I bought Cube iWork 3G tablet,recently.
I am trying to root it,but I cannot enable USB debuggging.
Please,check the attached fotos about DEVELOPER OPTIONS and ABOUT TABLET.
Regards
no option to turn on usb debugging
I also recently received the iwor8 3g dual boot tablet.
I'm in the same boat as you. No option to turn it on. Disabled by default.
I wrote the distributor about it, this is their response.
"Today we called the factory, they told, the iwork8 don't have the function.
The iwork8 tablet itself is a computer, one computer can't connect with another computer with USB cable.
The USB port only have host mode, not have client mode.
Very very sorry for this "
In addition to this, i can't get my PC to see the tablet. I've downloaded drivers but that didn't help, as th pc can't see it. Do you have this issue as well?
I read on the chinese forum http://bbs.51cube.com/en/forum.php of a rom with root that fixes it. I think thats what it said, it doesn't translate well… I'm still trying to decipher it all.

I clicked on your link but couldn't find the rom with root tha fixes the problem.Could you please send another link?
Please,inform me for any solution because I want to root this tablet
Thanks for your help
thanks for link. I'll try it later....after I try padnet-if padnet doesn't work.
Somewhere, can't find it anymore.. I read someone was able to get the drivers installed using padnet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983470
I haven't had the chance to try it, but I will.
Here is the link for the ROM/Root thread in the Chinese forum. Notice it is for the iwork8 super edition. But as best as I can tell, it works for our's too. But don't take my word for it, lol. Do some research there first..

When I told you about " I cannot translate correctly..." I meant google translation.Chinese to Greek translation is useless.
I have asked for help in http://freaktab.com.This site has "cube tablet forum".
I tried pdanet....it needs usb debugging,as well
Lol. Oh. Yes, google translate isn't very good with chinese. It takes some figuring out.
I have an account on freaktab. I looked through the forum there, didn't see anything. I'll check it out again, maybe one of the developers there can make us something we need.

So far,it seems nothing is a ready-solution for us.Except probaply from that chinese custom ROM.But we need translation for this
If you know any developer anywhere who could make something suitable for us,then ask him for a custom rooted ROM.But how we would install this rooted ROM without debugging?The chinese ROM in your link, how is installed?
The only think I made.,was to boot in SAFE MODE by pressing(if I remember) VOL- while android OS was booting.Did you manage anything else?
Also,win8.1 OS allows mobile data…… that is nice and we must not loose it
Waiting for hopefull news
:good:
The custom rom is flashed ('brushed' is 'Flashed' translated by google) with a flashing tool specifically for our cube tablet. A lot of tablets use flashing tools, there's one for ainol tablets, tablets with rockchips ((my hisense vidaa is rk3288), just two examples. When the rom isn't a flashable zip. So, based on what I was able to decipher, this tool loads the .Img files individually, therefore you replace the factory .Img file/files with the modified ones that root the tablet. Also, I believe the modified ones added or removed some apps. Not sure what else was changed. I didn't read anything about a custom recovery. I believe, but not sure, the modified system.Img file you flash in the tool has usb debugging enabled. <------ I think.
I could not get into recovery or fastboot. Only safe mode. Which appeared useless.
Till later!
thanks for keeping me in the loop.

So,you have translated,more or less, this Chinese link.
Do you think you could flash this ROM with success?
Probably youre waiting for replies on your web-questions before trying this chinese solution
Till now,no more news.
First, I have to figure out how to download the package, then decipher the tutorials, install the tools needed, then yes, the plan is to flash it.
It could take me a few days…

fastboot
Hi ail3iou, last night i was able to find fastboot using the power and both volume keys together. But it only brings up the screen for a few seconds, then the tablet boots up.
Can you try it for me, please, and see if it responds the same way for you?
Place your finger right in the center of the volume key and press, this presses both + and - at the same time, and then the power button too. Hold them down. First you' ll see cube in chinese, the screen goes black, then small white letters that say "entering x?? Mode. Waiting on fastboot commamds" then for me, it dissappears and the tablet boots.
I've tried a few fancy finger movememts trying to keep it in fastboot, but no luck. See what you get.
....
l tried what you told me and I got exactly the same things,as you.
I had tried some movements before and I had noticed this notification but I ignored it,as the tablet boots normally in the end.
Noone responded to my email messages.Still waiting...

It got bricked after trying to update through FLASHER 2.1 The ADB Shell on Sony AIO Tool not work. Option 6 Run Shell does nothing. Tablet gets stuck on the S.O.N.Y logo and I can enter the recovery screen, however no access through the USB to my files, already try the factory reset and still nothing. I would even consider installing the official firmware even if a lose root. I don't have the_hack_recovery.zip or any key. What can I do? I've been looking for solutions for over two days now.
I tried running the signed-nbx03_016-ota-120803071.zip and it didn't work, I'm looking everywhere for the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip which should work for me, since my tablet was bought in the U.S. but it isn't available anywhere. I can't access the tablet through the ADB Shell, I press option 6 on the main menu and it does nothing. When I'm in the recovery mode I can see windows asking for drivers for a device named Sony, but none of the adb drivers work. If I go to the Sony logo I have it recognizes the MTP USB device and it looks ok for about 40 sec. and then it puts the yellow exclamation mark. I really need to get this tablet fix,
I'm willing to donate $40.00 through paypal to the person that helps me restore it.
You have to reinstall your firmware and wipe ure tab there is a thread on here that has all firmware from every country

Thanks for your reply, I already tried it with all the U.S. firmwares available in that threat. The one I think should work is the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip and I can't find it anywhere.

I am uploading that file as i type. Since you have done a factory reset..... USB debugging would have reset to default (off) so even if you manage to install the drivers, USB debugging will NOT work.
I had the same (well similar) issue, it was stuck on the boot animation and although it was caused by different things I could not fix it and had to send it to Sony. Good news though, they did not noo I messed with it and repaired it free and IT SHOULD BE BACK TODAY
I feel this file is your only hope. I will reply when I have the link

YES, only Sony can fix it.
I also faced the similar trouble one month ago.
And they free for me to replace the motherboard without any inquiries but my device's situations.
When they asked what I did, I said, nothing was done just suddenly can not boot, and force to restore the factory can't be solved the problem in the recovery mode. Okay! They said, just waiting less than 3 days. 3 days later, they sent a text message, and told me to pick up Tablet.
But a little guilt in my heart because I rooted my device and deleted a system file without rescue-backdoor.
I have spent a week sifting this forum and was unsuccessful in answering my own question. Please guide me as I am a NOOB to Android. Or straight up tell me I gotta send this in to Sony.
I bought this Xperia Tablet 2 in May. LOVE it! Made no Root mods, totally stock. Updated to 4.1.1 - OK! Updated to 4.1.1 release2 - issues.
Within a week, the tablet would shut off in the middle of Paper Monster and web browsing. I would restart and everything was fine, for a while. Then it shut down and would not boot back up. Sticks on SONY.
Tried soft reset, no luck. Tried Recovery (very hard to get into, fails 80% of the time to enter) no luck, still sticks on SONY.
So I don't have access to put the USB Debugging feature on, and its not rooted so 6.5 All-in-One can't help me (at least not in my current NOOB status)
I did purchase a brand new SGPT122 to replace this one, but have not set it up in hopes maybe someone could tell me how to copy the OS or RECOVERY off of it and install it on my SGPT121 to revive it.
Whats my next step?

Option 1 send to Sony tell them issues and ask for downgrade in firmware. They will probably say it is not possible.
Option 2 root and use AiO tool to install rescure back-door then you can install JB r1. You can then unroot and have it as stock.

OK I have been attempting this all evening. I cannot get my computer to recognize the tablet. That is because I cannot enable USB Debugging because I cannot get past the SONY screen, right? Or is there another way to root?
It appears I can only access the Recovery Screen, and it does not like the version of OTA.zip I have. I have not found Recovery ROMS for this tablet.
I really appreciate your time, Thank You.

Adb should still be available in recovery wether usb debugging is on or not. Is it asking for a driver at all?
If you had the latest update installed then. You wont be able to install anything and it will need to go to sony.

Check your device manager to see if the tablet driver is properly installed, if not, install it. This might help.

Thanks for the help! I called Sony today, they said since the computer doesn't recognize the device and it will only go into recovery sometimes the pad needs service. (I know OF COURSE) But is does stand to reason since I have plugged into multiple PCs and no recognition. They are sending a box for me. I just hope my 32Gb version doesn't tank also.
i finally figured out how to get CWM installed and working, after a couple of months of fighting with it, off and on. so, i guessed that meant i have my bootloader unlocked - "wrong!".
i deleted some thing that wasn't supposed to be deleted, then the damned cell network and lan network stopped working (keeps saying com.android.phone has stopped). so i was going to put cyanogenmod on it, because i thought that i could, and just be done with the whole "missing apps" crap. it turns out "just because you CAN put CM on it doesn't mean you CAN put CM on it". i bricked it. i have NO options to "load" or "flash" or "boot" any thing when the phone is booting up. i would love some clarification as to what i CAN do from here.
i would rather install CM and be done with all of this, but i'll take any advice that gets rid of the problem. the biggest problem is understanding how to put CM on your phone, or to do any thing at all like that, when you cant get into any kind of recovery / boot menu, even though you ARE rooted... i don't care if i have to install cyanogenmod or some one else's CWM backup, i just don't know HOW to do it - especially with no windows (only linux). it's a rooted p769v20d (originally p769v10g).
thanks

i was going to try some stuff mentioned in other threads, but i don't have access to a windows computer - and i don't think i need to root my phone again any way, considering it is still rooted.
i would love some clarification, and assistance, as to what i CAN do from here. i am rooted, i don't care if i have to install cyanogenmod or some one else's CWM backup, i just don't know HOW to do it - especially with no windows (only linux). it's a rooted p769v20d (originally p769v10g).
fwiw, regarding the mysterious deleted app:
i lose my internet signal as soon as it says "com.android.phone has stopped", then i get it back again right before it says that message again - it ALSO shows a cell-phone signal right before that message. this repeats over and over and over every few seconds - aggravating as hell...
here's the apps that i still have installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45774770
again, i would rather install CM and be done with all of this, but i'll take any advice that gets rid of the problem. the biggest problem is understanding how to put CM on your phone, or to do any thing at all like that, when you cant get into any kind of recovery / boot menu, even though you ARE rooted...

Nice thread title. That is how I am feeling right now with this phone. I feel like calling tech care and yell at them for a bit to vent. Anyway, why not install fastboot for Linux and flash the ics u and x? I uploaded my u and x folder in the Unlock Bootloader for Noobs thread. Then, flash the 20h.....oh, dang.... sorry. Forgot.... no Windows. Maybe do the built-in restore by holding the volume down, home and power keys?

thanks, but i think i finally got it working. i never knew, after all this time, that after you do the l9recoveryinstaller, at the reboot, there are no cues to tell when when to hit some buttons, and it's not clear what buttons to hit. here's what i did, and, so far, its progress:
1: be rooted
2: install busy box, completely
3: install l9recoveryinstaller
4: reboot
5: after you see the LG logo, hold vol-down until you see the flashing lights (i thought you see the flashing lights and THEN you hit vol-down, but i was wrong).
still fighting to get a rooted rom installed ...
if i choose "install zip from external sdcard" is says:
"finding update ... opening update ... installing update ...installation aborted".
if i choose "restore" instead of "install" it will not let me select any thing, it just keeps saying file not found, when i try to select any further options, whether "restore" or "restore from external sdcard" or "advanced restore from external sdcard". and i already checked to make sure the sdcard was mounted...

I think your phone bootloader is locked, you cannot flash any custom rom zip file. It will soft brick your phone.
Please restore P769 CWM back from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136204. Download backup file and unbzip it. Put extract files in your sdcard /clockworkmod/backup/2013-08-30.12.00.00 folder. Extract file should contain several .img, .tar, .a, .log and .md5

i don't have a windows computer. looks like i'm out a 350$ phone. lesson learned. never will cease to be amazed that so many mobile hackers are using windows... seems like they would be linux users too... that would be awesome, because then there are likely to be linux tools to do this with... and i don't have a windows img to load into a virtual machine... lucky lucky lucky...

Well correct me if I am wrong, but I guess you "only" deleted some system files, right? Do you remember which ones were the ones? Or at least the folder they were in? Then you only need to extract that stuff from a kdz/ the bin file and push them on your phone using adb or maybe even the dd command.
Maybe if someone is kind enough, he ll probably provide you with the files you need. And cmiiw, but I guess you deleted stuff from /system/app...

Lol, you are a Linux user, you should know how to get your hands on a windows.iso
However, i would recommend using a portable windows xp (bootable usb)
VR is not the best option IMO
You will need this program http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Sorry I can't provide a link to the iso but do a google search for
portable windows xp bootable usb Osheraj

It's depend on what method you use. You can flash kdz using offline method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
or use LG mobile support tools from LG website. If you choose this you don't need to download any kdz. It'll download kdz automatically from LG server then flash it on your phone. It take about an hour or two.

thats awesome - i wonder if i can get by with using that on wine on linux, instead of borrowing a windows computer... i'm gonna try it...
well, the verdict is in, on this one: i'm screwed. i've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried, and i can NOT flash this damned phone. it's BRICKED.
i borrowed / hijacked my brother's computer (windows7), all day. i tried a few different things - i even tried the same way i flashed it to update it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356536 ), which was worthless to unbrick it.
the problem in every case was that every time the damned flasher got so far along it would "lose the connection to the phone". drivers installed, etc, etc, no difference. i suspect its because i couldnt connect it in all the various modes (mtp ptp etc), since the ONLY way it would connect is in "software upgrade mode".
i had to buy another phone, won't have it till tuesday. lesson learned: NEVER buy a phone that didn't come from samsung... you just can't do what you want with them, without a lot of time, patience, experience, and a windows computer.
thanks for all the help.

Did you try to recover your phone with LG mobile support tool. It can reinstall rom in almost any soft-brick case. Please try it if you haven't try it yet. Many people restore their phone by that software. The steps are
- Download LG mobile support tool from LG web site
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run Tool and select recover phone
- Wait about 1-2 hours to download and flash
If it's not hardware problem, this should solve your problem

i never found that on their website, and i looked quite a few times. however, i noticed when i used the b2clientsetup.exe that if i run it without running the shttp server first, that it downloads a support tool from the net, which does not work - keeps saying phone lost connection. not sure if its the same tool.

yeah, that's exactly what i did, but it would keep "losing the connection to the phone". not sure why, but i suspect it was a driver issue - and i installed the latest drivers, which made no difference. i also went back and installed older drivers, which made no difference. i must just be lucky as hell, or some thing .

In my country (RO) there are some GSM Repair Centers. You should not give up and you should go to them. Par example, I flashed an HTC Mozart when the battery was dead and I bricked it (idiot, I know). I went to a shop like the ones mentioned above and I think he said that he has to flash the phone using a JTAG or something like that (I know that he has to open the phone to reach it's motherboard, solder some **** out there and... flash I guess). The whole thing was about ~20E. Anyway, keep digging, maybe you'll eventually find something that works for you. If not, go to someone who can "force flash" it and maybe you can save the device.
Bought a ZTE V965 because it was a special offer and I wanted to give android a try. Nice phone for the money, hardware wise, but software wise it needed some work. No google apps! I rooted the phone with vroot, worked fine. Installed SuperSU and CWM, seemed fine, but CWM is not fully functional. When I boot in restore mode, it doesnt mention CWM, it seems to be the native restore mode.
Tried to install google apps as APK's, but this didnt work. Play store closes instantly. Can't login chrome. Tried to install gapps.zip in recovery mode, error message, not working. I gave the phone a factory reset a few times during all this, and that worked fine.
Then I read a guide for manually installing gapps to the system app folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428314
So I installed root explorer, and put several gapps files in the system app folder:
OneTime Initializer.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
Google Services Framework.apk
Setup Wizard.apk
Gmail.apk
Still not working though, gmail app crashes.
So I wanted to factory reset again, to start with a blank canvas. Big mistake!!! After the factory reset, the google files are not removed! Now when I boot the phone the setup wizard starts and crashes. I haven't found a way to get around it. What makes things worse, the phone is no longer detected when connected to my PC. Before ADB toolkit would detect the phone, no problem. Now nothing.
Any ideas what I can do? All that is necessary (I expect) is that this setupwizard is killed/bypassed/whatever, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I can get into the emergency number dialer, maybe something is possible from there?
Well, as always, immediately after posting, I made some progress! I booted the phone, and got a low battery warning, from which I could access the settings and enable USB debugging. Now I have ADB toolkit connected again. Also, I went into application settings, to kill and disable all these gapps. I managed to do this for all but one, the biggest problem: setupwizard.apk. Maybe because it's running i can't disable it? The option is greyed out. So when I reboot, I still get the setup wizard that crashes.
However, I do have what i believe is a stock ROM (from a chinese website, hard to be sure, but the name suggests it). Might try to flash that one using adb-toolkit.
Finally managed to fix it using linux shell. Killed the setupwizard task, deleted all gapps from system/app, problem solved.
Still would very much like to have working Gapps though. Hopefully this phone will become more popular outside China, so more people will look into flashing it. I've tried, but I can't do it. No fastboot drivers, and the native flash method (putting update.zip on phoen storage) doesn't work. For now I'll stick with the stock ROM and just use it in it's very limited state.
chance you can put a link to that stock ROM you found?

Hello Byte_Me,
I've been looking for weeks how to get GApps on my ZTE V965 and tried everything I could, but each time with a different error. Today you made my day to let me know that I'm not the only one with this problem. Since no-one seems to use this device I wasn't able to find any working tutorial to fix Google Apps on this chinese android. I really hope you can tell me soon how you did this, so I can finally move on. Could you please send the link to your topic when you publish it? Thanks in advance and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEWYEAR!!!

Nice to hear that, it makes the phone a lot more usable, doesnt it?
Any problems? I am still not satisfied, but I guess it's a work in progress.
Annoyances:
- not recognizing callers, some incompatibilities caused by country prefixes in my address book
- no badge notifications on icons, makes it harder too see missed calls, have to look at status bar
- some other stuff i can't think of now

Guys whatever i soft or hard bricked my v965. It's stuck on the opening ZTE logo. I can't get into recovery mode to wipe the cache.
The ZTE drivers are not loading i guess cause its not in usb debugging mode. Been at this hours and i'm lost.
Any advice?
Well, I tried all the "one-click" apps (I don't care if they sell my info) and none work so far...
So it's time to consult XDA. Did it years ago, doin' it now. I'm new here, but you will be happy to know I read all the rules.
Time to fix this chinese piece of crap! This is the only device I own, and I can post all the processor and system info if needed. IDK if the bootload is unlocked or not, but a guy in another post for another RCA tablet mentioned he owned this same one and they said he might not need to unlock it. So IDK. NOTE I HAVE RCT6513W87 WITH NO "M" ON THE END. DIFFERENT MODEL.
So first, what am I gonna need? USB M-2-M?
I don't have any experience using ADB, however.
Don't really know what I'm doing so far.

Yeah, been there. However there should be a way. There's a five second window of opportunity when you have the USB connected, have the PC in the device manager. I'm willing to bet most of the process is the same when it comes to accessing the device according to Smartman Vartans tutorial for the RCA Viking Pro. I have that, the version before it and I have the Galileo, Build Number (RCT6513W87-ANDROID6.0-V21-V1.23.30-W02). It's about time I do something with it. His method is incredibly complex from the looks of it. But I'm willing to get root at least. Sounds like it's time for experimenting. Okay, I'm in. I'll see if I can pull some resources. Enable Developer settings (tap build 7 times). In The Developer settings turn it on. Turn on OEM Unlocking (to unlock the Bootloader). Turn on USB Debugging. Go down to Select USB configuration and make sure it's at MTP.

[/COLOR]The Viking Pro used a SP splash tool to see the device , I've heard it works on this. Also listed was a driver. I'll go look for the frimware hopefully we both have the same. Then there's one thing that's been making me wonder. The Viking Pro uses the exact same motherboard and components as the Acer Icona, which has current 8.0 firmware. I don't see why for the life of me why I can't float that firmware in the RCA. It's an idea. But here's the Viking Pro link,

Hey thanks, I saw you on another forum (unless Casper Young is a common name?) and you said something about usb serials being locked, but I will defintely look into this! THX!
EDIT: BTW, my build number is V08- 1.15.20
I'll bet that's me, and my actual name. Howdy Thar. Yes USB Serials appear locked by manufactuer. When I dig into the data section of my rooted Viking Pro I happened to notice they were somehow locked and I was unable to follow the pathway. I can still try. But what I think you're trying to do is gain access via USB, correct? I talked to Smartman Vartan long ago and we have one interesting delima. Okay so we can gain access, but then what? It's not like we can just throw anything in it. I have 3 different devices The Maven Pro, the Viking Pro (both are rooted) and I got this Galileo Pro. Long story short, I was looking for compatible firmware. Went old school, look at the specs. Not the ordinary ones you find anywhere, the real specs. Go here, https://www.productchart.com/tablets/11121 sign up, yeah, WOW! Okay so I compare a few things, (I'm off exploring the Viking Pro), didn't have the galileo yet. Now, come to find out, the Viking has the same exact motherboard and components as the Acer Icona 10.1 (I forget which specific one). Hmmmm, now that's intresting. Can I, just toss it in there? I don't see why not. Others here suggest otherwise. I don't flash anything without back-up That's item #1 we need if you're gonna follow along. #2? The SP Flash Tool. I have those. Now I gotta open this puppy up and check out the motherboard. Gimmie a couple days I'll get back.
I wish we could use Odin3 but here's what I got For starters. I'll write out the tutorial if I get anywhere. How to run the SP Flash Tool:

If your intention is only to root the device you must first enable Developer Settings and then enable OEM unlock which gives you access to the Bootloader. Now you can flash in a custom recovery and then you will be able to root the device. You cannot do so by any other means. It will reject any attempt to root unless the Bootloader is unlocked!

Yesterday, I tried flashing the firmware you linked to, and well, RIP. Bricked. Yours had build number .22, while I needed .15. So now I don't know if I can fix it. BTW Drivers worked and everything else. Did "fastboot oem unlock" and got to the "Do you want to unlock bootloader?" page, BUT the volume keys weren't programmed into it so you can't confirm nor deny. The bootloader needs to patched.
But before I get there, I need you to find a firmware that has .15 in the middle like this: x.15.x
Please, you are my only hope.
PS: I contacted Bogram, who patched the bootloader on the viking pro. If I can get the right firmware, then I can send it to him so he can patch it and I'm there. IF HE DOES IT.
TIA!
Brick
BTW, I think it might be a hard brick. I don't know much about bricking, but it won't even turn on, and the charging light comes on if even it isn't plugged into the outlet (SUPER WEIRD)
EDIT: When flashing, it never said completed. I waited for a really long time and then clicked stop. I really don't know too much of what I'm doing

Wow try slowing down a bit. Sorry to hear your having difficulties with your tablet. I didn't expect you to flash it yet. No-one has provided anything to flash into it yet, I thought we were going to go looking. I'm hoping there can be a way to get past a brick. I've been reluctant to flash any of my devices for exactly the reason that you're dealing with. I didn't think to post what my firmware build number was, I'll edit that in.
I'll look for your firmware or ask RCA for it. This might take a bit. What color light is showing. And somehow try getting it to boot to recovery. Where you can reset it. Thats where the back-up is supposed to go also. There can be a variety of combinations to get there. Isn't there a reset hole to the left and a little below the micro sd slot. You may have to have it docked to get to recovery (the Viking Pro is like that). I'll do some research and see what I can find.

BTW, I think it might be a hard brick. I don't know much about bricking, but it won't even turn on, and the charging light comes on if even it isn't plugged into the outlet (SUPER WEIRD)[END QOUTE]
Wow try slowing down a bit. Sorry to hear your having difficulties with your tablet. I didn't expect you to flash it yet. No-one has provided anything to flash into it yet, I thought we were going to go looking. I'm hoping there can be a way to get past a brick. I've been reluctant to flash any of my devices for exactly the reason that you're dealing with. I didn't think to post what my firmware build number was, I'll edit that in.

Whoops. Yeah I'm sorry, I've always been a bit hasty. I have looked for my firmware, but would RCA give it to you? I forgot to say my processor is MT6513. Not MT6127.
Well, thanks for spending so much of your time for me though. You have been very helpful. For me, bricking it was a learning experience. I learned a LOT about how android works messing with this tablet, and come on, it was a crap-let I only decided to
"hack" it once we ordered a new one (The keyboard doesn't work anymore)
The day I did it, I got frustrated I couldn't unlock the bootloader, so I wanted to do something else, without thinking about it. LOL. Well, more learning for me!
The only light it ever does it bright blue, and it no longer does it without being plugged into the outlet. Oddly enough, I didn't think to use the reset button, and in device manager it still shows up as preloader device, even though I suspected to be the preloader to be corrupted. There really shouldn't be a reason it won't start now. Also for some reason, ADB never has regonized this device, unless in fastboot mode.

Welcome to the place where you gotta play it safe. Yes RCA does provide the firmware, here;s your like for that.

Now what I don't understand is why RCA implies there's no different versions of the software and you have a possible bricked device. I have a few articles that say even if your bricked you can flash in the software. Here's the tutorial for using the SP flash tool and another software location. The Tutorial makes me wonder though because if you look at steps 1, 2 and 3 they're questionable, especially #3. I'll get back to you in a bit, gotta chore to do.

Oh, and you have yet to learn about playing with Androids These RCAs don't count. They're completely different from flashing a Samsung Galaxy or any other Androids.
