Hi, I manually installed android wear 2, but I found some issues with the new version, ok google commands do not appear to work, sending new whatsapp messages do not work, therefore I tried to go back to the 1.5 version, but now the recovery does not let me scroll down the options.
Does any one know a fix to this?

Same problem here on recocery
Ok Google requires Google assistant activation on your phone and watch with 2.0.
As for the recovery issue no idea.
Try this:
After sliding from top corner to bottom corner, for entering the recovery at boot, cover the whole touchscreen with your hand and release when the recovery menu pops up.

when you are in the recovery cover the screen with the palm of your hand, and that works

It should pop up a dialog for setup on the watch when you first say ok Google to it. That's how it worked on mine.

I was on a 5 hour flight earlier today, and while I was on the flight I got bored with my nook so I started trying to figure out the different settings that anycut can create shortcuts to..... Beware don't do it. 2 of them did nothing because of an error, and the last one I did said "you do not have permission" then my nook rebooted and erased most everything...
Except, the hacker keyboard was there, the search button said it was not installed, and I couldn't use the unroot.apk because I no longer had superuser access.
Doing the 8 failed boot attempts got me back to square 1, and I also figured out how to bypass the out of box experience. I didn't have wifi and it also bypassed my registering my nook.
FYI: to bypass at the factory startup screen, hold volume up and tap the lower left then the lower right hand sides of the screen in that order... A button will show up that says factory, click it and then hold the volume up and tap the lower right hand side of the screen. Another box will appear then you can click "skip oobe".

This will probably halve your battery life (which should be 8hrs+ with wifi, 10 without).
what will halve my battery life? not registering?

I believe one person (at least) had this experience and the general belief is that not registering caused some B&N service to constantly run in the background. If you see otherwise, please let us know.
Is there an app that I can run to view to monitor this?

I thought we have successfully debloat all the bn svc, didn't we? It's kinda moot since the ota seems to not care if you have registered or not.
On another note, i noticed the owner and account name in my settings menu changed to "unavailable" after i debloat. Anyone has any ideas?

I was desperate on the flight because now I didn't have anything to play with.
When my device originally reset, the oobe was giving me errors because I had deleted the devicemanager.apk to hopefully stop updates. But doing so made it impossible for me to get past the registration screen because necessary files were missing.
Did a google search on my iPhone while on the plane to figure out how to get past the startup registration and wifi process

Well you can just time battery usage and watch it go down, but yeah there are various battery programs to track it (betterbatterystats etc). It's not "a little bit" - it's almost halved. Sure, go test it and report back. More data points are always useful
Hey Guys,
So i brought this up in a forum and it didnt seem like anyone knew what i was talking about and i wanted to make the feature known to all because it is that awesome and apple doesnt do this.
Im talking about if you go to play.google.com, choose "My Android apps" and then you can manage your apps from any computer in the world as long as your phone is connected to some kind of interet. Even if your not it will just pick up your install or uninstall when it hits an internet connection. You can search the playstore and all its glory and choose which device to install the app on if you have more than one device, it will even tell you whether or not its compatible with your device. If you dont know of the feature you should try it because it is a time saver like a mofo.
Yeah I've used this before and love it!
One question for ya though. When you go to install an app, does it actually install for you? Mine I have to open playstore on my phone and go to my apps page where it's waiting to be installed.

Dang it must be a setting I need to change. I waited for an hour one day and nothing. The next time I realized it was instantly waiting on my phone for me to click install.
Thats a lil odd, i have never had to go to my phone and click install they just install for me after i click intall on the website. I would go to the bottom of the Page, click "My orders and settings", click the settings tab, and see if your device is using the newest sync version of itself. Sometimes when flashing OS's on your phone will create a new instance of that phone rather than taking on the last. You may just need to check off your most recent version and uncheck the older one.

the activation screen on an unactivated phone. you get it when you power on the phone. any app listed under apps on the phone. all phones come with pre-installed apps. one of these apps.

Apparently you gotta touch the four corners on the select language screen. Works on AOSP, might not work on skinned Android versions.

take sim card out, then bypass activation screen. go through Setup Wizard skipping/opting out of everything via Next/Skip/No. at end of setup, you will see Home screen. from there you can run apps, etc.
i had the sim card installed still. when i bypassed the activation screen, i only had access to Settings on the phone.
Glad you solved it.:good:
Ok, so heres my problem. Ill try and be as specific as possible without acting like a crazy person, because i am at my wits end with this.
I bought this tablet cheap at a pawn shop. They said it was locked and they 100% could not contact the original owner of it. Me, being somewhat learned with android stuffs, said ok, i will reset it from the recovery menu, NO PROBLEM. yea right. Get home, reset it and now I am introduced to this new Google factory reset protection business.
Now I have researched all possible ways to bypass this. The #1 solution is to get into the settings menu and enable developer options and go from there. I have enabled developer options on every android i have ever owned. Somehow, with this p.o.s. tablet....it will not work. I have tried every which way to tap build number 1, 000 times and nothing. For some reason, I cant get it to work.
Another solution that i found was to download and sideload this app to bypass it for you. Technically, its for Samsung devices, but i tried it anywho. All good until i plug the tablet into my pc. The PC wont recongnize the stupid tablet.
I am asking EVERYONE and ANYONE. Is there some other way for me to get past this crap? It is a RCA Viking Pro 10" tablet Android version 6.0 Model Number-RCT6303W87M7
PLEASE HALP!
Thanks in advance peoples,
-Jess
Same exact tablet and problem too.
My neighbor got it at an auction and I've done the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then the trick to get into settings but tapping on Build doesn't work. Someone mentioned that 4 long taps worked for them so I tried that too with no luck. Not sure what else to do but send the neighbor to a cellphone repair store but it's for his grandson so I wanted to help out. Any advice/instructions would be great.
Thanks,
Roger

I think I may have solved this problem. I also may have been the first to do this since I haven't found the answer anywhere else and I successfully accomplished it very easily actually after weeks of trying every available method out there. I hope this helps everyone. Let me know how it goes. Here goes: after getting to the page asking for the previous owners info, I hit the back button. I hit add network and typed in several random letters. I then long pressed those letters and clicked assist. I then clicked on gmail and was taken to the permissions and such page. I clicked on the 3 dots in the upper right and clicked manage apps. From there it took me to the settings page. Once in settings, I simply just added another user account and entered my current google information and went through all the steps. After I made it to the home screen I powered off the tablet and then restarted it. It asked for my info again and I entered my google information and it took me to the home screen after answering a few more questions. I then went to settings and deleted the user account I set up and that made me owner. I even did a complete reset and it no longer had the previous owners info. It only needed mine. FINALLY, I can use this tablet after weeks and frustration of trying to bypass this. Please let me know if this works for anyone. I may have left out something on accident if it doesn't. I'll redo it if I have to and possibly make a video if so. Thanks. I hope this does the trick. It would be nice to be the first at something for once if this is the case. Lol

Well, turns out this tablet is a RCT6603 with the last patch date being June 2016. It wouldn't let me enter a Google account - it would go straight to the screen where it said this tablet was reset and to enter the previous owner's account information. Google must have really patched that version tight as a drum...
Glad it's at least working for you though.

Mine was RTC6303 with an earlier date than yours , I used the 4 long presses to get into developers mode and it worked.... Russ
an old thread but figured id add a note in case anyone comes looking later :
go through setup, enter wifi and when it comes up asking for previous owners info, hit back till you get to wifi screen, click on 'add wifi' then hit a few random characters, click and hold on the characters and then select 'ASSIST'.
When new window opens up, type chrome and select the chrome app when it shows in the dropdown menu, download and install google account manager 6.0.1 apk, then download and install quick shortcut maker, open quick shortcut maker and then type 'google account manager' in search bar. click on this and then from the options that open, select the 1 that ends with 'loginactivity' and then select 'Try IT', from the new screen that opens up, click the 3 dots at top right of screen and select 'Browser Sign-in'. Log in with your Google credentials, once it goes back to the quick shortcut maker screen, use power button to restart tablet, proceed through setup as per normal and instead of going to the google login screen, itll come up stating that your new accounts are ready for use.
once you have went through setup fully, goto settings and factory reset the tablet, this will get the tablet to a 'brand new out of the box' state and remove those previous credentials from your legally purchased 2nd hand tablet
It worked!
Thank you your instructions worked perfectly.
Hi there! So happy to see that this post was updated!!
I found a bit of a quicker way to get through the FRP issue thanks to everyones comments.
1. Connect to wifi
2. Back out and click add new network. Type some letters and highlight, click on Assist.
3. In the search box start typing Settings and wait for the settings app to appear. Click that.
4. Go to Back up and Reset. Click Factory Reset which will delete the connected google account.
Thanks guys! Also plugging in a mouse made it way easier to zip through all the steps.
So I do everything that all of you have tried and it wont work. I got the tablet from my grandmother who passed away. I am getting more irritated with the device as I do not have the money to buy a new one. I do as everyone says to do however there is no assist button at all when I highlight everything.... help please.... Im pulling my hair out over this
I found the easiest way to get into settings, theres a button on the keyboard with the settings icon, press it and it takes you straight to the settings menu.
Hi All,
I bought a tablet from a hospital auction a few weeks back. It has pre-programmed content running on them. The content is Context Media Health services and they play on a loop. I have tried a full wipe, restore, factory reset and nothing is working. I cannot even add an account or get google play to acknowledge I have a device - probably because I do not even have google play and cannot get it to install. I would like to just wipe out all the Context Medical Health information and get them back to factory or just get that off of their in order to use them.
Model # UIT313B-U01
Android version 4.4.4
kernel version: 3.0.36+
build number: Android 4.4.4
Outform-TAB1310-13.3-Y4. 13-20160122
Can anyone point me in a direction or lead me somewhere. These are just the way they came to me I have not ran any programs on them to correct because I am not sure what I need to do.
I would appreciate any help and Thank you in advance!

If you can access the status bar(it may close itself, if so just tap it really fast), tap on settings.
Send the .apks you will need over Bluetooth(custom launcher, F-Droid, etc.) then run them.
After installing your launcher, enable it in settings.
Next time you go to the home screen, a pop-up box confirming which launcher to use will appear. Just tap on your launcher and select "Always".
DO NOT uninstall "MDM-Client". Every thing will break if you do!
The tablet will be in a workable state, I have not tried to install a custom ROM, but it would probably work.
I hope this worked for you! I have almost exactly the same thing you have.

You can try to send via USB if the table has USB ports. Mine did near the charging port. Not sure if this will work, because I don't think you can access the file on the tablet to open it, but you can try.

If you transferred over Bluetooth, tap the triple dots in the top-right corner. Then hit "Show received files". Tap the .apk, press install. When that's all done, press the home button, select Nova Launcher, and press "Always". Now you have a different launcher then ContextMedia Health's launcher!
I'll look into getting the Play Store if you'd like.

I tried to on mine but I couldn't get it to work, but try this anyways:
Uninstall the Play Store you have currently installed.
Download the .zip that contains the four .apk files from here. (the file was too large to simply attach to the post, xda caps .zip file sizes at 20 MB)
Get them on the tablet, either by bluetooth or USB.
Install them in this order:
(1) accountmanager.apk
(2) servicesframework.apk
(3) playservices.apk
(4) playstore.apk
After that the Play Store might be installed and work correctly. I am not sure. It's worth trying though.
If it does work, but the play store looks old, don't worry. It will update soon enough.
I hope this helps you out!
