensive list anywhere that tells what factory installed and system apps do? Many have very obscure names and even names which are quite misleading upon actually discovering what they really do. I'm sure I can't be the only one that would like to know exactly which apps are safe to freeze, disable or uninstall and upon doing so, what functionality will be lost or what other apps will no longer work, if any.
I think Google needs to step things up in these two areas so people can actually know. The work in the area of app permissions is a step in that direction, but, still a long way from full and forthright disclosure aimed at educating all android device owners.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.
Hmmmmm.... its merely about the desire to know why every android I've owned for coming on ten years now has security certs installed belonging to the DOD, Japanese Government, Experia, Equifax and many more that I have no idea who they are unless I want to research each and everyone of them. Even doing so in most cases still doesn't reveal why those entities have a cert on my phone and what it actually means. I wonder what happens if they are removed and why they are there in the first place.
As far as the many pre-installed apps that I can't imagine many people having a clue as to why they are installed or what they actually do, well, that kinda speaks for itself as well.
Nobody else wonders or does everyone else but me already know?
However, in the mean time, I'll refine my quest to changing permissions and any insightful threads on that for dummies would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything relating to your question on XDA, it's probably best to ask here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
No response in two days, thread closed.
Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting as I've done many devices, but I have to say the project I have now seems impossible. ...
I have and Android double din radio that I purchased of of Ebay, it says it is running android 4.4.4 jelly bean...It has so many restrictions, I can't access bluetooth settings/but will connect to any cellphone with no problems. ..and the USB access is very limited as the manufacturer seems to have hidden these features to make more profit on THERE OWN OBDII sacanners and tv box etc that you HAVE to purchase from them ONLY!, or those features WILL NOT work....
I love the fact that I have android in my car but this limited access is very annoying.
ANY help would be appropriated, thanx!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and it's difficult to direct you towards a specific thread since you give so few details about your device but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the dedicated "Android Auto" Forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/, maybe in the "Android Head Units" subforum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you.
Good luck!
got it!
I did end up rooting it!...I used (Root Checker) and I am officially rooted...
But, I am still having a problem finding away to access the Bluetooth menu in settings/wireless & networks....
Any ideas?

Hello again.
On a traditional Android device, Bluetooth is typically an entry under "Network Connections" or a similarly named menu. As mentioned earlier we cannot provide technical support here on XDA Assist, but if you ask in the forums mentioned earlier, another member may be able to assist you.
Once again, good luck!

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?
Hi Guys,
I'm a noobie when it comes to fixing problems on my phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, model SM-N986W and have been encountering an error which states "net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED". This happens when I want to get onto my official employer's website. I have tried to find solutions on YouTube which are available aplenty but are beyond my level of understanding. I need step by step instructions starting from which software to use, which settings to put where, how to feed the corrections to the phone software etc. Could some great member of this great forum take the time out to guide me or guide me to a video meant for a noobie which describes on how to correct the problem. I feel very irritated when I cant access my official website. Please help guys. Your help will be extremely appreciated. My current software version is N986WVLS1ATJ5 / N986WOYV1ATJ5 / N986WVLS1ATJ5
Samsung - 65" Class - 7 Series - 4K UHD TV - Smart - LED - with HDR Model # UN65TU7000FXZA
Just curious if there is anyone who knows if there's anything that can be done to this smart tv such as root, jailbreak, etc.???
I apologize if this is in the wrong thread or if it's not okay to ask about TVs on XDA!!! I love XDA & respect the rules so I did look...I just didn't see anything banning this type of question!
Thanks!

Lol XDA is a place meant to share root methods. And TVs are welcome!
Quick reminder:
Jailbreak=iPhone=Finding Exploit to elevate privilege and modify device=Apple do not condone
Root=Android=Using provided tool to fully control your device=Google 100% condone (and even adapt their google play security certifications for ROM users)
Your smart TV is unfortunately on Tizen, this is another OS than Android, that is used for samsung smartwatch and is only used by samsung (since they're the creator).
Read this:
Spoiler: Quick History
Back in the days Samsung launched a smartphone to concurrence Android, the phone was the Samsung Wave, and it was running Bada OS (and I had one).
Big flop, it had no apps on the appstore. The phone, even though it was good, was just isolated on its little island, forever. The last wave was the Wave 3, nothing after...
Bada OS didn't disappeared, this os took another name: Tizen. It is now used your other samsung things, they had time to develop it better, but I don't think it'll resurface in the smartphone market ever again...
Now that you know the story, you'll know better how to search. Here's the link of the XDA section for Tizen.
Have a good day

So does that mean there are no hacks or roots for Samsung TVs in general?

I personally admit that i know little about the subject..but i read that most smart tvs (dont know if Samsung is one of them) detect your location and pick the app store market based on the first time you connect to the internet after software reset... your ipaddress is ofcourse can reveal your country so if you want another store market than your country, lets say u want US app store you have to let it connect to an access point such as a router that has built in vpn and get it ready and enabled to US ipaddress , when you reset the tv and it connects to that access point it will think its in the US.. there is probably also software on computers that can make a vpn activated hotspot ...
I honestly don’t know if this method is still valid or not... I would like someone to confirm...

Have a look at SamyGo forum. They rooted and modded many Samsung TV firmwares beginning with the A series... Now they are testing root for the N/QN and they are investgating vulnerabilities on the R/QR. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

And what is the use of rooting or modifying the firmware?
Would it also be possible to root or modify the firmware of my Samsung TV (QN55Q60AAKXZL)? And if possible, could you explain the process to me please?
Thanks.
