1. hold the 'power'+'volumeUP' buttons until you get into recovery mode
2. once in recovery mode, go to and select 'Reboot to bootloader'
3. when the 'Fastboot mode' message appears at the bottom of the screen, plug in the USB-A male to male cable to the PC
4. if you have your device manager open, you will notice that it is recognized as 'Android Phone'/'Android Sooner Single ADB Interface"
i tried rooting with three different 'one-click root' pc applications: iRoot(v1.8.8), Kingoroot(v1.5.0), and King Root(v3.5)
these are the results i got:
-iRoot: it connects but the message reads 'Not support mode'
-Kingroot: it detects the device and trys to connect but gets stuck in a loop trying to connect
-Kingoroot: this detects the device as 'HTC Device'. i click the 'Root' button and it trys to root, but it only gets to 19% and then it fails
i'm theorizing that maybe if i get some different drivers for the pc or maybe making sure that the 'one-click root' applications are the latest versions might help. i dont know, we'll see.
again this is for the RCA RCT6303W87M7 running Android 6.0.
if anyone tries this and has more success, please let me know.
so to update on this, updated and installed the latest versions of the 'one-click root' applications and got the same results as before. let me know if anyone else tried this.
this is for RCA Viking Pro, model RCT6303W87M7, Android 6.0

Any luck rooting this device? Would love if there were some custom rom that was downloaded. Don't use all the Google apps installed.

I have not rooted anything without a how-to. Prehaps someplace there is a how-to to do this but this is what makes sense to me:
My New Motivation:
At this point my issue is that the unit has not had any updates including security since i purchased it. I really expect more and it's to the point where I feel it might actually be more secure rooted than not.
Originally
I just searched , saw it could not be rooted easily and was like whatever.
Ideas about how to get started
Get the adb tools working and using those get as much information from the prompt as possible without root and share it all.
If factory ROM images are around or can be backed up from device then prehaps a disassembly of the ROM images and examination of settings files will reveal any interrupt hooks for getting root that are as of yet undiscovered.
Gleaning any information from online sources .. prehaps a tear down of the unit, we need to find the most similar models to this model family.
See if there is any information available from the OEM. Determine who did the Android build. ....
What do you think?
