Hi everyone. ...I am not sure I am posting this in the right section and if I am not I apologize. This may be a long shot but I had just acquired an RCA 7 Voyager II tablet Model # RCT6773W22 and it came with Lollipop 5.0 preinstalled on it and I cannot get it rooted at all. I tried pretty much every method I'm guessing because it's a fairly new update and no one came up with a workaround for it to root it. So my request is does anyone possibly have the factory image of KitKat 4.4 or earlier for this tablet and if not would anyone know a source where I can attain this image? Because I would like to roll it back to KitKat and root it because I know there are a few one-click programs that will root it with the older KitKat updates. And also another question I have is will I be able to use Odin to flash the image to the tablet or will I need to use another program or method? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hoping someone could answer a few questions I have for my Saferooted Samsung S4 MK2 4.3
I plan to take a business trip to Europe later this month. Does anyone know if I will run into issues not having the latest 4.4.2 update on my phone? I hate to guess that it'll be fine just to get over there and my phone not work but I also do not care for the idea of losing root because of having to update.
Being it's been over a year since I rooted the phone and I haven't been following this scene. I'm not sure what my options are as far as rooting the S4 with 4.4.2. still gotta search that one. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Can anyone help?
I see that rooting 4.4.2 is still not an option. Will I need to unroot and update?
If I were you, just to be safe I would upgrade to 4.4.2 and stay on stock rooted software while on the trip.
You can upgrade by flashing a no wipe or (recommended) full wipe nc5 tar file with Odin. You can't use an OTA update when you're rooted, it will fail.
You can root 4.4.2 using www.towelroot.com , one click and you're rooted basically
Thank you for replying joshm.
I will look at it now to figure out what to do. Hoping it's not too difficult.
Thanks again for the help.
So I installed this recovery successfully (woohoo!) Now the question is, what can I do with it? Obviously rooted and whatnot of course.
I also hear that there is a new firmware upgrade for this tablet specifically, and I was wondering how I could apply that seeing as the system update in my tablet doesn't work... (thanks Verizon?) but you know, just trying to get to some newer firmware.
Thanks in advance!
Here's the recovery that I'm talking about:

I'm just your average Android enthusiast, not nearly as talented and skilled as you devs, but I know my way around my phone. I am currently rocking the Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 NC5 (Rooted with Towelroot and Safestrap 3.72 installed). I never thought highly of Samsung's user interface and have wanted to upgrade to CM forever, but as each new update comes I really, really want it, so I carelessly take the OTA. I've done this far too many times so I decided to disable the system update app so I wouldn't be bothered by the new updates that come around.
Anyway, I think it's time to upgrade to Lollipop now that it's available, but I really want to keep root access, and since you guys are the professionals, I want to know the best way to flash the new update instead of take the OTA, which, if I'm not mistaken, will let me keep root and the small possibility that I can get Cyanogen some day. Is it best for me to just go ahead and take the risk-free OTA update, or should I flash? If so, can someone guide me through the process? I'm sorry if this sounds like child's play to you but I don't want to brick my phone in any situation, so it'd be great if someone could help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Update: I followed a tutorial to update to OC1, but was not successful (Wouldn't boot). I used Odin to reflash the NC5 and now I'm back where I started. Anyone have an idea?

Edit: Tried this twice, both didn't work. I'm considering just taking the OTA and not getting root. What should I do?
Hi guys
I just got LG G3 from Sprint and I did somehow manage it to root it using kingo. I also got notification that update is downloaded (OTA), should I install it or not? Root and Hotspot are important to me but feel free go give me any suggestions - I would appreciate them. If you decide to do that I might need some help because I was away from android for a while....
Thank you in advance!
Forgot to mention, running 4.4.2 Stock Rom, rooted
The OTA you got is probably to take you Lollipop...I recently unrooted and went from 4.4.2 KitKat to 5.0.1 Lollipop. I read numerous times not to take the OTA updates when rooted on KitKat. I used an unrooting method that used the LG Flash Tool - something like this - http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html - though there's a similar guide here at xda, too. You'll need to download some files, including the flash tool. It seems daunting at first, but follow the instructions closely and you'll get through it.
Thank you on your response, I was very disappointed that many people viewed thread but ignored. My primary concern is - will OTA make device not rootable or rooting should still be easy process?
Anyone know of a way to downgrade my Verizon Ellipsis 8 Tablet from its current android version of 5.1.1 to its old version of 4.2.2?
Any help would be much appreciated.
did someone made it ?
I understand you, I also want to roll back, in the end I got stuck in bootloader mode ... (I wanted to install TWRP, in the end, as I understand it, I killed the tablet, _,) In order to roll back, you need to flash the tablet, but for this you first need to find the firmware with the desired your version
